Re: Battlefield 3 activation code

Is it the premium edition?? I'd happily take it then, as I am a typical tight Scots git who only shelled out for the normal game... :oops:

Re: Upgraded with tears in my eyes

1920x1080 on a 24" monitor only, so more than adequate GPU in those circumstances. No multiple screen layout like your own lol.

Re: New Intel Haswell CPU in 2013. Worth waiting?

As you now know, I took the jump early into Ivy Bridge. Too much evidence of a smaller gain than expected in gaming, and higher cost to buy (although cheaper to run day to day). Here is one of the many articles that swayed me. Intel’s Haswell CPU, successor to Ivy Bridge: details from the Intel Deve...

Re: Upgraded with tears in my eyes

Nothing very potent I'm afraid Bambam. An ATi HD 6970 1mb card. Still runs everything sweetly though for now. As I mentioned in my initial post, this will be up for review later this year if need be.

Re: Upgraded with tears in my eyes

SSD will be 2nd on the "what I need to get next' list, after the keyboard. I'll then get the kids some shoes, but the snow means it is nice and soft under foot for now :wink:

Re: Upgraded with tears in my eyes

Whoops :oops: Damn your common sense attitude Nemes1s :lol: I originally planned on just upgrading the RAM on the current system, as only running 4gig. By the time you pay DDR2 prices, you are looking just under £100 for 8gigs. I couldn't justify that amount on dragging out old tech, so saw the extr...

Upgraded with tears in my eyes

Yes, I am saying goodbye to my Q6600 Go Stepping and Asus P5K-e wifi. It has been many, many years of happy computing and overclocking. I cannot wait for Haswell, and CPU prices never seem to drop radically anyway. Ordered: Intel i5 3570k 3rd gen Ivy cpu = £162.74 & this item Delivered FREE in t...

Re: Late hello

As Yoda said. The word 'Clan' in gaming terms really doesn't apply to us. We are a community of like minded gamers. A lot of us left traditional clans, and their competitive nature to join OFc for a more fun way of playing. It truly has an international flavour, and we apologise ahead of time for al...

New Intel Haswell CPU in 2013. Worth waiting?

Intel are releasing the Haswell chips early in 2013. These will replace the very short lived Ivy Bridge line. I am in the market to upgrade right now, with my eye on the Ivy 3570k. The heat issues aren't a problem in my eyes as it performs 10% better on the same clock speed as the Sandy. So a 4.7Ghz...
