hey do you use paypal to accept credit cards? if so what kind of fees are you being charged? i'm looking to set something up for online payments off a website.


I would look into Amazon payments. It seems much more flexible than Paypal.

Yeah, after you rid win7 of mouse acceleration there's a noticeable difference when trying to snap onto a target.

Now if you really want to practice then use this.

Yeah it's tough. I got a 22k score the other day. Hit 200 of around 250 targets. It gets way too fast at the end

I'm more of a story driven campaign guy. Fps are fun but they don't keep my attention.

Geez...7950s are down to $239 brand new.

ETA: Someone gave me a Dell Studio 1747 today. It needs a new screen and power plug adapter. Not the 12V one that plugs into the wall but the internal plug on the mobo. I don't need it as I have 2 good laptops now that this one is older than. Wondering if it's worth dumping the $70 into fixing it or if I should just part it out on eBay.

Thinking about giving it to my nephew for basic games if I fix it.

The specs

I'd say it's worth fixing. Graphics card might not be all that great, but it definitely could be a damn good machine for $70.

I was reading that it can get 60FPS on older games like L4D2. It would be good enough for some light couch gaming and Minecraft.

I've got the itch to play some mine craft. I might pick it up sometime this week. Does it ever go on sale?

Also thinking about building a streaming Pc but after I get my primary one done.

Sorry for changing topic, but just dropping in to say..

IB-E is WITHIN 2months out Epic build will be Epic. Can't wait to upgrade this build!

Question for you guys:

1. Purchase 3rd Titan
2. Wait until October for 3 x 9970?
3. Sell both Titans for 3 x 780 Classifieds

EDT:
BTW, New Nexus 7 is in.. I want this thing to be my phone.

Only reason it isn't purchased already is because 1 of my 2 Titans has TERRIBLE COIL WHINE at times.

Meaning if I break the loop apart I will difently sell of eBay and purchase another from EVGA. That would take like 3-4weeks to just get all 3 Titans back together. You know?

No, I don't know...

So I just spent the past couple of hours working in installing icenhancer for gta4 episodes, had to downgrade gta version, this whole ordeal. Couldn't get it to work and realized its not compatible with episodes from liberty city. It's compatible with the complete version that includes eflc, but not eflc itself. So I just uninstalled the whole thing and am downloading again.

Or you could wait for Haswell-E and get DDR4, 8+ cores, and use the expected 40 PCIe lanes for 4-way SLI 880s.

Or do both.
