GRID is propably the closest reference to HP. Expect similar or worse performance.

The CPU and RAM are ok, but what you/we really need to know is the graphics capability of the laptop. It pretty much needs to be discreet in order to run the game properly (or even, at all). Any idea what that might be? If unsure, post the exact make and model of the laptop.

Certainly sounds like a damaged disk. You could try to make a copy of the disk. Typically cd/dvd burner software use more robust methods when reading the source disk. If you are lucky, a copy of the disk might work just fine. Be sure the use the original when playing, iirc Wanted still used a disk c...

Dirty or scratched disk maybe? Try cleaning it gently.

Hmm, I may actually need to check this out...Haven't logged in to World in months.

Oh, no, it gets better. Recently I spent $2700 on a computer speaker setup. それはどうだ??? Say what?! That's monopoly dollars right?! =P~ My total mediacenter setup (mce pc, 42" tv, av-amp, 5.1 speaker system) total might be close to that, but for a "computer" setup that's awesome. Care t...

I'd also get a warranty upgrade to atleast 3 years. At that price range you'll be really upset if it should fail after the first year with just the basic warranty.

You could partition with that installer to (for example) two 1.5 TB partitions, which would then give the correct total size. After the OS install you should be able to see the disk and the partition in disk manager where you should be able to convert the disk to dynamic and re-partition to one part...

What does the Marvell controller itself report as the size of the array (the configurator during bootup, don't go into OS at all)?

That, I'm afraid, is a limitation of NTFS (maximum partition table (MBR) size is 2TB, 64TB for XP64). You need to create a "dynamic" volume in disk manager for bigger partitions. However booting from a dynamic (or GPT) volume requires EFI-support and 64bit OS, but as I understood you won't...

I might end up buying a real hardware RAID controller, but I don't know where to check if it's real RAID or fakeraid, because it was never stated for my motherboard to only support fakeraid. What would be the best type of a hardware RAID controller, a PCI card, a PCI-E card or something else (if th...

Are you saying the when you boot up to XP you cannot see the drives connected to the marvell controller at all? Not even in "control panel -> system -> device manager". If so you propably need to (re)install the Marvell drivers for XP. You are sure the Marvell (in IDE mode) can't be set as...

True. All stores online or offline have discount items. Personally I haven't bought a physical media game (for PC) since I started using Steam. And propably won't in the future either. Steam it's just so effortless to use, buy->install->play. No need to mess with DVD's which might fail, drm's also w...

Umm.... No.

Did you read through the post? Or the headline? Quite clearly stated as Q4 2011.

Go to "User Control Panel" (top left) and edit your account information (Profile->Edit profile), specifically "Location".

A bit quieter perhaps. The heydays of UG2 are gone for sure...

Much of it is propably also due to casual gaming popularity increase in general (on all platforms, mobile to console to pc). In the last few years we have seen a number of very simple games indeed rise to online fame (Farmville anyone?), World sort of hits this market with it's quick adoptability an...

Not common, but not unheard of. It is possible the winner was using a high level rental car and owned (which is somewhat common if all racers are relatively close in level and only one them is using a much, much higher level car).

Blew away my christmas bonus early... and got another 5970. Ps. Just so we're Clear, this has nothing to do with gaming performance. It has to do with "mine is bigger than yours" :wink: Pss. Seriously, it's mainly to run a specific opencl app i'm co-developing. It does run games nicely too...

Excellent idea, count me in

Yup, about 1.5 GB iirc.

That would've been internet history. A troll thread created by the forum owner...

(also, wouldn't that be impossible by definition as it is the owner who in effect decides what is considered trolling)

Short version: Elements is the (very) water down version for home users, the CS version is the full professionally used version.

The price ratio should give you a clue. Elements is around 80€, CS5 (the latest version) goes for about 800€ (the extended version even more).
