| In other news my flash drive decided to eat it today... thankfully it is a corsair and they have basically a no questions asked replacement policy. Unfortunately I still get shafted by return shipping. |

| That reply was brief because I typed it on my phone while eating. Elaborating on the RAM bit, my ram was sold as DDR3 1600 and 1.65 v and intel claims that that would cause it not to boot with my processor but my motherboard recognizes it as 1333 and 1.5v so I am just suspecting that kingston advert... |

Update:
New motherboard came in, rev 3.1 instead (different usb 3.0 controller I believe)
Popped it in and got it to power up with a lovely CPU error light.
So now to see about RMAing my processor. |

| ASUS is going to RMA the motherboard and because of its price they will cross ship it so I dont have to figure out how to safely store a CPU in a dorm room without its original packaging. |

The whole pack is not necessary. Just get the original. It's a strong candidate for best game of all time.
Picked up the original and downloaded a DirectX 10 Renderer at the recommendation of Paradigm and played through the tutorial. Will probably start the game tomorrow. |

| Really? I liked Trine a bunch. Torchlight I didn't touch up on. I probably should have. Looks like the other laptop is capable of handling Trine, thank goodness... and managed to get the achievement and earned a ticket. Sorry the edit was about torchlight. I downloaded Trine and it crashed at the e... |

EDIT: Nevermind, looked at screenshots, I remember trying it and not really caring for it. Not a huge fan of MMORPG style RPGs I prefer games like fallout. EDIT2: Edit 1 ... |

Just to be wary the Steam Subscriber Agreement says:

Regretting not buying Oblivion yesterday but I am not sure I have the time to put into a game that long.
If L4D2 goes on a larger sale will probably buy a copy for the sister same with Bad Company 2. |

Hmm, I am also wondering if it is a driver thing. I played through at at 1920x1200 at fairly high settings on my 2.4ghz macbook pro with 8600m GT 256MB and I think I used vsync without lag.
I may give it a shot later maxed on my GTX480 with vsync and see how it acts (I have it on steam also) |
