When will Windows XP be useless?

Filed under: Reviews — Epitaph64 @ 8:43 pm

So, with Windows 7 now live, one has to wonder: when will Windows XP finally kick the bucket for good? Windows 7 is poised to get at least a few of them to upgrade, but will it really be the bombshell release Microsoft needs to get windows users to be paying windows users? In my opinion, there are 3 changes that would be beneficial in getting more people to switch to windows 7 from XP.

I came across this gem while scouring the internet one day. It is a “roguelike” game, supporting multiple players on hotseat (on computer) and many randomly generated dungeons. This is a fun game to play for a few minutes or to try to conquer by state saving.

eVGA 7600gs

The eVGA 7600gs from Newegg

About a week ago I bought a 7600gs for my brother’s computer. It was an easy install and so far has been a very good “bang for the buck” device.

This was quickly remedied by setting the brightness to 30 (which is what is what I still run it at today.) After setting the brightness I noticed something quite annoying. A stuck pixel. The stuck pixel was bottom right and bright red. I was a little annoyed by it but luckily, about three days later, it disappeared on its own (and a couple hours of running JScreenFix basic and afterwards rubbing it for about one minute.) Ok, so I really wanted it gone! (more…)

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse Review

The Logitech G5

Well, I’ve ran a variety of tests from self-feel tests to actual hardware tests and the Logitech G5 is one heck of great bargain! For fifty dollars (which seems like a lot at first for something as simple as a mouse) allows use of the best mouse I have ever used! The accuracy of the mouse is extremely good thanks to the advanced laser technology. (more…)
