Hardware - April 2007

My other system specs are a core 2 duo e6400 @ stock and 2 gigs of DDR2-667. To run Crysis on max @ 2560 x 1600 with 60 fps before major frame rate optimization it took a Core 2 extreme x6800, 2 gigs of ram, and one 8800 gtx. So considering that the game will be optimized and I am playing at a much lower resolution, do you think I can run Crysis on high? By high I mean most settings on high, a few on medium, light or no anti-aliasing, and full antrisopic filtering.

Hi!
im planning on using UPS as an EXTERNAL BATTERY for laptop...
plug the Laptop's power adapter to the UPS :
UPS > ADAPTER > LAPTOP

-is it true that a 600watt UPS can power a laptop to 10hrs?
-is there a way to calculate battery time by using the UPS' VA rating and my laptop's wattage ?
ex: in a 520Va UPS , How long can the laptop run if it uses 40watts(example)

-any personal experiences on UPS ?
Thanks a lot for your time !

I am putting an additional 1GB of DDR RAM into my desktop computer today, and I am wondering if there is a risk of lost data in the unlikely event the upgrade is done improperly. If there is, should I do a quick backup of some important files?

I'm having problems with my sims2 and I've heard more than once that it maybe a problems with my video card (the game does move really slow). I read in the pamplet that comes with the game that you can upgrade your video card driver from the manufacturer's website but I went there and nothing. Should I just buy another and which one is the best one for this game. I bought a whole new computer for the game itself like a year ago just to have a better video card.
