The two different font colors are for your idiot pleasure! Only because I can't figure out how to correct it... I am an idiot!

Hello fellow idiots, Here's my dilemma: I would like to play COD: Black Ops, however I currently have an AMD 2.8 dual core, 8800GTS PCI-e 1.0 graphics card and 2GB of ram (not sure of the frequency). I have checked two different sites to see if my pc will run it and got two different answers. It really comes down to the processor. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2579&dl=1#sp). The manufactures states I can put an AM2+ processor in, but the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0(5200MHz) to HT1.0(2000 MT/s). I need to know what that will effect, i.e. memory, video....). I am operating on limited funds ($150 for game & processor) so my goal is to do a minor upgrade as I can't afford to purchase new motherboard, memory, video card and the game. I would most likely buy a 3.0GHz quad-core or a triple-core. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

For $9 I'd tell ya to put the mattress on the floor!

Lots of people don't come forward right away when they win. I would be talking to an attorney, financial planner, etc. I would also like to maintain my privacy!

Too cool, Trolloc! You gotta post pics on the finished product and from Halloween night!

It's true, you are an idiot!

Bigmeandean - Soul Mate! There is a verse in trhe Bible that says, "What God has put together, let not man put apart." This is a warning to others not to mess with your marriage or anyone else's for that matter. Marriage is intended to last a lifetime, that's why divorce is so messy and painful. There have been times I couldn't stand my wife, but I still loved her. Sorry to hear about your divorce Dean.

Better stay away from chocolate too!

I have this loan... not hard to qualify for "rural" in Idaho.

Congrats on the tags you SexyGuy!

I feel your pain, man. Been there. Couple thoughts: 1) Don't look for that perfect person/soul mate. They don't exist. Be the best person you can. 2) Be selective in who you date and don't move it to a sexual relationship. Once it turns sexual you both quit pursuing each other and the relationship falls apart. 3) Talk about things with a good friend, preferably someone older who's been around the block a time or two. People make the biggest mistakes of their lives when they are in pain. Wait it out, talk it over, sleep on it.....

I think I drove through your area last 4th of July on the way back from my Granddad's funeral. He lived in Green Forest, near Berryville and Harrison.

Workaround for Win7 permissions pop-up 1) Set Xfire.exe properties to run as administrator. 2)Remove/Disable Xfire.exe from Startup programs. Eg. Remove from registry, or run msconfig and disable. 3) Launch Xfire as a scheduled task on startup. Follow these instructions: http:archive3.slickdeals.net/showpost.php?p=6480998&postcount=1

You can tell a person's age by their favorite movies!

LOL, nice!

BluBurdXI i wouldnt buy BP gas if they were the last gas company on earth. id much rather ride a bike or walk. and i agree with what our government is doing about it is bad to. what bp is doing is crap. they kno that they can cap it they are just taking their own sweet time. they dont have to live in the US or on the coast or in mississippi case on land. BP goes and dumps that crude oil into mississippis land fills and thinks nothing of it.. if i lived in mississippi evry BP that walked into a landfill i would hoot. this is crap. and it pisses me off. i have only been to the golf once and i would love to be able to go back when it doesnt look lik the way it is now. No company wants to see their product/profit wash ashore; that just doesn't make sense. Trying to cap a well that's 5000 feet deep is more of a challenge then your young mind can comprehend. You can't send a team of divers down there to oversee the repair. Most, if not all, is done by camera and robot (which is where gamers would be experts at!!) It was a horrible accident that none of us want to see repeated. Maybe we should be drilling for oil where it's easier to get..... my bad, that would be too easy.

I think what our own government has done and continues to do to us is much worse.

PT-Bama or you give me $50 bucks .. Hilarious!

A couple years ago my mother-in-law was riding her horse south of Boise and came across these little guys: I've lived in Idaho my whole life and have never seen that many rattlers at one time!

So sorry to hear of the loss of your loved ones DeeJay and Arrienn. Three weeks ago I drove to Arkansas to bury my granddad. His funeral was more of a celebration than mourning as we all knew he would pass on soon, however, I still miss him. Mourn your loved ones and cherish your memories. Kudos to the Idiots for taking care of family!

Thank you all for the warm welcome, it's nice to be home! Again my name is Marty and was born and raised in Idaho (not Iowa), home of the famous potatoes and land of more dairy cows than people. I've been married to my wife Sabrina for 13 years; we have four surviving children ages 12, 11, 7, and 5 - my youngest was born in the bathtub. I live out in the country with our chickens, goose, duck, dumb dog, and two kittens. Sometimes my 1st and 3rd born will game with me on XI if I give them ice cream. I've been gaming since high school... forgot that I used to play Ghost Recon (love to play coop). Especially love to play with people that are tactically aware of their environment. I'm about to upgrade to Win7, so I may be absent a day or two.
