    Having three separate $9 an hour jobs is not the same as $27 an hour, it's still only $9 an hour.

  13. Re:Yes of course on Can Legacy Dual-Core CPUs Drive Modern Graphics Cards? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't rely on passmark. I have a GTX 285 and a 460. Passmark says the the 460 is way faster than the 285.

    My actual gaming experience with those cards says the 285 hoses the 460.

    Look at this page: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

    It shows a GTX 260 with a higher rating than a GTX 295.

    "What? The digital copies of games are usually priced lower than their disc-copy retail counterparts."

    Excuse me, no they are not.

    My local Game store, Batman AC £12.99, Dishonoured £12.99. On steam they're £19.99 and £29.99. Just two examples

    And all the cheap SoldOut label games that are £5 each or three for £10 in-store are £6.99 on steam.

    Of course there are exceptions, but not that many.
