hey versetile..
i am gonna purchase gaming pc(assembling)
so i want 21.5inch monitor
1-which one is best led or lcd(whats difference)
and i3 2200 processer….(suggested by salman)..
2-which grapics card is better in that screen size not too costly..
3.Difference between ddr2 or ddr3 ram which is best…
4.is blue ray drive is needed for new window game..
5-which is best wireless or wire keyboard or mouse..
1) LCD is fine, and cheaper than LED monitor.
2) Not sure, depends on your budget. Go to tomshardware.com and start researching the video cards.
3) DDR2 and DDR3 RAM depends on what your motherboard can support. DDR3 is faster ram than DDR2 ram.
4) No.
5) I love wireless keyboard and mouse, less wires. It’s fine for gaming, unless you are playing in super critical gaming environment, then wired keyboard and mouse has less lag, and helps you become the FPS and RTS king. If you don’t care, then go wireless and get rechargeable batteries.
main dilema is video card…
and i will purchase xbox 360 game controller… should i use usb 3.0 port i dont know a word about that…
USB 3.0 is nice, faster than USB 2.0. What video card you getting?
USB 3 gives nothing for a xbox controler,
and many motherboards doesn’T have USB 3 yet, unless it’s a new one.
So, USB 3 is Just usefulle if you move lots of datas from the port.
my choice ati 5770 but salman had said that it has a big fault so searching for other..
and what super cooling case and its feature…
WELL VERSETILE HELP ME

veresetile i have my new LAPTOP of lenovo
i3 2130m
1gb nvidia and intel hd grapics
3gb ddr3
what type of game i could play
Anything.
but rohan said you can play game in small resolution
my lapy model lenovo
z570 plz check
Hey i said you will be able to play any game. The most heavy games will also run but may require lower resolution.
confusion
What confusion dude???
Just borrow a dvd of Battle field bad company 2, u’ll get ur answer.
>But do not use mafia 2, for checking rig performance.
well my lappy have two grapics card an i got a button to boost my ghrapics card to nvidia 1gb but it heat up my lappy …
so my question is how to measure the temperature or should i purchase a lappy cooling pad
Get a cooling pad, that is what I use.
CAN YOU GIVE ME PIC
http://cgi.ebay.in/USB-Cooling-Pad-Laptop-Stand-Cooler-3Fan-Free-Ship-Sale-/250895009568?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3a6a820720
check this one out…….thats ok for you, i guess
Seems ridiculous.
i need idm full but no one is working on my window 64bit plz link sorry for piracy
He wants a cheap cooler……what can i do in that case…i had no option.
Wow new laptop and heat up problem, seems interesting! Dnt buy that cooler.
no no not the heat problem… my lappy never crash due to heat, its nvidia that make it heat but no crash …
and my lappy is on by 49hr now
Mate….its not a problem….just don’t use your lappy on bed….use it only on tables or even hard surfaces. Using it on bed causes the vents to be blocked and hence it might give out heat….not too much may be, but that can be your problem…….coolers are really not required nowadays unless you do a hard mod with your lappy……..or your lappy is too old.
means i can modify my grapics card ie gt520m to other so i could play high reg game
Laptops come with inbuilt graphics card….they are not replaceable. Some laptops come with replaceable graphics card but most of them are high end. Believe me i have checked everywhere and i have not found any mod or as we say “jugaad” to change or upgrade graphics card. External graphics are also available but they are not available in india and also are not very successful and cost more than a laptop.
hey rohan is any way that my grapics card improved to play new game on full screen ….
or using intel and nvidia at same time :0 or any mod???????
Overclocking may be the only way…….will explain you in detail. Contact me on facebook….i guess versatile would not like us using his blog as a chat medium.
Thank you. Or exchange email addresses.
ok rohan on fb and sorry versetile

Hey versatile…..i am getting an offer for a xbox 360(white version and without kinect) with a 120 gig hdd…the person is providing me with a pair of wireless controllers and halo reach original DVD…in exchange of my ps3 with move bundle…..The reason im interested is because here there is a hell shortage of ps3 games…You won’t believe, shift 2 arrived here just yesterday….nobody sells ps3 games in my area….not even the original ones…and frankly i avoid buying originals coz they cost a lot…..so i wanted your advice should i go for it or should i stick with the ps3……i don’t need BRD drive coz i already have one in my laptop so i can enjoy brd movies on it by hooking it to HDMI. Xbox 360 games are available over here almost at the time of their release, and you know sony keeps blocking jailbreakers and new games via firmware locks and updates.
So mate in short Xbox 360 or ps3……
Extra info: i don’t need online gaming….that xbox can play burned games…..i already have a multimedia system. I am a true GAMER!!!
If you got the tools for the 360 to mod it, then go for it.
the xbox is already modded….ok mate thanks i will just negotiate further with the dealer.

Do you need an emulator for pc games? For example: Im downloading The Sims 3 rom for pc. Do I need anything to run this rom on my computer? Please Help!
Sims 3 was made for PC. That is not a ROM.
Wether you are downloading a legit or illegit game, Either way You will need a no cd exe as you wont have the cd in your drive.
Is this your first time getting an electronic copy?!
Wow you have lots to catch up to.
You will also need a virtualization software that emulates CD rom wherein you will “Mount” these games
The steps are too big to write here, But they are easy, Gone are the days when you could simply copy paste a game into folder and it works, Although versatile does have a list of these types of games
Portable games list in his wiki page.
I have installed arkham asylum but when I began to play batmans controls dont work and I cant change control please help
Change it inside the game menu?
there is no option
Are u implying joystick or keyboard controls?
Use Pinnacle game profiler if you are using joystick , for easy 1 step control config.
If you can get your hands on free copy if that is. Otherwise use Xinput method . Versatile already did a video on xinput method
no there are no controls set for keyboard in the game and I cant change it the only controls that are given are of xbox controller

hey versatile i am new here, can u help me by telling how can i play splinter cell conviction offline in lan.
I do have a splinter cell conviction thread and video at youtube.com/gamedexterity under tunngle tutorials. Or search youtube for “splinter cell conviction gamedexterity”.
Off Topic
Splintercell conviction was My first gateway into the portal Of G.D .
Cant thank enough Tunngle for that.
Funny thing , Here we are in G.D so easily telling people about tunngle .
And i had to find out about it the hard way , thru deep hidden Russian forums or so i believe. The software itself was not in english.
Present day: Tunggle is everywhere on Youtube. Thanks to the legend that is versatile .
hello Versatile,
i’m having trouble playing Rage using LAN with the smartsteam method,
whenever i try playing online i get “the connection to steam is lost”
i think it’s a problem with steam appid being blacked-out but i’m not sure
can you please help or give me a working appid?
thanks
I don’t have a known working app id, and if I did, I am leary of posting it online for it to be banned. Ask tunngle room for newest app ids.
Hi versatile!
Team Fortress 2 is free2play, but you still need steam to play it
is there anyway to make it work without steam?
so i can play it LAN with my friends, without the need to install Steam and create Accounts, etc. ?
sry 4 bad english
thanks in advance
simon
It’s called download the steam less version of TF2.
Hi Versatile…..
there is a problem of networking with my stance…. Ur network genius …thts why i hope that u’ll find something for me..
.
Currently i am using 2 intenet connection,
1.Adsl
2.Wi-Max
.
the problem is, i need 2 use both connection at a time, and/or wi-max for my BROWSING and adsl for BITTORRENT..
.
one thing i should tell u that, when both internet are running it uses ADSL connection(i monitored wi-max), and when i just disable my dsl NIC it automaticaly start using Wi-Max…..
.
I hope u got my problem…i had hours of gooleing for this problem, but no luck
Why are you connected to two internet sources at the same time?
he probably has traffic jams on net when he torrents. so he does not want to compromise himself or others in network. So 1 Deicated torrenting , other browsing.
Anyway its fail
Not Possible
ur pc is your home. Your Adsl Is the train station and Your Wimax the Bus Station.
The NEt is the school
When you connect your pc to the first router, (adsl) your pc gets an ip assigned. and all browsers and internet programs are now told to use the train station to reach school.
Just Like You cannot cut yourself into 2 and half of you take a train station and other half bus station to reach school.
Similarly taking a saw and cutting down your pc wont be of any good .
Make up your mind, you can be connected to both networks, But the second network will not be taken into consideration unless the first network is disabled.
Internet works like this.
Your pc sends a command to the Isp, and the Isp return the answers to the querries ur pc sent.
Your pc cannot cut information into 2 and set half to go to one isp and other half to another isp.
Perhaps in future- Currently no.
Where u are getting confused:
You mistook different pcs to different network.
A network is a set of Pcs or xyz that send querries to ONE ISP or main SERVER.
u can connect o many pcs on a single network, and each pc will be assigned an internal Ip. But one pc will act as a main unit.
You cannot do the same with multiple networks, But only if both networks communicate with each other.
Therby making your effort a waste, Your Wimax and Dsl are suppose to be used seperately right :/ whats the point if both are on same network and then both are either using dsl network or only wimax network (just giving an eg:)
Split you job: Use laptop or old pc to do the downloading task, Use an external HDD, and you play or browse on the other network on a seperate pc.
Mustang is right…[
Quote:he probably has traffic jams on net when he torrents. so he does not want to compromise himself or others in network. So 1 Deicated torrenting , other browsing.

.
I think Mustang had very good research on it…It means i have to waste/spend much more time to get my desired networking..
.
Still No LUCK…thanks to all for reply..
REGARDS
keep ur downloads on utor set to half the speed of your net, Keep your upload to 1/3 the speed your isp gives
This should cause no one any inconvienience. Only You wud need to sit longer to score your ratios and get your stuffs, but its still better
If at all keeping this setting causes others inconvienience change your utor settings to lesser total number of connections. You can also use the scheduler, to schedule more speeds during night or at times when you know no body else uses net.
Wimax is a fail for torrenting, The isp will start throtling the connection as soon as you reach 120 Gb bandwidth
Also frequently flush your dns settings as well as reset your Netsh from command promt. Really helpful to those who donot get their isp speeds on torrents even if there are enough seeders, or at times helps precuver from the corruption torrent programs sometimes do to your connection.
Thank U… Mustang!
My Wi-max isp gives only 30gb for the month… LOL

Great tutorial on OpenPs2Loader .. am using v0.93 with usb drive and it works great! But the more games I add, the longer the list .. duh .. BUT.. the PS2 (77001) seems to poll the usb drive every 8 seconds which resets my cursor to the top item …. makes it REALLY hard to scroll down and find games …. is this normal ?? .. thanks ..
I guess so? I don’t use v.93 so no comment.
My bad … its v0.8 … so, what version do you use that doesnt have this problem?
