I've been tearing it up on Mortal Kombat for PS3. I am excited to get Kenshi next week. I have a question. How do I master the Divotion time thing for each character? I'm trying to get the trophey for My Kung Fu is Stronger. Can someone on here please help me out? Thanks guys.

I can't wait to play Skyrim either. I have an offer to any female gamer on this site who owns a PS3. I am looking for some new PSN friends who are female who also like metal music. So, if there are any female PSN gamers out there, feel free to add and message me on there. My tag is mkadragonslayer

Is anyone else waiting for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? Ive just watched a demo on youtube, and it looks amazing.
I just hope they wont continue the tradition of reducing the world size in every new game.

Yeah, you can install most flavors of Linux on a PS3 with that firmware. DON'T upgrade if you ever want to give it a shot. Sony disabled the function with firmware 3.21.
A bit complicated but I'd give Yellow Dog Linux a shot. Save yourself a headache and burn an iso to CD/DVD instead of downloading and compiling the kernel itself. All info is here:
i own a ps3 that still has firmware 3.15 and the 'install otherOS' feature. does anybody know anything about this? i know it can somehow run linux.

I held a parade here. I even videotaped it, but someone stole the camera before I could upload it. I had a sign that said JP.com welcomes strat home. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Tuesday, February 23, 2010 12:18:07 PM)

Hey, Strat. Good to see you.
Not heavy into games, you can get away with all you describe. You didn't name the motherboard and, as a general rule, more RAM is always better. 4 GB looks good. Can you expand if you needed more? THAT is where I would be looking. You are really fine if you just want to run daily apps, though. No worries there.
HD is always the least of worries. External USB or Firewire drives more than make up for smaller harddrives. If not into gaming, you COULD get away with a lesser video card. While I have a couple of ATI cards upstairs and in my office computer (and one at my feet!), I still prefer GeForce cards. Then again, I am a PC gamer. Again, more memory on the card is always a + but not necessary if you are just running basic apps.
Good build, says I. Nice to see you again.

Now, Im not sure if this is the right thread, but it seems to be roughly it, so heres my question to anyone that is up to date with computerish things:
Im buying a new computer. Ive been looking around a bit, and Ive got a few questions. First: the RAM. The best Ive found so far (in a pre-assembled computer) is 4GB. Is that a lot, or would 3 or 2 be enough for a computer that will probably be used for work first, and not too demanding games second?
Second, the graphics card. The package that Ive been looking at comes with an ATI HD4870 512MB GDDR5 - now, is that ok, not enough, or just right for what I described above? (If its too much then Im definately looking for something cheaper - half the price seems to be the graphics card)
The hard drive is 750GB, which to me (Ive had this same computer for many, MANY years now) seems like Sci-Fi. Personaly Id be content with half as much, tho Im not sure how that goes today.
Thanks for the answers!

Sure does help!
I guess I will look around a bit more, but then again, yeah, the price is great, leaves me enough to go wild with the monitor, and get a decent printer as well... So thanks again!
That is actually the "chip." The motherboard is where you plug in the chip / RAM, etc.
In any case, you are looking good there, bro. That Intel chip leads me to believe that you are maxed out at 4GB on the motherboard. If the price is right, you'll be happy. Go for it.
Hope this helps.
