When I lived in the Poconos is was so loving cold and I hated it.

15F on a good day.

Now I live in tropical Maryland.

Where in the Poconos did you live? Because right now its loving freezing out. Last year it was so mild it was actually almost bearable.

still occurs less than in citiesxl, I usually solve it by just PLACING ROADS INSTEAD OF STREETS MUAHAHAHA but people keep whining about too many cars and how they loved streets

I disagree, in citiesxl mass transit solves the traffic. In sim city 4 I build a super duper transit network and its barely used.

On some days its 29 degree's outside and on the inside of my place its like 35-40 degree's (F)
Then I go outside to wait for the bus in the freezing cold, the bus gets there and the bus is like 30 degree's.

I don't want to hear about coldness, it gets really loving cold here :c

Alyx Vance yet again has the toughest life in the world.  The 20s are pretty common for winter in the north east and im pretty sure its a lot worse in the midwest

I like Sim City 4 a lot but I always end up having a huge traffic problem by the time my city is huge

Ah of course, you are totally right-- silly me. Its just the VGA because its brown townogue?

I imagine so, though to to go from dvi or hdmi to display port you need an active adapter.

I know that HDMI to VGA requires a cable AND some kind of additional box that is sold separately, that splits the signal or something like that. Probably the same for micro HDMI, not sure.

Also it won't support sound.

You can go from hdmi to dvi with just a small adapater, I don't think you need an active adapter since both signals are digital

It was just an all ages concert because nobody was serving alcohol and the venue had no age restriction. But seriously what did you expect from that kind of concert?

Atheist you mean?

I'm agnostic.

Atheism isn't a religion, atheism is a religious preference though

I didn't want to use the word "drugs" in the title.

So how does PCP make any sense.

Pretty sure the 670 is cheaper than the 580, takes less energy, and produces less heat. It's probably the best bang for your buck right now.thats cool but until you use S3 video you don't know stuffty video controllers

670 is also about the same if not a little bit better in benchmarks.

If you want to run that on max you're going to need an i7, a good amount of ram and a pretty good graphics card. I would recommend a card like the radeon 7870 if you want to run it flawlessly with a high 3D resolution (makes the game look very sharp).

im pretty sure a 2500 would be enough

gtx 670 is the best forever

It really is, it's pretty much a 680. I'm so happy I purchased it

Really? I have pretty good faith in the H80 - I helped my friend install it into his system and it's been working really well.

They're not bad but they're not better than top of the line air coolers at least in my experience.  Also the H80 without the cable that lowered the speed with default fans was almost unbearably loud.
