A keyboard can still become "unplugged" from a laptop if the drivers for it dont load during kernel initialization. If your keyboard and mouse still work outside of the game, then it means that somehow your input devices became unbound to the game, which since games store info even when you...

For actual speakers I have a 5.1 Logitech surround sound set with a downfiring subwoofer. Headphones I have the Turtle Beach Ear Force AK-R8 7.1 headphones

Avast Home Edition

Let me guess, Internet America? I live in South Texas also. And that's what I have. The problem with the wireless antenna on your roof is that if it is not pointing directly at their antenna or if theres something obstructing its view, you will not receive a signal properly. If that isn't the...

Yes it would, I hope to try that someday. IRT Lance: Good luck and don't be afraid to post here for anymore help.

Possible Explanations: You have Windows firewall on (sometimes it turns itself back on) Your ports are not open (in this case just google what ports CoD uses and forward them on your router or firewall) CoD just isn't pinging the server correctly (in this case I would just repatch it)

Most likely your IP address has expired or is not being automatically assigned properly. Check your IP settings in the router.

I'll jump on the bandwagon, I'm in

Havent played in a while but I have 3 decent level Prophecies chars. I could definitely get back into it if there was an eGO clan

While your rig may be the most important part, audio can make or break a gaming experience. So what kind of audio systems does everyone use? Personally, I use a Logitech X-540 5.1 Surround Sound http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121006 Great system, can penetrate walls...

Wouldn't we all XD

Yea, but that requires him to run it within Window's in a way, which defeats the purpose. Anyway, congrats Smoochee, welcome to the Linux community. I think you would have had a better experience with Ubuntu, but Mint is a great choice. On the issue of drivers, you will not be required to...

Nvidia, tends to perform better and also it is more out of the box compatible with Linux

With your specs, the only issue you will have will be with the hard drive. A computer is only as fast as the slowest hardware. You will need at least a 7200 to take full advantage of those specs, or even a variable speed drive that uses 5400 RPM but then switches to 7200 RPM under highload...

Yes, it is a variable speed drive, which in concept is great. However, what it means by a variable speed is that it will switch when under highload, this means that most of the load will fall on the drive at 5400 rpm. Now if it used 7200 for the lowest load, that would be great.
