  • BF3, even when servers are not full I get put into a queue, which usually consists of about 7-10 people?

    Even on not full servers I get put in a long queue, this has happened for all of the servers that I've tried.

    Is It because I'm not a premium member?

  • Macbook pro wont boot windows or OSX?

    My 2011 15' MBp wont boot either OS.

    I had a similar problem before and the HDD had failed so was replaced, however this time, before it stopped booting alltogether, there were simptoms that indicated RAM failure.

    This has happened 3 or 4 weeks after it was last repared, where do I stand on getting a refund, concidering it must be some sort of motherboard failure? And is there anything i can do to fix it?

  • Converse colour for deep blue jeans?

    I'm looking to get some converses (the above ankle ones, original style), I wear deep blue jeans all the time, cos I'm boring like that. The jeans are GAP loose fit, royal blue but a bit darker, with a bit of fade in places.

    My initial thought was dark blue converses, but I thought that maybe blue and blue would look silly, I'm a guy so have no concept of this sort of thing.

    thanks for your help

    P.S.

    I'm sure there are many guys with a concept of colour mixes and the like :P

  • apple mac refund under warranty?

    my macbook pro has become so very sluggish and has got worse since installing windows , which I really need.

    It's been a while since purchase but I have a 3 year warrenty (still in first year) and I want a refund so I can buy a better PC for half the money, is there any way of getting a refund? as I said the mac has become nearly unusable.

    I've asked apple support guys and they just keep saying about going to an apple store and getting it repaired. is there a loophole which allows me to get a refund for my £1,500 ripoff?

  • How can I give my GPU some of my RAMs memory?

    I'm using windows 7.

    ATI 6490m 256mb (dedicated memory I think)

    I have 4gb of RAM (I'm thinking of upgrading to 8 though) and would like to increase my GPUs memory to 1 GB or 500mb, I hear it's possible to take RAM and give it to the GPU if they have shared memory, how can I do this on windows 7?

    thanks in advance, my GPU is bottlenecking my quad core i7 :P

  • how do I download OSX lion to create an install disc for free (this is legal BTW)?

    I'm having problems with my startup HD and I need an OSX lion install disc, I hear that it's possible with the mac app store download, HOWEVER my mac came with OSX lion pre-installed and the m-app store wants me to pay £21 to download it (despite already owning it).

    how can I get round this without resorting to pirated software (pirated OSs never work and their too risky)

  • mac HD decreased in size after unistalling windows?

    I had a 500GB HD, and partitioned it for windows. windows screwed up (as was to be expected :\ ) and I had to unistall it.

    I gave bootcamp 180GB of my HD, now after uninstalling windows that 180GB has just gone *poof*

    my HD is now only 319.2GB according to both disk utility and bootcamp. how do I get back this 180GB without shouting at apple and waving my 3 year warranty in their face? this is annoying since I payed extra to have 500gb not 320gb :P

  • IOS style music app for android?

    I've just got a nice android (my iphone 3g was becoming unusable), but i dont like the music app, iOS seemed to have the perfect music player for me.

    Is there a music player that is identical to iOS's?

    Also, most of my artist names come up as "unknown". I copied them from my itunes folders.

  • my macbook pro's system CPU usage has increased largely.?

    This may not sound like much, but my macbook pro's system CPU usage has increased to about 13% on average, this is Very High considering my total CPU usage use to be around 1-2% (I have a quad core i7)

    this increase happened at the same time that my bootcamp windows 7 was installed. What do you think? I'm worried because I get the occasional freezing which never happened before.

  • I like to fiddle with things, any suggestions?

    I've bitten my nails for most of my life, I'm 17 now and they arn't very nice. I've managed to prevent myself biting them with reasonable success, however if I'm on my laptop I often end up biting them without realising.

    I enjoy fiddling with things, I keep a zippo in the pocket of my overcoat and I open and close it in my hand. Do you know of any cheap (doesn't have to be dirt cheap) toys, gadgets, things that I can fiddle with? I'm tempted to get a gyroscope but it takes time to wind up.

    P.S.

    I don't care if I look immature cos I'm playing with a toy :P

  • will sims 3 work on mac?

    I have sims 3 on my mac, I installed it from a friend's disc.

    There is a steam sale on with Sims 3 at £10 with expansions also cheap. I fancy buying the game to support the developer and get the late night expansion.

    however, the steam version only supports windows apparently, however it says this in the disclaimer...

    INTERNET CONNECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY THE SIMS 3 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD PRODUCT. ACCESS TO ONLINE SERVICES REQUIRES AN INTERNET CONNECTION, EA ACCOUNT AND GAME REGISTRATION WITH THE PROVIDED ONE-TIME USE SERIAL CODE. REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO ONE EA ACCOUNT PER SERIAL CODE AND IS NON-TRANSFERABLE. EA ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF SERVICE CAN BE FOUND AT www.ea.com. YOU MUST BE 13+ TO REGISTER FOR AN EA ACCOUNT. MAC USERS MUST UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION OF THE SIMS 3 LAUNCHER TO ACCESS ONLINE SERVICES, INCLUDING SIMPOINTS AND DOWNLOADS. INCLUDES SOFTWARE THAT COLLECTS DATA ONLINE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE AND ACTIVATE IN-GAME ADVERTISING FOR ALL THE SIMS 3 PRODUCTS PREVIOUSLY OR HEREAFTER INSTALLED.

    it mentions mac.

    will it work with OSX?

    if not, will I be able to use my serial key from purchasing the game to use on my cracked version and then install a cracked version of late night and use that key when I buy it?

    i.e. are there any work arounds?

  • Building my own gaming rig.?

    I've got a nice MacBook Pro that can run games rather well, however the dual operating systems is slowing it down... "This is a great opportunity to finally make my own computer" me thoughts.\

    So I've got a budget of Around £1000, tad more is fine, tad less is great.

    I've put in a decent spec into PCSPECIALIST.co.uk:

    Dual 1GB GTX 550 (more is always better)

    second gen i7 quad core 3.4 GHz (8mb cache, although I don't know what CPU cache is)

    It came out at £1,180 so If I buy the components myself it should be cheaper, and I get to build it.

    what sort of power am I looking at needing? I put in 600W as I was unsure, although this does seem a lot.

    the case is a "NZXT PHANTOM 410 WHITE GAMING CASE" it looked cool and had a lot of space.

    what cooling systems will I need and how many fans (I hear liquid cooling is less dust prone?) will I need?

    basically I am reasonably knowledgeable about standard computing stuff, i.e I could pick a decent off the shelf spec for myself, however other stuff such as motherboards (help please, I have no bloody clue) I'm not sure.

    Please give me suggestions, improvements and help me with cooling and motherboard. (I've used ATI more than NVidia, is the GTX 550 good enough?)

    PS

    I play BF3 and would love to run it on high.

  • Windows 7 performance has decreased suddenly?

    My Macbook pro has experienced a really sudden, and extreme, decline in performance whilst using windows 7 via Bootcamp.

    BF3 used to run at about 50 FPS on full resolution, now it has suddenly become laggy and the frame rate has droped to about 20 FPS on a much lower resolution (despite having a ping of about 30).

    please help. Windows has run fine for about 5 months untill now. (As I said the Decline was REALLY sudden, it declined between 2 Battlefield games.)

    thanks in advance for your help.
