    Microsoft thinks I'm in the US.


    I tried buying a game on MS, when I went to the checkout, it showed me that I live in the US, which would not let me buy the game normally. I tried changing the region and stuff like that, but it was all New Zealand, where I am right now. Waiting for you people's responses.

  2. I'm thinking of building a PC and need some feedback

    Then I suggest the build I already list as a sample. If you prefer a Intel chipset over a nvidia chipset, the get the Asus P5Q Pro Shadowford listed(it's a few dollars cheaper than the 750FTW board)

    Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


    If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
    Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
    1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

    2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

    3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

    4. Click OK.

    5. Restart for the changes to finish.

    Pentium M

    Not sure what I'm looking at. Though when I do go to Options and then CPU it lists my CPU
    as Intel Pentium M processor 1.73 GHz, and then under that it lists speed: 799.9 MHz
    and then features and cache size.I ran the benchmark test and don't understand all
    those numbers, but while testing I checked CPUZ and it still says it is running at 800 MHz.
