    Hi guys, finally got round to playing bf3, but I find as soon as I load it up my headset starts to buzz.

    What does 1080p mean? I know the definition is 1080 horizontal lines or something to that effect, but how does that actually work? For example, how can my 15.6" laptop, my 24" monitor, my 32" TV and my brothers 42" TV all have the same resolution and look as clear as each other? I know it's a...

    PCSPECIALIST Ssd

    Which of the SSD lines on the PCS website is best? The Hyper X has the biggest numbers, which I would assume makes it the best, however it is cheaper than the others? Also, other people on the forums seem to recommend the intel lines. Thanks
