I'll look into prices anyway, I'm sure I'll have many options

One more thing though, I've seen different sized pci-e slots so how do i know what size mine are? And will it affect my choice of card

Can you get different sized cards?? I'm not great with all the small technical details haha i really need to get upto scratch with that

Most PCI - E cards are the same size but they can have different speeds. For instance, the first slot can be X16 and the second slot X8. But as far as I know, they are mostly the same size, just different speeds. Below most comps with PCI - E slots you also have PCI slots themselves which are used for lesser graphics cards and sound cards and other options. That probably explains what you are seeing when you look at your motherboard, or others.

Fifa 10 demo is out, and, well, goodbye PES. Goodnight. Was nice knowing you. Stunning. Easy the most realistic and best football sim ever created.

Have you tried playing on the different slow/default/etc speeds?  If so which do you find is best?

Still have a week :(

The slow setting is by far the best. In fact, I think EA should slow it down even more to give it more depth, because the space and time you're afforded on the ball is so realistic. Also, it's just a tad too quick for the fact that your fullbacks can be caught out in the same way in 09 with a couple of passes or one through ball. Still, this game is a world apart from 09. I didn't stop playing it yesterday, and the skill and 360 dribbling will take at least a few weeks to fully get to grips with. It's amazing how you can beat players in this.

Some people just won't give another title a chance beeing set in their ways for too long. Also, Fifa's past rep is to blame for that, but this game is so much more rewarding than PES ever was now. Doesn't really matter, because if it wasn't for PES, we wouldn't have Fifa 10. Competition is good in the games industry, but what people choose to buy is their business. I really don't care so long as I know whats what. However, as a contest between which is the more realistic, then it's just silly to argue. For example, I hit a shot in the demo yesterday from outside the box, and one of my players ducked out of the way of it as it rifled into the top corner. I've never seen anything like that in a game before.

Once you figure it out, it opens up a whole new world. You can walk the ball up to defenders and wait for the to move, then hold down both triggers to go into skill dribble, shift the stick one way, then quickly the other and send the defender in the wrong direction then bomb on past him. It's amazing when you pull it off. Works best down the wings. Go into skill dribble, then press the left bumber to face the box and hold in the direction you want to tip-toe in. It's amazing doing this with Henry or Messi to cut inside and curl one towards the top corner. Henry's trademark in fact.

You think it's exactly the same as 09? I've heard one or two of the houdreds of views on the demo saying they thought it was the same, only for that ridiculous opinion to be shot down. There are no real similarities to this demo to Fifa 09. None! Every single aspect of 10 is a major improvement over 09. Everything is tighter, more responisve and intuitive. You can now skin defenders with skill and cunning, shoot thunderbolt strikes from over 30 yards without in ballooning over the bar, player physicallity is a major difference, and players make more intelligent movement on and off the ball. The 360 movement is far more fluid and you can feel this instantly. Go play a game of 09 after playing the demo for a while and you'll see and feel these differences. The differences is night and day and there isn't even a debate about it. It's just a fact.

I cant get into footy games..I wish I could!
I need a game that keeps me interested,football games are monotonous to me.
A mate of mine sits and plays FIFA for hours on end..hes so good now he spanks everyone he plays,that would be boring to me!

I love playing a game,getting past a level and the excitement of whats coming next!

The new batman game is a fuc'king masterpiece....it even says it on the cover and they aint kidding! :D
