    Do you have to be 17 for M games?

    I'm pretty sure the ban failed so you should be good. As for agreeing, I starting playing Halo 1 at 9 and so far I'm not fucked up.

    Will Skyrim run on my PC? What settings will it work on?

    You can buy a beefy GPU for $200. A ATi 6870 runs under $200 and plays most new games maxed out at 1080p. You have to make sure you have enough power though. What's the supply and have you got 2 6-pin power plugs?

    You are armed with the lowest weapon of the last game you played on each platform

    I'm apparently armed with a Golf GTI... *giggles evilly* (Firemint RR2)

    Will Skyrim run on my PC? What settings will it work on?

    Eh, Medium would already be pushing it on that card. The CPU is fine but your card is already 3 generations old, and it was a lower-middle class card when it was new. Depends what you mean, speeding it up 'as a whole'. A new GPU would definitely help your gaming FPS.

    Computer Upgrade Help

    Don't buy that 5450... If you must, get the 5570, But I'd go for at least a 5750 if you can.

    Longest game time This Gen!

    300 Hours of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Had to do everything alone though, stupid inability to connect different versions. Hunt 2 G-rank Diablos solo? No thanks.

    Steam - the resource hog

    Then I've no idea. Contact steam support like the other guy suggested.

    Overall laptop

    Toshiba gaming netbook for $400?! Link please. OT: have a look around Newegg. They've usually got good deals.

    Steam - the resource hog

    Have you tried deleting Steam.dll and Clientregistry.blob? Allowing steam to re-download these files fixes a lot of problems. Solved the "preparing to Launch" thing for me.

    Help needed to upgrade PC

    What's your powersupply and do you have a PCI X16 slot? Your PC itself is fine, but the graphics card is worse than week old shit. If you can tell me if you have a slot and your wattage, I'd be glad to help.

    Is the difference between the Geforce GT540 and GT525 big/noticeably big?

    The difference is minimal, I found some benchmarks that include SC2: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-540M.41715.0.html http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-525M.43889.0.html Either way, you should be able to play it fine.

    Can my power supply run this?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129146 <--- That would already be a huge improvement over what you have over there. The power draw should still be good.
