    That just doesnt look right... the drivers for your operation system control your devices like the printer, keyboard, LAN card, USB ports, and so on. I think you mean a Patch, you wouldnt need a specific driver to use a weapon in a game >.> Patches allow broken games to be all better though.

      It was part of the storyline lol, you piloted a mech and you attained new weapons by finding the drivers to unlock them in the game.

        You would if you needed a specific driver so the game didn't crash when you used the weapon.
        I use a Mac because I'm just better than you are.

            You. Go to a fucking used games store, find a copy of Zone of the Enders, dig a PS2 out of your entertainment center/closet/garage/friends, put the disk in, and fucking play it.

              ... Or you could always just buy a Mac

              My Macbook runs XP just fine, and with the duo-core processor and the seperate Graphics card FFXI runs very well on it - now If I can just figure out how to get mobile broadband, I'll be playing everywhere.....

              And of course there is the inherent Mac sexiness......

                The MacBook has an integrated Intel 950 or later models the 965. MacBook Pros have separate GeForce graphics.

                  If you're looking for a 'decent' laptop, a Mac is probably $300-400 more than you're looking to spend.

                      You still don't know what he's talking about.

                      Go to a used games store and buy Zone of the Enders.

                        I did end up looking at some of the Dell XPS models and found one that I liked, so I guess I have kind of an odd question...has anyone tried for their financing or something similar like a Best Buy card? While I could afford $1-200/month payments, dropping $2k all at once is a bit out of range, and my credit is improving but still really fucked up from when I hit bad unemployment streak. Anyone have good/bad experiences w/ trying to get a new computer financed?

                            You can apply for both online and avoid any in person embarassment. I will say that Best Buy is quite picky but Dell seems to be more lax. I know someone that filed for bankruptcy 8+ years ago but they still denied them over and over. Everywhere else they went they didn't have any problems.

                              Callisto, computers (even laptops) can be got very cheap. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I can almost promise you that whatever you want to do on that 2k laptop can be done for half the price. And that 2k computer will drop in value much faster than the cheaper one.
