[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="9" id="3401858"]Switched her to MSE as did I on XP. The speed gained was significant. Give it a try, Terry.[/quote] Not my experience at all. In fact precisely the reverse. MSE slows everything down on XP compared to Avast. On my Win7 machines, it's not noticeable, I think because they have better hardware.

Reply to "new" iPhones in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

Actually it managed to copy modern look of Windows while being not as impersonal. [/quote]</p

Reply to Galactic Civilizations is not Master of Orion in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="Draginol" reply="24" id="834355"]Moreover, we don't want GalCiv II to be that much like MOO because it is a different kind of game. It is not a tactical-oriented game.

Reply to The most difficult game... in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

The original Panzer General. I could never beat the whole game. Also Hearts of Iron. I've played EU3. But, for the life of me, I couldn't seem to understand, much less get into Hearts of Iron. I think maybe I wanted it to be turn based or something...
