I read a lot of reviews and they dont all benchmark games the same, so I wanted to start a thread about what games to benchmark, which benchmarks to run, what settings, etc. I downloaded the ones from http://www.hocbench.com for Quake4, FarCry, Serious Sam II and HL2.

USB 3.0 start to appear, sort of "USB 3.0 hasn't yet been fully completed but it's implementation could come more quickly than its predecessor's did. Vendors are already starting to prepare their computer hardware for the new bus standard. Today, for example, we saw an upcoming Asus notebook with a pair of USB 3.0 ports. Well, sort of.

Anyone else playing this on the PC? I ran across a nice bug in the game, when you change graphic settings or update your drivers, sometimes it wipes out your save points. Looked around on the web and this seems to be a real big issue. Game is killer though and I was 1/2 way through SP. Sucks! Also the Co-Op on this game looks like with would kick ass...
