Re: What have you just bought?
 

The last thing I bought was Wolfenstein: The New Order. Pretty good game, but I'd have been a little annoyed to pay full price for it. Steam had a 1 day only half price offer last Sunday.

As a game, it's quite interesting, but hasn't caught my imagination as much as (say) Watch Dogs or GTA 5 did.

As for what I am going to buy.. For a few months now, my PC has been getting increasingly unreliable. Every so often, Explorer would crash, or the PC would refuse to start , beeping out a memory error.

TBH, I've been putting this off, but I think tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to solve the problem. I'm going to start by buying new RAM, give that a couple of weeks to see if it cures the problem.

I am not sure it will. I currently have 12 gig of ram made up of 2 x 2 gig DIMMS and 2 x 4 gig DIMMS. When the error occurs, it can occur with ANY combination of those DIMMS, so I think it's actually a faulty motherboard. The reason I am checking memory first is that it's cheaper, slightly faster than my existing memory and a I should be able to use the new memory if I should replace the motherboard.

CDkeys.com. Their prices are a bit erratic to say the least, but a quick search usually finds the best offer of the day. And the code arrives by email within minutes.

I bought Footy Manager 2014 last weekend from Steam for £8

It usually takes them nearly a year to fix the match engine that they seem to break with every new version so it's win-win all round.

I did buy the RAM, and it didn't solve the problem.. Oh well, at least I have some shiny new RAM to go in the new motherboard I'm going to have to buy.
