Q. Yo J.D……so my hoss of a Dell laptop (the one with a 20″ screen) seems to have bit it again…It was left unplugged for a couple of days and I think that internal battery was drained.

Setup -> Playable -> Optimal diablo 3 – What are the precise differences between “playable” and “optimal”? – Arqadehttp://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/63323/what-are-the-precise-differences-between-playable-and-optimalWhen you download the Diablo 3 client there’s a “playable” stage and an “optimal” completion.
