As long as it gets there fine in the first place with a cheap cable which over short distance most of us use is fine for cheap cables. A more expensive one will make sod all difference. I kind of said that just not very well. If you have no pixelation on a cheap £5 cable a £100+ cable is going...

With regard to more expensive cables. That only applies in analogue systems. Not digital ones. It transmits 0's and 1's as long as they get to the decoder a more expensive cable is not going to get them there better. It will be exactly the same. Check pretty much any AV forum and they will say...

What about the sigma 70 - 300mm F4 - 5.6 Can be had in 2 versions cheapest is under £100. More expensive is under £140 http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod219.html http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod220.html

As good as the car is. I can't help but find it rather ugly. I dont know why but it reminds me of johnny 5 crossed with a klingon catfish. Well from the front anyway.

Getting thumbs is a bit iffy some of mine show others dont. I just use the new FFDshow tryouts. And get other codecs as needed.

Go with the quad core and overclock it. They are hitting 3.2 - 3.6ghz on air with ease. And I have found game utilize them fully. UT3 puts mine at 100% usage. As do a few other games. Multithreaded apps are here now so get something to fully utilize them. In a few more months dual cores will be...

Scan have a few at £60 ish for 4GB. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Products.asp?CatID=22&Category=Memory&ThumbNails=Yes&FilterKeywords=&FilterMinPrice=&FilterMaxPrice=&FilterCategories=329&OrderBy=1

Driver releases in vista 64 are virtually identical to 32bit as well.

Ok the car is not a Clio but there are more people on here with mechanical know how it seems than the C4 forum so it's getting put up here as well as there. Anyway complete back story etc. Got my car back from the dealers the other day after getting CV boot replaced and a couple other bits and...

Centrifugal chargers don't normally whine much once you are moving. So will have very little noise. Its the roots and some twin screws that whine loads and typically only at the top of the RPM range. And anyway supercharger whine is a great sound. But mostly gone with newer chargers.

Was on scan.co.uk earlier as I wanted a new DVD burner. Noticed they now have multiformat bluray writers for £170. Will playback HD DVD as well. They are getting cheaper quickly it seems.

I am still deciding between this and the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Price as long as it is under £300 isn't as issue. I just can't decide part of me tell me to go Sigma though as I think the 30mm focal range might be better for indoors compared to the 50mm.

Reset the comp. And press F8 when it is loading after the bios is finished buggering about and keep pressing it. A screen will appear with a few new options one is something like disable driver signing or something like that. Pick that and TAT may run in Vista 64. But you have to do that each...

Isn't yours a dual core? They run a fair bit cooler than the quads.

Dont even need the camera software. Right click on picture before opening it and select properties and then details tab will give you all the info you need.

The included stuff is usually naff. Just changing to AS5 can drop up to 5c off the temps. In answer to the question no 70c in coretemp is not that bad for an overclocked quad core. Most of them get higher than that at load on the stock cooler. However it should be lower. Reseat the heatsink and...

Shelby GT blows! Its basically just some exterior dress up bits and a few extra HP from an induction kit. Thats it. But you pay a large chunk more for it. You just pay for the badge on the Shelby its a pretty shitty car to be fair. Bit unfair to compare the STi subaru's top end car with a $27k...

Just highlights perfectly why I dislike modern Porsches. And when they get modded they all look the exact sodding same. If you have seen one White Porsche with a new bodykit you have seen them all. Half of them I wouldn't be able to tell if they were driving forward or in reverse. For the love...

Not sure if this has been answered here didnt see it. On some of them the IS means image stabilization so less chance of a blurry shot basically.

I have the XDA Exec its bulky but fine to use. And interface is fast. And if your a real geek you can install linux on them now and retain all the functions so then you can even say it has a similar OS to the Iphone if not better....I just couldn't be arsed with that crap factory reset and get...

What you have to remember is while the bandwidth (MHZ) are increase the latency is too. There is virtually no real speed increase. The only reason for getting good memory is overclocking headroom thats why they typically sell at a higher price for the enthusiast market. Even the very very high...

On the otherhand we can claim that every good American car is in fact only good because the Brits were involved in the design of all of them.

If you want SLI nvidia boards are your only option right now. So 680i or 780i. What is wrong with your 780i that it is not working more information would be good that way we could maybe help you out getting it sorted.

I use a sigma 17 - 70mm as my main lens. Found it to be quite good.

As said get the PS3, It upscales standard DVD's and will play bluray which is seeming more and more likely to be the main format with HD DVD on the way down the pan. And HD ready is still HD and with a TV under 50 inches you would likely not be able to tell the difference between 720P and 1080P...

The 4gb memory limit is not a motherboard problem it is the limit with using 32bit systems. They can only address 4gb of total memory including graphics cards, bios, soundcard etc. Change to a 64bit version and 4gb+ is fine. Probably has v sync enabled. Try it in a more demanding game that can...

ASUS boards are known for giving very odd temp results which are usually very different to the true reading. Use coretemp as my ASUS board reports 8C difference. Reporting a cooler CPU than it actually is. If yours is anything like that 70c with that cooler especially is very very high. My...

You may not have the heatsink seated properly they are really sensitive to it on the intel cpu's. Also possibility of un even surface on heatsink / CPU causing higher temps take the heatsink off again and have a look if the AS5 is grouped in 1 area chances are it was badly seated might have to...

I saw a review the other day 8800GTX versus 2 x HD3870's in crossfire. Believe it or not in most of the new games the single GTX is actually only a couple FPS behind beoth the 3870's. On their own no match for the GTX. Ultra is faster than them all.
