Is that thermal paste easy to apply ? Anything i should be careful about ?

Cheers Darren. I have 1gb of ram on order so will try the onboard VGA and see how it goes. Crazy what you can get for the money now!

I think the major issue for Sony is online. The PS3 can be the dogs danglies but if they cant get a real brand like 'xbox live' off the ground they are in the sh*t.

Ive heard them dual cores can get seriously hot. Is that only when they are being pushed with games and intensive programs ? Will i be ok with what i have there for cooling ?

Ive got a cheap Geforce 4 128mb one from my old machine, prob + DVD Writer + Monitor etc.. etc..

Microsoft = :rasp: Sony = :cry: They certainly have some catching up to do in ALL departments.

Not sure mate, not got a card reader/writer. The write speed to the n80 is pretty poor USB 1 speeds i think. All i was bothered about was getting a card that worked. Lots around that people have been having problems with. Have a look here if you havent already (N73 forum) ...

There are a few bits that look like they might be 'in game' but in general looking very smart ... Think PGR3 have done well to raise the bar so high with the first attempt. This means every other racing game has to have their sh*t together to make sales...

Yep, came with an adpater and a smart hard travel case that will hold 8 sd cards (think that was a free gift though)

I bought the mymemory one, has been spot on in my n80. Took about 5 days for del though.

Just tried a different router at home and im getting .. Line attenuation: 44db Noise Margin: 7db previously it was 53db and 5.8db Is that better or worse? what are the ideal figures ?

^ Some parts on veteran are ridiculous .... nearly pulled my hair out on that f*kin Tank bit early on !! Suprised the controller stayed in one piece !

I've still been using my old ntl broadband (runs out in a couple of weeks but dont have any limits) but im going to try the following on the new 8mb line ... 1. Connect the router directly into the master BT socket. 2. Put any BT phones in the house on an ADSL filter adapter. 3. Leave it...

^ First guy told me to send the unit + hard drive. Took me ages to get to level 8 on COD2 on veteran :( (I aint doin it again thats for sure! lol) Roll on COD3 !

I'm 2.3km from the exchange (thought it was a lot more!) Great site .. http://www.dslzoneuk.net/checker.php?

Well its back! :D .. and its a brand new one :D - mfg date 01-Jun-2006 (old one was Oct-2005) .. but they dont ghost the drive or copy anything over so EVERYTHING has gone (all saved games, all downloads etc..) :dapprove: .. seems a lot quieter aswell :D I assume my warranty will...

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm Not fantastic but a couple of decent games in there.

Mine took a week but upto now its been 100% so im happy. I had a dodgy sandisk from ebay which worked fine in my digi camera but not in the phone. The phone DID NOT LIKE IT at all, luckily i got my money back though.

Microsoft Visio ? (I use it for network diagramming, not to sure it will do what your after ?)

^Work away a lot so i requested the code for use abroad. 20 quid charge.

Do you think im better to update the firmware first then use the unlock code for the first time ?

Just got my unlock code through from orange for my n80. However, i want to upgrade the firmware soonish. If i unlock my phone, will the firmware lock it back up ? If so, can i just use the code again to unlock it ??

^This popped in my head last night while in bed. The socket im using must be the furthest away from the master in the house. I think there are 8 BT sockets in the house, basically every room. I think that might be the problem.

Basically ive got a very good 2mb line which is the best i can hope for without cable(ntl). I think the most anyone has seen from an 8mb line is around 7.0-7.1 i believe.

Noise margin (dB) : 5.8 Attenuation (dB) : 53.0 Attainable download rate (kbps) : 2656

Im managing a mighty impressive 250 k/s on average :S Think that equates to about 2mb roughly. I know im a fair distance from the exchange (approx 3 mile) but that is kak ! Best speed upto now was 320 k/s (2.5mb ish)

joke really .. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=66817 microsoft couldnt have hoped for anything better

Im going to wait for the n80 to be added here .. hopefully soon .. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=162631 (see nokia link)

no mate, the mymemory one. about 30 delivered. seems you were right about them working. cheers for the heads up! just in the process of whapping 40 albums on it :), aint got a card reader though so its slow as sh*t :(
