What's this like?
As far as I understand linux doesn't support direct x so games have to use open gl and this can cause a decrease in performance.(?)
Does anyone play demanding games e.g. FEAR on a linux distribution and if so do you have any problems?
If i was going wireless I'd be tempted to try this. Can't really go wrong for £11, if it's s**t just bin it. The customer reviews seem pretty good.

Whip it off and clean it out with carb cleaner or WD40.
Had this same problem (cutting out when hot slowing or stopping) on both my old Astra and other halfs Omega, Both times it just needed the ICV cleaning. Had it recently on my megane too but that only did it when cold - again cleaning the...
Norton simply misses loads of viruses. I used norton for years. Out of curiosity I tried an online scan and it found a number of viruses.
You don't need a firewall if you have a router with NAT btw
you mean the starter noise? The battery doesn't actually make any noise.
You say a few seconds so I assume it dies off and does nothing? Battery would be my fist port of call to be honest.
Not sure why but my netgear one used to play up. If it wouldn't work in IE then it would in Firefox and vice versa. Failing that try the reset button on the router.

My parents had the same problem at their place and did give up and wire the whole house with cat5
I had panda but now and again it would use 99% cpu usage (not much fun when trying to play FEAR). I tried to use panda support but it kept refusing the username/password they gave me so I fucked it off for AVG.
anything is better than norton ;)
Direct download link for AVG (free) http://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free/setup/avg71free_371a669.exe
free version of AVG is probably all you will need. Can't hurt to run an online virus scan now and again though. MS do one now...
PSU's are plug and play mate, unplug all connectors, unscrew from case. Put new one in - screw and reconnect. The connectors only fit one way, you can't accidently connect it wrong and blow your mobo :)
A 6600GT would still require a new PSU. 250watt is very low mate.
or if you can't wait then pop into your local pc shop or pc world and pick one up. They will be more expensive but you don't have to wait days for a delivery. I got a 450watt Jeantech from pcworld for £39.99. I ordered a 550watt from Ebuyer which was supposed to be delivered (express) on...
got it working but you have to have a rather annoying pop-up style window open at the time (to get around the beta login only)
Not sure it's worth bothering with the beta, seems pretty much the same as the existing messenger.
Anyone know when version 8 is due for release?
I do like the...
What make and model is your machine? I suspect it was sold aimed at office or home use as opposed to gaming.
If you check out overclockers, their home and office come with 250watt psu's and their gaming machines come with 400+watt.
You will need to upgrade your PSU before the graphics card...
AleG,
This is the one I have, unlocked to 16 pixel pipelines like the GT. Currently overclocked to a core of 386MHz and memory at 821MHz (Ultra runs at core 400MHz and Memory 550 MHz and GT at 350MHz / 500MHz)...
