    Time for a new rig!

    I've got 2 hopes of beating those scores. Bob, and No.

    Time for a new rig!

    Nah, not your excuse, the GTX295-beating GT.

    Time for a new rig!

    Convenient excuse! At least my excuse started at the top of the thread... But it's invalid anyway, as it's just installing Crysis at the moment. Doesn't take long with 4x 15k SAS disks.

    Time for a new rig!

    I would. If I could get the chunt to boot. It's stuck permanently restarting now, rather than just doing it a couple of times before deciding to go to OS.

    Time for a new rig!

    Scrap the original plans... The board I want has finally arrived! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-338-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1283

    Tis indeed - 965i. ;)

    Time for a new rig!

    Shall I try it on my D630? Lol.

    Problems with dual boot! please help....

    Run the Vista setup repair wizard thing with just the Vista disk in, then plug other in and use the easyBCD thing.

    PC Problem - Hard Drive??

    That or a boned optical drive. If you've got a USB optical drive (CD drive) and it will boot from that, there's an excellent starting point. However 9/10, I'd say HDD.

    Time for a new rig!

    Another vote above then that an 8800GTX can't run Crysis at maximum settings... But an 8800GT (the slower, smaller frame buffered-cousin) can?! As for car - I'm currently shopping for an Exige S, although what relevance that has to computers I'm not entirely sure! I did look at car...

    One question iPhone/iPT thread.

    Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6 How much of ClioSport have just preordered... Lol!

    Time for a new rig!

    Well I'm not going to discuss income - some people seem a shade sore about it so I'll keep myself to myself, but yes I do have a passion for computers. I do it all day every day because I enjoy it, and I like to have the latest wizardry to play with just so I'm in touch with what's going on...

    Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6 It's part of CPW, so will have stock on the 18th for people to have on the 19th. ;)

    Time for a new rig!

    FPMSL. I've got an 8800GTX at the moment, and it sweats when I do medium settings and 2x AA. With a Q6600 clocked beyond Q6850 speeds. And 8GB RAM. Sorry, fail. In fact, everybody in this thread that's called your bluff has better kit than an 8800GT.

    ibm 306m 1u server 2k3 install issues

    You *HAVE* to install the drivers at F6 install stage (or spend a long time messing with the registry and system files).

    ibm 306m 1u server 2k3 install issues

    Ah, that'll do it. XP/2003 don't do native AHCI so you have to do F6 (or slipstream the drivers).

    New laptop, recommendations welcome

    I had a Dell Latitude D630 ATG (essentially a heavy D630 with a couple of flashy lights shining on the keyboard) and it lasted 9 hours actually working, and separately 16 hours just running RDP over 3G. TBH, the E-series Latitudes are possibly the nicest business laptops I've ever seen - short...

    NVIDIA ION - release

    330 chip is delayed *I think*.

    ibm 306m 1u server 2k3 install issues

    Liking Vista/Server 2008 SP2 at the moment - just IE8 to install and a 'compatibility pack' update and it's all done. No matter how hard you try, there always seems to be one or two updates that linger after doing a slipstreamed image.

    Time for a new rig!

    Please feel free to post proof of that, because my bullshit detector has exploded. Allow me to demonstrate the only card known to be able to play Crysis at 'max' settings out of the box: http://www.evga.com/articles/364.asp Oh, wait, no. That can't...

    New laptop, recommendations welcome

    But the Alienware are huge. He wants a portable. They also have awful graphics life. Which is made worse by a £5000 price tag! You considered the Dell Latitudes? I really quite like the E4300 (portable) and E4200 (ultraportable) laptops. Just had a Lenovo X301 at work, but wasn't...

    NVIDIA ION - release

    Even though the ION uses a more modern and better GPU, which does the HD decoding. ION understanding FAIL. ;)

    Time for a new rig!

    Even with Acceleration, it sucks the lifeblood from it. I can run 1920x1200 with full detail but no AA, and I can't put too much in the way of traffic on - at that point it s***s itself!

    AMD Fanboys

    AMD fanboys, Do any of you have any idea if there's anything on offer in the mid-term future to try and stop the Nehalem rampage that currently is? Ta.

    NVIDIA ION - release

    It's not an ION if it's not got the chip soldered on - Atom chips aren't socket-based, they're solder-on!

    NVIDIA ION - release

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-003-ZT&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1436 Not too far off I don't think? Epic stuff for my plans of doing a car computer!
