    Core i7 at OCUK

    It is very rarely what you know, more who you know ;) However I have to give them back next week :dapprove:

    You've got Dunnington to wait for first I'm afraid, I expect On-Die Memory Controllers for Server architecture to be made available to people towards the middle of next year... I certainly wouldn't hold out for one before Christmas!

    How to get through to Blocked Image Hosting websites etc ?

    It doesn't appear to be a country-based block, that's Websense so wherever it is you're using the Net is blocking the sites.

    Core i7 at OCUK

    Glad someone else noticed that! I mean, part way through the original when you're trying to get into the base on the island, it's properly challenging - there was nothing even close to that! I <3 the PAX cannon at the end though. Fookin BOOM! 9L1CJlAVYgA

    Core i7 at OCUK

    And they're not limited by CPU - I've proven same framerate in both games with 2.6GHz standard clock on i7 and again at 3.6GHz. However swapping the two 4850 (Crossfire-X) for a single 4870X2 proves to be a massive improvement, again at 2.6GHz. No matter how fast they make these CPUs, gamers...

    Uh oh GTR transmission

    4.5 apparently, which isn't a mile away from a 15-year-old Audi. However I agree, if it can't take the punishment that's a bit shocking - how do Nissan cope with lending them to the press? As that's all anyone is ever going to do in someone elses car, thrash shite out of it! Dispicable, but...

    Group policy - IE favourites -

    Can't force them to the top I'm afraid, however if you delete everyone's favourites then it'll be at the top!

    are there any common faults with these

    They're French - that's the biggest fault!

    What's freeview?! I thought people got bored of that years ago!

    Already got one. Thanks for heads up! ;) Already broke it though. Runs too hot when you clock the b****cks off it.

    Clio II Dynamique 1.5dCi Power!

    Yikes! £450 bill to sort the S2 out prior to ADI at the weekend! *eek*

    Clio II Dynamique 1.5dCi Power!

    Arse, I'll have a word with them on that as it's gotta be nigh on 4 years old.

    Clio II Dynamique 1.5dCi Power!

    Cheers all - paint wasn't so hot when I got it, took some major love and tenderness to get it back to that! It had a fair few tar spots up both doors and rear panels, and it looked like someone had tried to sand them off! But 15 hours in total with a Porter-Cable and 3M Perfect-It pads and...

    Clio II Dynamique 1.5dCi Power!

    Yeah! First time I've posted pics of the little monster - well impressed with it TBH - £35 a year tax, £25 a corner tyres, 65mpg all day long... Far cry away from £200 a weekend in the S2! It handles brilliantly, and does what it says on the tin! Miss Air Conditioning I guess, but that's it!

    Dell Poweredge S1420 - 2nd CPU upgrade

    Yeah, servers tend to have everything that's ever failed on them as a plug in module, as it saves time/money when it goes wrong. Good bit of design IMO, had a VReg go on a PE2850 and it was just a pull out plug in affair and it came back to life!

    Dell Poweredge S1420 - 2nd CPU upgrade

    If it's the SC1420 (Can't find an S1420?) then it does indeed have seperate Voltage Regulator Modules (Dell term VRM)...

    Dell Poweredge S1420 - 2nd CPU upgrade

    CPU identifiers need to match (both Xeons of the same generation and number of cores etc) and also if it has seperate VREGs you'll need to get one of those in for it as well.

    Mk2Ph2 RB 182 - Tamworth

    Penis. Really, next time you sit next to a car with brakes that say 'Porsche' on them, a turbocharged I5 engine and 3 radiators just to keep the thing cool, maybe trying to race it off the lights isn't a good idea. Quattro = epic fail in traffic light grand prix. Although he did learn his...

    Trophy Advice - what to buy!

    Or a 1.5dCi Clio (used!) for about £5k and a Mk1 GTI - waaaaay more fun than any RenaultSport, and feels faster!

    Trophy Advice - what to buy!

    The bigger hatches will use no more fuel than a 182... Got to be a Mk5 GTi (Not edition 30 though, the bodykit looks naff!) - and it won't depreciate like a stone like any Renault!

    HP Pavilion Laptop

    Probably memory - if it's two sticks take one out, leave one in the first slot, and swap for the other one if that doesn't fix it.

    speed up my pc what shall i buy?

    But you know how to use slower systems and maximise performance I suspect - but trying to educate someone who wasn't sure of their processor to do similar is like swimming upstream. Easier to do the inevitable and bin the old system for a spangly one with more go...

    Alpine ida x100

    Definately get a UK one unless you know someone that can reconfigure the tuner (expensive job IIRC) - best off steering clear IMHO. It's a very reasonable price as it is! :)

    speed up my pc what shall i buy?

    Buy a new one... 2.2GHz AMD with 896MB RAM is old skool IIRC...

    Dell studio

    Vista is great, ignore the haters. 99% of the people who say it's crap haven't actually sat down and used it, or tried to attack it - they just take for gospel what a hater on the internet says, and it spreads. We're trialling 2008 Server and Windows Vista at the moment, and it's brilliant...
