    best htpc motherboard

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-307-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=326 Intel chipset. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-057-DF&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=326 nVidia chipset. Both very capable, and won't disappoint.

    8gig of ram over 4gig (vista 64)

    No, but I (fatally, in this case) assumed that if someone was daft enough to ask the muppets on here instead of on a specialist forum then they'd have just bought normal RAM. Dominator stuff is quite nice - not my personal preference as I'm an OCZ man myself but still. :star: Definately...

    8gig of ram over 4gig (vista 64)

    Worth it on 64-bit as you're actually going to be running with less RAM on a 4GB system running 64-bit software than you are running 32-bit software, due to the increased overhead of 64-bit software. I'd say keep it and stick it in the machine. If it cost you any more than £40 then they saw...

    Need more RAM

    Because if you want it to be faster, you can either bin it, or change the processor to a newer one (that one's dual core - whilst not one of the Core2 range the Dimension 9100 doesn't support those). Faster/more processors = faster computer. :) Either that or bin it and start again.

    Need more RAM

    http://www.itcsales.co.uk/acatalog/Intel_Dual_Core_Based_CPU_s.html#a669 Item 673 on there should improve matters - on top of that do a fresh install of WXP and you should get all of your performance back!

    If you own a modern Clio, it's likely you are a crap driver. Discussion.

    No, I agree with him. You sound like a c**k. I drive (and have driven) all sorts of cars, some which make your GTT and Chavwagon look like the toys they really are. Yes, you learn alot through sticking 500bhp through four wheels with no aids. However, my mum doesn't want to. She wants to...

    4870 x2 Sideport

    9.1 definately does. And the nVidia card is here. GTX295.

    Dvi to Vga?

    Depends if the display is only wired for digital over DVI, as there are two types.
  11. Mike_182

    4870 x2 Sideport

    Already does. Has done for a long while.

    The Clio S2 is the fastest - 4.5 to 60. Yeah...

    The victim of snow thread...

    No issues at all here in the Audi, although I've banned the other half from going to work in the GTI today.

    Audi was sideways coming down my road this morning, but fine the rest of the way! Quattro FTW!

    SE W910i - s**t!

    Re: SE W910i - s**t! No, I think the official stance is the Manufacturer's warranty is invalid as the operator changes the firmware on it substantially, and as such it is left to them to warranty.

    SE W910i - s**t!

    Re: SE W910i - s**t! Yeah, I bought it when the W880i came out - rather than getting it a few months later or something. Think it was one of the first in the country, IIRC.

    my new telly *60"*

    Least it's 1080p/24 and 100Hz... ;)

    SE W910i - s**t!

    W880i does it but only recently and it's as old as the 880i, so I can forgive it. More fool you for buying a handset under contract, pay for the handset on it's own from the interweb and get a SIM-only contract. The handset doesn't get molested by the operator and you get the manufacturer's...

    my new telly *60"*

    All that money for a colossal screen and you didn't get 1080p... Money wasted now IMHO.

    I Just Got an Immense Deal On A 182

    *snap* *crunch* *smash*. That'll be the belt snapping, followed by the valves meeting the pistons, followed by the belt hitting the bonnet at an insane speed and denting the bonnet from the inside.

    I Just Got an Immense Deal On A 182

    Re: I Just Got a Emense Deal On A 182 FFS you C.Unit, I just fell off my chair. In 2 years: My 182 had a second MOT, and after flying through the first one it had around a grand's worth of work needing doing. All the boot wiring to the O/S/R light cluster had to be changed, the lambda...

    I Just Got an Immense Deal On A 182

    6k for an 04, and you need to spend another 500-1000 on belts for it? Congrats, you paid the same for an 04 Clio as I got selling to a dealer around a year ago for a 54 Clio. Wow, what an 'emense' deal.

    VW Golf GTI Pirelli Edition

    Yeah, I think I may need it. I realised today why I both hate, and love, black cars. They're absolutely stunning when they're clean, but they're dirty after 5 minutes!

    VW Golf GTI Pirelli Edition

    All a matter of taste - I wasn't sure on the seats but after looking and sitting in them, they are absolutely brilliant. Planned mods for it are the RNS510+Bluetooth Colour Touchscreen Sat Nav out of the Scirocco, and I think I may get the Piano black nose painted Diamond Black like the rest...

    VW Golf GTI Pirelli Edition

    All, Just a quick one, showing off the final work on the new motor. Took delivery of it 2 weeks ago but with starting a new job and my dog going off I didn't get chance to give it the once over. The motor is a 2008 '58 Pirelli Edition Golf GTI, with DSG gearbox. Not much in the way of...

    Why does everyone hate Vista so much?

    AFPMSL at the 5ft10" weeman getting agressive over his Vista argument. Bless you sweetie, I bet your momma refused you her titty when you were younger.

    Upgrading from Vista 32Bit to 64Bit

    Still, your disk will be less fragmented... #1 cause of performance issues.

    Why does everyone hate Vista so much?

    Yep. Loads of people will jump on the Vista Hate-wagon just because it's cool. Like a load of people jump on the Mac bandwagon because it's cool - not because it's better at what they want to use it for...
