And the Night vision is great fun - it actually works! It's not just a 'brighten everything up silly bright'. Normal: Flash: Night Vision: Much amusement.

I got a Sony HDR-SR12E and it's absolutely astounding - colours are exceptional, definition is breathtaking. Took it when walking the dog today and you can see every whisker and hair on his nose... 120Gb HDD is plenty, and the night vision is just great fun for messing around!

I'll help. Send me the shizzle and the whens.

O noooooooooo!!111oneone!one11 I'm using all but 35MB of my physical memory! Oh wait, no, 2320MB of itis actually cached applications and data so that my Outlook, for example, opens within 2 seconds. At a push! Yes Daz - it is x86. Using my XPS M1530, and IMHO if you're using 4GB of memory...

Actually, it DOES use more RAM. But you know why? Because it puts the stuff you use in there - to reduce the amount of stuff it loads from disk. Think, when XP came out how much did it cost to put 1GB in your machine? Few hundred notes IIRC. Now you can put 8GB in a desktop for £70, and 4GB in a...

Penis. An obviously illiterate one at that, because it's not a few lines into the article that it comes out and says that Vista IS 'Mojave'. And I run it on a Core Duo 1.6Ghz laptop - with Aero turned on, and 1Gb RAM. It works, it's not unusuably slow and whilst, yes, it was faster running...

I'm all for 250Mb mail files - I've saved EVERY email I've received in the last 2 years (~40 legitimate business emails a day and ~100 personal) and I've only ever archived ONCE. We use Lotus Scrotes, which is just the shittest email system in the world. Good at the rest of it, but s**t at...

MOM.

Windows Firewall properly configured...

Start, All Programs, Welcome Center.

I personally have had the best results with a business card or old debit card, tiniest spot of it on the CPU and spread it as thin as possible without having breaks in the cover. That way you get the best contact all over. Had up to 10 degree reductions in comparison to just sticking a small...

Leave it well alone. Someone paid a lot of money spent a fair bit of time designing the heatsink/fan/case combination to achieve better than Intel/AMD's recommended specifications for it. Unless you're going for a proper aftermarket solution, the only thing you can do that'll improve it is to...

My company can do refurbished office equipment for very reasonable prices, although the consultant part of me says really if you're setting up a new office it's going to be £300 per machine for a desktop running Vista with a 19" widescreen from us for a branny... Which makes more sense. Let me...

Depends if you run it on one of the bus's hubs or on one of the direct channels, as a lot of machines integrate 'hubs' (particularly laptop chipsets pre-945) to give more than 2 USB ports. Desktops rarely suffer the same problem. As has been said, Firewire 800 (larger connection IIRC) is much...

Tell him to go f**k himself. Even the home stuff, whilst resource hungry and by no means the best, is still very effective - the enterprise stuff is miles ahead of toys like AVG Free and other free Antivirus products. As for the problem you're having, I'd be inclined to download...

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/minicat/uk/en/services_vostro1510_2?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd&~ck=expbuy3 Add the 2Gb memory, you've got a hell of a laptop for £280+VAT. Also exceptionally good build quality for that - we've just had 20 of them under our noses and...

Not with Office 2007 legitimately I'm afraid...

Dell are having battery supply problems at the moment after their main battery supplier had an incident at their factory.

I wasn't sure - I've always formatted stuff NTFS because security/performance are a key part of what I do - my iPod deals with itself and plugs into my XBox/PS3 whatever. Can't be doing with FAT32 any more unless absolutely necessary, so have no recent experience.

Blades are good, and their 9th-gen servers are fairly competent. Laptops wise I can't think of a more appropriate business laptop than the D630 Latitude, just does everything, massive array of docking and expansion options... Standard hardware so imaging/deployment is a joy. As for Dell...

Any substance to your opinion? I've reviewed most of the current Dells and they are a long way on from the old ones... The Inspiron in particular is a very able, very well built and capable bit of kit and I think fairly good looking. I'm on an XPS1530 at the moment and I think for the money...

Don't believe so - if you've got any hope it's with 3rd party partitioning software - PartitionMagic eic.

No, x16 is the number of lanes, 1.0/1.1/2.0 is the specification. What motherboard? If it's primary graphics slot is 8x, then it's likely to be AGP.

Actually, another independent benchmarker thanks, funded by the people who pay for the rag, and supported by distributors more than manufacturers. I'll also take the opportunity to point the flaw in your plan - $160 is NOT £100 - The $200 winner (£100) is the AT 4850. So, would the 8800GT not...

Tom's Hardware are partially funded by Intel, and nVidia are in good favour too. Who would you go for, the guy who pays your wages or the guy that's in competition with him?

Yes, by a fair amount.

Are you on drugs? 4850 isn't too far behind the 9800GTX in an nVidia-favoured game, the 8800GT doesn't even get a look in!

Almost never. Dunno where you get that from but CHKDSK only checks the disk itself, not the data on it as such... If you were extremely lucky an install over the top would leave most of the structure in place - Vista's good though...

Depending on resolution and amount of AA/AF, you will kill the 3850 with Red Alert 3.
