Yep, and then get the problem of "Do I waste £200ish quid on an out of date card or do I put up with what I've got and save for the £400 behemoth" b*****d game - makes me very grateful I only have to buy a workhorse, as all the gaming kit is bought for me!

Vista, XP, OSX or Linux?

You want to add another line to your abacus, that'll increase your processing power. Seriously though, for quizzing your computer I've not come across anything better than Lavalys' Everest Ultimate Edition. Brilliant piece of software IMO. *Edit: You know when your computer needs...

nVidia's drivers are pretty terrible until the last ones, and the 4870s I've got I can't comment on but the 512s in Crossfire absolutely muller anything nVidia can throw at them for anything like similar money.

You've got a virus-y thingy that runs a logout command - try using Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice on the logon screen to get the classic logon and type in the Administrator credentials, to see if it's a user shortcut or an all user shortcut. Failing that, safe mode, or even rebuild.

It's already out there: http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductID=764124 Intel Seaburg 5400 workstation chipset with two nVidia 100 MCPs, allowing 4xPCI-E x16 slots (although not 2.0 compatible). Two Intel Xeon 771 sockets (although Intel ported a Core2Extreme over to the platform...

Yep, as Daz said it only works internally on Exchange servers.

Mate's mum has one of those. It's called a hearing aid you old codger. Seriously though, it's Normalisation and it's s**t. Turn it off, it'll make everything a whole lot worse, including an increase in 'fuzzy' sound in quiet scenes.

Not entirely true - as Intel quickly worked out with the Pentium D. Consider that a Core2 1.8Ghz can quite easily outpace a 3Ghz Pentium D, even in singlethreaded applications. Pipelines, cache and all sorts of other design elements make clock-for-clock comparison near pointless on any...

Consider it like this: Twin engined car - yes it makes it faster, but it doesn't make it twice as fast. Depends from what point you're comparing it to, and how efficiently it's done. The more complicated explanation involves a conversation including Hyperthreading technology, shared vs...

s**t, as are Evesham Micro in general. Absolute bunch of robbing idiots, with worse customer support than Dabs. Try: http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_T7.html Much more modern technology, granted more expensive, but also from what I've heard good support and the Atom is a...

No you don't - back in your box. SLI has been around for years, much much longer than DX10.

There is space if you consider something as specialised as the Intel Skulltrail, however this only supports Tri-SLI or Quad-SLI if you're using GX2s. As for using 6 GPUs in SLI (3xGX2s) this is physically impossible - all current GX2s only have one SLI 'tooth', meaning only two cards can be paired.

Got mine Thursday - 2.6Ghz Core2/4Gb/BD-RE/Vista Ultimate/5520 HSDPA module and Intel 4965BGN. Considered the 64Gb flashdrive but having had one on test I'm dubious to the 'massive' performance advances and my Latitude lasts an hour LONGER on a 5400rpm traditional disk.

Lots. And lots.

And ESX costs how much? HyperVisor is actually pretty good. Pipe down and back in your box. When you're responsible for how you spend a limited budget, you'll understand why not everybody drives a Rolls Royce.

Yeah, your TV is only Standard Definition, so won't support HD signals over component.

Let me guess, the phone unlocking stuff was free? I'll give you a tip, typically if it's free, there's a catch.

* plus the left key. Also might want to try asking in the Phones and Broadband section, or RTFM... * No posts left - no probs ;)

I suspect they have different hardware mate so the Windows will possibly throw a wobbly depending on how critical the hardware is that's changed. Also, no experience in doing it with Mac OS. May or may not like it.

Turn off thumbnails...

're-greased' - wtf? It should be an extremely (almost invisible) film of thermal interface, not 'grease' - and if that's the case it's probably cooking itself to thermal shutdown.

Yup, HP Printing Monitor software is a pain in the ass.

Doubting that myself sorry, that's not running all cores at 100% otherwise you'd have hit a thermal scaling point. I'm liquid cooling mine (3x120mm rad) and at 4ghz on as low a voltage I can get away with it's running a load temp of 65 degrees...

Force a fresh download of all items, rather than just comparing timestamps and re-displaying the page.

Dell Vostro. Cheap and cheerful :)

Even a cheap switch will run the port at Gb, and the data will flow at Gb. This is purely a measure of the traffic that the devices/interfaces can handle - so if one device on a GbE network is accessing 10 resources also attached to the GbE network, the maximum it will ever get is GbE. If one of...

Incorrect. A network switch would allow traffic to the server at 1Gb, however the traffic to the ADSL router would be limited to 100Mb. This is only affected if the server is connected to a port on the ADSL router which will be 100Mb.

What sort of usage? Stock cooler on a G0 Quad is good for 3Ghz o/c at sustainable temps, and depending on whether you're using it for just tossing around or for workstation or for light games depends how you spend your (rather limited!) budget. If you're not doing any gaming what about an IGP...

But is analogue AFAIK?
