Well, I bought the kit! Being pig-headed and more than a little stubborn, I went down the i7 route. Ordered pretty much what I said in the original post, an Asus Rampage III Extreme mobo, and an i7 930 - but went for a OCZ 6GB memory kit (3x 2GB) of DDR3 2000Mhz sticks. I tend to stick with...

Re: 3 today - 2x Ashton-under-Lyne, 1x Duckinfield LOL - typos a-hoy! Typing it as you say it - FTL! ;) I wasn't in my car thankfully - looks like a Door-Ding-Central there. D.

Cool. Nice, easy fix! :) D.

About 43 for me, but my m8 has scored 72 on my iPhone. Git. ;) D.

Two silver 172s pretty much within seconds of each other, heading up Cavendish Street, opposite Asda. Then a Monaco 172 at Morrisons in Dukinfield. Probably around 11-11.30 this morning... D.

Grrr. Still can't decide! :) D.

That's what I thought. The 655k is only dual core. :( D.

Is it worth dropping to dual-core from quad-core? D.

WTF?! Surely you could get a LOT more flogging that on Fleabay? :cool: D.

You've definitely got me thinking m8. Just looking at a saving of around £130 going down the i5 route with the following... Asus Maximus III mobo i5 655k G-Skill PC3-16000 4GB kit. In the real world, am I likely to see much difference in performance? Probably not, I would have thought? D.

Sure am m8. :) Is that LGA1156 though, Griff? I was looking at socket LGA1366 mobos. Good call though, I should probably look at i5 setups. Heheh - when you say 'cheap', just how cheap?! They're circa £800 new aren't they? ;) Cheers, D.

Chaps, Can I have your input on the following three bits that I'm thinking of buying to revamp the core of my PC at home... Asus Rampage III Extreme mobo Intel i7 930 CPU @2.8Ghz (8MB) G-Skill 4GB (2x 2GB kit) PC3-17600 memory The key part I'm unsure of is the memory. I've never had G-Skill...

PMSL. Been there and done that SO many times! :cool: D.

Is it that bad? :( No real excuse for making bad AI these days. They were doing pretty good back in 2005 with F.E.A.R. Love to see some clips of just how bad it is. The last truly shocking one I played was the original Just Cause. Two guards in watchtowers seperated by about 15ft in games...

Have you checked for any BIOS updates on the netbook? With it having integrated graphics, there maybe a fix for the issue in a BIOS update? Certainly worth checking first. D.

Re: 3G ios 4 update, WTF? Lol. With each passing day, Apple gets more like MSoft. Like fcuk am I giving them any more money for a 4G. My 3GS suits me fine.... :) D.

So am I. But I guess I could interpret one of my key benefits of the Oblivion GG in particular as cheating.... possibly. ;) That part comes down to the alchemy and enchantment section of the game. Probably for a lot of players out there, the idea of scouring the land for various ingredients and...

Normally, they are strictly off limits to me. A bit like watching "The Making of 'insert film name here'" before you actually watch the film itself. They can give away hints and tips to the game before you've even took a step in it and maybe even dilute the experience overall, imo. However, I...

You didn't give me a budget! :rasp: I'm still using my Antec P180 at home, though the last build I did used an Antec P183. Excellent case that, imo. D.

Too right. Getting all the parts and putting it together is like Lego for adults! :cool: D.

I would only downgrade if you were either 110% commited to the step-down. Or, that you had no alternative. If you tend to stay at your parents, then keep it. If you're intended to save up for a place of your own, then commit to a downgrade - maybe even curb the amount of track days you do...

If I were you (at this moment in time) - I think that would be plenty for your OS Gareth, rather than stumping up the cash for an SSD alternative. I'm still running 2x 7.2K SATA for my OS! :o D.

Simple and elegant...... with just a hint of 'yes, I am hard' to it....:cool: http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=258&cl_index=1&sc_index=26&ss_index=67 D.

Heheh - I don't do 'annoying' games. Sure, challenging, difficult and sometimes awkward ones are all fine - but 'annoying' ones I stay clear of. Playing a game is meant to be relaxing - not something that makes you want to put your fist through the screen because of it. :) D.

I thought that within 10secs of watching the YT clip at the start of this thread! No way on earth would I even bother with something like this - even a PC version. I'd just end destroying the keyboard/mouse/gamepad/whatever in utter frustration with it....:) D.

Noticed that too. Flicked it out and had a look up at the 'ceiling' of the passenger foot well. Looks like a MUCH easier way to pass the cable through.... D.

Is it easy to do? Thinking of moving the iPod to there (out of the way) and want to see how/where to the run the cable. Thx, D.

...not far from the KFC, while I was sat at the lights. D.

Total waste off time, imo. I never use it in mine. That's what having the windows down is for! ;) D.

Is it just me, or is that one of the weirdest, slightly unnerving YT clips you've seen in a while? :S A bloke wearing a Mario 'n s**t t-shirt standing face to face with a row of good looking women and instead he's content to meddle with Nintendo's latest offering? Earth calling moron...... D.
