    Please take a quick look at this setup...

    Anyone? You'd really be helping me out. (By the way, I changed the case to a ThermalTake Soprano.)

    Please take a quick look at this setup...

    I'm building a computer for my brother, and I have put together a list of things. I've been out of the loop for a while so I'm not entirely sure what the best things are at the moment. We're aiming for 'good but not the best' - something that'll play the lastest games well and will continue to...

    TwinMOS Twister - any good?

    http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=120096&cks=PRL - I need a 512MB upgrade for the system listed in my sig. Is this good enough stuff - I'm planning on some overclocking. Should I spend a bit more and go for the Corsair XMS instead?

    Not built a computer in ages, take a look at parts list please

    Yeah, sorry about that. Got carried away. Thanks for the replies gamekid, now that I know I'm on the right track I just need to make a few adjustments. Is the XMS that I've chosen still good stuff - I know it was when I was building my PC 18 months ago, but technology moves quickly.

    I can buy stuff off http://www.ebuyer.com, http://www.overclockers.co.uk, http://www.microdirect.co.uk. I'm looking to spend around £1000.

    Are there any 6800GTs with VIVO?

    Are there any 6800GTs with VIVO? I can't see any. Would it be better just to get a seperate TV tuner card?

    I think it seems that AMD is probably the choice to go for. What kind of speed is good? The 3400+ seems like a good balance between price and performance. So, I should be looking at a 6800GT instead of an X800? I'm looking to spend around £1000 (thats around $1900 I think). I'll have a look at...

    Not built a computer in ages, take a look at parts list please

    It's been a while since I've been looking at computers and I'm really out of touch with what's good at the moment. So, could somebody possibly give me a quick push as to what the good processors, vidcards and most of all motherboards are at the moment? See, I stupidly promised my brother I'd...

    Is this good stuff to get?

    I've not really been following the PC world recently, but I have decided to upgrade the cooling on my rig to see if I can push it past 3ghz. I am thinking of getting a Zalman CNPS7000B-Alcu, which was the best cooler available last time I checked about 6 months ago, with Arctic Silver 5. Is this...

    Which cooler to get? (for 2.4c)

    Currently, I can get my 2.4c up to around 3ghz before it starts getting unstable/high temps, with stock intel cooler. I would like to try and go further, so I plan on buying a cooler. I am torn between the Zalman 7000A AlCu (cheapest), Zalman 7000A Cu (more expensive, not sure how much of a...

    Couple of 2.4C questions (temps and cooling)

    Using stock cooling, I can get my 2.4C up to 3ghz (250FSB, 1.5375 Vcore, 5:4 mem) stable. Load temps (Sandra, P95) are around 45C, idle temps around 32C. So, my first question is, are these temps too high?, because I don't have a clue what they should be around. Secondly, I know that I can take...

    How can I get my private files back?

    Woah, thanks a lot, that worked. I thought I was seriously screwed for a minute there.

    How can I get my private files back?

    I really hope that someone can help me here, because I am in a serious dilemma. I just repartitioned my hard drive using PartitionMagic, and installed a fresh copy of XP (because the old install was getting slow etc.). However, I kept all of my files on the old partition. So far, so good, eh...
