Got mine today for £199 from PC world @ Tottenham Court Road. There was a 20 minute wait as these things were flying out of the door. I can't believe how fast it is. Linupus seems ok. It's Fedora underneath - so I added other repos and got mp3 working using xmms. Flash works out of the box...

Hi [H] This is a post about a problem that I'm facing at work. I look after the desktop projects team that are about to impliment SCCM 2007. Nice one eh! However, there's a problem with the environment. The AD is Server 2003, with DCHP and DNS being seperate 2003 boxs too. DHCP is...

Hi [H] The iPhone is available in the UK from 9th Nov. Does anyone who owns one think that the hardware is worth the money? It seems to have a lot going for it. Tariff here in the UK seems pretty good. But the handset also costs £270. As well as a contract, that seems a little steep...

Looking at the Q6600 it is neck and neck with the 6850 in price and performance. So, seems thats a good move! 3Ghz x 1066 == 2.4GHz at 1333 and I guess the RAM will be cheaper. Link to benchmarks http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2866&p=15 So, Q6600 it is then. Nice one...

Hi Looking at upgrading the cpu for my gaming rig. GPU is a single 7950GX2 so not really wanting to upgrade that just yet. Game res is 1600x1200 @ 85Hz and this card is ok for that. CPU prices for the AMD 6400+ and the Intel QX6850 are almost the same (£140 ex vat in the uk) so was wondering...

Anyone got this installed yet? I still got an hour plus to go!!! L

Software is Media Player Classic. Actually, I dont think the drive could read the disks at all, now you mention it. I'll get the drive swapped out.

Hi Title says it all. Tried with 2 DVDs (Superman and The Italian Job - both remakes). Disks work fine in another PC. PC running XP. Any ideas? Or is this just a case of DVD-RAM not being able to play any films? L

Just tried it and it works fine in the uk. Sweet.

Hi I'm interested in seeing if I can boot a linux disto via pxe off of the network. It is basically a proof of concept about running thin clients. So, I've been looking at various distro's and settled on FDLinux (http://www.fdlinux.com/) as it seems like a sold networkable OS. I've used...

Hi No, I wont be buying it for home or for work. Installed both RC1 and RC2 at work. Had some of the students use it. The most telling thing they said was "Why do we need this?". I could not answer that question. That may be the biggest "blocker" to people buying Vista. Considering how...
