    40 Percent Now Say They Won't Buy Another Samsung Phone

    After being a Galaxy S and Note fan I ditched Samsung when they'd mislead people that Lollipop was coming to the Note 2. I'd more or less decided that Samsung was no more an option when they took away the option to change/expand the battery and to have SD card storage - they've back tracked on...

    12-Way Gaming Mouse Roundup

    Yes, quality at a good price and mine is still perfect after 8 months - previous Razer mouses have not worn that well - 8200 DPI is pretty worthless to me, took me ages to game at second highest setting - I'm just not good enough to use best sensitivity :) I've been trying out the Logitech...

    Prison Time For Data Thieves

    What with the UK prisons being full and judges being directed that they "...should jail only the most serious, persistent and violent offenders" and with a case in point that a known paedophile was not jailed for being in possession child pornography - I don't think a single data thief will end...

    Windows 64 on AMD and Games

    Hello I've only tried Half Life 2, Farcry64 and Rome Total War and they all work perfectly. However, I'm pretty certain that RTW is running quicker/smoother and the AI is behaving slightly differently (maybe the patch was patched without naming a new version?). My Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI CD...

    Who uses 64bit XP?

    Hello I was quite curious about how much better Far Cry would be in 64 bit. Apart from it constantly crashing and losing all my checkpoints so I have to start from the beginning at training, it is great! What was I thinking going to x64? I've installed the replacement Win x64 and so my 32 bit...

    HDA Mystique Dolby Digital Encoding Card Info

    Hello I've had the card + expansion since March, can find no faults and can't begin to describe how much more my ears have been enjoying themselves - both gamewise and for music. Bass was incredibly punchy and even at low overall volume, actually felt like something was trying to be pushed...

    Someone tell me about Guild Wars

    This question will definitely reveal that I'm a MMORPG virgin. How many characters can you create with a single copy of the game? I've ordered it for myself and don't really want others in my home using my character to try out the game - and I especially don't want to end buying 3 copies of a...

    Need Mobo that outputs 5.1 from digital out in games

    Hello A coax or optical digital out should have 5.1 encoded on the signal. Creative do also do a cable that has a multi-conductor jack at one end and an RCA/Phono/Coax (3 names for the same thing) connector at the other end. I've been downloading all the Creative manuals to try and understand...

    MGE Viper Case

    Hello I bought one of these last November and actually managed to stuff it with my semi-SLI setup last saturday! It's a very nice looking case. Annoying that everything has to be screwed in, but no big deal as I'm only going to build my PC once Side panels are initially almost impossible to...

    Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI Woes

    Hello Nope, I think he really does mean SATA drivers. For SATAs you used to have to F6 to put a a driver floppy in during Windows install, but with the lovely Nforce4 SATA it takes care of it all automatically, which is contrary to what a lot of people believe (and sometimes state) who haven't...

    SB Live! Value Vs. Audigy 2?

    Slight tangent if I may. I've been sticking my Live! Value through my Creative Digital 5500s via the coax and all 5 speakers have been filled, but I supect not with true surround. Built my new PC at the weekend and the ALC850 coax output doesn't work the same. The test programs don't touch the...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI Cicada Giga lan driver

    Hello I built my Gigabyte citadel at the weekend. Regarding LAN, Win XP didn't install LAN devices at all - lots of yellow exclamation marks and a few minutes of being a bit worried. But the Nvidia CD put all the extras on (including sound which also doesn't get detected by WinXP) with only 2...

    Can I make whole disk device appear as a CDROM?

    Thanks for the replies. Tommo, The Windows install won't work as it verifies that SETUP is running on a valid CD - which is what I was a bit too naively/optimistically hoping to make a disk behave like.

    Can I make whole disk device appear as a CDROM?

    Hello I'm waiting for the graphics card to arrive for my PC build and would love to be able to do something whilst I'm waiting. I would like to create an SP2 slipstreamed Windows XP install CD, but I don't have a CD writer. But I do have some old 1Gb IDE disk drives. I know that with the...
