    I Need A Second Hard Drive

    Okay, today is the day that I can actually order my second hard drive as I finally have the money to buy it lol...I was almost toally convinced that I was going to buy a 200GB WDC, until I then put myself in another tricky decision when looking at the 250GB choices... Basically I thought why...

    Best place to buy Hardware in the UK?

    Obviously the UK doesn't have the mighty newegg, so what does it have instead? System builders in the UK where do you like to order your various parts from? Thanks :)

    Absolute best drivers for a GF4?

    I'll probably end up trying several of the 4x.xx ones myself, but does anyone have any recommendations to give? Are there ones that are known to give the best performance or others that are known to be incompatible with certain things so need to be avoided?

    Building My First Ever System

    I have had a burning desire in me for quite a while now to build my own PC. Currently I have a Dell system (the one in sig), and I have regretted buying the overpriced system ever since... But anyway, my younger brother has been thinking about buying a pre-built computer so I thought this was...

    Custom Quake III Demos to Benchmark

    I've been playing Q3 for a good couple of years now. As with every game I get, I like to push the game to max. I don't necessarily mean putting on things such as AA/AF and play at the highest resolution, as that is completely not the case with me (I play with practically every setting as low as...

    Firefox is great, but...

    I really like Firefox after using it for almost two days. The "find as you type" feature comes in very handy on many occasions for me and the pop-up blocker and download manager are both things I never actually had with my IE, so this is a pretty big leep. :) However, I realised that I need...

    Master File Table fragmentation

    I have a 120GB WD 8MB drive. My system is NTFS and I have used 94GB and have only 17 GB left: that's 15% free space. Now I read somewhere that if you use more than 75-85% of a drives capacity then your master file table gets fragmented. This has now happened to me. In Disk Defragmenter it...

    When CPU usage isn't 100%, system is slow

    What I mean by that is when you go to the Task Manager normally CPU usage starts at 100% for a second then goes to what it should be. But my problem is whenever I do certain things these days my system starts to go really slow, such as after I play an intensive game or even when I leave a few...

    I Need A Second Hard Drive

    At the moment I have a 120GB Western Digital Cavier 8MB hard drive. I'm quickly running out of space as I have so many games, movies and music making their way onto the drive. I think I have just one spare IDE bay in my computer and I think it is ATA/100. So basically I'm wanting another...

    Best Program To View PDF Files?

    Before reformatting I think I used to use an older version of Adobe Acrobat Reader or something...version 5 it must have been. After the reformat I hadn't bothered installing a PDF reader until today. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 6. 44MB big!! Surely that...
