    New build advice appreciated

    Thank you @Tetras that's really helpful advice and thanks for the links, I was certainly unaware that modern graphics cards had different pin requirements. I'm not sure if the encoding software I use would make use of any GPU capabilities but regardless one of the main bottle necks with my...

    New build advice appreciated

    I haven't posted here in years. My last PC based on an i7-3930K @ 3.20GHz has lasted more than a decade with only an upgraded GPU along the way but it's not Windows 11 compatible and it's started to chug a little so I'm looking for a new build that will last another decade. My current PC is...

    ***World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor***

    I stopped playing just before the Hellfire Citadel patch having subbed continually since vanilla. I doubt I'll re-sub unless Legion provides something a little different.

    Free Shipping for Loyal Forum Members

    The problem with Pipex and probably many other providers is that they are constantly changing their packages in order to remain competitive while leaving their existing customers on old tariffs. The £24/month 1mb unlimited package disappeared long ago but to cap it without a change of contract...

    Does anyone NOT use an anti-virus program?

    Even though the people who responded that they don't use an AV product are probably a small minority here, I still find it hard to comprehend that any contributor to this board would choose not to. How can you be sure that this site isn't serving you a virus? How can you be sure that the host...

    Icemat or SteelPad?

    The Icemat (Black) - 2nd Edition doesn't work at all with the Microsoft HABU mouse. Anything other than very slow movement on this surface will cause the mouse to skip. However I'd place the blame squarely on the mouse judging by what I've read on the net.

    Completely erasing HDD's

    They also have a set proceedure which involves a man under supervision with an oxyacetylene cutting torch but that maybe taking things a bit too far in this case :D :rolleyes:

    Completely erasing HDD's

    Norton Utilities will also destroy any data left in 'free space' on your HD. Re-partitioning and re-formatting will only destroy the FAT and TOC. The actual data is still reclaimable with the right tools.
