    USB 3 vs Sata?

    Just out of curiosity, why not headphones? I realise there is a big problem with fake memory; is it the same for headphones or is there a different reason?

    21CN yes, ADSL2 no

    If my exchange is 21CN enabled should it offer ADSL2? Whats the point of upgrading an exchange but not allowing customers to get the new speeds. I'm on BT by the way, but it's the same for two other people on the same exchange but different ISPs. Also after just checking, I received an email...

    High end air or H100 with new fans?

    Plan on taking my 3570k up to 4.5-4.8ish but I really can't decide on cooling - case is a Lian Li A16 the HDD thing removed 8 bay grills installed. Noise is a concern. Air would be quiet and cheaper, but I'm not 100% on the clearance for the Phanteks, or even the K2, in my case. H100 would be...

    A3 multifunction printers

    Since I hate searching the internet and just coming up with old forum posts with no replys, an update. We bought a Brother MFC-J6510DW and we're very happy. The photo prints are good; wireless LAN setup was very easy; scan/copy is easy; and I was very impressed with the online product...

    A3 multifunction printers

    My dad wants an A3 multifunction printer for his business, but I can only find Brother multifunction printers in A3. Not had any experience with the brand, so I was wondering if anyone here has. Bonus points if you have experience with the A3 multifunction models themselves, but all info on...

    Choosing and installing 4 port SATA card

    Yeah, according to the manuals you use a floppy and tell the install driver wizard to look on A:. The manuals for all three have independant sections for installing with a fresh OS (F6 and install from floppy) and installing onto and existing OS. But if you, and hopefully other posters, have...

    Grrr, very annoying. I never though there was a need to check. Too late to swap it I would guess

    Have I made big mistake?

    Just got a gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3 for a build and after putting most of it together I've realised that there is no onboard graphics port... surely the point of a Z68 board is for the onchip graphics Am I missing something?

    How much to charge for PC help

    Cheers for the helps guys, very useful. Except to those moaning that theres a thread like this every week; who, by the way, I assume search the forums - not to mention google - endlessly before daring to post a question.

    How much to charge for PC help

    Well, my dad is an agricultural contractor, so I'm guessing the people in need of help will be farmers. It will be a regulary desktop buy or build then install apps, possibly some file moving but i doubt they will have lots to move. Any ideas on how to bring up the cost? I haven't worked in a...

    How much to charge for PC help

    My dad has offered my help to one of his customers to get them a new PC and get them set up. I've given help to family, friends and neighbours before but never wanted to charge.
