I only get this issue very rarely - I think it's to do with IO as it seems to only when I have vmware fusion open and running a VM on my system disk. If you're running any VMs try putting them onto an external drive.

Hi there Having put a Samsung SSD into my work pc, the imac at home is starting to feel a little sluggish. I've been trying to research the viability of replacing the SATA drive in my imac with a 2.5" ssd, but have been unable to find much info for this particular model (27" is a different...

Hi all Firstly, could someone recommend a decent (in form and function) USB hub for my iMac? Also, I'm a little unsure about how firewire works - if I have a lot of firewire devices will they all share the available bandwidth between them? I guess I'm asking this because I dont want my...

uff! A little bit of knowledge can be worse than none at all - cheers for the tip!

I think that causes performance problems doesn't it? AFAIK it's better to have IDE stuff on seperate channels.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll probably get him to look at the controller cards as then he could potentially even have IDE RAID.

Hi A friend is upgrading to a Code 2 Duo rig, but wants to save some cash for now by hanging onto his IDE drives. He's going for a Gigabyte DS3 965 board but it only has one IDE slot. Is it possible to buy an adapter to convert IDE drives to run on SATA - I couldnt find one on OcUk...

My machine has suddenly decided to make powering up a game of chance - only about one in 50-100 presses of the power button result in it actaully awakening from its slumber and turning on. I've had the side off and used the power button on the board (Socket 939 DFI Lanparty UF3) and the same...

Gah! I've spent the last half an hour phoning pretty much anywhere that i can think of - the best bet looks like a local supermarket, who seem to think that they will be getting them in, and aren't taking pre-orders. Time to get the tent out ;)

Buying a Wii on launch day Rather foolishly I have neglected to preorder a wii - does anyone know of anywhere I can try to get one? The local specialists have closed their preorder lists :(

I think the board's totally dead - I ordered a replacement yesterday, so I'll swap it out today when it arrives (makes a change from coding at least!). I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it isnt the conroe that's melted :/

Hi I've come in to work this morning and my machine is borked - the machine was "off" but the hdd and power lights were flashing very rapidly, and when I looked inside the case, the cpu fan was spinning and the psu leds were flashing at approximately the same frequency as the leds on the...

Hi all I'm going to be working on a viral flash game, that will use an ASP.NET 2.0 back end to write registrations/scores to a database (most likely Sql Server, or possibly MySql or even Access(yuck!) according to the client's budget. My problem is finding a reliable host for my...

I cant remember and it's wrapped up at the moment, so hopefulyl someone else can answer that for you.

The import duty is pretty pricey - I just bought my girlfriend a Navy DS and the shipping (UPS) and duty came in at about £50!

Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Rez, R Type Final. All are absolute classics :D

Thanks for the pics - I really want some "In use" pics with something on the screens etc as I think that'll give a better idea of what they look like. That pink thing is truly vile!

It's my girlfriend's birthday coming up at the end of September and I want to get her a DS Lite asap (before I spank all the money on myself lol). I was looking at the coloured import Lites, but haven't managed to find many non-Nintendo pictures. If anyone owns a Navy/Ice blue DS Lite...

I'm after a decent shoot 'em up for my DS, along the lines of R-Type, Einhander, Ikaruga etc. Any recommendations? Cheers :)

I bought a DS Lite yesterday but am having a nightmare trying to get hold of Castlevania for it. Does anyone know whether the German version (which seems readily available) has an English option? Also, what other games should I keep an eye out for? I generally like more abstract titles like...
