    The Budget

    Overall a good budget IMHO, but an own goal by freezing pensioners age related allowance. The grey vote is crucial to the Tories and many pensioners are already suffering from poor pension annuity and savings rates. I was worried that Osborne was out of his depth when he took over 3 years...

    Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

    Just about to start the download, over a 2mb connection eek. Once it is downloaded, I really dont fancy doing this all over again. Can you back up the downloaded games files so that you can reinstall without d/l all over again? I know Steam has a backup function. Does Origin have something...

    £120 to write a Will? Are they ripping me off?

    Good Advice in this thread - I work for a Solicitors (mainly in probate i.e. sorting out peoples affairs after they are dead). £120 is reasonable for a document that can save many thousands of pounds costs if your Estate is contested due to the will being badly drawn up. I have seen many "Home...

    * The Metal Thread *

    Just discovered Amaranthe - they are supporting Kamelot on tour at the moment. Hard to describe the sound - elements of death metal, lots of synth (perhaps too much) and and a gorgeous female vocalist. Not sure I like the cheesy video though.

    Overpaid ISA allowance

    Correct. If you have over-subscribed to an ISA in any one tax year, they will simply instruct the product provider / bank to move the balance above the limit to another account.

    Oops Sapphire 5830 won't fit !

    I have 2 right angled SATA cables, but due to the orientation of the SATA ports on the board, only 2 can be used if the 5830 was installed :(

    Oops Sapphire 5830 won't fit !

    Thanks guys Looking at my options, it is between a 5770 - £89 and 8.5" or possibly an upgrade to a 460 which I believe is 8.25", but is another £35. Worth splurging the bit extra?

    Oops Sapphire 5830 won't fit !

    :eek: Bought one of the Sapphire 5830s on special earlier week and just about to install it and found that it completely covers all of the SATA ports on my Gigabyte 880Gm-UD2H motherboard. I currently have a 5750 installed which fits in fine ! I didn't expect the card to be so big!! Can...

    Can someone please confirm whether multiplayer is only 6 v6 or are there bigger maps with a higher player count.

    ***** The Crysis 2 Thread *****

    Maybe I am just easily pleased but I thought the demo plays really well. Yes it is a console port, but graphics IMHO look pretty sweet and the demo runs well on my modest PC. The two maps both seem interesting and a nice diversion from "real world" settings in BFBC2 and CoD. Just hope the...

    Happy Days :) Looks like the BT issues have been fixed and the game is running smooth as silk. Any chance of joining the OCUK guild ?

    Rift: Planes of Telera Beta

    /sigh Still no fix for BT users - despite Trion's efforts ping is still 121k and the game unplayable due to BT's throttling of the bandwidth :( here's hoping we get a fix over the weekend as BT's throttling lasts from 9am to Midnight at weekends

    Rift: Planes of Telera Beta

    Looks like the port issue has not been fixed with BT - as soon as 7pm arrives latency goes through the roof due to their traffic shaping. Currently 197160ms ! Lets hope for a fix soon :) One thing pointed out above that seems really odd is that health and mana is restored so quickly - almost...

    Rift: Planes of Telera Beta

    First impressions - very good game with lovely graphics. Sadly lag has increased as the evening has worn on and the game is current unplayable using BT ISP. Let's hope Trion and BT can come up with a solution quick :) edit : link to Rift forums...

    BT BB Disconnects when phone rings

    :(Recently my BB has started to disconnect and reconnect when I make or receive a phone call. The restarts are causing my IP Profile to dip back to a silly 135k and stay there. This happened last month and after several calls to the guys in India they reset my IP profile back to 3400k and sent...
