If anyone is interested I bought the new Airport Extreme and it is bloody amazing. I have a 4965bgn card in my laptop and can now transfer at 20MB/s (yes megabytes) on 5ghz, 40mhz width. Average speed is never less than 15MB/s over gigabytes of data. Range seems good but my house has walls...

It must be on a desk or flat surface, I don't think it would be a problem. I have played for hours on end with mine (and I've had two), heavily overclocked GPU and not had an issue. It hits 90+ degrees but survives. I am still using A08 because I don't want the fan noise and only game...

I have two of them now, both disabled AAM via Hitatchi Feature Tool (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm) You need to set it to maximum performance(253/254), not disabled with the WD10EAVS. With the WD10EACS disabled is actually disabled, this seems not to be the case with the...

I got two WD10EAVS yesterday when I wanted WD10EACS. They chart just like you drives, faster than my four platter WD10EACS but with a 20ms access time. As Cyber-Mav says, the access time is high because these drives are meant for PVR's and need to be quiet Simply adjust the AAM to peformance...

I have the T200 and T220, both work fine in Vista 32 MCE. Bundled apps are ok but I only ever use VMC. I'm pretty sure the drivers are the same across most of their cards, so you should be ok!

XP Pro can only support 5 concurrent network conenctions - is that ok? You don't need a CPU anywhere near that good, just get a E2xxx or even a Celeron. You should buy the Raid Edition versions of the drives if you are doing RAID 5 for their TLER ability. I think you should just mirror...

No VT support on the E4500.

Quick and dirty option, which will be frowned upon, is to create matching accounts on the server and client. So for eg. I login to my XP box as "magsy/password123" Now on the server create an account called "magsy" and give it the password "password123" Assign the permissons to the...

I could not make a Vista image with Ghost version 8/8.2 or 'home' version 2003, there is a known problem with it. It maybe NTFS but it writes to sectors Ghost does not image by default and when you reboot Vista will not boot. You can either use a newer version of Ghost or tell Ghost to...

Any of them will do, I'm playing everything (Sky H264/Bluray/HD-DVD) on a Pentium M 1.73ghz due to the acceleration of the ATI HD 2400.

Needed something to tide me over, so I had an Overclockers B-Grade DS3, E2140 and OC own cheapie 2x1gb PC6400 kit turn up today! Seems to hit a wall at 400, or maybe a hole because it won't boot at all but will start fine at 399. No amount of voltage (1.5v vcore) makes it boot, I've tried up...

On all my Intel mobile cpu based Vista machines, setting the power profile to 'balanced' ensures the cpu steps down. I can see it change in cpu-z so for me, 'it just works' :) No 3rd party software at all.

Ghost is easy off a CD/DVD, networking it however can be a PITA. Unless you boot it in a Windows PE environment you will be messing about with DOS drivers. Do what the #2 post suggests and don't forget or skip the sysprep stage. Use a corp version of Windows too. RIS is king but you...

I think you just dont have the fit right. I have E3c's and I know what you are describing well. Play with the tips, warm them or nead them. Try to lube your ears (lick fingers or something!) or wet the tips and push them in deep. You will get used to the fit in the end. If they are not in and...

How low profile is it? The USFF? Mine has a Radeon X700 and a special splitter cable that goes into the single DVI socket on the card - it came with the PC.

Life is about choices and not restricting freedom, people seem to see the way forward is to ban everything and narrow everyones choices into a small tunnel. The world is going to suck really badly when we are told what to do 24/7. Yes this is nowhere near that but we are going that way. All this...

I used to have a sausage roll or pastie every morning from the canteen, then almost every day for five years I had a chip butty with gravy and a sausage in batter for dinner :D My parents are decent people and we always had more money than most in my area but my mother didn't cook, my father...

You might be thinking of DSG on the Audi's, which can skip gears on the way down. Tee BMW system will drop through each gear I believe, it may not lift the clutch (and blip) but it will cycle through them all. You pull the paddle multiple times and it shifts multiple gears at once, it does not...

Yea, that would be 'Steptronic', a stick only controllable full auto gearbox. It is acutally quite good for an auto. You can get an aftermarket paddle set for that gearbox too - just to make it more confusing.

Looking through some old borchure pdfs it seems they cannot make up their mind, it is called SSG or SMG depending on mood! Either way, to be avoided :)
