Well that's great. So to reach my 6GB target I'd have to have 4x2GB identical modules (which run in dual channel mode?) 8GB is a bit excessive, I'd probably stick with 4.

After noticing my once impressive processor is now virtually the cheapest processor OCUK sells, I've decided to upgrade. My main priorities are: quad core, 6GB RAM, with no overclocking. I only need CPU, mobo, and RAM. I think I7 is overpriced so I've opted for a Phenom II system: AMD...

But I only have a 500W PSU, nowhere near enough for an SLI setup I'm sure. I could get a new PSU and still be within my budget, but I like my silent efficient Seasonic and there's no need to upgrade it if I get just one card. I thought 2.0 was backwards compatible with 1.0, and ATI's...

I don't really care about my 'ePeen' (something which I had to google to find out what it meant) My current graphics card is an ATI X300 which only just manages to play strategy games at 1280x1024. I bought it when I upgraded to my new rig, and lacking funds for a new gfx card, I just bought...

Do I have to (somehow) attach that 120mm fan to the Accelero, or will my current 120mm rear case fan suffice? I waited for the This Week Only changeover and this 4870 stands out: Asus ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 £187.99 inc VAT (2nd cheapest 4870 but with a 3 year warranty with Asus)...

I'm looking for a new graphics card. I've never had a decent one, so I'm definitely not a serious gamer. What concerns me is noise, therefore I'm looking for a silent-ish card. (Assuming silent is water/passively cooled, whereas silent-ish involves whacking a better gpu cooler on it) All...

I have a managed c++ dll and i want to add summary comments to methods like so.... /// <summary> /// This method does... /// </summary> /// <returns>a string</returns> String^ GetSomething(){ .... } But this does not add the correct metadata to the dll. Is there a special way of...

I'm renting a flat in victoria, london. The TV aerial socket doesn't work but as I'm reasonably close to the Crystal Palace transmitter, I'm hoping an indoor aerial would do the job. This seems to predict its possible: http://www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe?DX=L&HT=10&OS=sw1 Any...

I know this is a longshot, but does anyone know of an official webservice which gives details of tube times. (which returns xml or raw data) Like this: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/departureboards/tube/default.asp?LineCode=bakerloo&StationCode=MYB&Go=Go&switch=off I could read...

Just north of Oxford St. (the West side) It's listed as being in Mayfair, but i think that side of oxford street is Marylebone. What are the water bills like? Are you paying the yearly rate, or metered?

Yeah i didn't think it would be any different. I've never paid for electricity before, so the info's still helpful.

Yes? All these prices seem about right. Although I doubt I'll be able to match BrightonBelle's £22/month. Especially as I drink tea a lot :(

I'm moving to London soon, will be renting a studio appartment in the city of Westminister. Can anyone tell me how much their electricty bill is per month? And the number of people are living there, and estimated usage etc. I doubt Electricity varies by much in Westminster from any other...

line 29 is basically frm = new frmMain(); frmMain() errors out at the layout code for the form. I'm sure its just not finding the GroupLayout class.

I've played around with the classpath but still can't get it to run: the Manifest file inside the jar contains the following: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5 Created-By: 1.6.0-b105 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) Main-Class: CarHire.Main X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added...

They can't/won't. Due to the amount of red tape just to get anything installed. What is the correct class path to use?

I've done a Java project using netbeans using the JDK1.5. It builds and creates a jar file which runs fine on my pc. However when I move it to the uni computers it doesn't work: (The uni computers hav JDK1.4 installed with netbeans 5.0RC2, but they also have JRE1.5) I get the following...

The specification states i must keep track of all active threads and notify the user if one terminates. This is the ideal approach. Coming for a C# background i would prefer to set up an event which signals the main thread asynchronously that the child thread is closing. The main thread could...

I'm mainly talking about the cleanup of the actual thread itself. I am right in assuming if the thread stops it won't be garbage collected if something still holds a reference to it. (it doesn't matter about the intialisations inside the thread, they are aleardy cleaned up when it terminates.)...

My main thread creates new threads in a while loop as they are needed. To store the threads i keep them in a arraylist so i can reference them later. But i want the main thread to clean up any threads which have stoped, and i can't think of a reasonable way todo this: I can't use join, as...
