    E7400 to E8500

    I'm running the 7400 at stock, as will I run the 8500. Still haven't got round to reading up and learning how to overclock properly yet.

    E7400 to E8500

    Got a bit of spare cash and am wondering if I will see much performance difference if change the e7400 for a e8500 on the rig in my sig. I mainly play Wow, watch movies and do a little bit of video editing/converting to dvd. I don't feel I need to upgrade my grafs card, because Wow settings...

    Mailing a motherboard with HSF attatched?

    Totally agree. A couple of horror stories for you.... I work across the road from the local citylink depot and have seen many cringeworthy moments, once they were moving a couple of very large flat screen tvs across the depot on a sack truck. The tvs fell over and smacked into the floor with a...

    All up and running now. Really easy to configure, just had to call aol cos I needed to confirm username. Very nice router too I must add. Out of stock here at OcUK atm, but if anyone's looking for a new easy to use router, wait til they're back in stock and get one. If I can sort it anyone can...

    Impatient me got bored waiting for aol to deliver whatever they decide to send me. Will probably be the cheapest pile of poo they can get away with anyway, so I bought one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-081-LS&groupid=46&catid=1012&subcat= I like the look of...

    Despite my lack of knowledge, I think the router stopped working when I first used it with the original computer; dropped connection, couldn't reconnect, router wouldn't talk to pc. Now my new comp can't see it either. All the same symptons, all the same bull**** with helpline. I reckon...

    Bit of an adventure this afternoon/evening, left me feeling more than a little bit jaded. You're right with the lights sequence FatRakoon. They all came on, but it seems the computer isn't recognising the router...I think. Since my last post, I've followed the manual and even tried to get the...

    Mate, thanks a lot for taking the time to help me out, it's very appreciated. I've got a feeling that the speedtouch is knackered. Weird though. It's got to be about 6 months ago since I used it last. It was working fine for a couple of weeks, then one night I was playing wow, got disconnected...

    FatRakoon. I've been messing about with the speedtouch for the latter part of yesterday and most of the morning today. Didn't get any joy, so I came here for advice on getting a new router, but if we can sort the speedtouch, it'll save me a few quid :D All 5 lights came on, but the WLAN one...

    That's really nice of you, thanks. I certainly will do that. Actually, I do own and have been struggling with a Thomson speedtouch st585v6 (supplied by aol) over the weekend. I did have it running ok for about a fortnight, well over 6 months ago, but it just dced and I couldn't get it up and...

    Main comp (vista 64 bit) and xbox360 downstairs in the front room. Son is getting my old pc (xp home) in his room, upstairs, back of the house. I truly haven't got much of a clue when it comes to networking, been using a BT voyager 100, that I got from aol umpteen years ago. Have been looking...

    Need advice on new build

    Thanks for your advice so far guys. Shall deffo be going for the Biostar, though still not too certain which cpu to get. Either the E8400, or 8500. As I said, I'm not bothered about overclocking, I just want a fast stable system. Will probably go for a Hitachi Deskstar P7K500, got a few nice...

    Need advice on new build

    Gulp! I am out of touch :confused: What do you mean? I like the look of the Biostar m/b after checking out some reviews,it's a little more expensive but looks better. I should have put the prices in my original post, want to keep them as low as possible, get my new pc sooner, but I want the Bio...

    Need advice on new build

    Hoping for a bit of advice from others more knowledgeable than myself. It's been a long time since I've built a pc (my current rig is based on an Athlon xp3200 and was mid to high end when I made it, so that'll give you an idea of how old it is), and I am well out of touch with all the new...

    Yet another dual screen question

    Hi guys. Just need a bit of advice to see if it's worth trying to set it up. I have a spare 19" TFT hanging around doing nothing and am considering connecting it up as a secondary monitor. I would like to play WoW on my main Viewsonic, and have the 19" with firefox on display so that I can...
