Hi everyone Our Dell 2800 is backed up onto USB2 drives and I was just wondering if it is likely that a SCSI to USB3 card would be made ? Is it even feasible ? As the Dell doesn't have PCI-express I can't fit a standard adapter. Thanks Dave

Dear all I want to leave an external drive connected 24/7 to our server and have successfully got a Sammy EcoGreen doing just that. The drive itself is barely luke warm but the external supply is quite warm. It's the 6 pin din power connection and I was wondering : a) Is there a...

4650 or 5450 ? Dear all Just about to order 4650s for our Dell Precision 380s but what about the new 5450 ? Its for business work involving mainly CAD (2D). What would you choose ? Also, connecting a HDMI port to a DVI monitor - do I just buy a cable and that's it ? Cheers DT

Sarge They are the P4 3GHz, running AutoCAD (mainly 2D though) + office etc. To be honest up to AutoCAD 2008 it's been managing on 1GB ram + Nvidia 1400 but we now want to install AutoCAD 2010. I'll take your advice on the 4650's and spend the extra on something else. Cheers DT

Dear all I have 3 Precison 380s that I am hoping to get a bit more life out of by memory and graphics upgrades. I am ok with upgrading the power supply and need to anyway if I need a PCI-E connector but I want to achive a balance betwen performance and power consumption. I like ATI...

Needs a macro Robbie I don't know if you are familiar with macros/VBA but that's the best way to solve things like this. The best thing to do is to record a macro and immediately end it and then Press Alt-F11. You should see "Module 1" listed on the left hand side and in that you should...

Cheers Pike Its a SAGEM Fast and I have the latest. I have a Draytek 2800 and although it is really a drop in the ocean, I'd rather not leave it running 356/24/7 even at 10 to 15W when there's only my pc. Not really bothered about download speed as I get 4.5 plus as it is and it works...

Dear all Running Vista 64 Ultimate here and have problems with slow USB transfer speeds to USB sticks (like many others). Anyone with W7 experienced such issues ? Also, I like to use the Sleep mode which in Vista has the well reported "some USB devices don't work after resume from sleep"...

Dear all For those who have taken part in the ATI 4870 mod by fitting an Accelero please have a peek inside your case as soon as. I did a spring clean yesterday and immediately on opening the case I found that the two heatsinks which cover the small chips (VRMs I think) were not doing...

Custom Format Hello mate It's a bit tricky, but right click, format cells, Custom. Then type 0.00" ''" This is not 3 double quotes but double quotes outside with a space and two single quotes inside. DT

Opted for Corsair I don't like to clog up the forums with too many messages but thanks to all who contributed. I really appreciate the time taken. I opted for the Corsair HX620 in the end and all is fine. Cheers DT

Creating a profile with ATI Tray Tools Vimes How did you create the "Morgan" profile shown on your screenshots please ? I just want the profile to do auto fan control but I can find where to create a new profile to include this. Thanks

Experiences I've changed a few and I've just a few more tips to add to those above : a) Make sure the mobo stand off pillars are tight in case you need to remove it again. You don't want the screws to turn and turn without coming out b) If fitting a new rear case fan with those vibration...

Please try and get these ... Gibbo Many thanks these are cracking offers but I only built my new system last month. A few of us are very interested in fitting these to our new 4870s so can you advise when and if you will be stocking them ...

VGA Cooler Fiasco Really you lot are a bit daft with all of these silly blunders. You would never catch me fitting an third party cooler to a 9800Pro (top card at the time) and then forgetting to tighten it up before fitting. Also, I would never sit there thinking "Oh there are some...

Turbo Module ? Thanks for the pix and comments. I want to do the same to my new Sapphire 4870 and so I wonder if you could take some "after pix" to show us the fan mounted and the heatsink that you've "adjusted" if it's not obscured by the cooler. Did you consider the twin turbo add on bit...
