Thanks, I'll take a look!

Hi, Looking for a recomendation. I need a 350W min PSU with the 4+4 pin connector for the motherboard. My only other need is a slightly longer lead for the 4+4, I need it to be about 40cm. Budget is about £50 Thanks!

Hi again, Well no dice either way as the 4Pin gets fowled on the gfx card and does not reach. However I found an extension so I'll have to wait for that to be delivered Thanks!

Hi all, Been out of the hardware game for a while so I'm not sure about this. I bought this motherboard hoping to use a few of my older componants to keep my build costs cheaper. However I have just hit a potential snag, the PSU in the old machine was a 450W so I was hoping to use it and its...

Sorry where?

Just seen that, is the OC price including or excluding the cash back? If its not including then it will only be £5 over my budget

Yea then thats no good. Without that the VM OS just go around in a loop. I'll look in to the AMD, as its something I need I'll have to find a way.

Cheers!

Sure, I thought I'd ask about the CPU first as it dictates everything else but it is better if we can get it done in one hit The plan is to get a working PC with a mixture of older componants and new, then upgrade over then next few months. I have a working HDD, GFX card (PCI-e), case, PSU...

Thanks, The i3 had caught my eye but I was struggling to find comparitive benchmarks. To be honest I am not overy fussed either way with AMD or Intel. Traditionally I have had AMD, but its all about the best CPU not the badge on the dye.

Hi, Been out of the loop for a while and now I am all at sea with hardware etc. Need to build a new system on a budget so I am looking at spending about £100 on a CPU. At the moment the only real spec must have is the ability to do proper harware virtulisation, but I am guessing that is...

I'll be going for 7 Home 64bit.

Yea I know there was a 64 bit version of XP - IIRC its a little patchy. Also I'll be buying a new version of Windows so 7 really is the only option. I got better frame rates in UT 2007 by having a gaming only boot of XP barebones edition so my knowledge is coming from first person experiance...

Really? I got a lot better results by having a gaming only version of XP bare bones. I only really will use Windows for games as I have a Linux install for everything else. Its been a while since I messed with PC games (I know, but I had no space) and I'd like to squeeze every bit of performance...

Hi, A few years back I installed a Windows XP barebones edition that stripped everything out of a windows install that was not required to play games. I am wondering if there is a Windows 7 equivalent out there? Thanks -Howard Webb

Hi, Thanks for the response. As an example: say I had a tab delimited text file containing the following dog,cat,horse,cow,bird,worm I would like to search using a list like below: dog,cow and for it to return the hits. The reason for this is I would like to search for a...

Hi, I'm looking for a free text editor that can search for a list of key words in a tab delimited text file, can anyone recommend one? Failing that could it be done via the use of macros in Excel? Thanks in advance -Howard Webb

Cheers for your help ........ I'll give it a try and see how things go!

Well its a laptop and a relativly new-ish one (about 18 months) but I can't remember the CPU and I'm in work but I think its a Intel Core 2 Duo P8600. I would use the extra RAM when running VMs/VPCs so that would be nice. Ideally I'd like to go up to 8GB (and I would use that) but the cost is...

Hi, I'm thinking of making the jump in to the lovely world of 64 bit but I have a question. What is the system overhead on the OS like running the 32 bit version of Windows XP vs the 64 bit Windows 7? I have 4GB of RAM in my systems and was kinda hoping that the extra resources Windows 7...
