Just for everyone's attention, this is my exchange: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WSCSS I'm really not exaggerating. :( No cable either. :( Appreciate all the advice here, I shall use it to make an informed decision. Thanks. Unfortunately, my view is of Greenock. :(

We're currently on Sky Connect and it's absolutely dreadful. There's little chance of any ISP installing their own equipment in our exchange, so what's my best option? (apart from moving) During the day I get pings of <50, but in the evening that goes up to <>300, and I'm invariably unable to...

I can't speak about Sky's LLU services, but Sky Connect is truly horrendous. I can't connect to Steam after 6pm, every day.

Great help guys, thanks for that. I'll have a think about the MSI, I have the money, it's just a case of justifying the outlay at the expense of saving to travel. Much obliged.

I'd be very grateful for any advice. I'm looking for a half decent gaming laptop to replace my ageing desktop (I'm planning on travelling) and I was looking at a custom build (built by someone else :P) along these lines: 18.4" sscreen i5-540M 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 HD 5165 500GB Western...

How does it compare to Kaspersky AV 2010? Time for renewal, wondering whether to change or not. Cheers.

Time for me to renew Kaspersky AV 2010 or choose something different. Looking at the AVC test results posted above, AVIRA seems to have the best combination of detection rate and scan speed (although it does pick out more false positives). Anyone tried it. I wouldn't say I'm particularly high...

Aha, what you said made something click in there. They were functioning as if the TV was side-by-side with the monitor, so I fiddled with Control Panel and set the TV as a clone of my monitor, and now it works perfectly. Much obliged.

Hi all. I'm having an odd problem with connecting my PC (Vista, 8800 GTS 640) to my Samsung LE40B650. My monitor is in screen one position and TV connected to slot two via a DVI to HDMI cable. I'm fairly certain I have nVidia Control Panel set up correctly, but all I'm getting through the TV is...

The 5770 is interesting me as well. Instead of posting a new thread...is an upgrade from an 8800 GTS 640MB a no-brainer?

I know this isn't what you asked, but I had a Deathadder and it was excellent, right up until I headbutted it. Then it didn't work. Just ordered a Lachesis, so we'll see how that compares.

Fantastic help guys, thanks for that. Going to order a DVI to HDMI cable right now. Got the TV yesterday - had to traipse all the way over to Edinburgh to get it - and I'm about to reconfigure (read: tidy) the place and set it up. Looking forward to it. codec: I really only intend to use it...

Thanks for that mate. Is there any reason why HDMI is prefferable to a standard connection? I'm pretty certain the TV has a VGA input, and my graphics card has a DVI output. Is a DVI to VGA convertor inferior to a DVI to HDMI cable?

So I'm picking up this little beaut tomorrow, with the intention of running my PC through it. Now, with a bit of careful living until I get paid in two weeks, I should have about £200 to spare. I'm thinking about getting this fella. Can anyone suggest whether it would be a good purchase...

I think I might just do that. Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to wait for info on these new Phenoms, then hopefully upgrade to one of them at the start of next year. Cheers.

I couldn't give you an accurate budget at the minute, because there are so many variables. I would think between £100 and £150 I'll probably leave the Graphics card for now. It's still a good card, not the best, but still good. It would be after Xmas anyway. Out of interest, what chips are...

Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but since it's the CPU I want to upgrade I figured it pop this in here. Got a PC In mid-2007: Asus M2N E SLi AMD X2 3800+ (AM2) 2GHz Corsair DDR2 8800 GTS 640MB PCIe My reasoning was, I wanted the best graphics card I could in my budget and I...

Visually, yes. Much better layout imo. As far as features are concerned, not sure, I've only had it 15 minutes :)

Hi all. I'm trying to set my page file in Vista Home Premium to 1024MB but whenever I try, I get a BSOD and the computer restarts. Essentially I want to set it to be one contiguous block. I'm clearing the page file before I try to set it manually. Any ideas?

Yes, you can. Product Update page. Just done this myself, thanks for the info.
