The new games explorer appears a rather nifty tool so far, and I have to admit I do like the downloaded box art, no matter how pointless it is! I have noticed some odd behaviour though, for example, I installed all my total war games, from Shogun to Medieval 2, and Games Explorer picked up...

Thanks for the speedy responses all, glad option C) is possible! Does anyone have any experience with Steam regarding this sort of thing. I.E. can i move the folder to my games partition, then just put it back after Vista install? I'm guessing no, but really don't want to go through all...

I searched, but couldn't find an answer to this precise question. I currently have a 200gig hard drive, split into two 100gig partitions. One partition contains windows XP and various utilities (and steam, grrr), the other my games, pics, etc. Now i want to get rid of windows XP, and...

I built a new system including the titular component last week. Browsing the DFI website today I came across this little gem: 30002576 Why USB 2.0 device transfer speed is the same as USB 1.1 on Lanparty NF4 series boards? 2005/02/05 Answer : This symptom might occur in Windows...

Hi, I just built myself a system, main details: DFI lanparty Nf4 Ultra-D X2 4400 X1800xt 2x 1gb geil value ram I'm thinking of getting 2 more sticks of 1gig ram. Is there really any point in this, will i notice much difference or is it just being silly? Also, would it work...

Ahh ok, understood. Thanks for the advice!

Hi, I recently built a new system, incorporating the powercolour x1800xt card. When setting my refresh rate (tft screen) it won't allow me to go above 75 hertz. This is with the 'allow only monitor supported refresh rates' tick on. The weird thing is, with my old card (6600GT) and the...

Thanks for your replies. Bubbysoup - I'm a little confused by what you said. Did you mean to get the Nforce if i was only ever going to have 1 gpu, and the crossfire/wait for the RD580 if i was considering 2?

Hello, Very quick question My new system is based around an Athlon x2 4400, 2 gig of geil value and a X1800XT graphics card. No Overclocking. Should i get this mobo: Asus A8R-MVP Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-129-AS) or this: Asus A8N-E nForce4 Ultra (Socket...

Really? I initially chose a nv4 board: (the Asus A8N-E nForce4 Ultra (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard) But the people over in the motherboards forum told me to go for a xpress2000 crossfire board instead.... Almost thought I was done, but confused all over again now!

Great, cheers!

Ooh yes, thanks, thats a very nice case. One question - what is a 'midi-tower'?? does that not mean that it will be a bit too small for all the gubbins i am trying to fit in? Or has technology moved on since my youth and does 'midi-tower' just mean 'normal-tower'? Thanks!

Hello, I'm putting together a new system (with a lot of help from these boards), and am onto the final piece of the puzzle - the case. I'm looking for the best tower I could get for around £50-70 . I would like black or aluminium finish, and preferably as full of understated cool as...

Hehe fair point. It's something I will be looking into in the future

Sorry, not planning on overclocking... Thanks Jezzag, 200mhz sounds useful. I'm just currently questioning the £100 increase in price over the 3800.

Very quick question, Is the x2 4400 worth the extra £100 over the x2 3800? This is for a Non-Overclocking gaming system Thanks

Hello, I'm looking to spec a full new system, so i thought i should start with the motherboard. You all seem very knowledgable so i thought i'd ask for some assistance My requirements: I would prefer to use an Athlon-compatible board over Intel. The motherboard needs to be the most...
