oh lol. Could be tricky then! I'd always presumed it was able to take two cards. Huh. Well thankyou for your time. I'll see about getting it in the new year I think then! ;)

Thanks. So they are my options. Obviously buying another card like I have is a lot cheaper - they go for nothing on auction sites. Would I have to get an exact absolutely identical match or would any GeForce 8800 GT 512MB do? If I was to buy that flex card - (although is there nothing cheaper...

I have the following system which I built from the help of your guys two or three times now over the years: Windows 7 Pro 64bit Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 2GHz GA-P35-DS3L Intel P35 Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2) DDR2 6400C4 800Mhz GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 2 x 22" monitors 200GB Sata Be Quiet! Straight...

Ok thanks for the imput!

Oh I see! So what you are really saying is that anything for around £100 is good at 19"? I get free delivery here at OC - so I quite like using them especially for the heavies! I wondered about this one: Samsung P2050...

I can't find that one on the site. Why that one above any of the others?

Hi, my Dad is getting my young brother a monitor and he asked me for some advice. He'll be using it for gaming. I have a Dell 2209WA and it's awesome, but that would be too expensive and too big for him. He wants a 19" or 20" monitor with a price tag of under 150. Can someone recommend the...

My current rig is below and I hope to buy Windows 7. I will be using two monitors and gaming with Flight Simulator X. The current memory is cheap and runs fine with XP. Do I need 4GB for Windows 7 or would I see improvement going for 8GB? Should I spend a bit more to get more expensive 4GB...

Ok - thanks for that. I do find it strange that MS are offering the Pro for no extra charge. Who and why would anyone buy the premium then? Very odd.

Ah, so the premium one can be installed on a computer with no OS and the pro one can only be installed on an computer with an existing OS. Is that correct? It is imporant I get it right! Thanks

Can someone tell me if I pay £60 or £30 from the ultimate steal offer of MS. It says you can upgrade to pro for £30. Do I need to first buy the premium one for £30 and then buy the pro upgrade for £30? http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/studentoffer/ Thanks

I intend fixing that, when I upgrade to Windows 7. XP doesn't let you stick more than 3gigs in I don't think.

Thanks for that. I was looking at the Matrox triplehead2 as well. I think I'll just buy one more and run two monitors for now!

Hi, I would like to know if my current set-up will allow me to use three monitors for flight simulation; see here: http://www.fsinsider.com/product/learning/Documents/Using%20Multiple%20Monitors.pdf What I want to know is; is it possible and how to do this on my rig? Or do I need to start...

When you ask for something in the relevant forum, does it usually come? I have asked for several things and a week later the threads have only been viewed twice!!

Some of you will remember my 'process of elemination' thread the other day asking for a recommendation on a PSU. To all those in the thread below that suggested I should try a new PSU first in my quest to find why the computer wasn't working deserve a big pat on the back! It was indeed the PSU...

Thanks, I'll order that one. Let's hope it is the PSU - I guess I'll have to replace the processor next if it doesn't work!

This is my issue! PSU's just aren't as strict as processors or graphics cards in that the more you pay the better you get argument. If I buy this £60 one will it be ok to buy one of the good GTX cards later on?

Ah that's very useful. Can someone enlarge on the benefits though of going for a £100 PSU or a £60 one?

Could you explain what modular is and its benefits?
