The Uni I'll be going to is perfectly suited for laptops in lecture rooms & classes, and I won't be moving around the campus since it's mainly based in one building anyway so that's not a problem. I'm after a laptop alone - having a desktop too would be quite inconvenient for me. I've had a...

Battery life and weight isn't really an issue for me - my current laptop is almost never unplugged for more than an hour. It just needs to be easily portable so I can take it to lectures/friends houses easily. I'm a bit uncertain on the dual & quad core issue - I've heard that a lot of the...

Hey, I've been looking at laptops for quite some time and am having a lot of trouble. I would go for a 17" Macbook Pro since it seems to be the standard in the Graphic Design/Photography Industry, but it doesn't seem to be worth the money. What I'm after is a large display (17"+) which can run...

Hi All, When I am transferring large files from one of my storage hard drives to my primary hard drive they will start transferring at their maximum speed, about 160mb or so. But then the speed gradually degrades to almost nothing. Meaning the ETA on copying can go from 30 seconds...

Anyone received any BFG cards back during their changeover at the moment? Or heard from them at all? I sent my 2nd faulty RMA back to them last Tuesday and have heard nothing since. Called several times and been told they will call me back, which they havent.

Or not, just spoke to her... They have been delayed and they cant do anything to help. Processing will begin towards the end of this week however shipping will not begin until the start of next week. Saw that coming... I hope when it does eventually ship it is a working card.

It does not have a folded sticker, though the plastic at the bottom of the card is quite chewed up/dented, lord knows what its been through for it to have that. Maybe they put new stickers etc on them at their end. I can see the remains of old serial numbers where they have been peeled off at...

I am having a bad experience with BFG right now. 8800GTS died 2 weeks ago. 23/01/10: Contacted BFG and setup RMA for 8800GTS. 27/01/10: Recieved reply and shipped card to them for repair/replacement. 29/01/10: Recieved GTX260 which artifacts all over the screen. 30/01/10: Contacted BFG and...

I would love to do that, however I am concerned that if the motherboard or so is damaged it may cause further damage to a new graphics card which I may struggle to replace. Or is it only possible for the power supplies to cause damage to the graphics card? Otherwise this way seems a no brainer...

I have 2 Crucial 1GB DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Ballistix Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL4 Lifetime Warranty and 1 Generic 800MHz Kingston 2GB Stick. Cat, do you think it is worth me just buying a new PSU for now and saving the cash? Or could it have damaged the motherboard to the point it could...
