On the subject of memory, I ended up buying Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB 3600MHz 2x16GB DDR4 Memory Kit CMK32GX4M2D3600C18 Which seems to be working fine, about 2 months in. When I bought it, it was £150.98, it's now about £172.99. I hope that helps anyone who follows.

If people read the reviews they will see the answer to most of their own questions. The reason for the 16MB vs 32MB was that WD felt with their testing/profiling that they wasn't a justification for the increase in memory. So unless we have some harddrive designers in the house, maybe worth...

I tend to stick with the Storage review website for hard drive reviews. Not completely sure some of the others are that competent. Not only does it use less power, generate less noise (Quite a bit) its a real decent upgrade. I am not sure people should moan overly about the disk space...

I was thinking that I would have to do that. I am lucky that at least I have other components to cross match against if you know what I mean. Unfortunately 3 month old baby daughter is seriously limiting my testing time :)

I think all HD-DVD movies have it by default, since it is part of the standard.

The 2400/2600/2900 and 3850/3870 all have an audio chip on the graphics card which will allow you to output the audio on one cable HDMI, either to your TV or AV Amplifier. This means you don't have a cable going to graphics card. Though their maybe some benefits of using a standalone Audio card...

I am experiencing the same problem on my new media centre build. Additional sympton is that the boot up time a very long time. Its like its losing the CD/DVD drive during the boot up process. Its in the BIOS, and will install from it, then proceeds to lose it during the install process...

Has the Benq FP241WZ been superceeded by another model or another model from another manufacturer. Since I notice that its no longer stocked on overclockers.

Whats the ETA on the HD 2400's, ideally a slient version (To be used in a HTPC). Also any rough guide on expected price would be cool. Any idea's when any semi reasonable priced inbuilt HD-DVD drives are incoming, or should I expect to carry on with a the Xbox HD-DVD drive for a while yet ?

I personally would recommend keeping the previous gfx card I bought, as long as its the same format. I find that the GFX card is the most likely component to go pop, given the hammering it gets. So this way I always have my last card to pop back in while I RMA my latest card. Ok its never...

Good news... lets see the prices though. Its bloody expensive already.

I am interesting in a notebook and I wanted to know how the power usage of the 2 chips stack up. Any links to articles. Or in other words, whats the best cpu for a notebook.

I hate getting the shaft in the UK on prices... Its on bloody everything. Can someone explain why we are not getting dollar * exchange rate on items. The price of the PS3 is japan and US is a lot lower for instance.

Wil OC also be selling the HD-XE1. Which is the 1080p 1.3 HDMI version. If so at what price? I think you can go with either standard, since in a couple of years you will be able to buy a dual player. I would not say Sony have it in the bag. Not yet, they are betting a lot on shifting a lot...

Badass, Thats why I said I don't put much stock in it, until I see it down on a document I trust. I had read it in another thread, so I am always dubious of things like that. Since this screen is for use on a PC, which has an Nvidia card on it, the inbuilt 1:1 mapping is a moot point...

Just contacted Benq abotu th FP241WZ and its down for 5/12. Now I am not sure if it was in this thread, or one other, but the WZ has the 1:1 pixel built in. It was described as the multi media monitor. Not sure how much stock I put in that, until I see Benq post the exact specs. Though its...

I will probably wait until there 6 month refresh of the product, which I hope will provide the opportunity for the core chip to be manufactured on a smaller process. (NOTE - Note sure what the next step down is for Nvidia ... 65 or 80 nm) Which will "hopefully" reduce the power...

Has the price gone up ?
