    Arrgh - Fire alarm!!

    Worst I ever saw in res halls, candle in bathroom for mood lighting, underneath aerosol can, left to percolate for a while, then BOOOM, trashed two rooms, and the guy sitting at his desk three rooms to the side was physically moved backwards, along with the wall. Nice mess to tidy up that was...

    France vs Scotland (spoilers)

    Saw the result this morning couldnt believe it! Sweet goal too, okay so the goalie got a weak wristed hand to it, lovely turn and finish tho. Yes now I hope we dont self destruct against freakin Georgia, a draw by the Itals, or a poor result by the French would be very very welcome!

    P35_DSR3 SATA and XP

    Yes but to utilise command queuing on the hard drives, you need to set the controller to AHCI in the Bios, before install, then load the AHCI driver from the floppy.

    Lots Gigabyte P35 DQ6 problems

    I have same ram in the P35 DS4 with E6850, and have no issues at all. Even with the ram set to default voltage I could boot up fine, however you do need to +3 it in the Bios to set it to 4 4 4 12. Are your drives set to AHCI or Raid in the bios correctly? Did you install the Raid drivers...

    First Internet Experience

    Yes the online bulletin boards used to be loaded with it, at 14.4k it was generally painful. In 94 there were plenty of sites up and running, including most of the brand name mags were there. What was also interesting was there were stacks of sites very openly dishing out hacked passwords for...

    First Internet Experience

    Some time in 94, working for a Uni in London, I had a full tilt T1 connection via Janet in my flat. Netscape Navigator was the browser of choice, and if I had the money I knew internet shopping was going to take off, but didnt know what to sell or how to set it up! grrr

Lived in most of the time...had a great time apart from pesky students setting off the fire alarm at 2am. Oh and the stories I could tell :) Yes I...

    GA-P35-DS4 help for newbie!!!

    Interested in how you go with this, as I have the same issue pretty much. To get the PC to run from cold boot, I need to jumper the CMOS reset with the power off, then power back up, reset the memory settings in the Bios before the PC will actually boot. Quick question on the secondary PSU...

    P35 DS4 owners?

    Yup cntrl+f1 then gives you the extra options to access memory speeds, voltages etc. My board seems to running fine no issues so far. Getting the Zalman 9700NT on was interesting. Had to do a Bios short out with power off though to get it to boot the first time. All running well after that

    Long weekend in London advice?

    If you like Sushi, try Ghili Gulu (sp) just off Covent Garden, great eat as much sushi as you want buffet. Use to be about 12 quid, but then it was a few years since I lived in London! Walk down the Kings Road from Sloane Square and enjoy the shops, and have a glass of wine outside at the Blue...

    First build vague review/overlook(56k warning)

    I always found the best way to do the front case connectors was to take two cables that have a same colour wire, say one black and orange another black and red. Now look at the manual and it will tell you what the pins are for, for each switch header of the two you have selected. The two that...

    360: plug and charge kit or normal rechargables ?

    With the plug and charge kit, you can connect the USB end to your PC/laptop which will also charge the battery pack. You cant actually use the wireless controller with the PC via this, but you can charge the pack. I find it useful if I'm using the PC for a while rather than having the lead in...

    360 Live downloading gets stuck!?

    Been having issues with downloading from 360 live. Tried a few diff demos, and its starts out going straight to 5%, then sits there. Usually if I cancel and restart it jumps to like 50% then again sits there, then eventually I get a screen saying your download was cancelled. On 1.5meg ADSL so...

    The Oblivion 360 Thread

    Got it midnight last night, Oz time at the xbox 360 launch. Played through the first inside section as quickly as possible to see the outside world, its gorgeous :) Controls on the 360 are very intuitive for what in my book is a mouse and keyboard realm. Total play time of only about an hour...
