Thanks for all the replies! Yes, I was planning on taking advantage on the current special offer on the 6600K (hence it beingg cheaper than the 6600). Even the 6400 (2.7mhz) to the 6600K (3.5mhz) seems like a significant enough difference to be worth the £35 extra? My (admitedly) out of date...

Hi, Christmas present for someone that has all the peripheries.... I'm already at pretty much max budget. The recipent will not be gaming on they system. System will also not be overclocked, but otherwise want it to be as fast, reliable and have the most modern port and upgrade options as...

Great, thanks Stulid! Do you think that there would be no benefit from a dedicated graphics card based on his requirements then, even if running two screens? Also is it pretty much plug and play using motherboard and card to power different screens? For some reason I thought (and this may...

Hi Stulid, Yup, lots of tabs in Chrome (and probably Skype and several dozen other apps sitting in the background!!). Haven't bought the monitors yet so imagine they will be HMDI these days? if you have any suggestion on that would appreciate your advice but more stuck on the core...

Hi, Hoping I might be able to rely on you guys to come up with some good build suggestions.... haven't been keeping up with hardware for a couple of years and don't know where to start. It will mainly be used to deal shares with and will have a minimum of two screens in use, but would...

Thanks Chiggz, just what I was looking for. It looks like both India and UK on 2100 frequency for 3G. Thank you for your help!

Hi, As title really. Will be in India for a month and want to take my phone with me and be able to use google maps and the internet. With T Mobile currently and requested the network unlock code but more worried about whether the frequency settings on a UK model will work with the Indian...

Not that you aren't a reliable contributor Castiel but do you have a link or is this just based on not seeing poppies in these stores?

If you really want to show your appreciation how about a donation to the department so they can carry on helping others as well as they helped you? Their likely to be a registered charity. You could do a sponsered event if money is tight. That and a well written thank you note would probably be...

Ahhh Seems like Sky is going to be the way to go. roughly £40 connection £11.25 phone rental £10 unlimited broadband with first 3 months free on 12 month contract and apparently no "fair usage" clause! BE* seemed ok but for some reason they have an issue installing a line on that...

Hi guys, Hope some of you kind people can give me some help. Really need some advice on broadband providers please - Had a look around and it just seems to be far too confusing to work out which would be the best company to go for now.... This will be my nearest exchange...

Hi, hope some of you wonderful people might be able to help me..... Built a PC for my father about 3 or 4 months ago. Not used very much yet but already broken. As Windows just completly and absolutly refused to load/restore it either has to be software corruption or HDD errors. i think...

Thanks Guys! So Cat.... Do you think that the onboard would be able to cope with 2x 24inch screens? and if so do I not need a graphics card? Or on the other hand could I save money by going with a cheaper motherboard that doesn't have onboard? I couldn't find an AMD one that has two PCI 2...

Hoping all you fine chaps (and fillys) might help me with a spec check. Been about 2 years since I researched my build so I'm not as up to date as I used to be, especially with AMD based builds, and I've been asked to knock together a pc for my father. PC may be used for website design...

Not a chance -:D this is OcUK! Your more likely to see my efforts of photoshopping my naked body on that bed in the previous post offered up for critique than that letter.

She was studying in the UK at the same uni as me. I'm not expecting an emailed gift to improve the situation. Its a slim chance but I am hoping that as we both still love each other that she will come back. this involves her leaving her family effectively so obviously it is a big decision and...

yup thats the end goal I guess. That will require her giving up all contact with her family though so need her to feel confident enough in me to make that commitment. There are a few bridges to be mended there as well. In the meantime I'm looking for an appropriate gesture.

thanks but unfortunatly the UK government has no jurisdiction over Indian citizens in India and emotionally coerced/blackmailed might be a more accurate description.

we were together three years until about a year ago. I'll obviously write an email. Can't sing and play guitar very badly so that is not going to cut it. I'm really looking for an actual gift but that can be passed on through email. Like naming a star. just as an example Red bull racing a...

Because she is being forced into an arranged marriage and she probably won't appreciate the interrigation from her family that a dozen roses will cause. email is all I have.
