    Next gen consoles vs PC hybrid?!?

    The problem is it's harder to sell to consumers then. A Console is perceived as limited because it is designed for a single thing and does that well, PCs are designed to do everything you want. If you took a gaming PC and gimped it and called it a console you'd probably find users getting angry...

    Opinions on build idea

    I went with the following in the end: After putting it together I've noticed that the i7 does seem to be running a little hot. I thought I'd give the stock cooler a punt and see if it's any good and survey says no. I'd rather not spend more than say £50 on one but I'd prefer it to be around...

    Opinions on build idea

    I've reworked the build around a 1156 core i7 860. It's a hard decision between the 860 and a 930. I'll probably never use Crossfire so the only advantage I can see in the i7 930 is maybe getting a slightly higher overclock, which to me would be pretty negligible. Would triple channel ram...

    Opinions on build idea

    I have thought about AM3 but I decided that an i7 is a much better processor and the difference in price between an i7 and i5 isn't that much. I've looked at the Benq but no HDMI is a bit strange for a new LED Monitor. I'd rather get 23" at that res as well as it'd be crisper. Sandy...

    Opinions on build idea

    Hi, In the next week/week and a half I plan on getting a new PC and I need some help settling on a build. I currently have: Core 2 Duo E4300 @ 3.0GHZ 4GB Corsair Value Ram MSI 650i SLI Motherboard Dodgy Samsung DVD writer XFX ATI HD4870 1GB Antec Earthwatts 500 watt PSU (about 3...

    HP 2310i or alternatives?

    You could try getting a Dell U2311H which is ~£260 but is an e-IPS panel. Whilst it's not Glossy it'll look pretty good next to your Mac and has the added benefit of a Display Port on it, meaning you can just get a mini Display Port -> Display Port cable for your Mac. I'm looking at that...

    Display 'shakes' when moving the mouse

    These are the resolutions the TV apparently supports. Catalyst Control does have TV Resolution Settings that you can use, try running 1920x1080p @ 60Hz and see if that works.

    Can't make up my mind.(need the experts again)

    So the Ram is Dodgy... That could cause weird problems. But it's easier to upgrade. If you plan on getting Windows 7 the 64-Bit Version is nice, you don't lose anything really as there's a 32-Bit Compatibility layer for 32-bit applications (And Windows XP mode in Windows 7 Professional)...

    firewire device stopping windows booting

    USB's can hang booting straight after post if they have an MBR on them but Firewire shouldn't. Is it Bus Powered or does it have an external Power Adapter?. It could be that you're close to the maximum power output of your PC and Windows is hanging because of it. I also recommend to be...

    How much is worth my pc ?

    It won't be worth as much as you'd probably like, sadly. There's a well known parts exchange shop that might be able to help you, look them up on Google and try their Price checker. If there's one near you that is.

    Borked LAN port? :/

    It depends, If he installed Windows 7 then it auto installs the Nforce Drivers, but they might not be the most up to date ones and could have a known issue. It's still the easiest thing to check.

    Borked LAN port? :/

    You could try reinstalling the Nforce Drivers and see if that helps.

    PC for converting/burning dvds/cds + downloading

    You can get Duplicators if you look around, Most Websites that specialise in selling DVD/CD-R's will have them. See if they fit your needs.

    3D DISCOVER Glasses

    Don't you need a 120Hz Monitor to use it properly? I'm sure I've read somewhere that that's a requirement. I believe it was Samsung that had the only model that was "Certified" by Nvidia. It seems like a little bit of a gimmick to me.

    Yuraku.. Support need help!

    Is it still within the original 12 months warranty? if so, they probably mean that you need to contact the shop where you bought it from. It'd be easier to go through a shop to RMA to be honest as they'll have to do all the work for you. If it's out of the 12 months but under 3 years, then...

    £400-£500 Spec help please :)

    There won't be a MASSIVE difference at the resolution your TV will run at to be honest. If you want to be on the safe side I'd go for the XFX as it's double the ram and only £7 more.

    ERRR.... Have I done something stupid?!?!

    Yeah, you can use Disk Management to format the drive and assign a drive letter. Windows has OK drive management built in so I wouldn't worry, it's simple enough.

    ***The Official ATI Radeon HD 5850 / 5870 Reviews and Discussion Thread***

    There are other things to consider though. A) The Card is A LOT less power hungry than the 295. B) The Drivers tested are Beta Drivers, They will only improve with Age. C) It's Still cheaper than the 295.

    Spec Review/Suggestions (£600)

    You wouldn't see much performance increase by switching to a Q9550 and the AM3 Socket has far more longevity than Socket 775 . The i5 is worth it over an AMD (Just slightly) but the Board cost is higher. For the Q9950 you're looking at a Socket 775 board which you'd be able to get for...

    £400-£500 Spec help please :)

    It just depends how much you really want to play Blu-Ray's. Quad Core is Hit and Miss, it really depends on what you want to use the computer for. For gaming a Quad Core doesn't really offer an advantage over a fast Dual Core as the majority of games aren't Multi-threaded yet. They will...
