Thanks everyone for the helpfull info, think Im going to end up going with 12 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 CL9 DIMM Memory Kit (3 x 4 GB).

Also the main site for my current motherboard lists DDR3 2100+ Does this mean I have to go with that as a minimum or can I get away with lower Mhz speeds?

A friend mentioned that with my current setup I probably wont be able to above 4 Gb per RAM slot. I just wondered if thats true?

If I understand this correctly then. The more sticks you use the faster it is, as its acting like a lot of cable broadband using multiple downstream and upstream channels for greater speed? i.e. 2 x 8 Gb sticks would be slower than 4 x 4 Gb sticks : ) Just interested in wrapping my head...

Is there any advantage of dual over triple channel? Also Ill freely admit I know nothing regarding "DDR3 DIMM". Is this a specific type of DDR3 ram or will any old DDR3 I purchase work with my motherboard? i.e. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-049-AR or...

Hey peeps. I'm currently on a Gigabyte EX58-UD5 motherboard with 6 Gb RAM + i7 920 Processor. The board has 6 slots for RAM, 3 of which are in use, so I assume I'm currently on a 3 x 2 Gb setup. My User manual says "Be sure to install DDR3 DIMM's on this Motherboard" I use the...

Hi peeps Trying to find a good laptop for a friend who wants it primarily for video editing / photos and is looking for a lot of memory and good responsiveness. Though to be honest anything more responsive than their 7+ year old maxed out win XP brick is probably going to be a upgrade. : )...

Sorry about lack of reply s, been run off my feet a bit this week. They will most likely be using it on a kitchen table and size of screen tbh isn't something I really considered. I doubt it will be getting used much on the go and main reason they want a laptop over a desktop is 2 wee ones...

Out of interest does anyone know if I7 processors tend to overheat on laptops?

Thanks for the replys peeps. And yea they may not need it to be that powerfull to do what they are planning, but I much prefer better prepared for anything they decide to throw at it over cheaping out and getting somthing they have to replace in 1 year.

My brother and his wife are looking for a new laptop thats going to last a fair bit and do the following: Browsing (including streaming vids well) Word processing. Pictures. <- Decent storage as were talking a fair amount of pics. Camera built in. Good wifi connection. And they do want...

The OS realy shouldnt be the cause of slow download rates. Have you recently had your broadband speed upgraded? And have you tested download rates from a variety of sites using large files to get a better idea of your average transfer rate? Also if you have other computers is the same...

Another option you might want to consider is remove any extra usb devices, mics etc as I used to have an issue where my old pc wouldnt boot with my mic connected.

As for IE randomly deleting info Id recomend clear all temp files, cookies, history etc and try the reset option on the advanced tab. If this fails you may want to consider ripping out IE8 and then reloading it. If you do delete IE8 try loading Firefox first so that if it realy goes nuts...

Ok try the following linke for the last browser session issue: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/07/21/how-to-disable-reopen-last-browsing-session-in-ie8-internet-explorer-8/

To be quite honest this is how I and many others XP owners viewd Win Vista when it was first released. It was a tarted up version of XP with practically all the same options rebranded. Why do you think so many buisness's and home user's essentialy told microsoft to take a hike when they...

Id like to get anyones thoughts on these 2 fans as a choice for cooling an I7. Titan TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775/LGA1366) [TTC-NK85TZ http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-008-TI OR Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366)...

What Gord said. : ) Ipconfig /flushdns <- when you use this command it should come up with a message letting you know if it did it sucessfuly. The ipconfig /renew <- simply trys to renew your ip address/default gateway and often gives a more specific error if there is somthing going...

It depends on your type of broadband connection. ADSL Broadband = via the phoneline, in this case you usualy only have the 1 modem/router connecting to your telephone socket via a Filter that has 2 connections, one for the modem/router and one for the phone. Cable BB = via a cable modem...

Grats Heffer23 The fix you found is a bit weird, but as long as it works its all good. :) Just a gen add to your earlier querry. If your router connects to a cable modem or settop box you essentialy take the cable from that device and connect it straight to your pc. Then turn the...
