if you go down this route, do look at a cheap (£10-20) grip as handling is much improved for the average guy with smaller entry level DSLRs

you could go 2nd hand. Always an option if you want something decent sub 100 notes. If you want something simple, robust and quite large: what about the canon G series, like the G6 or G9? solid lens and built quality, older now of course but still pretty good.

I've tried to use MPB but never found their prices too great. However, perhaps my estimate of the value of the items was a little more than realistic. For hassle free, they are good. Compared to the same transaction on WEX recently for which I quoted, MPB were better Also Facebook has a lot of...

i'm in the market for a 17-55 IS over the next two weeks. and I've seen them UK for about £650-£680 so add that to your calculations

I'm liking windows 7 I got a tangible hike in FPS whilst gaming moving from XP to windows 7 but that's also moving from xp 32bit to w7 64bit...either way, it's a worthwhile move.

gsce's a levels, degree (sciences) PhD never yet had a job for which I am actually qualified...daft isn't it. must plan!

hi, my media PC has started to whine like a right whiney thing I discovered that the ati x800 GTO AGP I put in there from another scavaged machine is running full pelt, from boot. so it's not accumulating heat although I will take it off later and see if it needs cleaning anyway I think the...

I'm interested in how this turns out a bit jealous?? yes, and I wouldn't spend this sort of money on a PC anyway (although a nice graphics card would be nice) however, I'm hoping that turboduck can revive the economy with his next purchase :) surely this forum and it's entire ethos is towards...

I had a customer a while ago that was using a workstation for 3d assembly at the time the 4gb of ram bits and pieces wasn't as popular or a common enough problem. as I recall we put 8 gigs of ram on the workstation and then he only had a 32bit O/S...DOH. there is a windows startup switch...

kk cheers, will go for a 3ghz a roony

I had a hiperR or something, died, machine was fine hiper replaced it 1 week later iirc new hiper has lasted ages

unplug all your peripherals apart from keyboard/mouse. hold down the power button for 30 seconds. and try again does it post at all? if you really want to test out the hardware get a copy of windows PE bootable from someone and you can check on the installation and hardware

any datasource that I can check the upper limits of the RAM or mobo FSB that others have achieved? I can't find anything yet

right, solved my problems with the overclock dropping... so...tested in prime95 and some games rather nicely so far Old C2D e6300 g33m-ds2r mobo from OCUK 2gb matched OCZ 6400 ram from OCUK Latest BIOS. running at 2.8 Ghz at the mo. (only have x7 and x6 multipliers available) 45oC...

lol, found this in an unrelated search... update for the archives. problem solved....the TB ext USB HDD was causing a reboot when clocking I think. either power consumption or searching for a bootable ext unit. BIOS settings changed to disabling USB legacy devices. now running at 1600FSB...

I had a problem, E6300 that worked at 2.45 and nicely stable. then it rebooted on post, default settings, unclocked. GA mobo. anyway have you got an external harddrive or printer plugged in via USB that has storage devices on it?? if so unplug it and try it out. if that works change your...

ahem, a truly floppy floppy as I recall was that 5.25 inch the 3" compact was 'ard and the precursor to the 3 1/2 of the PC era.

jeez. Amstrad 6128 :p colour monitor, built in floppy drive... oh yeah! 486 DX2/50 4mb ram P1 90 p2 333 I think P3 550 (o/c to 615 or something) slot 1 P3 1ghz socket and then a tuliatan core if anyone remembers those AMD 1700 I think in there somewhere AMD ahtlon 2500+ (o/c to 3200+ now...

ran memtest from a bootable disk for 12 hours nothing seemed to pop up I've tried two BIOS's now. the lastest beta which gives me some nice extra options. could try the one before.... will try some more options

i'd go with the 450D or a 2nd hand 40D seeing as the 50D is out now. panasonic, sony etc all make decent DSLR's now. One thing, for battery grips on a budget you can get some great imports that are OEM but work in the same way. Also the 1000D and the 450D may take different grips. so if...
