Yup tryed all those things. Nothing is overclocked. What can I boot from? Ive got a copy of XP Pro (Its MCE on the PC), but that just wants to install XP. The recovery console on the disk doesnt let you see all of the C: drive so i cant copy my files off that way. Unfortunately I dont have another w...

Hi everyone, I got home from work today and my parents told me that the PC is broke :s From what i can gather XP was updating and when it asked to reboot it wouldnt start back up. So now, after POSTing, it will get maybe a 1/3 into loading windows and BSOD then turn off. Safe mode will not work eith...

I cant believe I missed this!

Can we have a 2 day advance notice if we get chance to do this in the future?

At least I got to frag at at LAN party earlier that day

That is well sweet.

Bet it will cost a bomb! Minority report here we come!

woo, im the only one for 1.6 :P I'm only saying that though because i never made the proper transffer to source, and haven't really played much recently. Plus it didnt help that i trialled source on a fx go5200! :rolleyes: If I had of played with a better GPU, like in my desktop, I would have choose...

This new generation of software really needs the new generation of hardware for best results.

I agree, thats why I'm miffed that Microsoft is 'reccommending' ECC RAM, because it suxorz, with the price and decreased performance.

zachig: Did you read the article?
I know its tomshardware, but most of the stuff they say is right.

Vista will run on more than 50% of computers, it just means that extra features will have to be turned off.

So what would you say to someone who wanted to buy the Dell renegade XPS600, Quad SLI :P SLI is a hell alot of money, but thats what people have to pay to keep up with bleeding edge tech, especially if you keep upgrading. But one posibility for SLI is like kenc, buy half now, and the other half late...

Dan

Ok, so you guys have talked me out of having Raid

Probably to my wallets benifit too!

Though at some point I'm going to have to have a dable, preferably when im earning loads

Dan

Ok, so as I understand it you need identical drives* to stripe**. But do you need identical drives to mirror? What I really mean is, do they both have to be the same spindle speed? So for example if i have a 7200rpm main 'array' and my mirrored 'array' only runs at 5400rpm will i see a performance l...

Vista needs ECC RAM to run stably?!?!

Argh!

I hope that just decent DDR2 will suffice, as im not sure i want the wallet and performace hit when i upgrade to vista!

Dan

Congrats!

Edit: Yeah, im not sure if dropping a northwood into a prescott mobo will work, someone else will have to clear that one up! :? The processor is going to be a huge bottleneck in that system, so getting a new x1600 will be overkill/pointless (I am right there arent I? :P) To keep in the same sort of ...

My laptop did that to me before, i think it crashed somehow.

Very sucky when you have had your PC on constantly and then it dies before finishing!

Dan

lol. My biker friend will love this!

I'll not be able to look at him with a straight face when i see him in all his gear now!

Dan

Both sides of the building too. Pretty amazing!

Dan

Just be thankful that you dont get charged anywhere near what we do for petrol* over here. When you start getting taxes that make petrol prices equivilent to 87p a litre ($5.88 a gallon!!) you can start b*tchin :P But coz i dont live there thats only one aspect I see. So I't probably isnt as rosy as...
