    Two fairly similar systems - any tweaks?

    Ah, thank you. Was under the impression the amd board had onboard graphics. Any suggestions for one with onboard graphics? Processor is picked to match price, want them fairly similar for the benchmarks. Again any suggestions to which motherboard matches, similar price? Really appreciate the...

    Hi, Am a teacher and my students are going to build two computers and run benchmarking software to compare the two, have two systems, one AMD and one Intel, prices are fairly similar. Any suggestions to changes/tweaks. Systems will be used in the school library once built and finished...

    Upgrade options...

    Hmm... considering the options. USB's are plugged in ;) Liking the sound of those trinity cpus. With the options above, is it worth keeping the 3850 gfx card or the cpu/onboard option better? Years old the card so guessing it will be better off retiring it!

    My current system: An8 Motherboard (NF-CK804) AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 4Gb DDR Ram Ati Radeon HD 3850 (PCI -Express) I'm perfectly happy with the speed of the system, use it for work and the odd casual game - mainly older games so all that runs fine. The problem I have is with the USB...

    Video Editing / Light Gaming / Budget build.. Spec Check / Help Pls

    Thanks for the link to the CPU charts. I did look at Toms Hardware Charts - but they are a little dated! Will look at that pentium, cost is pretty much the same as I forgot the DVD drive. Thanks, and will check out the MM, didn't even think about that - duh!

    Video Editing / Light Gaming / Budget build.. Spec Check / Help Pls

    Hi all, Been about 5 years since I built my last PC from OcUK - PC is now in the hands of my dad and I have been using a laptop for years. Time to go back to a desktop. I bought a Sony HD Camcorder at Xmas to be a typical camcorder dad to make cheesy videos of my 10 month year old son to...

    What is the best value smartphone under £200 currently?

    Worth keeping an eye on auction sites, managed to pick up a new sensation for £250, above your budget but I saw a second hand one go for £216.

    Weird Red Bull demonstration incident

    I forget the name, but think he was running over with a fire extinguisher, which clouted the driver killing them both. Nasty.

    ***The Official HTC Sensation thread***

    Popped into Vodafine yesterday to have a play with both the Sensation and the SGS2 - gotta say I prefer the Sensation. Feels very nice in the hand, and I personally prefer the look, so decided to go for the HTC. Would agree that the Samsung certainly doesn't feel flimsy, very solid, but went for...

    Spec me... A new phone.

    I have the normal Desire, my wife has the Wildfire - the wildfire is a cut down version, and slightly smaller than the desire. If you have the option for a desire or wildfire, go with the desire. Big difference in the screen, quite low quality on the wildfire.

    ****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

    Can't decide if I should get this phone or wait a few weeks for the Sensation. Upgrade time has long passed, currently with T-Mob, but looking to change to Vodafone. Have checked out plenty of reviews on both, anything other than the obvious differences I need to consider? RAM: SGS2 - more...

    gingerbread on desire

    I'm using GingerVillian, find that more reliable than Oxygen. Was having to hard reset the phone most nights as it crashed using Oxygen during the night, would wake up and find the phone in a reboot loop. Never had an issue with GV. I use Titanium Backup - free from marketplace. Create a...

    Upgrade from HTC Desire..Nexus S?

    Hi, I'm looking for some opinions on my next android upgrade. I started with android with a hero, went to a desire. Love the system and briefly explored WM7 but all setup on Google (email/contacts/calender/apps) so will be sticking to android. My contract with tmobile was up earlier...
