    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    I was very much in the "do I get K or not" ship, but for the performance and price I can't complain. Stupidly, I'm now annoyed that I got a case with no window as this stuff will look really, really nice. :P Overall system cost was cheaper than what I originally specced out and I got a better...

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    Cheers - I thought so. It's going to last me a while, and at the end of the day it's an investment in my career. If I had the cash Saundie - I would. I just can't justify spending that much on a CPU :p

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    Update for everyone - I have officially now purchased all of the individual components. Final Spec (and costs) is as follows:- CPU - Intel i7 2600 = £160 A bargain at this price, I don't want to overclock, and it contains ALL the extra bells and whistles when it comes to...

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    You're allocating too much RAM to your VM, and not leaving enough for the host. Read this guide - Link Hyper-V will do the same if you assign too much RAM to your Guest, and don't leave enough for your Host. With 2008 R2 SP1 Dynamic Memory was introduced for Hyper-V, which means that...

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    Update! Ok guys. After trawling stores online I 'accidentally' purchased my CPU for this build as it was such a good deal. I managed to pick up an i7 2600 (non-K) for £160, which isn't too shabby at all. Also got myself an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 for £15 to go with it. In...

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    It should be fine mate. Most cards aren't on the approved list, and might be a pain when installing the drivers using the standard installer (especially on 2008 R2). All you really need to do is manually point to the extracted drivers through device manager and it should pick it up and allow...

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    Ok... I've done a ridiculous amount of research and now my brain is fried. I've dumped the Bulldozer and gone back to Intel. Slightly higher priced i7 chip with all the virtualization features included, plus bigger cache. I also found a ridiculously cheap Z68 motherboard that does...

    New Build - Hyper-V Server

    Hmm. Just looking at motherboards and the the change in chip (from Intel i5 2500K -> AMD FX-8120/8150) warranted an obvious change in motherboard. Looking at the specifications on the Asus website, it says it only supports 4GB DIMMS. Can any shed some light on this please? As I'm looking...

    The BEST headset for an Xbox 360

    Turtle beach's still do this, but with the standard PX5's you'll need to purchase a Bluetooth adapter (~£28 - Link). With the XP500's (which are the same as the PX5) the adapter is included. This, and the colour is the only difference. HTH

    Windows Licence Question.

    Tip - If you're going this route, remember to use the # key to skip a load of the talky stuff and get through to the code entering.

    Officially uninstalled MW3

    Get it on rental if you can mate. Most online retailers are still charging >£30 for it, which is silly.

    Serious Sam 3 for £10.19! & Deus Ex for £8.99!

    Deus Ex is fantastic. Can you say nostalgia?
