Thanks for that for some reason I thought it had a 18 month warranty. Just checked and you're right. Doh!

Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my graphics card, right now I've a Zotac GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition that has conveniently started having issues just after the warranty ran out. Funny that. Anyway I'm not looking to replace the rest of my rig even if it's a bit behind the times. All I need is a...

I am fully aware of that and am a Prize Winning Tool. I meant Linux. This my Linux Rig not Windows Rig. God I am so embarrassed.:o Also this is my first Linux rig so I am noobie on this.

I'm sure I've made a really obvious mistake but I've recently upgraded my computer as it was getting a bit long in the tooth and bought a OcUK motherboard, RAM and CPU bundle plus a new Graphics Card. I installed everything today but when I boot the computer Linux doesn't wok. In fact it says...

I won't bore you with the details but I have a spare monitor a 22" LG Flatron W2252TQ which I would like to turn into a tv, is the anyway it can be done?

cheers I think I'll go with the Abit board

I want to upgrade my venerable shuttle and one of my key aims is to get a HDMI capable system. Does this motherboard have that capability: Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R Micro ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard It says it supports Blu-Ray and HD-DVD but does that mean it only supports...

Well that's good news I did know that Corsair had a good reputation and that Q-Tec were dodgy but I wondered if anyone knew more than that.

With a PSU the first priority is obviously reliability, after all you don't want to fry £1000 of hardware when you could have spent £20 on a better PSU. Therefore how would you rank the major manufactures from best to worst.

Oh I am defiantly doing dual boot, I do a lot of work from home and most of my work related programs probably won't work on Vista, also I play a lot of CS Source so I am obviously intending to still use XP most of the time but for a few games: Crysis, CoH-OF, SupCom Forged Alliance I'll use Vista.

Yeah but I am getting 30-40 fps on my tiny 18" display (1280x1024) (I haven't got space to go widescreen) so I am less troubled by speed than those of you running 24" displays. Though on the Vista gaming issue it doesn't look like SP1 will help much at all.

Fair enough, though why don't ATi have a competitor in that price range, or is it just not out yet.

But DX10 makes everything so much prettier, or a least according to the screenshots it does. Also why is the 8800 GTS which appears to be worse than the 8800GT (less pixel pipelines, slower speed) more expensive? Thanks. P.S. Also why are ATi cards so cheap, the most expensive is £140?

The pain of playing Crysis on DX9 and knowing it could be so much more on DX10, has finally forced me to take the plunge and order Vista, however I am obviously going to need a DX10 graphics card. I'm not that rich so I want something that is relativly future proof for under £200. Thank you...

Oh Well

I am thinking about buying Vista Ultimate know that most of the driver problems have been sorted and that there are quite a few DX10 games out there know. Not to keen on the performance hit but I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it. But how many installs do I get on the OEM version...

I am thinking of getting Vista know that most of the driver problems have been sorted but what sort of affect does moving from XP 32 to Vista 64 have on performance?

One "22 is more than enough

I have finally taken the plunge and am going to upgrade to Vista, mainly to play games on DX10, with CoH patch 1.7 and Lost Planet out and games like Crisis, World in Conflict etc. not that far away I need to go to DX10. As I am spending £60 on Home Premium I only have £200 to spend on a...

I don't know if this belongs in the General Hardware section or here but anyway. I don't really play flight games a lot but I am placing a big order atm and I could do with one for BF2 and a few other games where using keyboard and mouse is less than ideal, so I was wondering what Joystick I...
