Might seem a silly question (a very long shot actually!), but have you checked for a bank limitation on the chipset? I can recall some older Intel chipsets only recognising a set number of banks on memory installed where maximum memory capacity could only be recognised if a mixed number of...

Well they f***ed you over in the first place in getting you to buy their systems, so they are only continuing to f*** you over when out of warranty.

those running beta's or rc's need to uninstall them first before installing the Final SP1. Very smooth install on the machines here with no problems at all. Systems all feel slightly more repsonsive than the RC versions. Battery life on the notebooks is noticably better than before. One...

Those Nigerians are going to want their little black box back though. Was the money being routed via Western Union though, that is the main question.

If you check out the original photo on NASA's site, you can see that the 'bigfoot' is no more than a couple of metres away from the camera, so it must be a micro-midgetfoot if it is anything other than a rock formation.

I want to know how can he be at an advantage over the other athletes if his fastest times are 3 seconds outside the qualifying times required to enter the Olympics?

No different to the UK 40GB that is the only SKU now over here for the PS3, which has been available since October 07. Looks like Sony are slimming down the SKU's to a worldwide standard & the USA will be next to get this. Look on the bright side though, at least you will not be paying the...

Have not had any problems with the Intel wireless NIC in the Toshiba Satellite A100 I am using at the moment here, nor with the Broadcom wireless NIC in the Compaq Turion based notebook that is also on the desk. Both have been working fine since the OEM version of Ultimate hit the shelves at launch.

Easy to answer this one. I used to work for O2 in the UK a few years ago (was rated fouth highest retail salesperson in the Country in my employment there). Number of Reasons. 1: As all other handsets on pay monthly or pre-pay plans are heavily subsidised by the Network in the UK, users...

His human rights are at risk & the person to blame for this crap is the wife of the former Prime Minister, Cherie Blair (if truth be known she was the one running the country into the ground not Tony Blair). Since she got the Human Rights Bill passed in the European Courts (the same European...

Those that didn't already know this with regards to WEP should NOT be even touching a computer let alone configuring a wireless network. WEP has never been fully secure and easy to break into. Those who rely on WEP deserve all they get IMHO.

Don't say us in the UK actually got something before North America!!!???!!! These watered down 40GB PS3's have been in stores here for a few weeks now and are not selling in all honesty due to the 60GB software emulates PS2 compatiable version being £50 more with a better games bundle! Sony have...

Works fine here on the Ati X1400 based notebook running Vista Ultimate 32bit and the wifes machine running a cut down Nvidia 6100 card under XP Sp2.

I haven't used AV software on any of my personal PC's since Windows 2000. Didn't see the need for it in all honesty as I never had any problems with infections nor anything flagged up that I would have opened as attachments. I agree that most home and business users should use AV products if...

More fool the people who actually bought one of these over-priced and underperforming POS's.
