Hmm good point on the system requirements. But presumably a swap partition should help that?

I'm tempted to buy an Acer c720 (sadly can only get the 2GB version as I'm in the UK) and stick Ubuntu on it as a replacement for my clunky 2008 era Dell Vostro. I've found a refurb unit for £140 which I would love to stick a 128GB SSD into. However I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for the...

Funnily enough, it has only happened once in the past week of using it in the problem house (same wall outlet as before). So perhaps the issue with the mains was only exacerbated in December for whatever reason. The interesting thing is that it's just the graphics card that seems to crash, not...

Line conditioners all seem to be made to provide multiple outlets (i.e. for server rooms I guess) so the ones I found seem to be more expensive than personal UPSs.

I live in the UK and currently move my PC between 2 houses, one in London and one in Oxford. When I am in London my graphics card is subject to random crashes, but when I am in Oxford the PC has absolutely no problems whatsoever. The only thing that is different in the two setups is the house...

I live in the UK and currently move my PC between 2 houses, one in London and one in Oxford. During my last stay in London my screen would randomly go black for a couple of seconds, followed by the image returning with the message "Nvidia display driver stopped working and recovered". It kept...

I'm thinking of making a new aluminium front panel for my case much like yours. I'm most worried about getting the cuts straight and using a router as you have seems to be the way to go. Could you give more details on the router you used and the bits? Would a dremel with the router attachment...

The GeForce 310m is rated as a class 3 card on notebookcheck but would it be ok for TF2? Im thinking of a Dell Vostro with the following: Processor : I5-430M (2.26GHz) Memory: 3072MB (1x2048 + 1x1024) 1333MHz DDR3 Graphics : NVIDIA® Geforce™ 310M, 512MB Graphics For £644 with Win 7 Pro...

Firstly, I'm in the UK. Now, I need a laptop that is not too bulky but that can manage TF2 nice and smoothly. I wouldn't want the price to be much above £500, but the cheaper the better obviously. Does this exist. Ive seen alot of conflicting things being said about what could and couldn't run...

Looks awesome in a ghetto/mad scientist sorta way!

As much as I hunger for this board, I cant justify spending £50 on it.

Well, I just found this: OCZ OCZ3X16002GK PC3-12800 Which would come to £60 for 4 GB if I bought 2 sets. But am I correctly assuming that the fact they have been "Optimized for the Intel X38/X48 chipset" dosnt mean all that much, and that therefore there will be no problems slotting them into...

Ok thats what I was thinking, but i couldnt find a concrete answer anywhere, so thanks for clearing things up. :)
