Hi Bandit They network card you have there is essentially a laptop network card, which requires the very small connectors This is the best example I could find.

I can't say much about any of them... but Ive got the cheaper Sennheiser in-ear CX300 II (around R500) ... best pair of headphones I've ever owned! So i'm pretty sure any of its more expensive brothers/cousins will be pure awesomeness Would buy any Sennheiser without heesitation

Is this like what you see in banks (i'm thinking along the lines of those displays you see in standardbank).. If so, i'm also interested in how thats setup...

I have a pair of the Logitech Z623's which can pump out a fair amount of amazing sound... Enough to annoy the neighbours. But I think they go for around R1500 to R2000. If you can stretch your budget, you can't really go wrong with this 2.1 THX System (this is the same pair Starbound is talking abou...

A lot of Mobile graphics cards (ie, the nVidia "GO" series) use drivers never intended for gaming, and are often incompatible/simple just 'don't play nice' with some games.

The specs are as follows: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66GHz, 512MB of RAM, nVidia GeForce 448 Go, Windows XP Service Pack 3. Is that all you need? thats really not bad for a simple office/internet type PC... should even handle most media just fine. I'd upgrade the RAM to at least 1gig and, if the machine...

Not an OC guru, but that's weird stuff, I reckon it could possibly happen...I mean, I have a similar (unsolved) case of where, when I had one graphics card in, a certain game was almost unplayable, but put a second card in of the same make, not connected to anything and it was smooth as can be :? An...

Sweet. seems to be a problem with these cards/drivers... Like the case btw

Seems a little bit high... according to Nvidia the Max safe temp for the GTS 450 is 100 degrees. I rekon it should be in the 65-75 degree range at load

DId you come right with your i7? Mine was exactly the same temps when I installed it with the stock cooler... Took it off and found the cooler seems "warped" for lack of a better word and was barely making any contact with the cpu. I could tell because after taking it off, i could see the ...

Well up in the highveld here I used to use 95 in my lil 1.3 Bantam... Maybe it was in my head but 95 gave it slightly better performance than 93, which on the 1.3 you needed all you could get!

Epic thread revival!! :P I think I'm sold- I want a diesel car. Reason - 130km a day to and from work- easily done on the bike- 40 - 50 min one way in Joburg/Pta traffic.
