Will do, danke...

PLEEEASE help me on this- How do I stop my PC crashing daily with this error? "wanarp.sys" > Win XP SP1.

Haha, yes. I'd thoroughly recommend an iPod, it's the slickest device in pretty much every respect. Everyone actually knows this but tries to argue anyway. I'd still like mine even if it stopped working, such is it's design appeal. Buy one kids, everyone needs SOME style, yo.

I'd say that pic's fake, don't see Gates sitting in the back of some dingy dark room full of crap dismantled pcs' looking guilty by chance. Photoshop face-transplant more like. Of course microsoft have macs on research and vice versa, business/buyers/profit would have it no other way.

Not surprised to hear of a dual steup in the future, slick. Considering 97% of people use PCs', there are many more compatibility and unity related issues to consider and work with in PC hardware tech development, so it's not really fair to say the PC world is slow and behind the game. Course I'd st...

Do people actually BUY NEW ddr266? Why is it still produced anyway? If it were considerably cheaper( far from it) then maybe it might be worth buying. Not the case- everyone should always buy ddr400 or whatever the latest is, minimal price variations into account. Jeez. Also, Athlon 64 chips will re...

PCF reviewed Far Cry this month. Apparently they tested the game without a screen, cause a score of only 71% is simply bollocks! A revolutionary game in many aspects, I'm sure many will agree it deserves a better grade. Not that it really matters, but still. 8O

Rhetorical questions of such calibre deserve wisecrack replies I'm afraid. 560W could run a submarine. Lucky man though, cha word.

Yo Azgard, Even Java Cafe sold them for R1600 a couple months back I remember. Buying direct from a supplier would cut that cost down to around R1500 (R1360 ex. vat in February)or so. Rectron? Sahara? Sonic? There are many peeps on the forum in whatever area you live with possible help... If you in ...

You can find one new at around that price. Send wolves to your friend's house.
Anyone know what a 1 year old 9700pro should sell for? Original Ati card, never overclocked.

Viva XGI! Or not? Ok... People learn new things from varying sources, not least graphics card comparitive reviews. It's all more fun than anything else, sticking up for your chosen brand. Everyone likes to think they're deadly serious but reality is otherwise. Starting an AMD/Intel or Nvidea/Ati arg...

I know people addicted to DBZ, all 20+. Macross Zero, MECHS, AUTOBOTS, thats what I'm talkin about.
Anyone remember the film Tron? Old school and off the topic but damn is it slick.

Haha, Porsche and Subaru. I use my pc for design based work, gaming, multimedia. Use it all the time. So I cane my subaru throughout the week, doesn't mean I don't want that Porsche for the week-ends. In other words, we all need a powerful PC AND a G5 Powerbook( translates to a new GT3 in Porsche te...

Thats true soap, but a modestly overclocked 3400 will put away an fx-51 in most benchmarks anyway, single controller or not. Fx-53 will be harder work to beat, but the same formula applies. Anyone know why this is so? Is there a bottleneck for the fx series somewhere? They are better, but not as muc...

Intel has had to go to the drawing board after the amd 64. Many think of AMD as some small little arb company (Intel is considerably bigger, sure) but they are far from it. They even sponsor the Ferrari F1 team (look on Schumacher's tail/wing- AMD!)

Curious then that Intel said the P4EE was aimed at the gaming market? A Northwood, with double the L2 of a prescott, is a better gaming chip, turning out better benched results, after all. Good point MrBean, an fx should beat Intels best. 8) The fx-53 costs considerably less than the 3.4EE though, w...

Agreed. 'Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of this thread.'

The best value 64 bit chip is the 3000+, it's 512 cache less of a realistic disadvantage than most think. Nevertheless, I went for the next best valued version, the 3200+ which easily sits at the 2.2ghz of a 3400+ on the standard boxed heatsink I'm using for now, after fsb tweaking. And that at 37-4...

I agree with that, though if you're really flush(I aint), a new card is great to have. I generally keep a card for 1 year before an upgrade, depending on technological progress. The next-gen cards from both Nvidea and Ati, likely costing little more than current top cards soon enough, will represent...

One of the best games I've played in a looong time. Level editor is also very cool...

Jeeeez. Not wild about the case itself, but the lil' screen and specs are highly tidy. Must cost RIDICULOUS money. 8O

I have a blue version, V1000D, and it's really heavy, far more so than my previous case, an aluminium xaser 2. Point is, aluminium( silver ver only) is a good idea. Great cases though, many cool touches. And it looks sliiick. That price isn't bad, probably not the very best though. eg > take2.co.za ...

Hmm, slick machines around... Mine's similar to the above AMD 64 3200+ @ 2.2ghz Chaintech Zenith znf150 640MB SamsungDDR333 H.I.S Radeon 9800Pro @ 420MHZ 120GB Seagate S-ATA HDD 60GB W.DIGITAL 7200rpm/ 8mb 20GB " Xaser 3 v1000D in Blue 52x32x52 LG writer 17" Viewsonic Creative 6.1 en route...

Yeah, my bad. Works though, dunnit.

You don't need any utils - Go to Run (in start menu) and type, assuming networked pc's name is eg. 'home' : net send home Blah blah blah. Simple as that, note spacing.
