  1. Here's mine, its the same as my desktop and ive got nvidia desktop management set my task bar to be transparent.
  2. 'multi tasking'?? BULL!! hahahah. aaanyway. I've got wpa-psk 128bit encryption (28key password) and my SSID is hidden also. So as far as i know, nobody is leeching off my internet. Also my wireless internet router barely gets up the stairs, so someone would have to some amazing receiver of sort and a way of seeing my connection and hacking it. You mean x64 bit XP? I wouldnt get x64bit just because of some of the compatibility issues with certain progs. I won;t overclock because i dont know how lol. I've looked it up and seen that you need to spend ages tweaking the cpu to set it up so that it isnt on too high and sending ur comp crashing even more. Thats too much stress for me.I've tried my asus aiNos overclock feature but that just gets my computer crashing. I am pretty satisfied with my cpu. The only thing i ever do that needs cpu is playing computer games (far cry, half life 2 etc)and touching up/clone stamping etc photos in photoshop. As much as I like tinkering around, i like it even more when my computer is just working lol. I hate it when ive messed something up and i have to restart my computer around five times till i fix it. I finally managed to get system restore working so thats a plus recently. I had to disable it, restart computer, enable it, restart. I think something had just got messed up in the files it creates when it starts off.
  3. LOL dude wat u need two mice and that many wifi connections for? Personally i like to keep my slots on my mobo free.
  4. Well i decided to cancel my order of the 4400.I tried running a norton system scan, while running O&O defrag, and playing far cry, with my 3500 and didnt see any lags in performance. Probably because of my 7900gt. The only time i want a faster cpu is when im encoding a dvd which is only maybe once a month. I'll wait till more programs support multi thread processing, till vista comes out. Well thats 300 pounds back in my pocket. Now to try and hang onto it.
  5. i'll post my thoughts on my X2 4400 in here when ive installed it when it arrives next week tuesday. Our old computer downstairs is a pentium 3 and i cant stand using that for anything more then surfing the internet if i have to use it.but what to do when my 4400 arrives and my 3500 doesnt have a home . I might just save my money and get a cheap mobo, 30gb hdd, cheap graphics card, and 512mb ram, and just give the computer to my mom for her birthday. LOL thats a really good idea, im surprised i only thought of it now, down to my bad memory and me thinking of what i can do for me, rather than anyone else, bah. oh well got the idea now Just busy installing MS Office 2007 Beta 2.
  6. Well I wanted my computer to be as futureproof as possible, and being able to run vista super smoothly when it comes out would be nice. A 256mb 7900gt should handle it quite easily. I heard from someone that dual core will processors will also get more use in vista. First time i see a laptop with 2gb ramn, how much did it originally come with before you upgraded?
  7. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/91327 Amd X2 4400 *edit* saw reason and cancelled order.
  8. I just got paid and am wondering whether to get a second 7900gt for SLI or an X2 4400 cpu. I know that mid july X2 processor prices will go down, but at the moment i dont have any games that need the extra graphics power, I wont be able to see any extra quality in Far Cry anyway as all the settings for quality are already set to highest. The only problem is that I fear the gainward 7900gt might become discontinued soon. What do you think ppl??
  9. how it it working with vista? I heard it wasnt wise to have vista running on a partition like another OS. I've seen them before, but how about some screen shots>? How is the performance? Is aero working? What are the specs of your laptop?
  10. hell no, its a hassle to organise the file info in s.s. I keep the wav files on my hdd and the 256mb atrac;s in s.s.

  12. lol classic. Lucky me, im going to have to reimport all my music into sonic stage all 1000 songs worth.
  13. Well after changing some icons in windows, i somehow got the 'open folder' icon to have a new action there, i didnt add it, it just got there lol, called 'find', and then i couldnt get any folders open, every time i double clicked, the windows search tool would come up, so i tried loading the old icons again, but nothing, still same crap. Then i tried to do a system restore, but because i was monitoring both my externall hdd and internal i think that caused problems because it isnt always connected, so i couldnt do that. So I was stuffed either way and thought i'll try a windows xp restore from booting with the xp cd, well you'd think it would work but next thing i know its telling me it cant find a file and cant continue setup. So guess what happened next? I had to reformat my entire hdd. luckily ive got all my games etc backed up and stuff, but still. Well anyway, thats what ive been shizzing off with since yesterday 11pm. went to bed at two, finished fixing the whole thing at 10;30. Sooooo, what have you done to your computer recently, good or bad, upgrade, or whatever do share
  14. im sure you could find an adapter to change the interface and then an enclosure for it>>??

  17. i like the gold writing, reminds of the Sony ES discs. Those discs and that player are made for eachother aesthetics wise
  18. well that was just a temp solution, heres the real deal;
  19. haha, well congrats on your solution all the same That was what i had at first, then i spent a month saving up (i R a teenager lol)and bought an extra two years warranty with this thing. Worth every penny, when u are an old fart, hopefully my deck will still be working and i can tell you to get one off ebay at the very least
  20. I'll have to say Amen to that one. I;ve only been round 1 surround sound system but i hated the fact that you had to move around to be just right. With 2 speakers its so simple, you just sit ur ass down and ur set to watch ur movie, stuff the rest Well.. after getting a monitor with 1 dead pixel, I asked for a replacement.,,and i got one, finally, now i can be proud of my baby
