I'm planning on building a new system soon. I have a budget of around £500. I want to build a Vista System which is capable of doing a lot of gaming (I'm planning on an 8800GT purchase). I am having some trouble choosing a processor, I'm currently on a Pentium D 805 system and at times it can...

I've been looking at motherboards for an Intel Core 2 Duo and would like to know is there a huge performance difference between the motherboard chipsets? The price difference is quite large so I would prefer to go with a 965P over a 975X chipset. Could somebody please explain to me the...

I'm searching for a cooler which will fit into a media center case. Case: Antec NSK2400 MATX I may go with a Core 2 Duo CPU or an AMD Athlon 64 (939 or even X2). I'm mainly looking for a 939 cooler, as the 3700+ San Diego is only £50 on ebuyer when OEM. Preferably, the cooler should be...

Im building a media centre PC as my dad wants to be able to use the PC on one of our new HD TV screens we are getting. I've been thinking about what to get for the system. Budget: £500 He said that he doesn't need a good graphics card for games, but I'm building the machine so it's not going to...

I've been overclocking my system ever since I got it. At first I had a Chieftec 450W PSU (bad quality) - this deteriorated over time, and my PC started crashing. I bought a second hand Hiper 480W - it's been brilliant, but today my PC has started crashing again. I immediately reset the BIOS - no...

I've just fitted a new PSU into my system and it's now working very stable, and I am able to overclock my CPU (Pentium D 805 2.66GHz) to 4.00GHz. When idle, the temperature is around 51*C, when both cores are at 100% load the CPU gets to 68*C or so and then crashes (PC Mark is the only...

I just managed to get myself a Razer gaming mouse (2000DPI) (RAZER BOOMSLANG) for £6.59 on ebay :D I consider that a pretty decent buy. I'm currently using some dell optical mouse, doesn't cut it for games. I love living back in England and being able to use eBay :)

I need a new clickwheel for my ipod mini. They are quite expensive so I'm trying all other options at the moment. Does anybody have an old iPod mini that they are willing to let go for a small price? Would help me greatly. Thanks

I've just downloaded the 93.71 driver for the GeForce series and it appears that my GPU's memory frequency has gone from 1000 to 2000 (2100 overclocked). My brother's PC has had exactly the same result. Anybody know anything about this?

Just wondering what the difference between SATA drives and SCSi drives are? I was thinking of buying a 10kRPM hard drive for my windows setup and use my current 250GB HDD for programs, music, etc. I've got a P5LD2 Deluxe, and I don't understand what SCSi is and if my mobo will support it.

My approximate budget is around £150 and with it I want to get the best graphics card possible. I've been looking at overclockers.co.uk who offer an X1950 Pro 256MB for £131.11 (VAT Included). It has lower clockspeeds and fewer pipelines to the XTX but comes at an amazingly cheap price. I'm...

I was browsing overclockers.co.uk Every week they have a special deal on certain products and this week they have an Antec PC case. The case comes with an Antec Truepower 2.0 480W PSU. Are these PSUs good? The PSU alone costs more than the case + psu because of the special offer...

EA have pushed it too far now. I bought (stupidly) Battlefield 2142 today, hoping that perhaps EA had resolved their ways - I was lead to believe this after they finally sorted out the problems (or most of them) in Battlefield 2. But yet again, EA have released a game which isn't even ready...

I have overclocked my Pentium D 805 to 4.0GHz. It runs like a dream and idles at just over 50*C on stock cooling. However, I ran PCMark05 to check stability. During the test using internet explorer, which I think opens hundreds of pages or something (you hear it refreshing) and pushes CPU...

I recently built two identical systems - one for my brother and one for myself. With these systems I purchased 6600GT graphics cards. I'm not sure about everybody else here, but I have little knowledge about SLI and how "good" it really is. I decided to pinch my brother's graphics card...

I've just moved back to England and have registered for internet with a company called Tiscali. When they sent me the DSL modem I found that it only supported USB (rather than ethernet cable). Is this normal? In the past I have always used a LAN cable to connect my PC to the router which then...
