    a few pc questions.

    1 - mATX is most certainly not obselete. It just receives less attention because there are formats that are FAR smaller, and those that are larger have been redesigned (read: BTX). 2 - SLI is only really effective with mid-range cards. And the gains are certainly not 2x the performance. Some...

    gfx compares?

    Perhaps not at full pelt, but at conditions definately playable. No, you misunderstand. I'm not talking about a credit card. This has nothing to do with your credit history. You simply take the funds you were going to use to buy the card, pay it into your bank, and request a DEBIT card. With...

    gfx compares?

    The 7600GT is a very much acceptable card, these days. As Demonic pointed out, it's still the sweet spot for price/performance, and it's more than capable of running modern games at a mid-to-high spec. Avoid ATi cards like the plague. (This is coming from an ATi fanboy folks, so don't you...

    Go to your nearest hospital ASAP. Bear in mind, I have no pity for you. You should have been wearing safety goggles. and you should have known to wear them.

    how can i tell if my motherboard supports SATA?

    Consider instead getting a PCI SATA controller. That way, you get SATA ports natively ;)

    How much more performance ? [please read]

    The Xbox360's graphics chip is _vastly_ superior to a X1950. As is it's CPU, compared to desktop CPUs. Don't expect miracles. The X1950 is now a last-gen part, and you're looking to play next-gen games. Don't expect good performance. -- Check the link below for the CPU comparison tables...

    Bring 1.4 back.

    Interestingly, I feel the need to buy non of the next-gen consoles. Yet, I still keep my Atari 2600 nice and clean, and play it every now and then. Poor analogy. -- 1.4 had a much better gameplay. Well, when it was first released by GN, anyway. I do feel all of these new temples, items...

    New PC

    Unfortunately so. Ensure your wide screen TV supports at least 720p, for best performance. (1080p prefered, but that really WOULD be expensive ;)) Out of curiosity, why not opt for a 30 inch Dell LCD panel, which would be a higher resolution than 1080p, and probably a better picture quality...

    Laptop Memory, Which To Buy ?

    Get a program called CPU-Z, and check the memory tab. Buy identical speed and type, and you'll be fine.

    New PC

    Sorry, I thought I'd tagged that on. Ebuyer.co.uk :) -- @Tomz: Future proofing would be advising him to wait for the next generation, which will be DDR3 equiped ;) Also, no, most current PCs sold do not come with 500W PSUs. Infact, of those that do, the majority of those will be incredibly...

    New PC

    @Tomz: The quad core's massive speed drop will not be beneficial in single threaded applications. Also, you'll probably want a fairly competent power supply.

    ICT sure has got highlighting down to a fine art, hasn't he? Looks good.

    I like. Looks impressive, given you can't just use photoshop to improve the tones & highlights :P

    New PC

    Mmmmm, DirectX10, you say? This is tricky. You see, the two DX10 architectures at the minute are, well, stupid. The 8*00 series from nVidia performs exceptionally well in DX9, trouncing ATI's 2*00 series. However, there are some reports suggesting the 2*00 series from ATI counterbalances this...

    Great googamooga. I leave you children alone for a few days, and you do THIS? Thread locked. If it is continued in _any form_ I will personally IP ban every single participant. And no matter how many times you reset your IP, I'll still ban the new one. -- Since Atom's reply was last, and had...

    Safari For Windows

    It's rather slow, renders using OSX's horrible font system, and breaks every Windows UI convention. Did I also mention it's inferior to FireFox?

    Might be buying new PC

    Unless you're looking to upgrade within the next 6 months, abandon that idea. DDR3 is on the horizon, and running two graphics cards isn't a good option at the best of times.
