    Xbox 360!

    Congratulations on finding a comparison on the bleeding obvious. Who could've guessed the consoles would be backwards compatible, use wireless controllers AND play back DVDs!?!?! -- Back to the point. Sony's spec sheet is full of non-specific crud...

    Xbox 360!

    Sigh. How can you guys compare the Xbox360 to a console where the details are SKETCHY at best? I'm waiting for Halo 3, and some decent second-generation games before I get a Sexbox360. The current-gen games looks pretty damn crap on SDTV.

    Same as Shinoda. Or maybe some KY Jelly.

    Buying a computer

    The Dual-Core Opteron 165 at 1.8GHZ is cheaper/same price as the 3800+, and by overclocking it slightly, you can get FAR better performance. The double-sized cache can make a LOT of difference, and for the same price, it's totally worth it.

    Buying a computer

    From what I can see, they're both CAS2.5 (CAS having the largest effect as far as RAM timings go). -- The best value desktop opterons are the 165's. Essentially lower-clocked AMD64 X2 4400's. And the price.....through the floor.

    apprenticeships

    Bearing in mind, I have no experience of IT apprenticeships, I'd recommend you look towards small (but expanding) businesses, and educational institutions. They seem like areas that could always use more manual IT guys.

    Broadband connection

    Have you checked your router to ensure the connection is good? Tried ringing your ISP yet? Sure you're not being used as a dump?

    Buying a computer

    Auron's derivative: I decided to cut back on the processor and brand name ram, and hard disk size. In exchange, you get a bigger PSU, and a better branded graphics card. Down to you how you'd choose it, though I personally would opt for the cheaper processor and push the extra 200mhz of speed...

    College?

    Well, given my correct spelling, arsy attitude, and outright hyper-intelligence, it's safe to say i'm British. (Urban is really a Brit. He was swapped at birth.) As for maths. Are you serious? Take it from someone who's been through all those dodgy courses. Maths is at LEAST 70% of the course...
