As the guys say, make sure the HDDs match or you'll end up causing yourself headaches. A brand new 250gb SATA hard drive can be bought for £50 which is peanuts. Your old 40gb hard drive will not match the new ones in terms of performance, and when you consider new games are getting bigger and bigge...

Right here..: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port That's what you need to know mate. I upgraded my PC not long ago and had to learn the basics of AGP slots before i made my purchase. You need to find out what cards your motherboard supports. Your board has the AGP slot, but there...

I never had trouble with any of my DVD rewriters. I have two in my system, one was to replace a faulty Cd rewriter. Just bad luck i feel mate.

The thing is Jana, using that method, you take a picture then have to put it into paint and save. Using Fraps, you just hit which ever key is assigned and it takes a screenshot for you saving it to a folder. Hit it again and again and again and you have multiple shots. Much easier, give it a try.

I use Fraps also. Give the Hotkey a key that you want to use, and tell it a folder where to put the pictures, and away you go. I usually start Fraps first, then the game, take as many pictures as you want. If the pictures are in BMP format they'll be quite large, so you can change them in the settin...

Cd/DVD rewriters are pretty cheap mate. £20 gets you a DVD rewriter so if you have tried everything, just buy a new one. They're also easy to fit too.

Metal Gear solid-series
Gran Turismo-series
C&C generals/zero hour
Join operations- (buggy at first, but great online multiplayer)
NFSC- Despite it's annoying bugs

But the game i'm into now is FEAR. I'm loving it so far and it seems it will only get better in my estimations.

Check this page mate and you can see which is best. Both the x1300 and x1600 stats are based on a 256mb card, but the x1600 is still better, so add the 512mb version and it's going to be way ahead of the x1300.

Just because he states that it has 50 hours of playback, it doesn't mean that it does. Battery life estimates are, more often than not, very optimistic. Also, it says that he didn't have the patience to see if it actually had 50 hours in it. He was just assuming. So why would Sony lie about it? Is ...

Well i originally had Panda antivirus. don't know why, it doesn't even sound like it could do the job. Anyway, had some trouble with it and after 3 weeks of it and Panda support couldn't fix it, i ditched them for Norton. Norton was great, no viruses or anything but i did notice it was a drain on my...

I haven't read all this thread so not sure if someone has mentioned it before. I have the Sony bean. It has a 1gb flash memory, but the best bit is the USB charger. Flip the little cover off and the usb connector pops out, stick it in your PC for 3 minutes and you have 3 hours battery life and so on...
