That's an offensive cost to the environment. Future archaeologists will be able to identify a "Vista Upgrade Layer" when they go through our landfill sites.'"

The sad part is thats probably true. However a lot of people do recycle machines, theres a company in the hills that takes old pcs (pentium 3s etc) fixes them up so they can get on the internet and do word processing and sells them for next to nothing. A P3 is really all you need to do 80% of office tasks.

the UK Green Party are a bunch of uneducated freaks .... what DRM has to do with anything whatsoever is beyond me .... and the claim of people dumping old monitors - this has nothing whatsoever to do with Vista lol

hi man,

AVG is good Spybot is good

personally i used Active Virus Sheild from AOL and kapersky

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php that will tell you all sorts of good information about your pc including how many ram slots you have

forget about upgrading your laptop, period. They are notoriously temperamental, and you will require specific model and spec ram chips from the supplier that built the laptop - and these are normally 200% - 300% the price of generic PC ram.

hey guys, how can i find out how many RAM slots i have in my laptop?

also, what do people think of AVG anti virus, Spybot and Sygate firewall????

I used all 3 for ages, and think they are great as they are free to use and catch 99% of stuff.

Currently though ive switched to Bitdefender as i thought avg was letting something through...

Bitdefender was my choice amongst the highest rated ones as it has the option to scan fast like AVG, or do a full or deep scan like Kaspersky, NOD32 etc...

It also has an included firewall, spyware and malware package in the 1 program. Saves me updating the 3 programs u listed, then scanning each.

****************

ATM i cant be farked figuring out why vista wont run on my pc. Memtest has no errors, and nothing is oc'd.

I think it must be the way ive got my hdd and dvds setup...

DVDr is pri ide drive

DVDrom is the Pri. ide secondary

Raptor (boot drive) is in sata2 -port 1

Seagate (storage) is in the sata2 - port 1

I think vista cracks a shit if it aint on an ide slot....need to keep researching....

for now im having fun, as ive got Ubuntu dual booting with XP. Planning on seeing how Beryl goes, and what else i can get going on linux...

I have Vista running an a SATA drive no problems.

I would definitely not run your DVD burner on a primary IDE port - put the Burner as Secondary master, and the DVDROM Secondary slave.

i forgot to mention before Active Virus Sheild is FREE also

isnt it better to run each on a separate ide port, not master/slave on the 1 ide slot?

Any difference to read write times when copying / writing from a disc to another?

black32 - I have always run DVD/CDRoms and Burners on the same ide ribbon and don't notice any speed issues - I have always done it this way. The read/write speed of the drives themselves is by far the limiting factor.

    • Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold? 
    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
