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.

    • Yes. It's not aesthetically pleasing. And most turbos sold these days are sold for aesthetic purposes (Insta likes/fame, etc). Also its cheaper to not machine it. The hot side is the pipe with hot air in it from the turbo to the intercooler. The cold side is the pipe with cooled air in it from the IC to the engine. Anywhere after the turbo will do. Certainly before the IC is better than the IC. But there is no massive imperative to get it from the turbo scroll itself, or from no more than an inch downstream. Those are nonsense thoughts. The only thing we want is a pretty honest measurement of the pressure at the turbo outlet, and anywhere from the compressor housing itself to the inlet of the IC will read approximately the same thing. Yeah, I disagree with Tao on that one. It's fine for an engine that only runs on the dyno at full throttle (or, equivalently, a drag car that only really runs at full throttle also). But some turbos that are particularly sensitive to overspeed (ie EFRs) would quite possibly get into a lot of trouble if run that way.
    • The sarcasm should have been easily visible. It was dripping off it.
    • Whether the brakes will clear the back of the spokes comes down to the specific wheel, as well as its dimensions (ie 18x8 or whatever else size). You can have 2 different wheels of the same size and one will clear and on the other the spoke design will not clear. So your question "Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"?" cannot be answered in a meaningful way. You need that person to be using the same wheel you want to use.
