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.

    • Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!
    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
