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.

    • I left that life behind me. After so many rod bearings... (Had quite a few M3s)
    • Both Coils and Loom are OEM from the dealer.  I have not tried the Chinesium AFM. I Might today. Will get a timing gun to check this, to be honest I been meaning to check the timing because everything timing related is as the car came from Japan, being set by whatever shop did the timing 1.5k miles ago. I believe it is running rich all the time actually, as the pops and bangs feels like unburnt mixture in the exhaust. But I will check the pump and regulator. PS also new OEM fuel filter is in during the maintenance before these slew of misfires started. Cas been placed on the same position as it was before removed, same markings that were left by the shop that did the timing before I bought and imported the car. Thank you all for the responses so far by the way. Seems like I need to pay more attention to CAS condition and timing. Will check on that and report back here.
    • Buyer beware. Assume everyone is dodgy on the internet unless proven otherwise.
    • Try unplugging the smaller plug from the controller under the parcel shelf. right side when standing at the boot (HICAS controller). It's sort of saved me from the car killing me (HICAS spazzing out),
