Usually 2 sticks are marginally quicker & puts less strain than using 4 slots of equivalent memory. Personally, I’d go with any 2GB kit (2x1GB), doubt you’d regularly utilise more than 3GB of memory with your current system.

With the exception of overclocking, there's no real benefit going with faster RAM frequency than what your mobo can support or CPU FSB & in your case that's 400Mhz (assuming you have DDR2 & P4 or better). Although, RAM is quite cheap now so there’s no harm in getting the best 4GB (2x2GB) you can afford, as they are backwards [frequency] compatible & you can always use it in your next system - provided AMD mobo’s don’t also start pushing for DDR3 to become mainstream anytime soon :P.

No madaz it will not.

Your best choice for gaming with a controller on both 360 and PC is to buy a microsoft WIRED xbox360 controller. They are a great controller and work really well on PC.

You can buy the wireless xbox360 controller but then you will also need the wireless receiver.

pkblade when u getting ya 4870???

Finally got it on Tues :D ...went with the MSI's OC version, pretty happy with it so far. Although while I was DL the latest driver I noticed MSI have already released the HD4870X2 OC :). Might wait for prices to go down, currently they're priced $650-750.

So who uses VoIP?

I've been with MyNetFone for quite some time now and really can't fault their service.

Signed up via the MyNetFone whingepool/whirlpool offer. $4.95 per month for 60 free national calls untimed then 10c untimed national and 15c per minute per second billing.

We don't use the phone a great deal but still manage to save a good $80 per month as we often make national and mobile calls.

I'm on the Home Line Budget $19.95 Helstra plan with ADSL2+ from Internode.

For those that are shopping ensure you run a quick traceroute to the sip server you are looking at to ensure the routing isn't stupid from where you are located.

MyNetFone from Internode in Adelaide is ~40ms away with a traceroute you couldn't improve.

Don't buy an ATA device that plugs in to your modem as a lot of modems suffer what is known as a NAT bug; splash out another $40 or so and buy an All in one modem/router/wireless/voip box.

Preferably a billion 740x as they work well and are easy to configure.

i used to use engin for VoIP... service was ok but they were bastards when i went to cancel (having worked in a cancellations call queue with a major ISP i I know whats what with T's & C's, i got his TL on the phone and gave em what for hehhe the dude was highlighted for a "coaching opportunity" LOL ).

I'm also on node adsl2+ wit homeline plus

i had a free zyxel ata that i procured from work.... the GUI is completely counter-intuative on those things

did get delays tho, i tested it bay haveing a mobile fone convo at the same time... it was noticeable

yeah nice work Nick - I remember seeing some of your earlier work on those models and even then they looked the bomb!

Hey Bezender - you need one or 2 of these:

Dual external hard drive case (click)

Benefits

Inbuilt fan - my HDDs stay even cooler than they used to when inside my Matrix VX

Its own power supply

Can take the SuperBox with you and connect it up at a mates place with dual E-Sata for speedy data sharing

One or two of these might be in order too (click)

    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
    • Very cool, see what I did there? 🥲 Wild WMI setup, first I've seen where it's on each cylinder runner, usually I see a single jet pre throttle.
    • Welcome mate. What type of work were you looking at getting done? Majorly of decent skyline workshops are in the SE.
