    Nvidia or ATI

    OK, I have to agree with the 4870X2, maybe ATI are changing, however I have always seen NVidia as superior in many ways, and ATI as slightly behind but much cheaper. I do not think NVidia has a better image quality in DX10 games. Alex

    In Your Opinion- The Best Social Network?

    Yeah, it really depends what all your friends have. I started with Bebo (cos all my friends had it), now I use Facebook more as Bebo is slowly dying IMO. They've copied Facebook on many things, they've put far too much advertising on it and people are closing their accounts. Facebook is the...

    Nvidia or ATI

    NVidia if you play a lot of games (or do pro graphics work) that needs very good graphics, but ATI if your building a cheaper computer that doesnt need the very best graphics (eg. for occasional gaming). Alex

    Digital photo frames

    Well I sell a sort of photo frame on my site (so this might be a bit bias), but I sell a fair few each week. I think they are far better than just a single photo frame, you can just leave them showing photos in an entrance hall or something to everyone who walks by, instead of having the same...

    Dual Monitors

    Checking your driver settings, setting things up will NOT work - it cannot be done with a splitter. The input signal is duplicated to both outputs in the cable, meaning there is no way for Windows (or any other software) to tell the monitors apart. The best way would be to get a new graphics...

    Where do you buy your pc?

    Cant beat building your own - cheaper overall, much better quality (as long as you use the right parts), and you know how to fix it when if a part ever breaks. You also get a much longer warranty (as each part has sometimes many years, compared to the 1 year Dell give you). Alex

    IFrame alternative - need some help...

    Hi Im now using Magento for my store, which works very well. However, I need to add support documents to the website, and the only way inside Magento is by HTML pages (which cant have PHP inserted to them). So, I tried using a PHP knowledge base system, which works very well. However, so...

    [REQ][1000 points] New Graphics

    I want some new graphics that match the colours of the logo, but have the same sort of design as the old ones. They need to be blank though (without the images/text) so I can overlay my own product images/text. Hope that makes more sense? Thanks Alex

    [REQ][1000 points] New Graphics

    Hi I am openning up a new site, located here - www.component-warehouse.co.uk/magento I need new images for the front page - the same as the previous ones, but so that the colours match the logo and the site looks smart - something that I can overlay product images/text on. There are also...

    is it possible to...

    Well unless you already have 2 computers (of dual core standard, with 2GB or so RAM and some decent graphics) then it would probably be cheaper to build one fast system (as mentioned above), and a whole lot easier. If you double everything in one of the computers (eg. take your dual to a quad...

    best antivirus Norton or Mcafee

    The 'green tick' is called SiteAdvisor and its available free, you dont need the McAfee licence to get it. I'd been a fan of McAfee for years, although I recently got NOD32 free with my Eee, and it has been very good. Lacks a firewall and all that advanced stuff, but it takes very little...

    Mac vs. PC

    1GB of fast RAM costs below £10 (about $20), if you said that a few years a go I would of probably said you are right, but not now. It's like saying a game shouldnt take a £400 ($800) graphics card to get 30fps (eg. Crysis), when about 8 years ago you could play snake on a £200 computer. We all...

    New Computer

    First off, welcome to x10! 2nd - 320GB is fine for most computer, depending on what you'll be doing - I have Vista 64bit and Im using a 150GB hard drive, and its not even half full, even with Adobe Masters installed (all 20GB worth). Although 500GB would be a better bet price wise, as it will...

    Ditch the Computer Time Limit

    Save up a bit and buy a budget computer/laptop - Thats what I did - once I had my laptop I could spend as long as I wanted/needed to. Of course school work came first, but after that it was free. Alex

    Wanna know more about x10

    I dunno, theres a great (paid) UK hosting company in the UK who have over 6 million members/users and they just have one datacenter (£15m worth). I'd say thats pretty good going. Alex

    Best graphic card?

    I have an ATI HD3870 - and its excellent! I dont think you'll be disapointed with that card, but I think it'll be at the top end of your budget. Drivers are very good, work fine with 32 and 64bit Vista. Alex
