    Windows XP vs Windows Vista

    Vista all the way. My PC runs it fine, and Ive got drivers for everything I own, including a 7 year old HP printer that you cant buy anymore. And people say that it takes too much RAM, but so what if it takes an extra GB of RAM, here you can get 1GB of 800MHz RAM for £11, in the UK, where...

    My Computer

    So what if Vista eats another GB of RAM, you can get 1GB of 800MHz RAM for £11 here, and everything seems more expensive in the UK, so in the US it must be almost nothing.And 800MHz isnt slow RAM either... People are treating Vista as if theyre still running it on the system designed for XP...

    Google and Addon Domains

    Hi Im not sure where to put this, as Im now on a paid server, but theres no paid server section so... Anyway, if I create some addon domains, will Google and other search engines see these as seperate to my main site, or will they be indexed as the same site? Thanks Alex

    Purchasing a Hard Disk

    I would add to that, if you have the money, get a WD Raptor, as theyre the fastest SATA drive around, and Ive been very pleased with mine. You could use that for the OS and any programs and then have a larger, slower HDD for storage and files, say a 500GB to 1TB one. That is the ideal setup for...

    P35 Motherboards

    Posted yesterday when the launch of Intel Penryn was weeks if not a month ago now. DDR3 is still very expensive at the moment, and 1066 or 800 MHz DDR2 will serve fine for most people at a much cheaper price. Alex

    HELP! Reformatting my iPod

    Yeah, dont have an IPod, but formatting an MP3 player is a bad thing to do. Did you check to see if IPod supported the NTFS format before you started?

    Is Vista Worth?

    No, Vista is far better then XP, especially with SP1 for Vista. XP was slow and sluggish, crashed often and didnt recover well. OK, Vista might use more RAM, CPU and gfx, but RAM is cheap, I mean I got 4GB for about £70 here in the UK (And not the value rubbish), thats probably abput $100 in the...

    Newb question: Google ads vs. local ads

    I dont think they penalize you if you have other ads on the page. Although I would start with Google adverts until you are getting lots of hits, then take the Adsense adverts off when you can sell advert space to bars. If you have proof that your site gets 1000s of hits a day, and theyll get a...
