Hi all :) I need to upgrade my computer. I play World of Warcraft, and though my graphics is fine for it (GeForce 8500 GT) my CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3500+) is now showing it's age. I want to replace my cpu, motherboard and ram. I have a budget of £200 for the lot (I'll be getting a better graphics...

I see I'm now yelled at for disappearing! I won't do it again, honest :P

Before I give in and do a reformat, is there anything I can do to get XP to detect a keyboard and mouse again? I recently bought a wireless keyboard and mouse, and the first time I went into XP after plugging them in it installed the drivers fine and worked. The second time I booted, fine. The...

For those who don't know, my desktop system is called Matilda. At some point I'll show her off properly, but for now here's a few of pics of her desk. I really like my dual monitor setup. I normally have MythTV running on the larger monitor (22") and use the smaller one (19") for everything...

Being the reasonably girly geek that I am (to those who don't know me- I am female :p) I have decided I want a purple computer case, as mine is falling apart. Can anyone find one? Preferably under £50, as I'm not using it for any serious overclocking, but if all that can be found is more than...

I've had a decent week at college- first I got my report (All good except overworking :p) then I discovered a way around the really restrictive college firewall... I put a Kubuntu live CD in the pc, boot it up, and surf :D As I'm not logging in to the network, and the connection is automatic...

Just out of interest I want to see if there are any other female :anisx:ers out there. There's nothing wrong with men (in fact, I prefer them ;)) but I haven't seen any other girls out there. Or am I the only one?

OK, the problem we have is this. In my partner's new machine, we've got 2 harddrives, both Maxtor, one 250GB and one 200GB. The bios detects them at these sizes, but Windows doesn't. We've tried slipstreaming sp2 for the installation, but it still only shows 127GB of space for each one. Any ideas?

OK, everything is bought, and we're just waiting for the processor to arrive before we start building. This is for my partner, who doesn't like naming his computers, so I'm giving the project his nickname instead. Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Processor: Opteron 146 CABNE RAM: VDATA Memory...

OK, to go with the new machine we're building for my partner, I'm getting an Opteron 146. However, I don't know which stepping is the best. These are the ones available on ebay: CABYE CAB2E CABNE Which one should I go for? I've got an ASUS A8n-SLI Deluxe motherboard (partner chose it, it's...

I need a new DVD burner. Something cheap and cheerful will do, so long as it does the job and isn't too expensive :p Since they're all so similarly priced these days, do you have any suggestions?

OK. since I googled this and couldn't find anything, I was wondering if someone could help me with a telnet question. We want to change our nameservers from jndhost.biz to jndhost.com. We tried doing it through cpanel, but got nowhere. I was wondering if anyone knew the telnet command for...

OK, didn't know where to put this (didn't know if you'd even like this question!) but I'm in desperate need of a new server. Requirements are (as typed by my partner- these are flexible): At least an AMD Sempron 2600+ 1 gig ram 100 gig hard drive 1000 GB bandwidth (or as much as possible)...

OK, for my machine, I'm not ready to upgrade motherboard and processor (yet), though when I do I'll be getting a new graphics card to go with it. What do you think would be the best AGP graphics card for me to get, considering I can only spend around £80-100 max? I was looking at the 6600GT...

Every time I try to view someone else's personal profile, or rig details, it tells me I don't have permission. Do I not have enough posts for the privilege (in which case, when will I get it ;)) or is this something that you fantastic guys are going to fix soon? Thanks, Danni
