    Self installed fiber optics?

    Budget Build

    Someone came to me, and asked what I could do with their existing desktop which currently consists of a P4 with 256mb of ram, with a cheep n' cheerful 500w PSU and case. It will be running windows 7, but what I'm torn about is either to go with one of AMD's APU units or run with Intel's...

    Android Tablets

    So, I am on the hunt for a relatively cheap android tablet, around £200, and so far have narrowed it down to either the Nexus 7 with its lovely new 32gb option for the same price the 16 was previously priced at.

    Siri on the iPad?

    Anyone else annoyed with this? I'm just annoyed after getting my 4S, Siri is announced to be released on iOS6 devices, such as the iPad, and it was one of the reasons i went for the 4S over the 4... Although i don't mind that much, it just seems a bit like wasted money siting in my pocket...

    Really Slow Performace After un-OC'ing

    Hi Guy's, So basicly when I first got this rig, I was lazy and used the Deluxe's "turbo" mode, so it automaticly OC's to 4.3ghz. After a few month's, since i managed to get my C2 duo much faster than stock speeds, I decided to go manual and OC to 4.5 myself, following a guide by bit-tech see...
