Yeah, I like the look of those semi auto cars. Even the Vauxhall Corsa introduced it a few years back. Plus the gran tourer Ferraris.

Are these external hdd just a standard sata or ata drive with a usb converter on then? I kind of expected them to be directly wired into a pcb with a usb socket on. When things like this happen to drives its usually easy enough to put a whole new pcb on the drive but given this 1tb drive cost...

In all the years ive been jumping in and out of cars ive come across 3 automatics. My aunt bought a banger from an auction when I was about 10.... A VW Golf A mates dad (registered as disabled) got given a Ford Focus by the government. Auto cos he was disabled. And my girlfriends dad has a top...

I just let windows make its own dogs dinner of virtual memory... I dont really understand why its always in use so I just let it do its own thing. To be honest my first thought when I read you post was that maybe you have read it wrong. Installed Physical Memory (RAM) is 6.00 GB Total...

:) Mine is F12 too! I missed the one off !

The only fix I can think of is to open it up and swap the usb socket over with a new one. I know it would void the warranty but the warranty is useless if they wont fix the drive for you. Swapping bits over on pcbs can be quite fiddley but with someone to hold things in place for you while you...

If you install both OSs on the same drive you get the choice as to which OS you want to boot from. Its literally a list... 1. Microsoft Vista 2. Windows XP Default will load in (30,29,28,27...) secs This is provided by the bootloader stored in the MBR of the drive. Because you are using...

I use RAID 1 now for my documents but before that I just used WinRAR copy/paste onto two harddrives. That way I know exactly what is being backed and what isn't. I wouldn't trust a backup program to get it right!

Your links dont seem to work so I cant check your hardware. Its possible your motherboard doesnt like your ram. When you start using big modules like that motherboards can be fussy as to exactly which ram modules you use. The motherbaord manuals usually explain concisely which ram to buy.

You have kinda answered your own question. If you have a DDR2 motherbaord then you will need DDR2 ram. The speed of the ram is dependent on what your current ram is running at. Download pcwizard and check to see what speed your memory is running at, how many slots you have spare and also as to...

It looks like something from a James Cameron film. I prefer the sff dell cases nowadays :) Am I just getting old?

I think your getting your Celsius and Fahrenheit mixed up a bit here. If you give your temps in the same measurement someone might be able to help. I think im right in saying you use Fahrenheit in the US? Despite that Celsius seems to be the norm with computers. Kelvin aint used. I know...

When it comes to digital cameras id only go for Canon or Nikon. You can get other brands but im guessing you dont want to spend £4k. Ignore digital zoom. Optical zoom is whats important. But bigger the zoom range, a lower quality image will be achieved. Thats why people spend £££s on fixed...

I could probaly google this but might as well ask a Dutchman! Is Holland a province of Netherlands? Ive always thought Holland is the part of NL which is below sea level and is not an interchangeable name with Netherlands. Do you guys call it "the Netherlands" or just Netherlands? One thing I...

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain being England, Scotland and Wales. We used to be Kingdom of England (inc Wales), Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Scotland. Then the United/Kingdom of Great Britain. Then United/Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Then...

Hardware Raid 1 (or 5) is the way to go.

lol, VISA has been out for years!

Ive not had chance to watch the videos.... but is it all petrol in america? No diesel?

Cos I assume its down to a bad installation. The "overheating" cpus ive bought and come across over the years are usually plastered in thermal paste or have not at all. I think this is the first dodgy cpu ive bought. The stepping codes told me that but I missed the evidence. Im not that...

Ive never understood the point of either! Whats wrong with a phone!
