Sometimes though, skill-less FPS's just seem to work. Take, Resistance; Fall of Man on the PS3. On multiplayer over the network the one hit kill servers work in its favour. Anybody can pawn anybody so it keeps the game refreshingly exciting.

Iv'e been watching the news with great interest recently. Unless you have been living in a cave you are probably aware of the story about a British female teacher who has been sent to prison for 15 days, for apparently insulting the prophet Mohammed by allowing her school kids to name a class...

I wouldn't like to say how far you could overclock the CPU using the stock heatsink and fan. Im looking at getting a Zalman CNPS9700-NT nVidia Tritium Super Aero Flower Cooler - Aria Technology when they eventually come back into stock.

You could also maybe get a maxi or mini isa. Tax free savings. Maxi up to £7000 saved in one year and a mix of shares & cash Mini isa up to £3000 in one year cash only. The returns aren't amazing though. i currently have a mini isa through 'National Savings & Investments' which at...

Stock markets are pretty hard to judge but sticking your money in things like mining or finance are generally safer (Northern Rock excluded) though the fluctuations in the markets aren't as rapid. Going through a broker does make the process easier although naturally they take a percentage. Im...

The best weapon in the Halo series was the little magnum type handgun with zoom. That together with melee attack was indeed the best tactic to kill just about anyone. I enjoyed Halo 1, put up with Halo 2 as the link-up multiplayer was pretty awesome, and then played Halo 3 and thought it were...

Ok ok, i'll say a difference. As previously mentioned in another post. Vista Ultimate has 'Texas Hold-em Poker'.

well 'Custom PC' lie in 10th in the world of Folding@home rankings. I just thought i'd play for a 'near the top of the table' team. I didn't even see that HWF had a Folding team until a few weeks ago.

15 Quid for a PSU. Any PSU that costs so little has to be a contender for the issue your having. Ive had similar freezing like you have experienced but mine is application specific and happens when i play either World of Warcraft or Battlefield 2. Iv'e got it down to a toss up between my...

300W sounds incredibly low. The 7800GS may not be the biggest power user in GPU terms but when you take in the rest of the rig and components that need power i'd say its a little low. That said, if you already have the 300w PSU then give it a whirl, you may be ok. If not then you really wanna...

Yep. why get DDR2 667mhz memory when the board supports 800mhz memory? Also for only a few dollars more (not the film) you can get the E6750 core 2 duo which has much better performance and if you wanna overclock, the cpu can run at 3.2ghz stable. Canada Computers - CPU > Desktop Intel...

yeah i read the Nvidia article about naming new GPU's with old/extinct GPU names. Have to say it confused the hell out of me also.:confused:

Ive done the deed and gone ahead and purchased the first bits i can afford in this months pay packet. Slightly different from what i was proposing originally and hope everything looks fine...

Asus P5W DH Deluxe i975X Socket 775 ATX MOTHERBOARD - Aria Technology Just before i go ahead and purchase this mobo, does anyone wanna tell me there is a better board out there for around the same price. Doesn't matter, i've changed the cpu i want and the FSB speed is more than this mobo...

Having had Mcaffe AV before AVG i can well and truly say id rather have AVG. For a start i don't get all that spam saying i need to upgrade for another £40 quid cause a new worm/trojan (made by the people who make the AV software) renders the earlier model useless. Nor do i get spammed with...

yeah i sometimes get that error message too, i just put it down to MS being shit and just reload explorer.

Have you tried disabling your firewall/anti-virus while installing or maybe installing the games in safe mode.

DDR400? any particular make, or just the mass produced stuff? You just got a bog standard PSU. When upgrading to a GPU that is gonna use more power its probably best to get a PSU that can cope with the extra demand. The Generic PSU's aren't to reliable (not that im bitter cause my PSU is...

Forget the 8600, there not too amazing and the performance you will get out of it will probably leav you wishing you had spent that bit more. Seen as you can get an XFX 8800GT for £117 inc VAT i'd go for that. You get more bang for your bucks. Computer hardware and software at amazing prices...

Im stuck for choice between the Super NES and the Gamecube. Super NES - Mariokart, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Zelda; A Link to the Past, Super Metroid Gamecube - Monkeyball, Res Evil 4, Star Wars Rogue Leader, Harvest Moon, Pikmin
