  1. Football Season 2006/2007

    Who the heck is Frank Lampard? Michael Ballack?
  2. Anime and manga discussion

    I guess there's been no news on a new Fullmetal Panic? I have all this anime to watch but haven't bothered watching it yet. Is Mai Otome Zwei any good?
  3. PC Games Screenshots: HL2:Ep2, TF2, Portal

    Wasn't it delayed till Winter this year? Could mean the specs could be bumped up sadly.
  4. Pc-specialist.co.uk

    Seems as though the PSU's they use are FSP branded. I don't any other good companies but it's a good idea to look into them, alot of opinions will vary for PC E-tailers. P.S R6 Vegas is badly optimised for most machines, it's not even designed for dual cores! Recommended cpu spec is for 3ghz single core..
  5. Pc-specialist.co.uk

    I bought this machine I'm on last May and it's been fine. Since then they've changed their logo and cases which look much better than mine now . I'm not sure how good they are now but what I got was a good solid machine for a decent price. Besides my PSU and GFX card being brands I've never heard they used some well known brands such as Lite-on, Western Digital and Asus. (The PSU is very stable still) Also the memory in mine is elixir branded which is suprisingly fast still nowadays they use Corsair branded memory though It must be hard to find a good decent PC retailer which gives good all round service and that don't overcharge..
  6. Vista Thread

    Home Basic is pretty useless though. Might aswell keep XP as that does more and Vista would eat 512mb of RAM alive I'm pretty sure. 1gb is like the minimum to what XP was with 512mb.
  7. Vista Thread

    That's pretty damn expensive though.. I am guessing major hardware changes includes the motherboard, CPU and hard drive or is it different this time around?
  8. Vista Thread

    1gb without any memory heavy programs should be fine for Vista too but I'm pretty sure 2gb is the sweet spot for Vista especially if you play those memory hogging games that they are nowadays.
  9. Vista Thread

    The OEM is the one that's one machine only obviously otherwise you'll need to buy the pricey retail version. The Upgrade version you have to have another OS installed it install it. Not sure if the OEM this time around allows many hardware upgrades either.
  10. Vista Thread

    Don't forget you need to upgrade your card to make use of DX10 when it comes out.. I on the other hand may need to get 2 gig kit (1gb x2) seeing as my machine runs faster with 2 sticks rather than 4. That plus the new GFX card and Vista means I've got to pay alot to just play the next gen of PC gaming. And it's not guaranteed that it will work flawlessly.
  11. Official Issues and Problems Thread

    Ironically I ordered mine on the 30th aswell and it got dispatched the same day but it hasn't arrived for me either. I should of waited and got it from the shops..
  12. Official Issues and Problems Thread

    My official cables got shipped from P-A today, but I seriously recommend the Gameplay cables as they look fine to me if you don't import otherwise. All in all I save a cool fiver importing them rather than waiting forever for the officials to come out in Europe
  13. Red Steel Thread

    I got this game with some christmas money and it ain't as bad as the reviews said. It's very enjoyable even though the dialogue and story are poor the action is great. The controls are fine.
  14. Official component cables vs madcatz

    I would have got the third party one last week but seeing as it might come out on Friday it's worth waiting for the official. Anymore delays and I don't think anyone could tolerate composite anymore.
  15. Official component cables vs madcatz

    I have the gameplay one they seem fine good quality although I can't compared them to the official ones, apparently the difference isn't huge. Personally I couldn't wait any longer, it was getting ridiculous waiting for the officials.
  16. GAME Rep: Componant Cables in January?

    I managed to get a Gameplay Wii component cable before it ran out of stock. Hopefully it arrives tommorow so I can finally play Zelda.
  17. Wii Wriststraps Recalled

    I've had 0 problems with my strap although it seems like they used some pretty weak material butI went out to buy some Silicone gloves on it just incase.
  18. GAME Rep: Componant Cables in January?

    I did 2 orders from Gameplay as I forgot to pick Next day delivery it might not matter but I picked the 0.99p First class one on my first order. My first order is probably already dispatched though.
  19. GAME Rep: Componant Cables in January?

    I've ordered both incase they gameplay run out of stock. I can always return it or sell it for a profit.
  20. GAME Rep: Componant Cables in January?

    On the GAME website the date has changed to next week. Just been on the phone to my GAME and they don't know. WTF is going on?
  21. wii disk scratched

    It's not supposed to scratch your discs?
  22. wii disk scratched

    I don't know how the drive works but Discs are always bound to scratch. A small scratch shouldn't make a huge difference. If it get's really bad I send it off to get the disc skimmed.
  23. Official Issues and Problems Thread

    A minor issue but my Wii remote strap seems be flossing loose fibres on it..
  24. Routers - what you got and did it work?

    Linksys WRT54GS with HyperWRT thibor firmware. My previous Belkin router was crashing everyday but this one has been up for almost 3 weeks without crashing.
  25. Official Issues and Problems Thread

    Component cables are out this Friday I don't know how many will be available though.
