SSDs are £1-1gb ratio if you look for it. I still think at that price its not that great since games are like over 10gb these days (shogun 2 is 15gb).

I would like to change this 750gb sammy F1 to a backup/storage but i just dont need too, i was sad to hear that they sold their hard drive division to seagate. I remember when seagate swallowed up maxtor too.

Do it, and then post it to me, do you know if they will work in my pentium 4 rig, i'm sure ide won't bottleneck it too much

if you plan to plug it into a P4, how bout i send you a hand grenade instead? you can plug that in to a floppy drivebay and it sure as hell wont bottleneck nothing

no thanks, that floppy drive still gets used occasionally, needs an upgrade though really as that 440mx can struggle during certain scenes of crysis if you have the AA turned up too high

EDIT: Its not the slowest computer i've seen though, my friend had to turn down the graphics in minecraft and it still lags a bit

Mine will be for the video editing rig. OS + Adobe Premiere. Then all my project files can go on the 4-drive RAID array :pimp: I won't lie, I installed a couple of games on the array just for a laugh, but they're gone now.

we've got 4 pc's and 2 laptops, technology gets bought for this one and slowly makes its way down the computing food chain
 
Yea same here - my old video editing rig is now my gaming rig (video rig's gotta be better than the gaming one) and most of my old gaming rig is my net rig now. Doing my bit for recycling...

Just did UNIT 4 BIOLOGY! it was mental.... too many thinking questions, have a feeling everyone but me FAILED!


Overclockers are trying to get rid of their Samsung F1 disks £29 for 750gb and £33 for 1TB, 30gb vertex was £50 which was alright IMO... It is suposed to be for my brother but i have a feeling he is not going to reformat soon so, i might be using it within 3 weeks!

I tired to get a part time at Jessops today...Failed badly, the guy was like NO try in Watford?! Need to try somewhere else :( maybe the Prontaprint down the road?

Serves me right for not insulating the vrm's on the back of my mobo,i took the heatsink assembly apart and found a puddle!the thermal paste covered cpu and socket were the least of my worries.
Eventually removing the paste was an easy buyt time consuming fix though,i used nail varnish remover and a soft bristled toothbrush for about 2 hours
My eldest boys computer messing up is his fault for covering it with towels to make it quieter :banghead:

LOL WTF? why did he do that, did you not warn him about obstructing the fan?
 
Why would you cover it with a towel? Wouldn't it be better to take a fan out

he is probably a little young to understand that :)
 
Finally completed Splinter Cell conviction..Next games to complete on my list for the summer are: Another Century's Episode R,AC:Brotherhood,Dead Space 2 on zealot mode,Far Cry 2,Spiderman Shattered Dimension and Mass Effect 2 on hard mode..Which to play to complete 1st i am like quater or half way through zealot mode for Dead Space 2.
 
he is only 11 cheesy,and i dont bother checking his tip of a room to notice his computer is hidden in a mess of towels!
but yes if he would have said something about the noise i would of course have sorted something.
Kuro: i havent completed SC:C yet but i am making good pace into completing FC2,which isnt quite so tedious if you don't get sidetracked into doing too many side missions.
I don't know the other games you mentioned but after FC2 i will begin the epic task of getting 100% in GTA:IV,i have done the ELC missions but the main game has got a long long way to go!
It's going to be a long long time till its completed if we keep having weather like todays too.
