I have only recently been informed about Handbrake.
Im warming to it, and I now have it for Linux and thats a good thing... One of the few reasons Im staying with windows is video conversions and...

The other day, I fancied a bit of a change. Mainly through boredom than anything.

So, I swapped my main AMD PC with my Server PC.

The System is :-

I7-970 6 Core @ 3.2
Saphire Pure Black...

Ah, I know Im a tad behind everyone, but I recently got hold of the Flaming Blade GTI.
Quite happy with it I suppose, but I had a 920 with it, and then a few days later I found the 6 Core i7 and so...

I have doen a number of upgrades in the last few weeks, and one of them was taking the I7-960 from its original Mobo ( Acer based M5811 ) to its current Board that is the Asus P7H55-M

The reason...

Sorry to hijack, but ....

In a similar manner, I am using a PC as my file server, and I am perfectly happy with it for most things, however, Im finding that since Im in the process of moving my...

My old A8N-SLI / Opteron setup has 4x1GB in it and it runs the RAM at 333Mhz

I had previously had 2x2GB and they were on 400MHZ

It kind of annoyed me but in truth there is no difference at...

Not happening.

The Circuitry of the CD Lens to the AMP is totally different to what is used for an AUX type input.

Try it.

But send our condolences to your parents first.

Among the trillions of sweet WAV, FLAC & MP3 files I have, I have some nice Vocal tests for multiple Speaker setups...

One in particular that I use all the time is for my basic 5.1 Setups where it...

Ok, one final update.

I have setup the Netgear WPRT834 Router with the very same settings as the LINKSYS WRT54G ( With the weird Firmware ) but it still will not play like I need it to.
I tried...

Ok, Im toying about with an older PC here.

Asus A8N-SLI
Opteron 175 @ Stock
4 x 1GB Corsair 4400
2 x 7900GT ( SLI )
XFI Gamer
2xSeagate 160GB ( Striped Raid on Sata Ports 0 +...

Im using Avast and used NOD32 before that. Both are very nice indeed.

Firewall is the built-in one.

I am constantly looking on some horrific sites, downloading oodles of hookie junk, and doing...

Yes, you are correct.

As I said, until now, I was only using the Modem/Router and the switch really... The hub was added simply because the number of PCs kept going up, but in truth, I only really...

Hmm... yes, turn the WAN port into a Switch port to effectively give me a switch with 5+0 ports instead of 4+1

The thing is, that I have done that but I still get no joy in getting the one PC to...

This is how it is now.

All PCs see each other just fine

But this way connects the other 4 but they dont see the one on its own, now can it see the...

Ok, yes why not.

Please hang on cos my drawing skills are... Well, lets just say that they are'nt

Ok, this way will work, and I know this.

BUT...

This way will only work with me only having up to 3 PCs on teh second Router... Using the second router as only a switch of course.

However, I...

Right, I have a number of options with my home network.

I am currently using a netgear DG834PN Moden router and to this, I have my master PC connected to port 1 and the switch connected to port 2...

Got to give credit where its due, but my first 64Bit PC was an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.
Broke the 3Ghz barrier on a couple of chips with that, and in fact I still have the board. Some thing are just...

As an extention to this, I have recently aquired a TRI-SLI Mobo.. .An Asus P5N32-E SLI

Now, I have finished with my twiddling about experiments with SLI, but 3?

Anyway, I have got a pair of...

I only liked UnderGround2

I hope they bring out UnderGround 3 next, because Most Wanted was not too clever, Carbon was hyped up and failed to deliver, and as for ProStreet and now UnderCover......

I got to say that I loved it.

Its faster than Vista, so far its had a complete 100% success rate of everything I have thrown at it, its also half the size of vista too!


Its basically vista...

Another vote for O&O

v10 kind of lost the plot but v11 has rekindled my love for it although my personal favourite is v8.6 as this runs faster than any others plus its Vista and XP friendly in...

Right, I have recently been given a Toshiba SA-203 LapTop.

Its got a big block going down the screen, and its near to impossible to use

I have shoved a normal screen onto it in the hope the t I...

WAG54G Here

I was using a v1 until somehtign like a year ago a storm took my last one out, ( also took the Network port of my Mobo too, and a PCI slot as well? ) but I was so happy with it that I...
