Gonna order them soon! Was just playing F.E.A.R on my pc (see sig) and it plays ok, but I have to turn down alot of the settings, hopefully make it look alittle nicer with teh new card!
Just out of interest, do you have the deluxe or non-deluxe version of the Asus A8n-SLi Ren?
Hmm I would go for more power but 600W's seems alot.. Not sure If I will need that much, and If I really need to then I could always just buy another one.
Thanks for your answers though Ren.182, pretty certain about the mobo and gfx card because it seems like a really good price for it. Will...
Thanks :D
Will do, was surprised that my sisters managed to get it, I hadn't seen it in any shops where I live, just on online stores. But its cool that I did!
Thanks for the reply, I think that a 7800gt will be fine. As for the motherboards, i'll check out the spec sheets for them to find out the real differences in the 2. Think the psu will be fine, got a good review in customPC and they really tested them throughly.
Hello all, firstly, I'm planning an upgrade to the following:
BFG GeForce 7800 GT OC 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-010-BG) £235

Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard...
Flashgot, customisegoogle, tabbrowser preferences, gmail notifier, download manager tweak, halfllife2.net forums menu (see sig), feedviewer. THats pretty much it
Do you have any themes installed? Not sure if they affect browser buttons that are actually on the page, but I would try reverting back to the standard ff theme. If you are having trouble starting FF then open it via the safe mode shortcut in teh program files folder in the start menu.
Azureus is the best one I have used. Pretty easy to use, loads of control over torrents, loads of features, free and open source! What more can you ask for!

I like the name now, didn't at first, but I have to say that it does look cool. If you can use the effects like the transparency etc in custom themes, then that should be cool, get a really ace lookign theme to go with it because I always think that the standard windows themes are alittle chunky.
I know that you can get 5.1 surround sound earphones which are supposed to be really good. Think they are made my a company called speedlink or medusa, something like that. Also Sennheiser are a decent make. Zalman surround sound earphones are pretty good too.
I'd say that your 6600gt will be fine for a while yet, I mean my 9800pro still runs fear (not the best, but it does if you turn off some of the nice effects) and it runs hl2/cs:s great also. When you need to, you should upgrade your video card, but stick with what you have just now.
so you have 2 problems, one with mirc not being able to connect and the other is that you no longer see the server list in multiplayer games that run through steam (I think this what you mean although i'm not sure). If thats right, then it sounds like you have some sort of internet connection...
I use Deer Park Alpha 2 and its great, couldn't see many new features in the FF beta 2 and plus the extension/theme support is pretty bad. I'll get it when there is more extension support.
I think it would be a good idea for you to post what you plan on buying/ordering here before you go ahead and do so. That way we can advice you if its gonna work!

LOL oh right, i thought that you said you hadn't. Oh well, then hmm thats pretty strange. You tried installing wmp10 through windows update, that always seems to work for me..
I think that as you install windows, it adds the driver for the sata controller so i can see the drive during installation. if you format, it gets rid of the drivers and can't see it when it comes to install, I think, not totally sure though.
EDIT: I hit F6 anyway and just install the drivers...
