    Simple Reformatting Question

    Yep you will since you will need to install the sata controller when installing windows, or it will bsod. Also having a floppy disc with some partitioning tools on it like fdisk often makes the process easier

    Help! Driver issues and game lag.

    Aren't the hydravision drives for multimonitor functionality? You should check that you have the latest Radeon Drives for your mobility gfx chip. If my memory serves me correctly, they have an app that will check to see if the mobility radeon drivers are compatible with your gfx chip.

    2 x 7800GT's or X1800 XL??

    Yeh I remember reading in cpc that no matter how high they set the graphics settings, it didn't make a difference on performance, even at 1600x1200 with 8xaa and 16xaf in hl2, it ran at like 80fps with all teh other settings on high. They are damn powerful cards and the only reason I think i...

    Issues with 9800 Pro and less then 2.8 Ghz true?

    I find that NEP (North East Peripherals) is the best local place for pc stuff. Thats where I bought the parts for my own pc when I first built it (Athlon xp2600+, 512mb ddr333, geforce ti4200 etc.). They are pretty good, just at the top of George street, not the John Lewis end though. I tend...

    2 x 7800GT's or X1800 XL??

    Em, not all of us overclock our hardware that much. The FX-57 used in teh test was cooled with dry ice and clocked at about 3.6ghz and the gfx card was also cooled witih dry ice with the memory running at almost 2ghz and the core at 900mhz. Now thats extreme overclocking and you can't really use...

    Issues with 9800 Pro and less then 2.8 Ghz true?

    I only use PC World for ink cartridgdes and stuff like that. Other than that, I don't go in there for pc stuff. The workers are the worst ever apart from the odd decent ones (or atleast thats what its like in aberdeen), they don't have a clue about stuff and also they try and get you to buy the...
