    Computer Business?

    New build will not boot and CPU fan not spinning.

    I knew 200w was going to be useless. I am going to get hold of a 450w PSU after the holiday and try that. Hopefully that is the problem. Adam

    PS2 on Monitor

    I have got a tuner card in my PC. It works, but I didnt get fantastic quality and I soon didnt bother to use it. At $16 it could be worth a try however. Adam EDIT- If you have an XBOX 360 elite, Im sure that you can use a HDMI - DVI cable.

    PS2 on Monitor

    Is it an LCD monitor? If it is then you can use the composite input (yellow phono) on the back of the monitor. If it isnt, then you may need an upscaler, something of this nature - http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=97994&doy=23m12&C=SO&U=strat15 Hope this helps. Adam

    Dell M1330 - Monitor Upgrade?

    Im thinking about getting the Dell M1330 and wondering is it worth upgrading the standard 220nits monitor to the UltraSharp White LED 300nits monitor? Also, is this a good laptop; im thinking about getting the £779 model, but upgrading the screen if it is worth it. Many Thanks

    I wanna upgrade RAM, need some proffesional help!

    The speed that you can upgrade to is usually whatever is supported by the motherboard. If you do not know this information, it would probably be best to buy an identical stick of what you already have to put into a spare slot, taking you from 512MB to 1GB. Adam
