This the kinda thing that you are after. Unfortunately (unless you are Australian) I found it on eBay Australia. Hope that helps, Doug.

Cheers for your quick answer! Are there any boards that will support AM2+ Phenom II's? Or should I save for an AM3 chip.

Hi, Will this mobo work with this CPU out of the box? The gigabyte page here says it will, if it is a REV2.0 board, but not if it is a REV1.0 board. The ebuyer page does not specify which one it is. The REV1.0 will work if you update the bios (I think). Is ity safe to assume the ebuyer...

The PS3 connects via USB? I don't have one so I don't know. But from what I gather from the webpage: The adapter thing you are looking at is for connecting two USB devices over long distances by using the CAT5 cable. Such as a USB webcam to a computer which is on the otherside of the house...

My P4 2.66Ghz idled at 30-35'C with the stock cooler, although airflow in the case is pretty crap. Those recordings were using the sensors in Ubuntu. My desktop has nearly the same spec's as yours (40Gb HDD, 512Mb RAM). Only I have a whooping great 64mb video card. Runs Ubuntu perfectly...

By the 'standard power unit' do you mean a kettle type lead: By the sound of the second part of your quote '12v 5A' it seems as if the kettle lead should plug into an voltage adapater, which will then go to the monitor? Are the line in / line outs the right size for headphone cables and...

You don't need to go to London to get a laptop!?! Most of the time online prices are far cheaper. And London is a BIG place, it's going to be quite hard to choose one shop out of the thousands that there will be in London, if your dead set on getting one from a shop. Gareth: You...

And for those in the UK: It seems like the EU have done us over again: Full page link here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8118749.stm It looks as if you will have to pay £80 to "upgrade" your operating system, but you will recieve the same disc as if you bought it brand new...

I mean the speakers built into the laptop don't work. The laptop has a headphone/lineout, which has S/PDIF built into it as well, and a microphone/line in. So two 3.5mm sockets in all. I haven't tried headphones, but when I connected my amp and speakers up via analog line out they worked...

Just bumping this before all you helpful Americans log on :-)

Socket 775 is only for Intel - but a lot of processors use it. It is going out of date now, nothing wrong with it at all, but the newer chips are using different sockets. You can get a Core2Duo or Core2Quad to go in LGA775. But just because the sockets match it doesn't mean it will work. I'm...

My girlfirend has one of those and it is pretty good. I think it needs to be plugged inot the PC (and the PC on) to copy though, which might not be good if you want to do lots of copying. Also, just bear in mind the cost of ink. I have another HP printer and the ink costs a bomb! Hope that...

As both Andycapped and I have stated, the Pentium D is the older dual-core. Therefore the technology is inferior to the technology employed by the newer Core2Duo's and, prior to the C2D, the CoreDuo's. Since the Pentium D's etc., the technology that allows for faster speeds has, to a certain...

Pentium D is a dual core Pentium. See this Intel link, and this wikipedia link. Core2Duo's have a smaller architecture and faster FSB and larger L2 cache's than the Pentium D's, which were Intel's first dual cores (I think). Hope that helps, Doug.

What I mean is, that anything the average user does, that comes with XP, comes with Ubuntu. You can also add music player to the list of things (Rythmbox). Doug.

Ubuntu is probably as complete as XP / Vista in terms or programs you might use. As Bodaggit said, it comes with FireFox for the internet. It also has Gimp - a photo editting software, Pidgin - for MSN'ing, lots of little games, a word processor, calc etc.. When you are installing it you can...

Hi, I Windows 7 on my laptop, and it is working great (ish - bit sluggish on my laptop). Only problem is that the speakers don't work. I have only just noticed this as I usually have it on mute. When I plug in some speakers into the headphone jack they work fine, but when I want to use...

Your definately right about it being comfortable!

OK, Thanks guys. Any idea about the Power Fan Header? Doug.
