    Close call!

    Not sure why that's funny... like I said any brand can produce a faulty PSU. If you read his other post he replaced it with the exact same model and hasn't had a problem with it. As long as it powers my PSU I don't care about anything else. I use enough computer related forums to know that even...

    Any brand of PSU can be faulty, so it doesn't answer my question.

    Better how? I'm not convinced it's worth spending extra on a big brand. How long do they last for? The one I got today is an iCute 500w modular.

    Bought a modular one today. Old one still stank of something fried, took it apart to see what it was but couldn't find anything.

    It was a Jeantech 400watt, bought it about 3 years ago.

    I've had many PSU's die on me over the years but this is the first one that produced a very strong burning smell. From the smell I don't think it was far off catching fire! Typically it would have to happen on a Sunday evening when the shops have closed, so I've got to wait until tomorrow...

    spor wscok32.dll error

    I'm using Windows Home Premium 64bit and don't get any errors. Not much help but at least you'll know that it can work properly under 64bit and that you're not wasting your time looking for a solution.

    Spore = Brilliance.

    Have to say I'm a little disappointed now that I'm in Tribal. I was expecting to evolve a lot more appearance wise but you can't change that any more.

    Won't you be my (spore) neighbor?

    Would have thought the £ would have given it away ;) .... UK. Everything is more expensive here.

    Won't you be my (spore) neighbor?

    Pre-loading would have been £39.99 where as I've bought the game for £26.99 with free shipping. Its a no brainer really.

    Definitely loads faster for me and does seem to open pages faster.

    google chrome due to beta tomorow

    Seems to be working fine here. Only thing it's lacking is the ability to block adverts. I doubt there will even be an addon as they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. It's a nice touch how it uses transparency under Vista.

    Which Vista OS should I get?

    http://65.55.21.250/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/default.aspx Ultimate isn't worth the extra money over Home Premium, Basic is exactly what it says... basic and business, if you're a home user it's not for you. So I'd suggest Home Premium.

    Vista is not as bad as people say.

    I agree. The idea itself is good but they went OTT. I wonder how many people have actually left that option on.

    Vista is not as bad as people say.

    I've been using Vista Home Premium 64bit now for 5 months having used Linux for 2 years before that. Aside from an initial problem with detecting my monitor and mouse, both of which I fixed I have absolutely no complaints. This is by far the best all round MS OS I've ever used.
