I am aware that this forum tends to favour Windows over Macs in general, but I'd appreciate some neutrality here please ;) And please forgive the long post I'm off to uni at the end of September after being on a gap year and earning a bit of money. At the moment I've got a six year old Dell...

Have you installed the drivers? As you don't know which graphics card it is I can't be sure, but this should work.

I went ahead and ordered the DS. Got Brain Training (aka Brain Age in the States) with it for free, a total of £90 (about $145) including shipping which is pretty good by UK prices. Also ordered a used copy of Advance Wars Dual Strike and I'm going to pick up one of Zelda, Mario Kart, New Super...

I think I am leaning towards the DS slightly... it's cheaper and the games seem more original. I have to admit, when I used to have my old PSP, I hardly ever took advantage of the multimedia features because I have an iPod for music and don't care much for watching videos on the go. As for the...

Thanks for all the advice, although I'm still completely torn between the two :confused: Edit: and unfortunately I can't afford both ;)

;) But thanks all the same.

First of all: I don't want to spark a fanboy debate, so if you want to argue over which is better please start your own thread so that it can be deleted separately. Basically, I'm away at uni and my PS3 is back at home, and as I've got a long train journey between there and where I'm living at...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I spoke to the friend I'm building it for and we decided to go for the E7200 based on the fact it was £50 cheaper and gave similar performance in most current games. The final build will be a 512MB PowerColor HD 4850, an Intel E7200, the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L...

Just been pretty busy with life in general really, nothing in particular... Just a couple more questions for everyone - which board is better, the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L or the MSI P35 Neo2-FR iP35 remembering that the system won't be used for overclocking? They're both about the same price, so...

Thanks for the input so far guys. Based on your advice here's the system I've got planned as things stand: Intel C2D E7200 - £82.95 MSI P35 Neo2-FR - £63.70 Sapphire HD 4850 512MB - £129.94 Corsair VX 550W - £55.45 OCZ 2GB DDR2 800MHz 4-4-4-15 Kit - £30.53 WD 250GB SATA 16MB Cache - £33.19 SATA...

I’m planning to build a new computer for a friend. At the moment he has a dodgy Tiny PC with a 3GHz P4 and a gig of ram. We’re going to keep the case and CD drives, but more or less everything else will be going. Although it’s not intended as a top-of-the-range machine, the new build does need a...

Wow, that was quick. The HD 3000 series is still pretty fresh.

Done. :)

Thanks to CrackerJack for sending this in.

In the past, Macs were sometimes argued to be better for image editing than Windows-based PCs. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if this was true or a complete myth, but it looks like things may not be like that anymore with the introduction of Adobe's Windows-only 64-bit version of Photoshop...
