    Gaming Mice Question.

    Looks like I shall be finding how to get some hands on time with the g500. A poster on another forum also said to look at the g400 too. If I get either of them I'll spending £30-40 less than I was expecting too, which as a student is great. Thanks for all the posts guys, its been a great help.

    Gaming Mice Question.

    Well the RAT seems like its out now because I'm not paying so much for something unreliable. The imperator 4g with its dual sensors seems nice. Does it actually have the ability to switch dpi on the fly though? And whats razers reliability and customer service like? Does the coating on the...

    Gaming Mice Question.

    Locals great as I'm nearby two of the larger components retailers in the uk. Howevr I'm only home for 2 days. Then at uni I'm knackered because as far as I know there aren't any local places that stock decent mice. Nearest is pc world and well saying I hate that place would be the polite way of...

    Gaming Mice Question.

    The grip thing is because I'm odd and tend to never hold a mouse in a specific way. I find myself using both styles and I'd prefer to not be limited however I could happily live with just the claw grip I reckon. With regards to the g500 how does it compare to the g9x? I ask as thats the only...

    Gaming Mice Question.

    This is exactly what confuses me with razer. Lots of people love em and lots of people seem to hate them. I have heard lots of praise for the g500 but nothing about the mionix. Thanks for the replies guys and I'll have a gander at the naos.

    Gaming Mice Question.

    I'm currently looking at buying myself a new mouse. Now its main use will be gaming and then the rest is bog standard browsing and a rare bit of word processing. Now I know a mouse is a personal choice so I'll tell you what games I play and what I do want from a mouse. I have read reviews and...

    Love AMD but i couldnt wait anymore

    I really want to buy an 8 core BD but the delays are pushing me towards sandybridge. My upgrades planned for late september. I've waited patiently but if I haven't seen concrete benchmarks I shant be waiting till BD actually ships. Im expecting AMD to go for a paper launch. Big fanfare for...

    Help me find the right Android Phone!

    Get the Samsung galaxy s 2 if you can, fantastic phone. If your on the american continent you might not be able to get it though. If your into modding it there is a great community of rom makers for the galaxy phones. The Atrix is a very worthy choice, the new LG dual core models like the...

    UEFI on 990 Chipsets.

    I agree on UEFI being the way forward, the fact that every sandybridge chipset I've seen has one was what made me wonder. How is the sabertooth? that happens to be what I'm looking at specifically.

    UEFI on 990 Chipsets.

    As far as I can see only Asus 990 boards seem to feature the new bios system. Are asus the only manufacturer bringing UEFI to AMD? Also this question is directed at sandybridge users. Is UEFI really that much of an improvement in real everyday usage? Because if it is I'll be looking at...

    Upgrade or new build?

    According to the biostar site his board will support all models of phenom 2. So a phenom 2 955 would be a reasonably priced upgrade that would add performance, add that to another 2gb of ram and you will have a much more capable system. The case suggestion is pretty valid too, if you want to...

    New Bulldozer CPU's in Q4 2011?

    Yeah an optimized offering so quickly after initial release looks bad and certainly treats loyal customers and early adopters badly. If thats how it happens I'll be skipping the first gen dozers as will others. But tbh that would seem silly because AMD will just be messing round with its...

    New Bulldozer CPU's in Q4 2011?

    Yeah cheesy everything I've heard points to computex, which to be honest makes complete sense for any release around this timeframe.

    Can AMD or Intel create a real SOC solution; universal for consoles and PCs?

    Streaming just isn't feasible. Some markets yes, but globally no. Just look at the disparity in internet speeds and caps just among the most developed countries? The infrastructure isn't there yet. In the UK where I live you have two options for speedy internet. Pay for cable, which is...

    New Bulldozer CPU's in Q4 2011?

    According to the Computex website its the 31st May to 4th June. So if AMD want to pull out bulldozer at a mainstream techshow soon we should have information by the 4th. So basically within the next ten days or so. AMD Far East Taiwanese branch is definately there...
