Wanted graphics card

Hey guys My system needs new graphics. I have the XfX 750SLi motherboard running a Q6600 with 4Gb of RAM. I wanna upgrade my graphics and have the option of either one nice GPU or 2 run in SLi. I don't even wanna hear anyone mention Radeon cards, it's Nvidia all the way for me boys! Any suggestions?...

Re: Lost USB key.

I once used 'Recover my files' to help me when my mother in law managed to knock the entire houses power off during a partitioning causing all my files to be lost - I could have killed her! In the end I managed to get back 75% of what was thought to be lost but it took me ages. When she visits now s...

Re: Free ram!!!!

I'm having problems getting this to work.....

When I tried to download the ram it got stuck in my router - I had to take the thing apart and prise it out with a screwdriver. Now my router won't work!

Re: Virtual Learning Environments.

Re: SSD

Would love one of these but can't really afford it on my rebuild budget - gonna opt for 2 SATA2 drives and Raid them for now

When prices drop will be in need of a reformat anyway and will get myself one then

If you can afford the SSD then go for it - ENJOY

Re: Proxy bypass

Just get used to the fact you won't be able to access anything of use from work. Our LA blocks all sorts of useful things - all images (we have to use wiki when producing powerpoints etc), gmail, all forums etc Some of us used proxies but that has been knocked on the head after the boss sent a warni...
