RE: Top Laptop
if you want a quick laptop for emails, surfing watching/writing DVD (DL!) and have a budget of £500 this would be the computer to buy, nothing comes close. as with build quality they wouldnt be in business if their laptops fell apart would they?
and yeah Intel did take a step backwards with P4. should be well known around hardware comunites (geeks) know that Intels dual-core chips are as one hardware review site commented "Pentium 3 on steroids"

or get a life, your choice.
mods/admins can we close this thread its getting sad.
nestle is a nasty company to "work" for if you`re out in the fields all day picking coca beans for 10ths of pennys, only to be sold to fat westerners who want something for nothing.
work in Ethiopia for a week and that would working for nothing.

RE: 7 inch Portable DVD Player 75ukp
the ebuyer reviews seem honest and ebuyer rarely/never have crappy merchandise, I should know I spend about £1500 per year with them.
The DVD player has dropped 15 squid in 3 months and has optical out for lossless output to a suitable amplifier /surround kit.

RE: Blueyonder - NTL broadband customers..
think i`m paying nearly £35 per month for 2mb NTL and THE UPLOAD STILL SUCKS. (how can i Bt with 20kb/s up?!)
thanks, will give them a ring. still its all this money that means their network will support 10mbps very soon. yeah ok most goes to the fat cats but if you invest and stay loyal the benifits do appear.
should I whinge about the cost of broadband or digital tv (with a "i wanna pause tv wah wah" sky+) theme ?

RE: Aldi Medion PC next Thursday - 499.99
AMD Opteron comparison with Intels best offerings.
As you can see the bandwidth on Pentium systems is shared, thus causing a bottleneck starving the processor(s) of data. This bottleneck will exist on Intels dual core chips too as they share the same cache memory. If one core is accessing the memory the other will "sleep" for a few micro ops till it becomes available again. Each core on AMD`s setup has dedicated L1 cache and both can access the system memory independantly.
appologies for my newb comments earlier.

RE: Aldi Medion PC next Thursday - 499.99
I think INTELS business practices STINK of dog s***.
Their no.1 policy is to screw you as the customer over.
They make you upgrade and buy more expensive components for NO REASON
e.g
Creating the PCIe standard "just because" there`s plenty of UNUSEDbandwidth left in AGP. X8 wasn`t being used to it`s full potential. There is no difference between AGP and PCIe YET but it is the future.
Making people buy DDR2when there`s no real benefit and latencies are thru the roof. That`s why AMD haven`t bothered with DDR2 and will probably jump straight to DDR3 in `07
Making people buy price-fixed RAMBUScrap memory again poor latencies.
LGA775 mobo? Wanna go dual core? "SORRY"you need to buy A BRAND NEW MOTHERBOARD because we like screwing the customer and a BIOS update would be too clever.
so yeah INTELsucks and is responsible for GLOBAL WARMING with their 100w+ CPUs. AMD have cool `n quiet which downclocks the CPU when not needed! genius!
AMD`s 939 chips were designed FROM THE STARTto accomidate dual cores rather than two Pentium cores botched together, fighting for the same bus bandwidth!!!!
Support INTEL and you`re backing the loosers
RE: Uncapped broadband bargain - early warning!
I think with any ISP you`re going to get screwed over at some point.
They all have their weaknesses and problems. Here are a few tips.
[*] avoid premium rate ISPs (50p / £1 /min)
[*] keep jobs in the UK ! sign up with UK providers who have call centers in the UK
[*] check out ADSLGUIDE particulaly the ISP unhappiness section (real eye opener)
yes I used to work for a UK ISP.

RE: Aldi Medion PC next Thursday - 499.99
If you plan on playing 3D games your money would be better spent on a Athlon 64 machine. An average spec box could be built for £500 ish. Lots of socket 754 motherboards + processors on ebay currently, allowing you to use cheaper AGP cards.
no difference between AGP and PCIe yet its just where the technology is going.....
www.ebuyer.com or www.ebay.co.uk
OK S754 Motherboard = £50
Keyboard Mouse = £25
3000+ CPU = £67
1Gb RAM = £60
80Gb HDD = £45
400w PSU = £40
Graphics = £120 (eg GF 6600)
DVD RW = £35
Floppy = £3
Case = £40
= £485
