Radeon 5770 is decent, but for $200 you may as well go with the 5800 series IMO.

o.O that is too hot. Probably dust.

You can also clean out dust. Buy a can of compressed air ($5 or something) and clan it out.

Last week, I got a claw drop and was happy to have the extra cash. I made more than triple that from flipping yesterday, and I didn't even care (i was more interested in the market implications). I'm not trying to show off or anything, I just have to express the magnitude of the cash we're dealing with. I see exactly what you are talking about, and yes flipping can make you a ton. But if you compare it to the limited RS, it feels a lot more free - you can do whatever. It would be extreme to compare it to a totalitarian government vs 'normal' government, but IMO that's the sort of thing, albeit on a much much smaller scale.

I agree that it feels so incredibly different - but I disagree with you when you say it feels fake. To me, it feels free.

TBH, I would talk to your dad and tell him that there are many other well-known - and better - AV's out there and he should use them instead.

Your system specs are not amazing, but you should be able to play RS easily on lower settings with those. Are you playing in HD or SD? Try SD. Also need to know your graphics card. To find out: Device manager (theres a button on the side of that window you screenied) > Display adapter.

Check your driver software. Some are possible, I think Realtek might be but just have a play around with it. If not, splitters are inexpensive; $3 at the very most.

O.O this looks fantastic. How is it to play? A little fiddly I would assume, and no keyboard input :/

Open the case and give it a good clean up with a soft brush or compressed air. Dust could be blocking fans, so give em a good clean, but be very careful. Double check the fans can spin freely.

What kind of beeping is it? Could be the graphics card getting too hot, or generally stuff getting hot. When does it beep and when doesn't it?

That looks absolutely sick. What demo said, they should price it very competitively (not as much as 3DS though, they still need a profit). It looks like a drastic improvemet over the PSP 2000, which I've got and never use. Are they ditching the UMD disks in favour of chips or downloads? Hope so, they were a pain to carry around. Hope the screen is good, the PSP2000's was a little disappointing. 3G and touchscreen sounds ownage. Just add a phone in there, and you're sorted!

Sad to see this :( I'm inclined to think that this was an internal terrorist group, not an international name such as Al-Qaeda. RIP.

Just under half way through Ben Collins' autobiography. It's amazing the level of detail he's got in it, so far back into his life. It's a pretty good read, first book after a few months of not reading much. Can't wait for the last book of the Inheritance cycle.

Computer. Music

Laptops generally run quite hot, their cooling systems aren't great. Seeing that it's still under warranty (I assume), give HP a call and explain how the fan is probably messed up and they should fix you up if the problem persisits.

Any one of a number of things. Could be fans, HDD, speakers, etc. Computers do make sounds, I wouldn't worry. Have a close listen with perhaps the side of the case open to see whats making the noise.

That's absolutely perfect, thanks all :)

Ok. In that case, how so I make it boot to a setup screen like big manufacturers do (when buying a new computer from Dell etc.) for the end user to set up their own preferances? Thanks again.

Ok thanks. Is OEM installation the same as normal installation? Or are all setup options (usernames, etc) left up to end user? Can I install drivers before going through setup? And do I need to format HDD before installation or will it do that for me? Thanks.

I plan on making a computer for a friend's friend. I plan on buying Windows 7 x64 OEM for tihs. A few questions 1) How does the OEM software work? Do I put the disk in and then it installs and you input the product code, but it is left to setup by the end user? 2) How do I install drivers before giving it to the end user. An explaination/link to explaination about OEM OS software would be amazing. My searches haven't been successful. Thank you in advance.

This is an interesting concept. So it's.. get everything yourself without buying from players/GE?

64.5GB is rather a lot. If you deleted them though, I wouldn't think there would be any increase in speed of your computer. The only thing those files are doing is filling up your HDD, not slowing down your system.
