Oh, I misread and saw E74 instead of E73. Thanks for pointing that out :)

Edit: Misread E73 as E74. I would give microsoft a call to see what they say first.

Hard as in money? I would say herblore or prayer. Hard as in effort required? Runecrafting I would say.

I have a Intel Q6600 @2.4GHz on a MSI P43-C51 motherboard. The motherboard has switches on it to change the speed of the FSB, as shown here, although I will probably use the option to enter the speed manually in the BIOS. Am I correct in saying that the speed of the cpu is directly proportional to the speed of the FSB? My fsb is running at '266', megahertz i presume. This is the minimum, max is 800 (as said in my bios). When increasing the theoretical speed of the FSB, the theoretical speed of the CPU goes up, which makes sense (as shown by my bios, when changing the speed of the fsb without saving&exiting). Does the speed of the FSB have to be a 'special' number, or can it be whatever integer I like? I could for example set it to 270, 271 or 274 or any other number between 266-800 MHz and they would all be fine? For the CPU voltage, my CPU has an option to keep it at automatic. My motherboard/bios has overclocking ability integrated & doesn't need to be unlocked. Should I just keep it at automatic? Or change it to manual? Cheers :) Sorry for my tech-related noob-ness ;)

Yep, I have 300 of them and they're completely unsellable. Just keep them if you ever need to junk trade.

ESFP. Really not what I expected, but there you go. I'm tired, so I may have misread some of the questions or something :P

I heard somewhere there will be a feature that you can 'report' people for cheating, ie. boosting. That would be so epic if its true :pray:

I've always enjoyed this series... but those graphics are too cartoon-ish for my likes. I agree they're not bad once you've adjusted.. but I think I will stick with mah preferred AoE II ones. Zeus & Poseidon all the way for any RTS though (y)

Less people getting viruses :thumbup: There's a million ways to download music/anything off the internet, people will just move on.

Requirement to get into Combat Training Camp is Biohazard quest, it says none.

I'm loving the nice spread of skills. Grats!

Thanks all. I will have a look into using my old router as a repeater, cheers Peter. @indy500fan, I'll have a look into that and see if its possible, thanks :)

Do you have an extra coax cable hookup anywhere near both spots? You could get a media converter (RF to ethernet). We've used those occasionally and they work fairly well. I don't think so.. I'm not entirely sure what a coaxial cable is. Please clarify? There's an active phone line, but I think I'm correct in saying that you can't use broadband from the phone line in more than 2 places (ie. using the phone line downstairs for broadband as well as upstairs for the router)

Can't use powerline connecters where I am :s Had a pair that I used in my old house but the circuitry in this house splits between upstairs & ground floor, which is not useful seeing as the router is upstairs and my stuff is downstairs. Any other suggestions?

Drilling holes in the wall to install ethernet cables isn't really an option.. nor is running ethernet cables throughout the house. I know its better to do it wired but it isn't feasible for a variety of reasons. :/

Ok so I have a question about wireless bridging. I have my xbox + computer downstairs but the wireless doesn't reach there well. Could I have a wireless bridge (1 at the router, 1 downstairs, connected directly to eachother) to make the connection better? Or should I just have a booster which is also a switch downstairs that gets the wireless signal and lets me connect lan cables. what is your suggestion? also, what are your suggestions for products? I've had a look around but I'm not sure what would be best :s Cheers :)

Congrats both :)

This picture will be hard to make transparent/ colour because of the open bit at the bottom (personal preference really). is this alright or do you want it differently? [spoiler="blue] [spoiler=transparent]

210 forums and subforums? o.O I guess that includes all of the individual clan forums (right?) :P Thanks!

Do you have a bootable USB flash drive? You could create a flash drive with linux on it or something and work from there. If you were updating the bios then theres not really much you can do I think. An alternative is you could put your HDD from the non-bootable computer into another computer and boot from the HDD on the computer that works (if that makes sense), and then work from there (not sure what you actually have to do, though).

You could order online, but you could also go to a computer center/high street shop and they sometimes sell refurbished laptops which are used, but have been completely redone by the manufacturer so they are good as new and quite a bit cheaper. They'll be able to help you choose too.

1. What kind of a keyboard do you use? (ergonomic, gaming, something completely different?) It's just a regular keyboard, one of these (Elephant Ke002, with an English keyboard) I'd be suprised if you'd heard of the brand, I picked it up in a computer centre in China. Does me well though 2. How much do you use the keyboard? Do you often use it instead of the mouse? Hm... I would say I use them equally, or perhaps maybe the mouse a little more (lots of web surfing). 3. How fast can you type? (a link to a typing speed test is included at the bottom, if you haven't done one already) 79 WPM on my laptop keyboard. 4. Anything else worth mentioning? It has slim keys like a macbook, which is the exact reason I chose it. After using my laptop for 4 months while on holiday I've sort of got used to a thin keyboard and wasn't liking my desktop keyboard, which was on its last legs anyway.

I've been using a combination of Avast! and Ad-Aware. To an extent, it's really just personal preference. I would stay away from AVG, you're right about that. You're going to want an anti-spyware/malware as well as an antivirus.

I would get a desktop with 4-6GB ram, maybe 8 I dunno. Decent CPU and a low-medium graphics card. I have an Asus EAH4830 which cost me 81 quid and isn't too shabby.
