Sooo… I am “Elastic Banding” all over the place, and it is thoroughly annoying – any help would be appreciated.

I have checked my connection, and it looks pretty good:

Could it be something to do with Port Forwarding? I am trying to find out the router password from my landlord, so can anyone suggest anything I should try first?

Cheers

It just required a windows update of some sort… so frustrating but working now… and maps load in about 15 seconds!

Where would I install antivirus etc? Old HD or New SSD?

So… it came, and is installed. Windows now takes about a minute to start up instead of the 6 minutes before, so an improvement, but slightly less than what I was expecting (but £40!!)

The in-laws (perhaps one day!) have been over for the past 3 weeks, so gaming time serverley limited, but will test it out fully on Sunday. Whup whup!

Baa humbug – the drive came with no cables…what are the chances of the cables coming with the original pc (ie power and connection), and being inside the case as per the old style HDd’s? if none, then I would prefer not to have the hassle of taking the thing apart.

I bought the following.

Operating System
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit + Windows 7 Upgrade Voucher (£88)

Will this: http://www.dabs.com/products/crucial-8gb–2-x-4gb–ballistix-sport-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-1-5v-240pin-7Y8S.html?ReferrerID=tb&utm_source=td&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_content=TB00

Fit in this: Asus P5QL: DDR2, SATAII, PCI-e x16, 3 PCI, 2 x PCI-e x1

And will it be better than this: 4GB CORSAIR XMS2 800MHz – LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x2GB)

And how do you know what will fit in what?!

Full system specs in this thread (plus I will now have a 120gb ssd): viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5207&start=60

thanks!

Whoop whoop!

Do I need to do any Master/Slave bollox when installing it, or is this all automated these days? it’s been a while since I have played around with the innards of a PC!
