Im thinking of buying a Intel Core DUE 2 (heard there meant to be good) and mobo, been on Overclockers, can someone help with selection of MOBO.

Will be selling my AMD Dual Core 3200 and ASUS SLI Deluxe board

Can someone please help this village idiot by selling him a Core DUE 2 him being incapable to do it himself
BTW – Amd didn’t make a dual core 3200, they started at the AMD x2 3800+ model !

I’ll try that on the way to work tomorrow, just wondering who will post bail for me though ?

Very interesting question.
Having helped a friend buy a customised dell notebook recently, I thought I’d just see what they can do, and below is a customised laptop for £999.97 delivered:
INSPIRON 9400 Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5500 (1.66 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 (incl Operating System Re-Install CD) – English
SUPPORT SERVICES Collect & Return, 1 Year Service only
LCD 17″ Wide Screen WXGA (1440×900) TFT Display
MEMORY 1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2×512)
HARD DRIVE 120GB (5,400rpm) Hard Drive
OPTICAL DRIVE Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW with Software
GRAPHICS CARD 256MB DDR3 nVidia® GeForce™ Go 7900 graphics card
PRIMARY BATTERY 6 Cell, 56Whr Lithium Ion Primary Battery

The main cost going into the Geforce Go 7900 and from reviews this seems to be something that will run BF2 at about 40fps.
Thre rest of the laptop should be fine for other stuff, and you always use an external hdd if you want more space

A4, My brother had one, awesome drive and nice and roomy for his kids too.
So is that your bonus you’re blowing or you’re staying on handshake ?

Brilliant pic Insane, maybe Frank was undercover ?

Now if you believe that God is the being that created the earth, humans and all the rest, then he could easily have impregnated Mary and had a Son, what you want to call that Son is entirely up to, your choice
Or if you think we evolved from apes, and after seeing the Pic of Max playing with his WII I can certainly see why people would think this, then we’re all ape offspring, or amoeba offspring, or something, so does it matter what you call him, we’re all offspring of a lucky single cell organism then right ?

Bloody heck, this is wrong, so wrong….wrong in so many ways !!!

Very very average movie.
Yes, the chase scene in the beginning was entertaining, but nothing that I haven’t seen Jackie Chan do countless times in his movies.
Apart from missing all the cool Bond gadgets, he drives a Ford at one stage, and not because he jacked it or it was the closest thing available ! Normally bond movies aren’t awesome on storylines, but there’s always some big plot to kill plenty of people and make lots of money. Casino Royale was suitably titled, as the most action happened with them playing cards.
As for the rest of the movie, I kept on checking my watch to see what the time was and I was seriously bored.

I feel cheated, especially as I was weighing up seeing The Prestige, but due to friend’s suggestion we saw Bond instead

3.5/10
