Hi guys

New bits arrived today, boots up fine, that graphics card works to Hippo, cheers again for that m8, but I cant install anything, because I assumed IDE was still on the motherboard, so will have to go out to Maplin tomorrow and get a SATA DVD-RW. What a numpty. 😳

ok im gonna admit to doing something even more stupid than that, years ago i bought new pc parts, put them all together but i kept my old HDD as it was fine. put everything together and it would never detect the HDD, 2 weeks later and with the new HDD in my hand i worked out the problem….. i hadnt attached the power cable to the HDD … DOH!!!!

Ok, so got the SATA DVD and have installed, now I have got 101 updates to install yayyyyyy.

Just found my old speakers to, and was wondering where the plug was, so thought I must have thrown out the adapter, started checking for a new set online, then it dawned on me, the plugs on the woofer lol, found that, good to go, now just need a mic.

Hey

So right now, i have created a new homegroup and have added my new desktop, and laptop to it, that way I don’t need to re-download anything or use USB sticks to copy files, i,m doing it all over the network, currently transferring BF3, WOT and PS2.

Should be good to go soon.

Time is now 01:20 and I have been at this since 17:00, but finally done.

WOT works on high.

PS2 80 FPS on low.

BF3 between 50 and 100 FPS, dunno what settings, left as standard.

Be on tomorrow.

Sounds good mate, the fps in bf3 should stay 60 at low settings, but you can likely play around with higher settings if you’re already hitting 50-100 range. I’d say pick a setting where you hit 60 minimum with the most shit going on around you (eg CQ maps).
