Budget gaming computers

Since I have been designing and building Gaming Computers for over 10 years here are some more recent video’s collated for an insight to my world.

I have been building quad cores using this  “Budget” H.D4870 card. I used 8800 GTX cards in S.L.I mode before these.

D.D.D.R 2 is preferred as the new D.D.D.R 3  has only a 3% performance advantage. The quad cores are 2.61 GHz x 4 clocking in at around 10 gig.

My first builds were A.M.D K260’s and a K360’s over clocked to nearly 500 ran until it was dismantled ten years later.

PREPARE TO BE DAZZLED

Blue tooth Devices - Keyboard and mice

I have been using both microsoft and now a new Logitech set (I still have the older Logitech model).

Reliability of the first was compromised by a touch sensitive control panel on the left which has now been replaced on the model mx 5500.

The microsoft set (not sold separately as far as i can find ) had a mouse that gave up (2 sets) too quickly and this is far superior even if it is over engineered ergonomically.

The range of these devices is approximately 9 metres, enough to play from the settee and hook up to a flat panel on the other side of a large lounge, with surround sounds this is the right set-up for serious gamers who have the money to spend.

Vista Guild wars crashes

With a new 64 bit O.S you get x86 drivers and these are the big difference between the same 32 bit system O.S.

Frequent crashes of the *Application need closing after a crash due to “not responding ”

The subsequent error reports are amusing try your luck->HERE

I found that it was not responding lol.

Music Page

The music page started as a few favourites but since my personal music library is “Densely Populated”

I have as few old favourites used on postings (benefit of other sites!)

I have now added the link to this page for a D.I.Y search and find Latest releases links added.

Feed your soul and digest some good vibes.

ADOBE ACROBAT READER UPDATE

This is an urgent security update as hackers have exploited this security “hole”.

Read about it here :-
ADOBE ACROBAT READER SECURITY UPDATE

WE APOLOGISE DUE TO playNC glitches

As you are aware (archive this site at bottom) that content has been affected due to victimisation

furthered by the glitch which is supposed to be operational to fix (like trying to tow a broken car with a towtruck that can not attach it e.g winch and ramps for a car with no wheels!)

I have had to swamp the internet due to the stupidity of those who refer me to the very same address!

Also to those vengeful people who are jealous of my reputation and status.

ONE HORSE POWER SERVER TAKES OVER previously my “personal”

I build my own was once an O.E.M now my TITAN takes over as the standby - the job was being done on an old water cooled pentium (PEGASUS) and a standby that died (only “Off the shelf” I EVER bought - my ONLY mistake)

All of these builds are in need of an update wonder what I will do next?- Maybe a solo card “Economy” build lol

P.S i got another horsepower at play with my music system dunno what the 32″ flat panel eats??

New Page link to (the old site) Forum

Loading times, Video and * NEW youtube link (not guild wars videos)

Due to new added video the loading time has increased. I hope that if you have a slow system/connection that this will not inconvenience our users and that these extra features will be worth this increase. Thanks for your support.

On a more personal note I first worked on programming in the mid seventies whilst on my engineering diploma course. In those days the first integrated circuits were used by home built projects by the likes of myself and no such thing as personal was included in a computer the size of a 2 up 2 down house!

I was “self taught” as an original equipment manufacturer but have a long way to catch up on the use of modern software, the last related course I took was on word processing!

Forum

This seems to have been somewhat neglected since this Parent site took over, although it is still fully functional for any members to post on and I have added a page link, since I have been doing so much work to improve both quality and quantity on the main site home page and others.

Please can I have some feedback , or just use the Forum because it is there free and for your benefit.
