Who's this Dfg...bit fucking harsh and patronising on the guy, telling him how to do it step by step. It's his show being made for real people, not some shit internet message board. Anyway, most modern processors will clock down and drastically reduce core voltage if it overheats in order to save itself from destruction.…

There's something strangely satisfying about telling CCleaner to zap a load of temporary files...:D I'd add that if you really want to squeeze the most out of dated hardware, install XP and run in hardware accelerated Windows Classic mode. 7 is comparatively very heavy on graphics and memory. Not a problem with an up to…

CCleaner only clears disk space, not unnecessary processes or crap eating up your RAM. Unless you're very low on disk space (under 1gb or so), just the size of the pagefile, it generally won't make the computer faster. And NTFS can get pretty damn fragmenting without taking a noticeable performance hit. It's only when shit…

All the restrictions to upgrades of a laptop without the portability. :p Out of interest, why an all-in-one? Space issues?

Laptop, because I don't play any games and I don't really run many CPU intensive programs. I have no need to upgrade or customise continuously (apart from hard drives) and my Core 2 Duo is more than fast enough. I've had it for two years, I'll probably upgrade in a another couple of years. For most non-gamers, a 3ghz P4 is…

Read about a guy years ago who lived under a high voltage AC transmission line...he put a massive coil in his loft to tap power off it inductively. Can't remember how he got found out in the end though.

You know it's a serious motherboard when the CPU voltage regulation FETs have a heatpipe cooler... Sure beats most cheap and not so cheap board using the motherboard's groundplane as a heatsink for them. Anyone have a ballpark figure for how much current a Xeon 5600 pulls, out of interest?

I have one of those. Got it free with a bunch of electronic crap. It's surprisingly accurate, although the lack of feedback makes typing more than a few hundred words frustrating. I'd imagine it's the same with this new keyboard...nice shiny concept, shame it's not practical.
