Is the Windows XP firewall all that and a bag of chips?! With the increasing amount of hackers getting around these days i was wondering if the firewall i got now (default Windows XP) is going to be strong enough to withstand the hacks... Should i get another firewall? Or stick with the XP one?

Well yes. I can just upgrade my 1800 to say a 2100 or 2200 but just popping it in if ya see what i mean, lol. The faster the more liklyhood is that its going to be hotter. Get good cooling and you will be sorted with cooling and long life of the processer. And i dont think i will change from AMD, im extremely happy with them and doubt i will change, like others... So best stock up on the cooling.

Welcome, Welkommen to the board And Bonjour

Never broke one... Stopped with tip of my finger, thats about it.

Spyware gets everywhere!! Thats why i have changed from Kazaa to Kazaa lite, i suggest this to other people too.

Yes, i contacted my computer manufactor (Evesham) and they quoted that information about the AMD temperatures... "This information is from AMD’s website “Typically, the maximum operating temperatures for Socket A AMD Athlon™ and AMD Duron™ desktop processors are 90 degrees Celsius for processors operating up to 1GHz, and 95 degrees Celsius for processors operating above 1GHz.” Your processor is operating well within this maximum. I suppose it is... I think i will get some more cooling in my comp, new CPU fan as well i think, a beasty That lighter trick is very useful indeed, very clever, nice one!!

Im getting very worried about my CPU now... Today it was hot, i know and understand that. But i also had the fan on in my room and my comp got a CPU fan and a tower fan. It reached 70oC (degrees Celcius!!). Now, dont tell me this is hot... I dont overclock my CPU either.

I wasn't moaning at Xperties, i was moaning at AMD... That information is brilliant as it is.

Awww, Blackwar your the same age as me now I suppose we the "youngens" of the forum, lol. Happy Birthday!!

Very much so... Nice work there, those numbers are soooo handy!! Shame AMD aint up there on the list

Thanks for that FthrJACK. I got worried today, as whilst playing Counter-Strike my CPU reached a temp of 65oC Degrees Celcious which i feel is hot, bit too hot for my liking and the alarm on my Hardware sensors monitor went off... Im getting a bit worried about this... I will look into a new more powerfull fan as i want one for my GPU...

Or Unlock your taskbar and drag away to fit all the icons in...

Lmao... I seen something like this before... They should have pics of it though or a movie...

Geeez, what fan you running on Zero for your CPU?! I think i need a new one and more powerful. My temp for my AMD Athlon 1800 XP @ 1533Ghz is about 57oC celcius and if i play a game it goes up to 64oc celcius I feel there may be some melting in my CPU household...

No, im afraid they dont Double check the URL of them.

Yeah, graphics look amazing!! The game im waiting for is TOCA Race Driver, corrr.

PC Avenger is a joystick?! lol, never knew that... As Blackwar said, install the software it came with onto your Win XP Pro machine and away you go, you will have drivers and conifuration for your joystick.

Never heard of this game at all or seen any reviews... Got a link Jack?

Thanks for the help guys. I know how ya feel Elite, i payed nearly £3000 for this comp, now look howmuch it is worth, lol. I think i will keep the price as it stands, £350. Sry war, im not trading it. I need the money for a new monitor, sry.

I dont really want to know actually thinking about it, lol.

Hmmmm, this sounds a bit dodgy... :moon:

Im selling my old comp, and i wanted to know if you guys could give me a rough estimate for a price on it, prices in English pounds please, Thanks. Pentium 3 800Mhz 128Mb SDRAM 2 USB ports Toshiba DVD - 8x Sony CD-RW 8x ( - burning speed) - (Forget other speeds, sry) 32mb GeForce 2 256 Floppy drive 56k Modem (internal) Aureual Vortex sound card with 5 surround sound speakers 15" Samsung Monitor And Windows XP Professional (freshly installed ) I also added Nero CD Burning ROM 5.5.9.0 I was thinking around the £350 mark, what you guys think?

Yeah, i would also suggest that, this will get rid of anything you dont want... Thats what i did, it should solve all problems.

I want to get a new monitor, another Samsung but they too dam expensive!! Especially the big ones which is what i want... Anyone know of a good recommendation for a big monitor... I would like it to be a good make pls, ta.
