Loading ...Open Source
drwho200
Open Source for all! I love Open Source, probably one of the best human ideas ever. Free for All Free to edit, move, modify. If all games went by this we would have a much better set of games from every genre and area. Thousands of people ‘mod’ games but this isn’t like using Open Source Software, Modding doesn’t get to the 3D Engine or get into the way the program works, just the top layer.
Support Open Source, support my game: http://sourceforge.net/projects/castlesiege/

Loading ...Linux Compiz Fusion

The best! I have Linux Compiz Fusion Installed and it works like a dream, everything spins, moves, wobles, shakes and does everything else and loads MORE than anything Vista can throw at me in terms of eye-candy.

Loading ...Vista SuperFetch
drwho200
Vista Super Fetch makes my day faster and easier, until I decide to load Battle for Middle-Earth II. I have only ever played this game once or twice and so Vista had not got a clue when I opened it, it took nearly 10 minutes to load but the game worked fine after that. Super Fetch has helped me be able to play and load games faster but still, this is annoying when you want to do something different.

I was looking for good deals on the Cyber Power website and they seem to have some great offers! For around £700 you can have a very powerful system. http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/gamer_infinity_sli_gts is the link for my favourite sub £800 Gaming PC.

Loading ...The Dell Question
drwho200
The BIG Question.
Is Dell worth it? Yes or No?
Dell has grown up now; new style, new era. But is this change worth it? I think so. Many people want style more than anything else when they buy a PC or Laptop. So Dell has changed for the better but many computer manufacturers are still behind. Style is a must but not everyone understands this and so Dell has taken the leap ahead in today’s market.
So, Dell wins but there has to be a looser. PC builders also want style and they want to make there own impression but Dell doesn’t sell its’ cases to anyone but customers with a PC and even then they may not be salvageable so PC Builders loose out on the new company style.

Loading ...Dell For Custom PCers?
drwho200
Dell, why the hipe.
Dell is a huge company which does a lot for the modern computer buying industry. But, like everyone else it has flaws. These are:
-Components Used are Dell’s own
-No Overclocking on non-XPS models (very little)
-Not always keeping up with Technology
Dell tries it’s best, obviously, but these flaws are quite bad and Dell need to address them. But let’s see it from another angle rather than the Custom PCer. An old age pensioner wants to be able to go online and use Word and do basic tasks at home on a PC. There is no point paying £700 for an extreme Cyber Power PC when all you want to do is surf the net; it’s a waste of money.
With this in mind we can see who Dell serves, not Custom PCers but ordinary people wanting ordinary computers without a care in the world for overlclocking.
So with that errand settled lets go back and see what flaws are real threats to the Dell user. Well quite frankly none except maybe, not always keeping up with technology as people want a Computer to last until they can afford another, not next week.
Finally, Dell’s computers do work well and I own one.
Good Bye and Check Back!

Loading ...My PC
drwho200
Well, hello again! This post is about my current Dell E520.
My core specs:
-Intel Pentium D 915 2.8GHz 800Mhz FSB
-1GB RAM 666Mhz
-ATi X1300 PRO PCI-E card
-160GB Hard Drive NOW 250GB due to HD Failure
-19in TFT 1280×1024
Decent Spec at the time; 6 months ago. But it is starting to fade. I was such a n00b then and I didn’t opt for the E6300 because it had a lower GHz speed than the Pentium D. However, it runs fine and does work and I have Ubuntu Linux and Vista installed; (Linux is on another partition)
I have had only two problems with the PC, the Hard Drive failed after 2 failed Vista upgrade attempts using Dell’s CD ROM and the RAM is not what I asked for; it is 666Mhz on the site it said 533Mhz so it works in my favour, until you ask online support to verify and you get 20 different answers from yes and no to I do not know.
Dell replaced the Hard Drive in less than a day! That was great and Vista upgrade worked first time, which made the day better. But my RAM still causes me a few BSODs Blue Screens Of Death every now and again but it seems okay at the moment.
Dell is a great company and everyone should have a Dell PC, as a backup PC in case you incinerate your other PC with overclocking.
I am going to build a PC! Well not right now but when I do I will do a Project Mod Blog and give the link.
I am writing this from Ubuntu Linux on my Dell PC, good bye! Check Back Soon.
