Yes, I do need a laptop as opposed to a desktop due to working away from home and I'd like the option of gaming when not working. To be honest, I'm looking at a machine that will run anything well, but that's just in case a high spec game appears that I like. Mostly I play less demanding games...
Hello All
I’ve bought a number of desktops from PCS and I always ask for advice from the good people of the forums first. This time I’m looking at laptops and things aren’t as clear. Whilst browsing amazon to get an idea of specs for a good, fast machine for fairly basic stuff such as...
Hello All
Is there much gaming difference between these two machines? Daft question I know but I'm struggling to get hold of the Cyclone before Xmas. Also, whe I look at the fusion Gamer HDII (more expensive again) it doesn't seem to be that much better than the Fusion Pro III.
Thanks

Hello All
I recently bought BF3 and it runs okay at low and in some cases medium settings, but I was wondering if up grading to a better graphics card would help improve performance much. I can’t add more ram. Any suggestion of which card would be good to get and how much it would cost would...
Hello All
I imagine this is a common question: Will my machine run BF3 to a reasonable level of performance or isn't it worth bothering?

Hello All
My new pc arrived at the weekend and I ended up having to install the OS again as it wasn’t setup properly. Before dong this I tried everything I could do get it working. On the boot screen as the machine started up I was offered the option of pressing 4 to unlock both cores AMD...
Hello all
I've had to do a full new windows 7 install on my new machine due to bad setup/prep or whatever at the factory. As a result, office isn't on my machine so i went to download it (www.office.com/backup)but every time (I did it a lot) I typed the code in--not the key code--that wobbly...
Hello all
My new desktop just arrived today and it won't startup windows. When I first switched it on it went to the option of safe mode screen and then to the ASUS boot screen and whatever I did I just went in circles. A blue screen flashedd up briefly but too quickly to read the writing...
Hello All
I keep getting Checksum error on bootup--not all of the time or every day even but fairly often. I've done all of the basic maintenance stuff and virus checked but it still keeps happening. From whaT I've read, the most likely reason is a faulty cmos battery. This could make sense...
Hello All
My wife needs a new desktop for basic stuff like microsoft office, internet and some fairly basic media editing stuff--adobe premiere, nothing too fancy. I've looked at the pcspecialist suggested config and doubled the ram but hardware-wise it's just the same. I don't want to have...
Hello All
I suspect I need to replace my cmos batter for my ASUS® P5N-D: DDR2, SATAII, 2 x PCI-e x16, 2 PCI, 2 x PCI-e x1 and I would like to know what I'm looking for--I haven't a clue so if you could give me the make and model that I need to order I'd be grateful. Also, is it straight...
Hello All
My wife needs a new desktop for pretty basic use: internet, Microsoft office, maybe a bit of none specialist video editing at some point. I've looked at the basic desktops that Pcspecialist offer and wondered if anyone could offer any advice please. I'll spend what's necessary but I...
Hello All
How does this look for a good gaming pc that will be usable technology-wise for about 4 years? I don't want to spend any more but all realistic advice is appreciated. If I've spent more than I need to on anything I'd also appreciate knowing that.
Thanks

Hello All
I bought my last pcspecialist machine about 4 years ago and it's still fine; however, I thinks it's going to really start to struggle over the next year and I was thinking of a new machine. Ideally, I want something that will last another 4 years technology wise before I need to buy...
