32gb corsair/ocz ssd and 2-4gb extra ram , maybe a q6600 (they go for dirt cheap and oc nicely)

this should be about 200-220 pounds , any money spent higher than that this on an upgrade is unreasonable

also with ssd , as long as its a brand the newer the better , make sure ur not gettin some 1-2 yr old leftover from stock
[Off-topic] 1234568:
My primary drive with my OS on is currently 74 GB. This is the perfect size for me as it's always got 60 - 70 GB of data on. If I get a SSD I would probably want it to be a similar size. 32 GB just seems too small. Maybe something like this...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-059-OC&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

Also with the new Intel G3 and new Sandforce controllers coming out I figured current generation SSD's will drop a bit in price. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

It's interesting you suggested memory. For some stupid reason it didn't come to mind that I am just scraping Windows 7's minimum requirements. I guess its things like that which make me always ask on forums first! A fresh 4 GB ram would probably help a lot more than an upgraded CPU. I was looking at something like this...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-096-GL&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813

Geil has better timings but I have heard good things about Kingston HyperX...

This CPU and memory comes in at under £200 well below my budget and will probs make the world of difference! All the feedback I can get is appreciated!

you dont need a sound card nowdays for the typical user ... and he isnt a gamer so i guess he doesnt need a better gfx , gtx+ is fairly decent , around a 4870 or 4890 , should be able to play crysis 2 on hardcore setting

also there decent enuff 775 cpu's to make the jump to am3 or intel i series unreasoned

and coming from a 3.5gb ddr1 400 config to a 2gb , later 6gb ddr3 1600 config i can tell the speed of the ram is hardly noticable , the trouble starts when it runs out
[Off-topic] 1234568:
Very true! Also with the price of that recommended mobo, CPU and RAM in the UK I could get for a similar amount the core i5 option I found which is probably better...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...id=339&subcat=

Instead I like the sound of the cheaper option (SSD and RAM). That would probably fit my demands, and if not I can make another upgrade and carry across the SSD.

Has anyone got a convincing argument to not go for a SSD and 4Gb RAM?
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
keep the 2gb , and ull have 6 .
[Off-topic] 1234568:
Can I do that? Would you put the new memory sticks in A1 and B1, and the old sticks in A2 and B2. That way the total in channel A would equal the total in channel B?

any of the new sandybridge cpu's are nice. I upgraded from an e6600 at the beginning of the year (new mobo and mem, kept hdd and everything else) and the upgrade was night/day.

ive done the same from amd single core 1800mhz to quad core 3400mhz and on my day to day tasks(other than games) i find myself waiting for my slow hdd as i did with the old comp ... ssd would be the first thing i get ... but im always busy changing phones :D
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Haven't really tried SSDs yet... I have way too much stuff to use an SDD effectively. I'd suggest that you go for upgrades that'll stay for a while, like going for a REALLY good processor, mobo and RAM combo and then start thinking about upgrading the other stuff.
[Off-topic] 1234568:
I was worried the same thing would happen to me. Everyone I have spoken to who made the jump to a SSD has been amazed.

I have 2TB of media but my plan is to put OS on SSD and media on other drives. That setup should use SSD effectively. I agree completely with the rest of your post. I would love a nice new 'REALLY' good SandyBridge CPU, Mobo and RAM but that will blow my budget apart. By getting a good SSD it will stay for a while and be transferable from any system to any system too.

If I am unhappy with SSD choice I can always save again and make the move to SandyBridge at a later date.

I want so steer the whole conversation in a new direction now... ;)

What SSD would people recommend?
[Off-topic] 1234568:
Im struggling with my SSD choice. I know good solid options are the Intel X-25M and the OCZ Revodrive. I can get both of these in 80Gb options for about £170.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-004-IN&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-057-OC&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910

I know that for the same price I can get the new Intel SSD's in a 120GB variant but reviews suggest that the Intel X-25M and the OCZ Revodrive both beat the new Intel. As my aim is performance and as i dont need that extra space on my primary drive i have ruled it out.

The question is should I future proof my buy by stretching my budget to an OCZ Vertex 3.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-071-OC&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427

What do you all think?
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Neither ;) Get your budget to £220 then get an intel 510 120GB

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-009-IN

Just look at those speeds (450 read, 250 write) :eek: + You get a free game... Also I notice you linked to overclockers.co.uk too.... Do you have an account on their forums? :p
[Off-topic] 1234568:
They weren't even up on the site when I looked! I thought they were going to be way more money than that but at that price i'm sold. Also made my mind up on RAM...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-190-CS&tool=3

Both of these should have my PC feeling like a different machine!

I only overclockers forums last week and I haven't posted there yet. Cant comment on whether they have a good community is that's what you were wondering :p

To get advice on this upgrade I only posted here and on PCstats. I still havent heard anything on PCstats. I thought XDA would be pretty poor as its for mobile devices but the responses have been pretty good.

Hello guys,I am kinda sick of my milestone,it's a good phone but i hate those 256mb ram,it sometimes freaks me out,and now i consider changing my milestone for a Orange san francisco(the one with OLED display),because of it's 512mb ram.I love the qwerty of the ms,and the overclock posibilities but can't stand the locked bootloader and the ram,what do you think ,should i change it for the san francisco?

I am in a period when i cannot afford such an expensive device,and i cannot have it with a new contract because i just resigned my contract witout having a new phone.And desire Z seems like a toy to me,too plastic and vulnerable,i love milestone's build quality and desire z is not really what i would prefer.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
Well, keyboard droids are rare nowadays... Word is that Milestone 3 is about to be announced and some ppl say it will have a Dual Core SOC While others say it will have a 1.3GHz Single Core SOC. Either way, it will have at least 512MB of RAM which is the same ammount in Milestone 2, but, I would expect more RAM in it.

If you like keyboards to play emulators (this is the major reason I love my milestone, gamegripper FTW), Xperia Play seems reasonable and has 400MB of free ram (512 total) and also will be able to play Playstation One games...

If the main reason you wanna have a keyboard is to type messages, then, Desire Z seems a reasonable choice.

Hi.

Because people ( me too ) sometimes find GPS not working ( from unknown reasons none GPS software get NMEA data on GPS managed port ), I created small utility that prevents TG01 to be restarted when mentioned situation occurs.

I had opportunity to test it few days ago when suddenly neither Ozi nor Garmin were showing any sattelites data. I executed this software and all started to work.

Remember to stop all navigation software before execution of this utility.

Hi.

I have created better version of GPS restarter.

Now we have some options. User can :

1) Get status of gps service and gps driver

2) Restart gps service only

3) Restart all - gps driver and gps service

To .exe file I attached three .lnk files to simplify usage of the software.

a) fxdjGPSStatus.lnk - retrieves status both gps service and gps driver

b) fxdjGPSRestartService.lnk - restarts service only

c) fxdjGPSRestartAll - restarts both gps driver and gps service

I can ensure You that mentioned operations can not cause Your system will work worse. I executed all .lnk files with my good working gps subsystem and always any navigation software worked ok.

Take into account that .lnk files assume that .exe file is in \windows directory so either copy fxdjGPSDriverRestarter.exe there or change contents of .lnk files.

P.S "InsertNameHere". Now, You can remove fdcTaskManager :)

Hi Everyone,

I've seen a really nice widget floating around that was designed using Tasker for notification on your lock screen, in tandem with widget locker. It's simple text based widget with 3 rows, one for each notification. I was wondering if anyone has come across a similar themed widget designed outside of Tasker? I don't have a lot of use for Tasker and am hesitant to spend 6.99 on it, for one use. It looks like what you can see on the homescreen in the following image.

I haven't seen any reports of the process not completing or bricked phones from the latest wave. Not even with Samsung hardware. If that's the case, it seems like Microsoft finally has a handle on the update process and they should be able to accelerate the current schedule and push out future updates more aggressively.
