RE: Wanting to upgrade CPU - some help?

In that case u cud gor the this from Dabs, its a very decent VC, recommended. U may be able to find it cheaper on other online sites, but even at Dabs prices, I think its a good buy.

oh, and whatever card u decide to buy, make sure u get the latest drivers from the chip manufacturers website (Nvidia or ATI).

RE: Wanting to upgrade CPU - some help?

I had an old Nvidia vanta 16mb card, on athlon 1Ghz machine. When i insalled Battlefield 1942,I cud not even see what the game looked like.

Popped in an Nvidia Fx5600 and an additional 256mb of SDram... and the improvment was like moving form a 1980 VW beattle, to a 328I BMW.

I wud recommend that u add another 256mb Ram (Try crucial, mushkin, or kingston) and go for the Radeon 9600XT

Philips 762 `No Disc" when DVD is in !!!

HI,

I just recently rented a DVD and put it into my Philips DVD player. Howevre, after about 30 secs, I got a messag saying "No Disc" on both th TV screen and the players screen.

tryed cleaning the DVD and playing it again ...but same result.

Then I decided to make sure the prob was from the Disc not the player, but I was shocked when I put in some of my own DVD`;s which I know for a fact that they work, but ended up with the same message.

Funnily enough, when an audio MP3 disc is placed in, It reads it and plays it, but the sound has a LOT os static in it, and the player sorat skips evry 15-18 sec`s.

any ideas what cud be the problem?

Cheers
