Intel Core 2 Duo - what cooler?
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:08:26 +0000
I see there are a few new Intel Core 2 Duo's on ebay for about 2/3 the
typical mainstream suppliers' price - however, they are sold without
heatsink or fan.
Are the "coolers" for this CPU fairly standard things (no strange
fittings/dimension) ?
thanks ...

iPlayer and Norton 360
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:23:46 -0000

What is everybody using for newsgroup access under Windows 7
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:37:36 -0700 (PDT)
Now that Windows Mail has gone and you cannot get it anymore, looks
like another step by Microsoft to rid the world of newsgroup users. I
am leaning towards Thunderbird as I use it on my iMac and am leaning
away from Windows Live Mail as the last time I tried it, it was like
using Outlook for newsgroups ie bloody ...

CDROM recognised as working, but get "Not Ready"
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:19:35 -0000
I have several CDROM drives and DVD drives. All of them are recognised by

What do you think, will connecting a ST-225 HDD work?
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:47:21 -0000
I've got a PC setup for messing about with. The mobo is MSI-6119 (11 years
old) that runs a Pentium II at 350 Mhz. I've installed Windows98. It has 2
ATA IDE sockets for the HDD's.
I once ran a Seagate ST-225 (MFM type) HDD with an Amstrad 1512. I have the
HDD controller type WD1002A-WX1.
