I'm a big fan of Bluetooth file transfer, at least up until XP which supported it flawlessly. Windows 7 and onwards is all hit and miss with more miss at least in my experience.

I'm trying to find out when was the first Windows beta, sent to a closed group of beta testers (preferably). Of course, being at beta stage doesn't necessarily mean pushing the software out for beta testing as it could have been done in house. I tried this one Windows betas website But with no real …

I have 2 machines, each booting to 7, 8, 10 (preview) and XP with the default on each being Windows 7. I'll upgrade each Windows 8 installation, but from what I've seen of 10 so far and the general dumbing down approach by Microsoft, Windows 7 will remain my default. I have no problem doing the free …

A mate just closed his shop and gave me a box of graphic cards which took me a while to figure out what they were. Might just be worth getting a DMS-59 DVI adaptor for $5 to test them out. Apparently they are 256mb cards, but have no recognisable markings apart from one that seems to have been …

I've had this card since new in 2005 and it's always been a superb GPU and I got kind of attached to it.

My 'current' PC's been humming along with an i5 760 and a Geforce GTX 470 for ~4 years, which is my longest stretch without an upgrade since I got back into gaming circa 2000. I’m still happy enough with the i5, but the GTX 470 has started to struggle with 1080P, and runs noisy and hot when pushed …

I've upgraded my main rig so often over the last couple of years, that it's not actually the same pc any more, although the parts I cannibalised are now in my other main PC at the shop.

A couple of short articles I wrote on retro, since I get such a buzz out of it. http://www.davescomputertips.com/lets-build-a … etro-pc-part-1/ http://www.davescomputertips.com/lets-build-a … etro-pc-part-2/
