Well, SR gave my PC back today. After 2 days of hell without it!!

Anyway, I thought it took 10 mins to get ram fitted at SR??

Oh well, anything exciting happen?? Probably not, but it's still good to be back.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

I don't know why I play your games er-no.

Off the top of my head, without looking it up, I think this is roughly the list:

Tape and Glue for use on PC components.
PC storage and carry cases.
Anti-static gear (mats, wrist straps)
DVD writer
Portable DVD Player
Magnetic Screwdriver
Spare screws and panels
Laptop computer
Laptop accessories
Better PC speakers


It was a close run thing with 2nd and 3rd place not far behind, neither of which were called er-no.

Trust me er-no, trust me.

Thanks, YH.

I've found a driver for the card which I can download, but it's still pretty old.

I'll see what happens anyway.

I have an STB Velocity 128 card, but I can't find a site for it!

Anyway, my CD Drive is buggered up as well. It's very stuttery when loading.

Ant have you got the correct rivers for your graphics card?

If you have a Voodoo 2000 or 3000, new drivers were released in about last November. If you need them go to www.3dfx.com
