PC Building! 4th January 2013 1:29 PM

“Holy moly, I wouldn't have a clue! I used to love gigabyte boards back in the 90's, but I'm so rusty now, I have to look at wikipedia to work out what an i5 or i3 processor is

I guess that's the issue in the UK and the States where hardware prices have fallen through the floor. A basic Pentium 1 system back in the day would have cost you

Microsoft vs Google - the struggle continues. 4th January 2013 1:12 PM

I've read it on many forums, where members have been accusing Big G for manipulating searches. I found this post at the telegraph. it seems that after an investigation, Big G was cleared (to some extent), and Microsoft is unhappy with the verdict and are now calling for the EU to take a closer look at their investigations and dish out a more "fitting" punishment it seems.

Will SEO end In Future?? 4th January 2013 6:13 AM

hmmm, there's not much support for that online. SEO is and will always be needed for a site (IMHO), its more than likely how its done that will change, like it has been over the last few years.

Sometimes, depending on the specifications I guess. Its just not really a hobby for me. lol. I am a PC Support Tech (Or was trained to be one).

The way I see it, you can go out to a store and get a store bought PC, with good specs, and pay (well in this neck of the woods) a good few thousand for it, Or build it yourself, and make it better than the ones you get in a store. Depending on your supplier, you might be able to buy the parts cheaper. Thing is, when you look at most store bought PC's (Once again, around here), you get the basics. Dual core/quad core chip (and quad core is rare here where I live without importing it from another bigger town), at the most 2GHz RAM, and a graphics card (sometimes, most times you're left with onboard graphics), and that's about it. With the supplier I use I can build a complete rig, complete with its screen for roughly the same price as a store bought PC. Which means I get a little more bang for buck, and a few better peripherals to play with

I guess in the end it would really depend on the person. If you're not good at building PC's, then you'd have to buy a store bought one, or pay a techy to build you one. I just prefer playing with the nuts, bolts and peripherals

I can remember saying something about it before, was just not sure if it was here or somewhere else. Used the same post as a reference as well. Ah well

Why do many professional business people opt to use a cheap sitebuilder website? 2nd January 2013 5:28 AM

Talking about buying a site from the many designers out there, which do you think is better? Buying a site that might also be used by a million other web users, or getting one tailor made for you and your needs?
