...2002 and Rambus was to be the new gold standard in memory. My Dell 8200 had 256 mb Rimm Memory. Alas the inferior DDR memory took over the market and all those who needed Rambus upgrades were left out. The cost of upgrading the Ram is just not worth it. Dell is the worst on pricing but others are also expensive for ECC modules. As the memory has to be installed in pairs, one cannot simply add a 1gb module but 2 512mbs. I gave up and bought a new PC with DDR3 Ram memory of 1gb and added another gigabyte of Orca memory for good measure and it was still cheaper than buying a memory rimm upgrade alone. Rambus/Rimm nice idea for would be lottery winners. My advice turn your Rambus PC into a Linux back up and buy a new Computer and add Hypertec, Orca or Kingston DDR3 ram modules and have a meal out on the money left over... Read review

...I had/have a pair of Plantronics HS1 Headphones for online gaming. The sound is superb, theres no need to spend £100 or more on surround sound speakers these are actually better.

These headphones are quite large and seem to be fairly robust. Although I did have a problem with my pair. The leads connected to the volume control had a loose connection, however I am a heavy user and had had them for about a year. I had to throw my old pair and after looking around I decided to buy another pair of Plantronics HS1's.... Read review

...Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Mrs Farmer Giles and I am a dab hand with a carving knife. Before you run away in terror, please allow me to explain that I am a reformed character and time has moved on since Three Blind Mice. I am a thoroughly modern Farmer's wife now. Whilst Mr Giles is busy plucking birds for Christmas in the barn, I am buying him a nice pair of new wellies on the Internet all with the aid of my little white tail-less mouse. His name is Paddy. Paddy is a friendly little mouse and he is as good as gold. He is called Paddy because he is always to be found curled up on his soft mouse pad rug. In my reformation period Mr Giles was at his wits end. Whenever he let me loose on his PC, I found myself carving knife in hand and chopping the tail of any mouse that tried to run away. I got through a dozen mice at least... Read review
