[01srainey]

i was looking at customising my own, but if i were to choose i'd go for the VGN-FW31ZJ or VGN-FW31M

i may have a bit more cash, as i believe im able to get 30% off by buying it through my uni

[nani17]

Both are nice IMO both have 4gb of ram and the same graphics card they will run PES now it's just a matter of what other features do you need that they have

Hello i need help with my PC i just bought it the other day and ive put windows and everything on it and when i got to sort out my sound card everything is blanked out and i when i click to listem to music it says: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly. my sound device is a foxconn one but i dont know the model as it is already on my motherboard so can anyone help me?

SUPER NANI !!!!!

Swosh ....

Ok you need the drivers for the PC dogey stuff. Get a software (by any means ) Called uniblue driver scanner.

Get the lasted version it's scans your system for the drivers you need. A word of warning only install the one you need nothing else it will f*ck your system up sometimes the scanner tells lies about fast Ethernet bull stay away just get audio

My advice? download a program called HWINFO32. Its free and it will give you indepth info and isnt in the slightest bit risky. Basically then you can type in the exact make and model that it reports for your Soundcard and get the correct drivers. Failing that McCarthy you might have to do the dreaded Rebuild of your Operating System.!

Hope you sort it McCarthy. Let us know how you get on

Nani17:(I moved the topic here ok)

I have been reading alot of stuff about how PCs are leading the way. On here last week Suff & Adam had an article about how playing PES on a PC never looked so good. I have never really used a PC for games because in the past I have had PCs that have been too slow of games that didn't have the right control setup. I am now worried that my PS3 is defunct before developers have even made full use of its capabilities.

What I want to know is why the suddenly leap in presentation & will the console stop giving the PC a run for it's money in the graphics department.

[The_Knight]

Oh yes it is.

And with Geforce 3D vision, playing FPS games just got more interesting. Don't get a laptop, instead, invest in a gaming desktop.

In gaming, I think PCs will always lead the way both graphically and in processing power but on a much more diminished scale primarily due to cost, PCs being more expensive and console graphics starting to look exceptionally good, especially on the PS3 front as developers are coming to grips with it. Problem is how many developers are willing to pile a lot of money into producing games for a diminishing platform?

You said it right there stay away from laptops only trouble IMO.

Pc gaming has come a long way but some PC gamers are now frustrated because most games today can be played on any console so developers tend to concentrate more on the consoles due to the amount of people that own one. Only a small few games are exclusive to the PC mainly MMO's and Crysis .
