You needed to change the motherboard as well? Pricey upgrade then

And yes you might need to do at least something on the cablemanagement side. :D

Not bothered about the techie stuff, except my home PC is pretty decent, and my work PC is "adequate".

Work PC


Home PC



LOL work PC is a Dell OptiPlex 7010 (core i5 probs) :p can you tell our approved Vendor is/was Dell :p I also see a work issued Ms Intellieye Explorer Mouse :p (hurrah) AND an old school Nortel PBX phone, tell your company to leave the 20th Century with that Nortel unit!

I3 3.3GHz with Windows 7 64bit actually lol. 4Gb RAM We've always bought Dell PC's and this one is only a few months old as the other went tits up...and the phones are a joke. Our IT director said that if he had realised what it was going to be like he'd not have had any land lines and just had mobiles. All of our Contracts staff who are normally out of the office have land line numbers that are diverted to their mobiles so no desk phones.

Dual big jobby screens are a great thing though. Shame my home PC is in a cupboard that cant fit in 2 screens.

the Nortel manufacturers don't even exist anymore matey ;) they went under at least 6 yr ago :) tell your IT boss he needs Aviaya or Panasonic KX-DT321s (and compat PBX switchboard) ;) out of hours my direct line is diverted to my work mobile, VOIP comes as standard for internal calls/worldwide WAN calls internally to our corp. My handsfree handset on my office number converts to a mobile when im outwith the local area of the buildings, no escape for me :(

Those dell 7010s are no bad tbvh, we have a good few of the Core i5 versions. And yes multi-screens is a godsend, I run 3x 28" 1920x1200 at work (well technically its 4 but the 3rd one displays my metrics for response times and server stats for this local site.

One thing that always cracks me up, so many users have a separate calculator........even my scientists in here do it, despite Win 7 having a fully fledged scientific calculator in calc.exe :D
Old habits die hard :)

I don't think any one here uses the windows calculator. I wouldnt even use the "pocket" scientific ones as the buttons are too small for fast input and I guess I can tap a button faster than I can click a mouse. I suppose that as I also use a lot of printed out quotes and measurements on my desk that looking up and down at a screen would take longer.

There is one woman in another department who tends to tap everything into Excel and then sum it up rather than add it on a calculator lol. And theres a bloke in yet another dept who uses one of those old fashioned calculators that prints off a "receipt" type paper strip.

Just looked at my phone - its a BT badged jobby. TBH no one here has ever read their manual. All I can do is make calls, answer calls forward calls and every so often, lose calls lmao.

If It can't fit 2, buy 1 big one which is exactly the size of the cupboard :D

The 21:9 monitors that are coming out lately are not bad either for working with 2 windows side by side. You get a resolution like 2560X1080 or smth instead of 1920x1080.

oh I'd love to, but politically that would be suicide. The current monitor was a present from my wife. If I replaced it she'd go ape and I'd feel all guilty. Besides, what I have is ample good enough until it goes pop, plus with my patent TS tablet I'm all techied up :)
