I think the routers/ports link is supposed to be PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall, not Point Forward

What? No Scan or Aria in the UK parts list? Shocker.

Kaiyoko-Desu · 07-01-2009, 03:18 AM

Hmm. I'll like to recommend a few:

Reviewing Sites - English

www.hardocp.com - HardOCP
www.techreport.com- TechReport
www.firingsquad.com - Firing Squad
www.3dgameman.com - 3D Gamer Man Reviews

PC Building: Canada

www.newegg.ca - newegg for Canada
www.ncix.com - NCIX
www.directcanada.com - Direct Canada

I only know the Canadian stuff because I have a few friends in Canada and happen to know this stuff.

Question: do we want to add links for common drivers (ie ATI's/nVidia's/RealTek/Creative) and DirectX? Probably a good idea for those running into driver issues.

I've always used GURU3D/ for hardware reviews, pc-building advice, overclocking advice.
They have very good forums too if you need any sort of hardware advice. Some guys are pretty hardcore there so don't ask things without researching a bit first :P

hadji13 · 08-11-2009, 08:08 AM

bensbargains.com

PC Building UK: scan.co.uk (Very good site.)

g0tanks · 08-28-2009, 06:14 AM

How about google.com, pretty much 9/10 questions people ask here can be answered by putting in a little effort themselves and google it.

process explorer , to get a good glimpse of what is running ( and how process threads look ) prior to starting gameguard/aion and which application might cause issues . It's also useful because one can save the process list ( even with dual pane view ,with loaded dll's in lower pane ) and post that on this forum when asking for gameguard related assistance.

Process Explorer

UBCD4win,ultimate boot cd with a large number of tools to check your hardware and even do some adware/virus scans (download and build the iso,burn the cd and then boot from cd ) .

UBCD for Windows

ccleaner
clean up your hdd .

gparted

create partitions with a bootable live cd containing a partition manager.
