Overall I was impressed. Its a good action film with a fairly sturdy plot. I found it had the right mix of ingredients necessary for any disaster movie. There were the usual mix of cheesy moments but all were backed up with some stunning visual effects.

I rate it at 8/10 and reccomend to anyone needing a good few hours of well paced action.

So i thought ‘heck I used to be a mad overclocker’ so lets have a go.

I pushed the front side bus to 400, disabled cpu spread spectrum and set the ram to 1:1 ratio (giving it the stock speed of 800MHz) and rebooted…

To my joy the pc now runs at 2.8GHz instead of its design of 2.33GHz. I ran several stabilty tests (designed to stress the system) and all is well.

So for half an hours reading on my favorite overclocking site, Extreme overclockers I have saved near £200 and a faster pc.

Specs:
Asus P5Q-E mainboard
Intel Q8200 CPU
OCZ 4GB ram kit 2 x 2GB DDR2-6400
BFG Nvidia GTS250 1GB
OCZ Modstream 600 watt PSU
OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD
Windows 7 Professional

Been busy working (Taxi driving in my pet Passat), having just got my Hackney drivers badge back after those seven long years abroad.

Just saying hello to anyone that bothers to read this (and it makes talking to myself while writing more socially acceptable).

Its a repurpose of a machine and is an Intel Q8200 (2.33GHz) with 4GB OCZ Gold DDR2, 320GB Seagate SATA, Gigabyte P5Q motherboard. It used to have a pants ATi card, but yesterday I found a BFG Nvidia based GTS250 card and wow I am impressed.

I am running Call Of Duty: World at War and have it maxed out on my screen at 1920×1080 with 4xAA/16xAF all options at max quality. During normal MP Gaming I am seeing 80-120fps.

The card is pretty quiet under load and isnt a power hog either (it does need 2×6pin PCIe power cables). The OCZ Modstream 600 is happy with this setup.

I paid €185 locally here in Malta which is a bargain (local prices range from €200 to €220).

all in all I give this card 5/5

I am sad and excited at the same time as I wait to watch the climax of this legendary series.

The UN recently hosted the Quorum of the Twelve and that will go down in history I am sure.

I am not going to write one word of spoiler (not for a few days anyways)…..

I liked its pace and the plot was intelligent enough to be believable. The pace kept up with the plot and only a few ‘ooh didn’t see that coming’ moments.

The ending I found great; no cliche, no fuss, just a good ending for a suspense thriller.

I bumped into only one problem in that my trial was about to expire before I was ready to sign up (moving countries puts a strain on the budget). I emailed Smugmug support explaining this and they immediately extended my trial period to allow me the grace to get sorted and pay for my membership!

What excellent service indeed.
