adding the SSD would be more of a hassle than the CPU upgrade, but periodically I do install Linux afresh - might wait until 16.04 LTS is released and use that as an excuse ;) the T9600 (2.8Ghz, 6Mb L2) CPUs seem to be going for about £25. think I might get one of them..

good spot - not sure why I put that, may be a dream :oops: 4Gb RAM (2x 2Gb)

yeah, I checked again yesterday and spotted that ;) there are plenty of options though - any of the T9xxx, P8xxx or P9xxx would be ok?

hi, I have set up a 2nd router in my house to extend the wi-fi signal. it works well. check out http://lifehacker.com/5563196/turn-your-old-router-into-a-range-boosting-wi-fi-repeater don't bother with flashing the DD-WRT firmware, you can buy a 2nd router off eBay with DD-WRT already...

yes, that's what I thought when I saw the price. in truth, I was hoping someone would be able to confirm my thoughts about the CPU being compatible ;) was wondering about the 1066Mhz FSB - the RAM is 800Mhz, will this be an issue? or shall I see if I can find a 800Mhz CPU? (T9500 maybe)...

hi all. I have a 2008 Dell Studio 1537 that gets everyday use and I am thinking of upgrading to increase it's lifespan. the main tasks are image editing and the usual browsing/youtube, etc. it's current spec is: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz, 1Mb L2 cache 4Gb RAM 800Mhz...

thanks for all the replies guys (& gals?). after mucking around some more, I found a guide to set-up DHCP on the Technicolor (you have to telnet in). http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,104411.0.html/ all is well now and I didn't need to use the Netgear after all :D

hi all, the router supplied by my broadband supplier (Technicolor TG582n) has been struggling with all my internal network requirements and is a pig to configure. I decided to dig out my old Netgear DG834GT router to use as for DHCP and wireless, just leaving the Technicolor as the DSL...

just to update - we have completed the cloakroom. really happy with how it turned out for such a small space.

thanks Alan, if you could that would be great!

hi all, we are going to have a downstairs cupboard converted into a cloakroom but it will be very tight (about 700x1150). need some ideas on decoration - would floor-to-ceiling tiles work best or something else to try to make it feel a bit more spacious? thanks!

hi all, am currently battling against some field mice that I think have taken up residency in the cavity wall of our kitchen. there is "evidence" behind the plinths and in the open backed kitchen units. it looks like when the kitchen was fitted, they failed to block the old waste pipe...

we have one of these in our garden which was very overgrown when we moved in last year. I gave it a severe chop back around May time and there has been masses of new growth since then. I don't know if it will solve your problem, but they seem to be able to take a good prune and bounce...

hi guys, we moved last year and the new place has a nice decking out the back. it's not grooved like most I've seem and looks like some kind of hardwood. apparently, it's only been down a couple of years and was stained/coloured a red colour originally which has work badly in places, but...
