Won't the advantages of striping the drives be negated by the network interface efficiency? I can see the point of striping if it's within a machine with direct bus access but once you're transferring data over a network at 1gb max then striping the drives won't make much difference as you're...

Looking at the What Hi-Fi review for these suggests that using the USB connection is probably the best bet. However you could, if you want to, go down the 3rd party sound card and a 3.5mm analogue connection but I doubt you'll get any improvement in sound quality. Depending on what you're...

Apologies if someone's already suggested this but have you checked Task Manager to see if there's a particular app hogging the processor? It could be as simple as an anti-virus scan isn't finishing while you have the PC on and it starts all over again when you restart - I'm thinking if you run a...

Your other option is keep your existing card and get a USB/VGA or USB/HDMI adapter. There are plenty available - the one below is at the more expensive end of things...

It looks like PC Mag has got it slightly wrong as they're all 'compact' cards i.e. short in length rather than low profile which are low in height from the motherboard. As a note I 'think' you might be able to buy a PCIe riser card which turns the MB socket through 90 degrees allowing you to...

Import them into separate folders, rename where necessary and then merge the 2 folders. Is that an option?

It depends on what you want to use it for as your initial post only stated for charging purposes which doesn't necessarily require show mode. Looking online it will basically give visual results for questions, etc that you ask Alexa and also allow you to watch Prime videos on it. Is there...

You could use the Amazon Fire 8" with the show mode dock? It'll depend on if you can get the app for the Sonos from the Amazon app store, but it's fairly easy to either load the Google Play Store or push an APK (Android app install file) to it and install from that...

Looks like there's £200 back on the G80+Lens kit DMC-G80MEB-K according to the Panasonic site, and on offer on Amazon for £699 makes it £499!! The details on Amazon only state £100 cash back but definitely shows as double cash back on Panasonic. Feel free to correct if I've got this wrong.

Bang for buck you'll not get much better than a Kindle. The next step up could be something like the Huawei MediaPad M3 (£140) or M5 (£220) 8" which would at least give you a boost in processing power. Another alternative would be to buy an 'A' grade device from CEX as you'll get a 2 year...

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I meant a USB Wifi device that has a lead like this https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/9631-tp-link-tl-wn822n/?gclid=CjwKCAjwpeXeBRA6EiwAyoJPKkUTl-BqHTa-jZ1zvLD84qxyyxTPHqIPGAFjuVtEn5rrw4kpMtpDMRoCpzgQAvD_BwE ; that would then allow you to move it to the...

Depending on the distance to your router you may want to look at high gain adapters. Also personally I'd prefer something with a cable rather than a direct USB plug-in as it will allow you to position it away from the base unit if needed. The less objects between the transmitter and receiver...

^ this. And just let her have fun.

I'd happily use Amazon or Ebuyer.com. Just make sure you get the correct interface, although I'd be fairly certain it'll be SATA. Decide on your budget and find something with good/decent user reviews. There's nothing really complicated about them really.

Is it me or does her left pupil look square?
