emachines 770 drivers

Hello,

I hate it when someone brings a faulty "emachines" tower into the shop and they dont have a driver disk.

The current problem is that although Windows Home SP2 seems to find the majority of motherboard drivers, it cant find the audio, vga or USB drivers for the board.

This is no surprise when you consider that any item removed from the computer for inspection is labled "triGem" which is a partner of Olivetti. The fact that neither of these websites (including uk.emachines.com) will list this particular make and model of computer in its drivers section just enrages me.

Running around the net, looking on driverguide, trying different AC97 drivers have all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Thinging of buying emachines? DONT! You will be VERY sorry, speak to us about one of our computer systems, at least you will be able to get some tech support or downloads when things go wrong.

Buying a computer thats "future proof"

Greetings one and all,

So its time to buy a new computer, and your old one just kicked the bucket?
Im guessing if you found this post via the search engines you typed in "Future proof Computer" and I am also guessing your computer knowledge is lacking.

To clear this subject up, once and for all, let me explain what the words Future Proof actually say about anyone using this search phrase. It says you want to buy a computer and you dont want to be running to the local computer store buying computer upgrades for it in a few months time!

When buying a new computer You should consider what you want to use the computer for. If your looking for the ultimate games machine then making sure its "future proof" is important. The games industry is what has pushed computer technology forward over the years and you can be sure that your graphics card will be out of date within 3 years or even sooner.

If you just want to word process, surf the net or send emails then our basic computer system will do fine. You have the option of adding a graphics card for occasional games and it will happily copy CD's and DVD's.

I do a lot of web design and I can happily code, create images and write software on any computer ranging from a 5 year old Pentium 2 400Mhz to an old Acer Notebook.

So if you want to buy a computer for basic stuff then dont spend thousands of pounds. Give us a call at AK Computers and we can advise you on how to get the best for your money.

Sweden V EngerLand - Draw

Which is good for Sven cos i dont think they would let him back in the country if we slapped some ass on the pitch last night.

Anyway, if you have been struggling to see the swelling on Rooneys foot then its time for a new television.

WHOOOAAA! To the rescue! Check out our Plasman and HD Televions here: -

HD or Plasa Television and Video/DVD Recorders

They are jusgt like the ones in Germany apart from they are a fair deal smaller and you dont get unwelcome visitors tipping beer over you whenever Someone scores and goal.

You know it makes sense.

A warm goodbye to Sam at Funky Fones

Just a quick post to let our customers and fans know that Sam from Funky Fones has decided to uproot and leave.

His Holyness will be sorely missed but those of you who like to play Counter Strike CS can Kick his booty at http://www.funkyclan.co.uk.

Thanks Sam for all the biscuits, Cups of tea, and times Ive borrowed tools and stuff such as soldering irons and solvents (Used for repairing computers, not getting high, I prefer Toilet Duck myself...)

Goody Sam, Farewell, Good Luck and all that.... You will be sorely missed.

ENGERLANNNND! INGERLAND!

World Cup Fever has hit the majority at AK Computers recently. In fact, all over Manchester we are seeing England Flags, people taking time off work and the unfortunate ones getting into drunken brawls in the town centre.
I too have been blessed with a digital TV Card so that I can keep track of just how well the World Cup is going, what sports personalities are saying, what beer people are drinking and Rooneys Foot.
To be honest the quality of the Digital TV Card I have is fantastic and you can buy it from us at only £47.
Again, its sad to say that my boss wont give me one of those lovely HD TV's to Test but hey, at least I can watch the cartoons now.
