The Internetz are confusing me :undecided

Is anything missing from the UK (or European) versions of Windows 7 compared with their US equivalents?

I had read that IE8 and WMP (and other stuff) would not be incluided - but some say that they are.

Also, doesn't Windows Update rely on having IE installed anyway? ]]> SCAN 3XS Systems Support DarkStar_GT http://forums.hexus.net/scan-3xs-systems-support/175730-windows-7-uk-europe-ie8-wmp.html 3XS p55 LiteDAW - 9/10 in cm146 http://forums.hexus.net/scan-3xs-systems-support/175707-3xs-p55-litedaw-9-10-cm146.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:52:56 GMT In the December issue (#146) of ComputerMusic, Scan's liteDAW scored 9/10.

"A highly impressive system"
"the most flat-out powerful we've ever used"

No, I'm not going to quote any more - go get the magazine (in the UK shops from 26? Nov) and yes, Scan do advertise in CM.

I've had my 3xs PC for a couple of days now and I'm really pleased with it but I have this strange problem with the sound.

I can quite happily be listening to my music or doing something, then the sound will go off. If I go to my creative control panel I can see the sound effects showing as playing on the icon but nothing is coming through the speakers. If I reboot the system it works fine and the sound is back.

I've plugged the speakers into the other sockets but nothing comes out of those either when the sound is gone.

Any clues what this might be?

Thanks in advance. ]]> SCAN 3XS Systems Support rzk http://forums.hexus.net/scan-3xs-systems-support/175692-weird-sound-problem.html 3XS P55 OC - Custom Series Order http://forums.hexus.net/scan-3xs-systems-support/175656-3xs-p55-oc-custom-series-order.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:32:36 GMT Hi Scan!

I want to order a 3XS P55 OC - Custom Series system for my birthday (13th Dec) but I have a few questions I’m hoping you can answer before I purchase!

Firstly looking at the 3XS P55 OC - Custom Series - New Oct 09 page and it says it comes with a 2 year warranty (first year on-site 2nd return)

But when I add to my basket it says only LN1272 Scan 3XS System - 1year Onsite Warranty (Mainland UK) in the description in blue?

Also,

I was wondering why adding another 4GB of memory will limit the overclock? Does this mean I won’t be able to add more RAM to the build in the future without it going wrong? And if I can add more RAM in the future will I have to remove the nice big CPU cooler to get to the extra RAM slots?

I hwould be very thankful if someone can enlighten me with regards to all this as I’ve been looking to buy (originally was going to self build) for the last 6 months and in the time of searching and reading I've found your site, build quality, components used and your customer service to be head and shoulders above all the competition which I have been looking into.

Regards

Simon

Edit: I forgot to mention the reason I'm going for the Custom Series is to swap the XFX GTX 260 card for the HD 5850, I know you guys must be sick of people asking this question but if I do order within the next few weeks will the 5850 be instock intime for me to get my system before Christmas?
