pls help..
my current rig:

i am not going to upgrade the graphic card until i get a 24 or 30 inch LCD.
since vista is coming soon. i want to get a new hd, my hd is running out of space soon..
should i get a...
if lian li over coolermaster....
Lian li is better...
and if you are having a 8800gtx..um..get a case with side windows...then you can look at it. and show that off...") lol
this is because...amd ocing and intel ocing are different..
on amd platform, u can always make the memory to run a lower speed. in order to achieve a higher FSB on cpu.
also lower the timing.. like 200mhz running 2 2 2 5, and 240mhz may be 3 3 3 8 something... if you want your memory run...
i know...but the things is....is a better ram can make the cpu overclock more..?
because some1 say when he get a better ram then can hit 3.0ghz ..that's make no sense.
i m just confuse...in my mind that..cpu's overclocking result is not depends on how good your ram is.
because u can always lower the divider. to make the ram run at a lower speed....and lower timing...
but someone say: my ram is holding me back..
and he is doing 2.7ghz on his x2...
because his topic is
Have 7950 GX2 - is 8800 worth upgrading to?
that's why...and he already has a x2 4800 with stock speed...with no oc. and see no point if he get C2D without OCing.
um...worth to upgrade..
because you are playing on high res. 1600x1200 and max out, it wont get any cpu bottle neck.
you will have nice fps increase.
correct me if i m wrong..:)
btw, is your cpu OCed?

i really dont get it, um..seem like getting a win xp and vista home premium for 140 cad?
am i correct?
and do they just come with a upgrade disk for install vista? or just a flesh copy of vista?
anyone knows?
i would vote for x2 3800, it can go from 2.0 to somehow 2.7-2.8ghz.(gain like 700mhz)
also it get the 10x, so make ocing easier. just to lower the fsb/ram ratio.
correct me if i m wrong~
and tell me what's your opinion and why?:)
thanks all..
um..windows version of norton ghost is more user friendly and the dos version 1 is better right?
btw...where can i find the dos version 1.
i m going to replace my hard drive to a bigger size, and i dun wanna reinstall everything again including windows.
it's there a way that i can clone the old hd into the new hd.
then i can just plug the new hd, and good to go.
thanks!
:)
thanks for the answer, but didnt help much tho..
just wanna know what's the different between sli and 1 card on 1280x1024.
i heard some people say, sli not worth it if you are running a res lower than the 20 inch lcd.
anyways...has lot of money (not=) buy things without thinking. ;)
i have a MSI 7900gto which is running a GTX speed, just so tempted to get anothet 1 to run sli.
i am gaming on 19inch LCD 1280x1024.
should i go sli or just save my money?
i have another suggestion..
just replace your c2d e6600 to e6300 or 6400, that will save you some bucks.
then get a 7950 gx2 or 1950xtx or 8800GTS
(if you are goin to OC), but i assuming you are, because you are getting the gigabyte DS3
also 600w is too much for a single card! 500W...
it's depends on what res you are playing at?
i mean starting at 1280x1024 with 4aa and 16af, 512mb will be better for same card..
i mean 7900gt 256 vs 7900gt 512.
i am not sure different card tho.
anyways, either 1 will good for gaming! good luck of chosing it!
by the way. i like...
