What I am trying to say is, X2 3600+, how many times faster in comparison?

- ATHLON AM2 X2 3800+
- CORSAIR PC667 DDR2 VS 1GB x2

Would Biostar 6100 be a good choice for mobo, if I were to have a dedicated GC?
If I'm not wrong, Biostar has a built-in VGA, should I be opting for another mobo?

Any recommendations for GC for budget RM250 - RM380?

Isn't good to buy Xfx Geforce 7900gs Extreme? Got someone selling it with more 5 month warranty from shop at RM450...

X2 3600 Brisbane : 1.9GHz
X2 3800 Windsor : 2.0GHz
Cache : 512kbx2 (same)

so for me, the difference is barely noticeable..do u can tell how fast is P4 3.2GHz than P4 3.0GHz?
i used both (3600 and 3800) before, and Brisbane is better for me since its cooler and very overclockable..and yes i didnt notice any difference so far..

Biostar 6100 is cheap, yet its good for budget oriented user..
at least with that price (around RM200), its the best mobo, better than MSI, Gigabyte and Asus in that range..

yes Biostar 6100 has an onboard graphic, i dun think it will cause a problem if u r using an independent graphic card right? at least ur pc still can be used without gc, but of course u need to sacrifice some space of ur ram..

for that budget, perhaps u can go for 7600 series..
if u can fork out up to RM500, go for 7900GS..
8series? dun take the card lower than 8600GT..

Specs -
RM210; ATHLON AM2 X2 3800+
RM215; BIOSTAR 6100 AM2
RM280; CORSAIR PC667 DDR2 VS 1GB x2
RM279; NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500GT 256MB DDR2 ( 450 / 800 MHZ )

Need your opinion on its compatibility issue.
- 2yrs old AcBel 400w, can this be salvaged onto a m-atx casing?
- compatible with Windows Vista?

E2140/E4300 with Gigabyte GA-P965-S3, is it a good pair for OCing?

yup,E2140 is a very good overclocker,and u can pair with with Biostar P965,sure skyrocketing

Skyrocketing eh? Consider pair up with VR and normal PSU, estimated can go around how high?

hi,
i'm planning to build a C2D 6600 rig.

which batch is the best?
which mobo should i use?

all those thing mainly for overclocking...

from my eperience of using more than 10 pieces of Corsair VS,90% of them stable @ 850MHz, (relabelled chipset),so that's mean the E21xx can oc to 3.0GHz no problem,if ur setup is less hardwares (1 hdd,1 dvdrom and 1 standard gc),normal psu will do.

well,which batch ah,
u can try ur luck with L629F125,irenic last time can hit 3.825GHz with 1.42vcore (depend ur lcuk,no promise those good batch can do some nice overclocking,i mean,not all L629F125 can do the same result as irenic did.)

mobo-
P35-DQ6,Biostar P965,DFI Dark Power

good luck out there bro.

you might wanna reconsider your graphic card imho it's not worth to get it

anyone here using gigabyte GA-P35-S3? is it good for oc?

I want to change my current display 17" to 19" lcd monitor. Isn't quite big different?

Currently i'm own Viewsonic VX715 but aim Dell now

Isn't worth to buy?

bro,if the pc is for surfing and office work (assignment),i think a rm1k pc will do the jobs perfectly.

but if u look at it properly,he wans a quite good mobo and light gaming card from the hardware it mention.

to limjix:
if u wan good graphic card,it doesn't come from asus and MSI which mainly manufacture mobo.look for brands which mainly make GC not mobo.example:galaxy,winfast,gainward cardxpert,XFX, and many others.
if u wan good mobo, go for the P35 chipset series.965 is already outdate now.for ard 30 bucks like dat extra, y not go for a lil more advanced chipset.i suggest gigabyte P35-DS3.

actually if u only do assignments,Pentium Dual Core E 2140 also good enuf le.if i were u,i get 2Gb of RAM.coz now DDR2 price increasing.it will continue increase coz DDR3 is out.if u plan to upgrade,the cost will be higher in future.

to AceCombat:
tell me wat rig would u recommend for a budget of 1k with all the brands i stated above........and my bro wants this to kinda be a replacement for his old pentium 2 computer

To k!nex:
Well my dad really wants Asus mobo because it has served my bro and my computer for a long time and still no problem. And also i have been using MSI graphic card so i prefer to have the brands we have used before. Thx about the info on the processor and RAM. U sure RAM can increase the performance better than the processor?

so any more suggestions?
