Hi e_k1117,bought it at about RM200 like that.Well on psu,my Acbel 450w psu can stand for it. I've tested the card with folding running for 5 days. I've no idea with the maximum load on the card,guess won't > 150w on it.

Have you bought a new card for yourself? Your psu can't stand with your new card is it?

nop. haven buy yet lor.....
before this was thinking upgrade PRoc, RAM n mobo.
but after think twice and budget not enough,
so have to use back my old rig and upgrade the GC that can support DOTA for 24inch LCD with high setting full reso.
can 2600xt able to support?
sumore i think my PSU not true pwr one..... is peak 450W only...

@e_k1117

Normal use should be alright. But if go for OC, then better dont. 2600xt should be enough for ur requirement actually, Dota aint a resource hogging game.

@e_k1117,playing dota with 2600XT should not be a problem for you as fylon said.Your 1.5GB RAM is already enough for gaming,you are planning to upgrade it also?If you are going to upgrade all hardwares,suggest you to get new LGA775 platform already.

@ray
yaya, at 1st i also think that wan to upgrade to new platform. but then is AMD one. cheaper..... hahaha... coz i just use to play DOTA only......

so feels like is a waste for my old rig if wan to upgrade the whole PC..... feels like not worth as now just use it to watch movie and play dota only......

so now decided to upgrade my GC (<RM150 if posible) for the moment now....

@e_k1117,your P4 3.0HT can't handle the game well? I'm doubt that dota need such high speed processor to play the game.

i think is my GC problem. last week i tried to play Dota in 1680x1050 resolution. it lag like hell and my fps only around 20-25 or even worse when all heroes stick together.
so i think is my GC problem.

3.0G ain't a problem for Dota actually, main concern is the graphic card. 64bit memory interface is not sufficient for 24inch LCD. Somemore on 1680x1050 reso.

This is true.64bits of memory interface is really a cripple one.

Added on May 18, 2009, 2:28 pm@e_k1117,based on the psu calculatino form web. My system will only load at 257w if CPU and GPU are at 100% loading. So a 450w psu is just nice for handle our old school rig.

My last true Socket 478 board died about half a year ago. Got a zombie replacement "945GCM478" from MSI. Unfortunately it have a ghost in it - everyday at 00:00 system clock it will automatically start itself up. I'm wondering among the people here anyone had this experience?

Edit: Corrected to 00:00. It will be less scary if it starts up in broad daylight

You did check at the time 00:00 to start up the pc automatically in bios?

Nope, I did not. And I don't think the basic BIOS that shipped with the board have that function (there are absolutely no OC functions whatsoever)

By the way, am looking for another S478 board to replace a broken system (running 2.4GHz Northwood 800Mhz FSB) but unfortunately the replacement market for this venerable (and still very popular!) socket are limited to 2 local manufacturers: 1. Enlight 2. JW Power that only offers 6 months warranty. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a good replacement board that does not feature dodgy looking capacitors with a dodgy warranty period to match?

does any one here know why my mobo like tend to forgot the time.... if few days didn't On it, then the time and date will lari alr... does it related to my Battery or others?

my 478 is in agony. i think i wanna change to latest mobo. but idk which version including processor is good. what dya think?

Enlight and JW Power? Maybe MSI 945G is another alternative choice for you?

The battery needs to be replaced. GEt a new one.

Which mobo you woud lile to change?
