most of the time, rams kong due to static...very sensitive...and improper removal from mobo(need to wait for at least 10secs with the power cable out frm psu)

hmm.. i always had power cable in the PSU and always just yank the RAM out to test

haha maybe ive been lucky..

lol me too, sometimes i do take the power cable off, but never wait for 10 seconds. yeah jcsy, we've been lucky

well, even we shutdown our PC, there is still supply going into the mobo...until u remove the main cable.

most mobo, with the power cable removed, can discharge quickly...so would not cause any harm...

but who knows....sometimes luck won't always be there...

hai guise, anyone looking for memory?
several 512MB pair and 1GB pair too

PM ME PRICE OF 1GB DDR400

currently got 1gb rams...and got the gfx card from powerw00t...x1300, with shader 3.0.

mebbe u r right....1gb rams oso not enough...

I see some Hyper-X over there. What is the price for 512MB and 1GB RAM?

1GB of RAM isn't that sufficient if you are going to load heavier games.

currently seems so hard to find gc like x1300 right?

@raymond,
i think 2gb is the sweet spot for windows xp, and for our p4 systems.

@unknownH,
yeah, i see at garage sales mostly old generation cards, like the ati 9k series or geforce 5 series. newer series quite rare already.

Lol. Mine super lucky. One of my RAM was revived after being wash thoroughly with water, soap and clean it by toothbrush. And the RAM beforehand was bent and throw at wall.
Learnt this super trick at this webbie

there's someone selling a gfx...seems like it's suitable for our system...

I think the optimal one will be at 2GB but 3GB will be the best cause you may boost your system faster without the need for virtual memory from our HDDs. I have a Leadtek 5900 lying around.Are you interested?

currently don't need agp gc already
i think UnknownH is looking for sm3.0 gc

if can wash then it'll be good
easy to clean, coz i'm lazy to clean up the dust on the mobo and other hardwares

Wow....Kingston Hyper X RAMs, used to own a pair of KHX BH5 rams

ktek, do you know what are the chips used in those KHXs?

most of them got "powderfool IC" inside, let me list them down:
KHX3200ULK2 2x512MB 2-2-2-5 <TCCD inside>
KHX3200 2x1GB 3-3-3-8 <unsure, test later>
Kingston normal 4x1GB 3-3-3-8 <unsure, test later>
Mushkin Blueline 512MB 2-2-2-5 <Winbond UTT>
Mushkin Redline 512MB 2-2-2-5 <Winbond UTT>
Corsair XMS3200C2PRO v1.1 2x512MB 2-X-X-X <old winbond? test later>
hope to sell the 512MB wan la, didn't test most of 1GB yet.

now DDR RAM price is stable or going up?

Guys, I am about to order this psu huntkey 550w green star. Anybodeh here using it?. Read the reviews about this model, no so great conclusions. However I am thinking not to drag the psu until it xplodes as I am not using any power hunger devices within my rig. First thought about to get the xigmatek 500, but the conclusions just about on par with huntkey... value wise I am going for huntkey at rm130 where xigmatek at rm230. Pls advise.. thanks.

i think huntkey greenstar is fine lar since u don't use power hunger parts.
value>performance

bro Yazid,

I've been using Huntkey greenstar PSU for sometime now...from my c2d rig(my main rig)...now transferred to my wife's rig...no problems so far.

It's true that huntkey is not able to deliver the rated power...but for normal usage, ie, no overclocking, etc etc...the huntkey is alright...

the huntkey does not dissapoint, and good value to those who are moderate users....

Smells TCCD & probably some BH-5 to be in the ram list. Guys, just grab the TCCD since it comes with pair! Gem indeed! Something that i used to break 4Ghz! ....
