I got 2 units CRT which is still working, 1 is LG 17" flatscreen LG brand but there are hole on top of it caused my kid step on it. Seems very ugly due the hole I bought another 1 a 17" under Multimax brand. Now those 2 resting under the bed giving the way to the LCD pulak.

Sometime I am thinking to assemble another 2 units of s478 rig pc as I currently have

2 units of working monitor
3 pcs s478 - 2.6ghz, 2.8ghz and 1.6ghz processor
2 pcs of working mobos supported HT , 800fsb
1 pc 1gb DDR1 ram
2 pcs 512mb DDR1 ram and few pcs 256mb ram
1 pc of AGP 8x ATI radeon X1300 256mb and reserved to ravewar
2 pcs of 80gb IDE HDD, 1 currently in use for my linux
1 unit 400w PSU
cables, mouse, keyboards are all sufficient to complete the rig except no casing available at the moment.

you must be using NVIDIA GeForce 8 series and above , not quite sure for ATI users
Depends , if its uncompresssed even my Pentium III can handle HD movies. H.264 is a compressed format , if you let it to be RAW , pretty much these CPUs can handle it

8 series and above?
Too bad for old school users.
The best for AGP I ever saw is only 7800GT. hmm.gif

Mehh... I'll leave the 1080 playback to my other more capable rigs. laugh.gif

haha make sure its the latest PS3 Slim

anyways, PS3 got really high maintenance for movies and games , especially in Malaysia.. cost of these things are really high here

A bit of OT, but I'll still explain nonetheless

Sony knows games costs a limb (or maybe limbs in our country) and thus PS3 got demos for users to download FOC for them to try out first before buying it.

If computer games are made like PS3 games, which is anti-copy, then the cost for PC gaming is more or less similar to owning a PS3 as well.

Depending on mobo how it called and how it works, my bios called it as fsb i.e 200 multiplier of 12.5 =  2500mhz default. To overclock it I am increasing the fsb from 200 to 240 x12.5 = 3000mhz, the highest stable I can succeed was 270 = 3375mhz, higher than that windows not so stable edi. My pci voltage are currently locked. Maybe in your case your mobo does not so friendly in oc, time to change to new one hehe
*
Owh.
Coz sometimes I saw a lot of thing like increase voltage etc but I couldn't find any at my G31 chipset P5KPL/1600

The only thing that increase my clock speed and FSB is the CPU Clock.

No need to change to new one bah. I didn't feel any performance difference when I am at 3.33GHz, 3.16 GHz and 2.80GHz (stock) also. The only difference it makes is my Windows wont boot when I am at 3.46GHz. laugh.gif
But I did realize the increase of FPS when I OC my GC from 580MHz to 700MHz.

So long, fellow users! I'm finally upgrading from P4 2.53Ghz to Core i7 860 (obviously a whole new PC altogether)

It has served me very well for the past 6 years  smile.gif

Windows 7 Starter is very very basic, more basic than 7 Home. Mainly used for netbooks.

windows 7 definitely. i think the driver support inside win 7 is much better compared to vista. besides the better performance, the interface is also much improved smile.gif

best thing about drivers for win7 is Win7 will automatically search in the internet for the hardware drivers, saving users the hassle of goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogling*.


*the O represents the timing needed tos earch for drivers especially old hardwares

yeah, i didn't even need to install any drivers for my mobo, gc and audio actually when i first installed win 7, but of course better to install back the actual drivers biggrin.gif

the driver searching thing also helped a lot, as v12 said, no need to waste time googling here and there searching for the right one.
*
I've tried for a very long time searching for the driver for my Logitech wheel but all those drivers I found are either linked to a broken link, XP compatible only and suspected malware. I almost give up, but then suddenly the windows taskbar pops out "Your hardware driver has been installed successfully" and I was like lolwad?

However there are still flaws.
My audio driver is mixed up. Microsoft go install some other audio driver, so I have to reinstall my VIA HD Audio Deck from the CD. Sound is so much better bow. lol

and the driver for my 9800GT in Windows Update cannot be installed till now. So I have to download it my own and it comes with some 3D Vision softwares now. No time to explore the content and the purpose

BTW, to Win7 users, does your desktop ahs the "shake" function? hmm.gif

Anyway, I am making my P4 into a "server" now. Just for downloading 24/7 and as network storage place.

I am thinking to downclock it back to 2.4, add in another 1TB hard disk next month and another 1TB the following month.

Anymore recommendations?

Now I am kinda divided between Win7 and WIn XP only. If I would like to put in WIn7, I'll have to buy a decent graphic card since my 7300GT already kaput.

and I am still on RAM hunting now. ~.~

@V12Kompressor, get Win XP to be installed in the server there cause currently is the most popular and stable. Win7 is still in RTM version,not sure the retail version has reach our shore here. On the GC,maybe you can get a decent HD4650 from Sapphire. Has a forummer here selling this card at RM250 only. It is an AGP slot.
*
Retain version edi reach our shore. So do OEM.
However, retail version is not for sale yet.

4650 is like wasting resources only. hmm.gif
Perhaps I'll forgo GC since I am planning to stick to XP.

Now is RAMs. ~.~
1GB modules are rare and rare comes with a huge price tag.
