old story:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « addon: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « updated: problem solved, it's the board and processor that died. and i dont know why suddenly it died.  and i bought a Athlon II x4 620 instead of buying the 9150e from my friend, and bought a new board (Asus M2N68-AM Plus):  thanks to everyone that helped, especially goldfries and InFe_eD  This post has been edited by cloudstrife07: Nov 8 2009, 01:36 AM |

the HD4770 is good but that X4 no point la. you get 4 cores but drop in speed.
if you need to upgrade, aim for a higher clock speed X2 like those around RM 200 - 300 range. edited : oh, new processors may not work that well. so you can get stuff like X2 5200+ used unit. |

what games do you play?
going from 2ghz to 1.8ghz feels similar, in most cases it's a downgrade. |

unless u r doing rendering u r downgrading rather than upgrade although 150 is cheap y dun u upgrade your ram im sure the performance boost is more noticable |

2gb ram is more then enough already, especially considering TS is NOT using on-board graphic.
I have 4gb of ram and even after disabling the pagefile completely, I still didn't utilized more then 2gig of ram usage. |

TS could simply stick to only the 4770 and leave things be for now.
Another idea is to buy a newer hard disk, maybe a 1 TB Black. That 160 GB is likely to be rather slow and a new hard disk may grant quite noticeable perf improvements. |

150 buck for a phenomx4 is quite a bargain. If you are comfortable with OC, I suggest that you get it from ur fren, of coz only if ur mobo can support it thru a bios update.
2.2ghz is easily attainable. TS, why would you want to get the outdated k8 dualie again? Especially considering you're already using 1 urself This post has been edited by InFe_eD: Nov 6 2009, 04:04 AM |
