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.

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TS, why would you want to get the outdated k8 dualie again?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

Oic, guess it's better for him to just change the mobo altogethers then.


TS: Try overclocking your athlonx2, 2.8ghz is easily attainable even with stock cooling. It will make a good match with 4670/4830/4770/4850.

im afraid, like another forumer pointed out, that my mobo cant support phenom or any AM2+ procs.
my max stable with the 3600+ is 2.5Ghz. well i dont intend to OC my proc nowadays as more damage to TNB bills tongue.gif

IF you didn't increase the CPU Vcore, overclocking your cpu wont use up more wattage. Actually I even undervolting while overclocking my brizzy. More performance and less TNB bills for free. icon_rolleyes.gif

well, upping the vcore or not, that's the max i can go anyway iianm. tried to bump to 1.3~1.4v but still 2.5Ghz max stable sweat.gif

Strange... 2.5ghz max oc is not consistent with what we normally see from windsor. hmm.gif

I just notice that your Windsor is a F2, else you will be able reach to 3ghz easily sweat.gif

Anyways, 2.5ghz is good enuf to pair up with a 4470 ady, good luck in your graphic card shopping biggrin.gif

haha thanks bro for all the advice smile.gif

one more thing, is it worth the trouble for me to RAID-0 the hard disk with another low capacity hard disk? probably with another 80GB or 160GB. or just wait for Caviar Black just like another forumer mentioned?
*
Yes you can but its performance would clearly behind that of a RAID array based on identical hard drives. IIRC, some1 care to clarify?

Oic, I don't think a RAID 0 of 2 small hdd will give much performance boost. Consider the limited space too I don't think that it's worth the hassle.

I had heard from my frens that the Samsung F1 Spinpoint 1 TB perform better then the Caviar Black, tho Im not sure abt this as I had never use Samsung.

Or you might wanna try 2 WD 500gb in RAID 0, really recommended thumbup.gif

i thought of using that RAID-0 drives for the OS, and when i got the money next time i'll just buy a normal 1 tera hard disk. hmm.gif

may i know why it's slow? is it because of the rpm?

Not just the rpm, the platter sizes matter too IIRC.
