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TS, why would you want to get the outdated k8 dualie again?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

QUOTE(Irishcoffee @ Nov 6 2009, 04:08 AM) nope , his mobo not support phenom the mobo max support is amd 6400+ izzit same family? 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. This post has been edited by InFe_eD: Nov 6 2009, 04:18 AM

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ Nov 6 2009, 04:21 AM) 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  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.

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ Nov 6 2009, 04:53 AM) 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  Strange... 2.5ghz max oc is not consistent with what we normally see from windsor.

I just notice that your Windsor is a F2, else you will be able reach to 3ghz easily Anyways, 2.5ghz is good enuf to pair up with a 4470 ady, good luck in your graphic card shopping

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ Nov 6 2009, 05:49 AM) haha thanks bro for all the advice  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? This post has been edited by InFe_eD: Nov 6 2009, 06:18 AM

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

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ Nov 6 2009, 02:33 PM) 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.  may i know why it's slow? is it because of the rpm? Not just the rpm, the platter sizes matter too IIRC.
