Other than Memtest,cannot get other applications which can use up the RAM? Sad case is P4 is not that powerful,else we can do hyper-thread job like decode/encode + gaming at the same time.

I think this is a bit low.Refer to my post previously.

If encoding, it depends on how big the output and resolution it will be
The bigger more RAM used up, same with video playback

using W7 before...but switching back to XP cos not enough ram (1.5G only)....for gaming.
but my scores is 4.0 above.....single HDD is the lowest point..

@ray & exuar,
thanks for the reply. what could be the problem? the only thing i know is that his internals are quite dusty, but does that really effect the performance until this extend?
my friend is also using 1.5GB. seems quite ok to me, but he tells me that if open more than 3-4tabs on safari it'll start to lag. if i'm not mistaken safari is quite a ram hogger isn't it?

Tell him try Google Chrome, works like a charm

Bad point is doesn't support ActiveX

my P4 die already T_T
Northwood user 12....
so sads

Your P4 dusty make your proc throttle in speed? Suggest you to clean up your rig asap.

I think Safari isn't a very popular explorer for users. Firefox and Google Chrome / Plus versions works preety well with old school.

yo, i m back. news is i just replace a dead s478 mobo. replaced with SOLAR 865GV mobo. very tough to find s478 mobo nowadays. it costs me RM200 for mobo alone! some more the PSU is full with blown caps.

@shinjite and ray,
yeah will probably suggest to him to switch browsers and see if there's any difference. gotta ask him to clean up his rig too

@edmin,
you got it brand new? that amount could buy quite a decent 775 mobo already

yes, brand new mobo. got 3 choices for 478, which is 915, 865, and SiS. I took 865 due to AGP interface. 915 uses PCIE.

not sure wat KO... but mobo is quite new leh. Aih....
I actually wanna sell the GC for RM100... anybody wan??

Google Chrome currently is the fastest browser and is not a memory hogger like Firefox

No choice have to stick back unless let go the rest of the parts. Edmin,why are you still keeping the old school? Thought you have a new quad core?

The GC for RM100? That is tempting,sure your GC can be sold off very fast.

Thus delaying my upgrade to the dark side
I still can resist

Unfortunately nobody wants it. AGP users out there is so rare already.
Even if there is, dun think they will consider upgrading it already.

i'm interested in mobo if it's still working. been looking around, 478 mobo(4ram slots) so hard to find.

No more, everything went to the dustbin. The only thing left is the GC.

I have a question... What is the optimal CPU temperature of P4 3.0?

As per image, I used HWMonitor but it says there Diode 1, Diode 2 and Internal... Which one is actually my CPU's temperature?

Thanks in advance...

Most prolly 60 degrees is ur Processor
and the 41 degrees one is the motherboard

Optimal temparature... no idea

not mine, helping out a friend that's not willing to move on! i m still with my s775 quaddy, pushing it to the limits, lol. the connections/expansions on ond off the P35 mobo are fully utilised.

4x SATA = all used by 1Tb x4
2x IDE = 300GB PATA + DVDRW ROM
2x PCIE = Xfi + 260GTX
3xPCI = 1 PCI wifi card
6x USB = Keyboard, BT, 250GB USB external x2, XBOX360 joypad, SDHC card reader, 1 6-port USB hub.

Fully loaded, yo!
