dlwl,letting go your last piece of P4? Recently this thread is totally silent as nobody has new info to update. Meanwhile wish "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to the people who celebrates CNY.

dlwl,thanks for your greeting. I am sure that once people move to newer tech, they will not going to use the old school system again as the performance gain is quite a huge gap.

yea. I'm selling laptops with i5 in it and IT WAS SO GOD DAMN TEMPTING!!!!!

Anyway, I spring cleaned my rig before CNY and I think I forgot to put thermal paste on the CPU (The last time I checked, it was completely dried out). Anyone can recommend me a good one?
*
i5 labtop is damn cheap also....below RM3k also can get already... drool.gif It is better to replace your thermal paste once a year if you use your pc frequently. Can get any brad like Artic Silver and Artic Cooling ...

Finally upgraded my old P4 rig to 4GB RAMs~~
Just wanna fill up the remaining 2 slots in my mobo

32bit OS, 3.62GB usable out of 4GB wink.gif
*
4GB of RAM... drool.gif 32 bits OS can only detect 3.2GB max i think. The rest of the RAM would be invisible to the OS. Nice filled up on the dummy slots.

Mine can use up to 3711 MB usable, hence the 3.62GB
Higher than the 3.2GB expected tongue.gif

This is not bad...But question is how are we going to use the RAM until 3GB there? I disable the virtual memory during gaming also cannot reach there.

Memtest for Windows, most of the RAM gone tongue.gif
*
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.

QUOTE(dlwl @ Mar 17 2010, 01:08 PM)
guys, those who are using windows 7 now, what's your rating for the processor?
my friend's P4 3.0 only got 1.8 for processor rating sad.gif

the rest of the scores are ok, around 3+. it couldn't be that bad rite?
*
I think this is a bit low.Refer to my post previously.

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

QUOTE(shinjite @ Mar 18 2010, 11:32 AM)
Tell him try Google Chrome, works like a charm

Bad point is doesn't support ActiveX
*
I think Safari isn't a very popular explorer for users. Firefox and Google Chrome / Plus versions works preety well with old school.

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.

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.

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!  doh.gif

i think your proc can fetch quite a good price, 3.4GHz P4 is quite a rare one isn't it?
and yeah, ddr1 rams are expensive now, less demand in the market now.

that's why most users are switching platforms already wink.gif

3.4GHz proc is rare,nice item there.

If pee4 can run vista, win7 should be okay. Just need to find working drivers for printers and webcams.

Btw, me is thinking of turning me 3.2 HT into HTPC. Not ready to decomission my pea4 into useless metal. blush.gif

P4 3.2GHz is still having enough power to serve as HTPC .....But beware of those 1080p HD videos playback,they are going to torture the processor. tongue.gif
