yeah, even with websites that have heavy flash content, it lags. sometimes on facebook it lags too

what edmin meant is there's a song on radio, by a group called boys like girls, featuring another artist, taylor swift.

the title 2 is better than 1, also fits the pentium D > pentium 4 thing

guys i'm selling off my P4 Northwood 2.0GHz+mobo+512MB sdram. any takers?

just thought that i ask here before i post it up on garage sales

yup, already not using it. sitting in my cupboard since i upgraded. might as well let it go to those who might need it
i guess everyone's moving on to newer tech already, even i myself havent been in this thread for quite some time
Gong Xi Fa Cai to you too raymond, and also the rest who are celebrating

Tuniq TX2 or tx3 maybe? they're quite cheap also

i have, but mine a bit ancient one. use sdram
interested?

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

the rest of the scores are ok, around 3+. it couldn't be that bad rite?

@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?

@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

agreed with ray...hahaha
havent even tried loading up my mobo with so much stuff

what do you store with 4tb+ of hdd space?

you mean this model?
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/...lID=530&LanID=0

if it yes, then yes it can support sata hdd. but only sata I though, just 1.5Gbps speed. Newer mobos have sata II.

yes you can use it, but the speed will drop down to 1.5Gbps, coz if not mistaken that hdd is sata II. don't worry, shouldn't be a major problem. the 3.5 means the size of the hdd, 3.5inches. notebook ones are 2.5inches btw

maybe you can search at the garage sales if you wanna look for 2nd hand. if for new ones you have to hunt around abit, they're hard to find nowadays. maybe you can try asking edmin here, he just got one not long ago

you're welcome

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

my friend is thinking of changing his graphic card, and he's trying to minimize the budget for his upgrade. thinking of going for 3850 AGP, anyone here using it? and does he need to upgrade his PSU too? using the stock one from dell.

current specs are 3.0HT, 1.5GB ram.

there's bound to be bottleneck with p4 proc, rite?
it's either upgrade the gc, or maybe get a mobo with pci-and ddr2. i think with pci-e gc the bottleneck problem would be worse.

i saw one x1950gt at garage sales too. how does it perform? what pci-e gc does it compare to?
my friend wants to play PES2010 with medium/high settings.

thanks for the link. what specs do you use together with this card? what are the power requirements? can it be used to watch HD videos?

probably they have had most of the bugs, if not all, rectified from the RC version before they released the final version

yes, using for quite long already
Will migrate my other home PC to Win 7 soon also, currently still on XP.

if they're old, maybe you should go for the microsoft set yourself instead
you can use for your htpc rig
my friends are using microsoft wireless products too, and the battery life lasts quite a long time. about 3-4 months. what model are they selling in the promotion?
