I just called up CZone and they said still have 2 units left but more stock might arrive today 4-5 units left @ lowyat branch.
I'm planing to drop by tomorrow.. don't you guys dare to buy from them before i get mine first!!

I am going there later to sapu all. You want? RM450. LOL.

Ehehe! i dah beli!
I was wondering why ASUS called it EAH5750 Formula
Now I know! They designed the fan like a sporty car / Formula F1 LOlz




Anyways, i will post 3DMark score before & after installing the card................ when i get the time to do it that is.. >_>
Stay tuned~

Congrats...we are in same group now...lol.

Thanks Matrix

Here's the 3DMarks06 benchmark result

Previously with 7600GS, I scored 2494
With ATI ASUS EAH5750, I got 7645 (7395 without HyperDrive enabled)

I also tried the FFXIV official benchmark software and scored 1895, which is also a significant improvement from previous 432 result

(eik! it IS Core2Duo 6400! >.<, i tot i made a typo.. oh well i'm turning old.. sudah nyanyuk aiyak!)

Nowhere close to other crazy scores with their uber expensive rig, but hey i think i'm pretty satisfied with the 4 times performance boost.. i only spent less than 400 bucks afterall XD
Not to mention i can play Settlers 7 on MAX setting on highest resolution supported by my monitor now with all special effects turned on whereas before this I can only play on lowest setting on lowest resolution with all effects turned off

Thank you all sifu for helping me out
Much appreciated!

Overclock that C2D to 2.8GHz and your 3D Mark score will jump to 10+++ ............

Serious?? How? Where to start learning about OC-ing my 6400?
any links?

woa the graphic looks like a f1 car very attractive.

I'm back with some questions!
I'm able to run at high setting but i think Starcraft 2 is such a great game that i must enjoy the campaign at its all glory ultra setting!

and referring to this article, Phenom II X2 seems like a good value for money..

So my question is, Is it worth it if i were to upgrade my processor to

PHENOM II X2 555 (RM 319)

which budget motherboard is recommended for it?
Any incompatibility with my other hardware / is my power supply good enough?

Tenkiu!

Get an e5400 and OC it to 4Ghz...cheap and good...

Hmm interesting.. but I'm no good at OC-ing besides i'd rather spend RM500 knowing it will last for another 2-3 years instead of wasting RM200 on the same C2D upgrade

No need to know anything. Set everything auto. Just set FSB to 333, memory speed to ur memory specs (etc: 800Mhz), and the clock multiplier to 12. That's it! ....but of course depends on ur mobo also....my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P mobo is great...OC very easy...no need to know any other parameters...LOL...Since u already on C2D, which model?? U probably just need a good cooler like a CM V6-GT.

If u upgrade, why don't choose the i3? It's better than the 955, slightly more expensive only...and can O/C to 4Ghz at least i think.

Which i3 cpu are u talking here? I never read a review b4 showing a 2c/4t i3 beating a 4c/4t 955 b4.. Are u sure ur not talking bout i5?

Opps...my mistake...typo...555 not 955.

According to the Starcraft 2 chart provided above, Starcraft 2 is so crap that it only know how to use 2 cores....frankly, not impressed...a brand new RTS released today should be able to use 4 cores at least.

Maybe i'll install tonight and test it out...hehe.

Yup, i was disappointed also, can't believe a game that i had waited for 12 years is optimized for only 2 cores
Other RTS like CoH & Supreme Commander released like 2 years ago already support more than 2 cores

i3 is a good processor with improper priced.
I recommend Athlon II x4 635 instead of i3.
Reason :
-> True 4 cores
-> Gaming performance is same with i3 but less bottlenecking on high end graphic card (i3 is just only to provide juice to HD5770)
-> Can pair with DDR2 mobo
-> LGA1156 is going to be replaced by LGA1155

Source to backup your claims??

Anyway, TS only wanna plays Starcraft. Quadcores not supported. And it don't need very high end GPU either....basically SC2 is a technically low-end requirement game that looks more like 2 years late in terms of technology.... But i do agree with the platform replacement...dunno what intel is thinking, the i series barely started and now wanna replace them......for that a vote to AMD for better platform keeping longevity...dunno if AMD has AM4 in the works or not though.

12 years?

my e8400 4.2ghz is good enough for SC2~

now waiting for diablo 3~ (dunno need to wait how long )

hmm maybe upgrading mobo + processor is not a good idea right now..
i mean, what if the expansion support more than 2 cores..
then this upgrade would look pretty pointless..
also, if i change my mobo, do i have to upgrade from ddr2 to ddr3 ram?

guess I should try overclocking my E6400 afterall..
found and printed out this guide: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/503808-i...verclock-e6400/ which seems pretty easy to understand..
how much is the CM V6-GT? i doubt that i know how to install it

also im planning to upgrade my ram to 4GB since its quite cheap nowdays.. as mentioned in the first page, currently im on 2x 1GB HyperX PC6400 DDR800 CL4-4-4 .. 2 more slot left.. so should i buy 2x1GB or just 1x2gb? which one i should go for and good for overclocking & compatible with my current RAM?

KINGSTON PC667 (1gb: RM68, 2gb: RM127)
KINGSTON PC800 (1gb: RM68, 2gb: RM127)
KINGSTON KHX8500D2K2 2GB (2gb: RM209)

im using windows xp sp3 btw..
Thank you so much for helping newbies like me!
