rm400??


hd 5750 is best buy now coz price just dropped RM100 from previous RM500!

ASUS Formula 5750 1GB - RM 399. Bought at C-ZONE yesterday in Digital Mall.

I think GPU companies has started to dropped their prices in anticipation of the GTX-460 onslaught.

Better grab while u can...coz some places like ALL IT has run out of stock. According to the CZONE dude, ASUS having promotion. I see other 1GB 5750 still expensive...Gigabyte still selling at RM510.

I wouldn't recommend 4850...1GB 5750 performs better than 4850...and use less power, cooler and physically smaller. I sold my 4850 a week or two ago...

Try CZONE at Digital Mall, i think still have. ALL IT habis liao.....ASUS wanna clear stock b4 price drop...I think price drop for 5750/5770 is very soon oready, so ASUS clear it off b4 the rest follow.... Lowyat i dunno, didn't go there very long time. Very jam. dun wanna go.

U are not from KL/Selangor? I think other towns won't find this cheap price usually...maybe only after a general official price drop then it'll reach other places later.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

CM V6-GT..retails for RM230 at C-ZONE...but i got discount ....RM215. LOL.

It's very easy to install, it is compatible with socket 775, AM3 and the intel i series. So you can re-use it next time u upgrade. For socket 775 very easy, but you need to take out ur mobo first. Generally:
(1) Take out mobo from casing.
(2) Take out the 2 fans from the heatsink (clip on only, no screws needed!) But take note of the direction of the fans for the airflow.
(3) Put the 775 backplate under the mobo.
(4) Put the 2 pieces of top plate on top of the mobo.
(5) Use the 4 screws and screw from bottom to up. So backplate holds the two pieces of top plate.
(6) Put mobo back to casing. Apply silicon gel to heatsink.
(7) Put middle plate (whatever u call it) across the bottom of heatsink connector and hold it to the top plates previously.
(8) Screw it in using a provided nut..the screw is very easy to use...has springs to prevent overscrew.
(9) Snap in the two fans (make sure airflow direction is correct).
(10) Connect the two fan cables together (cables provided) so they both can go into a single CPU fan header on the mobo.
(11) Connect the lights cable to a 4 pin power molex (this is only for the lights... )

May sounds complicated, but quite easy actually, hardest part is (5) when u need to hold the backplate and align with the top plate to screw in the top plates holder. After that, it's a breeze.
Oh IMPORTANT: Make sure you connect any cables around the CPU area...like the 4 pin/12v power plug first before installing the cooler (b4 step (7) ). otherwise, you'll have very little space to put your finger around anywhere there...this thing is gigantic!!!


2GB is enough, my advise is don't go with different kind of RAMs if u intend to OC might cause a lot of problems.
