Going to buy Sempron 2800+ AM2 + Biostar 6100 AM2 + 512 Advance Module DDR533 RAM. Any comments on this spec (especially for Biostar 6100 AM2 )?

Avoid BIOSTAR 6100-AM2 if possible.... that board really sucks... I mean in term of overclocking. The BIOS option is very limited.

But if you're just planning to use it normally, then it should be okay.

I heard a lot Biostar value mobo got a many warranty return too...

yup...

it's not that wise to concentrate QC on enthusiasts model only (TForce)


...but even TForce 6100-AM2 bios sucks too .... and includes other nF4 based TForce AM2 as well (many found so).... different from the nF500 series

guys,
im building a pc for my bro...
can advise a little kaa???
not enuff time to do research.

Thanx.

Am2 most probably 2g<<<<<adviseable to get higher speed or oc a little kaa?
1gb ram
Biostar nf550
Enlight maybe 400w<<<<enuff kaa?
7300gt

just normal use......MAYBE oc cpu a little only heheheheh
think can play latest game kaaa???hehhehe

Thanx...alot.

I would say.... AM2 3000+, BIOSTAR TForce 550, 2x512MB Kingston 667, 7300GT DDR3 with Enlight 400W (atx 2.0) will do just fine. Definitely can play the latest game, but not full resolution with all the eye candy tuned up la.

I can play The Godfather (the first game i play with my current rig) with the same setup (with half ram size though) .... at 1024 x 768, all graphic options turned on/high, and anisotropic 3x & anti-aliasing at 4x ..... just smooth.

thanx lot bro..

im off getting the AM2 now ...

erm.. oc option quite good...
cpu voltage : 0.008v-1.750v
ddr2 : +0.1v,+0.2v,+0.3v (donno how they rate.. maybe base on ram v and add on ie:1.8+0.3)
fsb : 200-456
didn't see htt mul.. could be a prob..
got fire wire.. but nf4..

hehe... bought 3 of it, because budget user. no oc. it's rm260 only. really suits my friends budget pc. and most importantly with build in vga. lol

Hi guys need some feedback.

I using AM2 3500+ w/ Asus M2N-E mobo. New to O/C, so not sure whether I am doing it right.

My BIOS Setting:
FSB: 230
Multiplier: 11x
HTT: 4x
PCIE: 100 MHz
DRAM: 533 MHz
Cooling: Stock
Voltages: Default

Then in nvidia Monitor I see the result:
CPU: 2530MHz
HTT: 920MHz
RAM: 612MHz

I run SP2004 for 8 hours , no errors.
Temps: CPU Idle 39C Load: 54C
Mobo Idle 36C Load 44C

Is this correct way to O/C?

should be correct..
what ram timing? 4-4-4-11?
try 5-5-5-12 look can go further or not.. or just give more voltage..

I think timing was 4-4-4-12 then got one 17, and 2T setting (gotta check when I get home)

I wanted to change that but not sure how. Also I dunno current memory voltage, so is risky to up the setting... need to read up on RAM O/C.

CPU is quite hot though, but I see so few AM2 coolers around...

at 2.6ghz @ 1.4v, my cpu is at around 50'C-51'C

maybe your ambient temperature is slightly higher, thus contributing to slightly hotter cpu

otherwise put ram as 400 and increase the fsb/vcore more..
ram setting can be changed at cpu setting
not jumper free menu..

guys...

What about MSI K9n Ultra???ok or not????
maybe scrap to get biostar frm fantasy kenny...due to hehehe my confidence level lah....

any where else to get biostar in lyp???

platinum is ok.. not sure about ultra.. but neo lack of vcore adjustment if not mistaken... though vdimm 2.2v

You can get it from ATE shop.
