Decided to build a new AMD system. My old rig=total trash!

*AMD X2 4400+ (RM850-Cycom) <----Is this price-tag true? Other shop sell for 1K+
*Any bang-for-bucks MSI/GB/ASUS 570U chipset motherboard
*1GB 667Mhz
*MSI NX7600GT-VT2D256E-HD (RM685-TMatch) <----Is this real too? VIVO card btw.



Also plan to do a SLI system. What's your fellow ppl's view? I'm not that hardcore gamer at all facing the screen 24/7. But I want to try out Advance Warfighter.

I suggest you get Enermax since you overclock ... the FMA series Enermax offers good value/performance compare to other brand within the same level. The 7600GT might consume not as much power as high end cards, but who knows the current it draws from the PSU.

AM2 4400+ is RM910 in CYCOM pricelist. The one u saw selling for RM850 is S939.

570U mobo... I recommend ASUS M2N-E

RAM .... I suggest 1GB 667 from Corsair (look for the dark colour PCB, in the garage section Ash has some.

SLI is a waste if you don't really do much gaming. Just go for a single high performance card.

From the current trend ppl are getting :
CPU: AMD X2 3800+ // Mobo: Biostar TF550 // RAM : 1GB 667 // GC: Winfast or XFX 7600GT
I suppose such spec is value+ performance. Advance Warfighter will run at max setting if your GC's ram is 512 and above. But my single 7600GT runs the game smoothly enough.

I got CM Extreme Power 380W, I though should cope with this ... maybe I run the CPU at stock to see whats the result. Should the voltage be somewhere like 10+ instead of 11.3V? Thanks..

Actually does processor cache gives a big impact or not? Like comparing between Pentium D 930 & AM2 X2 4400+

Will it show a big gap of performance difference?

same spec with me except my X300Se and DDR 533(incoming)

planning to get 7300GT, coz it is low budget but performance also not bad

Thats the hot GC now but depends on what game, like I play Oblivion/GRAW/FEAR, turns out these games need higher power GC so I end up wif 7600GT.

You can compare here:

and see that the 4400+ is better but for that price you should be comparing wif the 950 ... or C2D ...

AMD AM2 3000+ | GIGABYTE GA-M55PLUS-S3G | Kingston DDR2-533 | stock AMD cooler

@soulfly add me into the clan too

not a gamer.. just play racing games oni like nfs u/g 1,2 n most wanted..
wanna upgrade coz want to see higher benchmark from my old gc oni

My hand itchy already. Maybe in 1-2 days will looking at Low Yat Plaza and join ur league.

at last, bro ikan join the club..!!
not only ur hand, but ur eyes n mind also cannot tahan already

Darn.... I'm tempted to get the DFI Infinity M2 mobo

2.5v max Vdimm is sweet!

any sign of OCZ want to produce DDR2 Booster??

Most shop at Low Yat just sell it at bundle with mobo. Need waiting more stock coming.

Grab it la. Just fantasy_kenny and johnny loo have sell this mobo. How to u want juiced ur Micron?

yeah.. my case (at viewnet) first ly i only ask about the proc.. than the seller seems like blur-blur and said want to check the stock first (but it seems like he 'malas' want to check the stock) then i said wanna bundle with mobo, then he quickly check the stock with the computer there and said 'ya, ada stock'.. after that, he take the proc under the rack there.. 'they 'sorok' the stock only..!!

i think they r not shortage stock but they will sell if u buy bundle with mobo..

finally..my amd system is in..

Orleans 3200+
TForce 550
Mushkin 512MB DDR667
AMD stock cooling

bro soulfly..plz add me to the list will ya?

fuuh.. mushkin.. what chip use on it??

I saw today pricelist from hardwarezone, it seems Viewnet have Mushkin ram is RM420 for DDR800. Is it worth getting that one? Two sticks of 512 @RM230 each?

If it's Mushkin's value, I think it's Aeneon... not too sure, but high probability

which Mushkin series?
