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

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

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.
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 tongue.gif
coz this x300se is the super low end in pci-e gc family laugh.gif

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

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..!! shakehead.gif

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

I don't think there's any price drop for RAM or CPU during PC Fair... for other stuffs, maybe.

Anyway... DFI UltraII-M2.... fantasy_kenny is selling them at RM435. Dunno about shops.

Your choice is quite okay... but I would rather get Kingston or Corsair based DDR2 instead of Mushkin because the price is not that attractive.... unless you're talking about Mushkin XP-series
*
but viewnet sell Mushkin 512MB 667 around RM180 i think, just add RM5 from corsair.. wonder which one is better... rclxub.gif

Get Kingston ... RM165 only.

to me... RM15 means a lot... dunno about you lah.

actually dunno about mushkin, izzit worth for brand or money.. thats why i'm asking sweat.gif
if the performance really good, for me its worth spending on it.. but if just lil bit.. then go for kingston tongue.gif

dont hav money oso laa bro.. tongue.gif only spending money for 2nd hand ram laugh.gif

okeyh.. just wanna ask..!!

i just got my ram 2x512MB samsung..

one is single sided n another one is double sided..!!

using Biostar TForce 550
the board has 4 Dimm Slot
from the manual i read, it said the system will run dual channel if put the ram in:

Dimm 1 + Dimm 2
Dimm 3 + Dimm 4
Dimm 1 + Dimm 2 + Dimm 3 + Dimm 4

wat i wanna ask is, whether i put it in dimm 1 + dimm 2 or dimm 3 + dimm 4, it still running single channel.. izzit bcoz of ram?? sweat.gif

i think it's because the modules do not have equal chips, that's why it's running single channel. it's not like socket A where you can actually mix any capacity of ram because it's not 'true-dual channel'.
*
yeah. i think so.. my old socket A run dual channel with kingston n apacer ram cool.gif

Know any one who has stock 7900GT and runs FEAR and/or Oblivion at high settings and high res for long hours w/o encountering errors?

How well does Tforce550 support overclocking of X2? camedemac, if you see this and is doing oc, do tell.

Picture tells everything dude

Attached Image

with better multitasking (YM!, Windows media player, internet, download, etc) without any prob..!!

OC Speed = 240x10 = 2400 MHz
VCore = 1.328v
Ram = 512MB Samsung DDR2 533 oc to DDR 600
Vdimm = 2.1v
Bios = Latest bios download from biostar site

All i can say, my system rite now is rock solid stable thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Edited : Forgot to tell doh.gif do multitasking while priming my proc.. as stated at picture..!! whistling.gif

while using cpu-z (ver 1.35) wrongly report the vcore.. use asus probe should be correct i think.. but for ur case better look on vcore2 temp at speedfan..
i've tried mine untill 2.45ghz.. then stop coz afraid reaching out 1.6v..
acreasing 2.4 to 2.45 will increase the temp merely 60C on load..
2.4 seems fast enough for me.. just playing 2.1ghz for all in stock.. accept tight the ram..
how far can your proc go?
*
i believe that the vcore is correct coz check with all software (cpuz, speedfan, amd software, etc) all give the same vcore..

i never try oc higher coz scared when looking at temperature sweat.gif

i thought the vcore2 is the chipset voltage.

my board is biostar sweat.gif not asus

if u look my screenshot here..
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=316293&st=80

i really cannot rely on cpu-z.. i saw alot of cpu-z reading errors especially on vcore... donno which one can rely.. but i looked asus probe coz same as bios..

just precaution though if ur correct vcore reading higher than u thought/saw... it could fry ur proc..
*
hmm... unsure.gif
i donnu about this oso.. sweat.gif

coz my majority i look at bios, cpuz, other software, around plus minus 1.32v sweat.gif

waiting for update bios..!!

anyway, whats ur proc stepping?? unsure.gif
