Re-edit: Didn't see Samsung 2x512MB DDR2 533Mhz (incoming) really have a tight budget.. only can afford 533MHz oni for me, its worth upgrading from my old system la bro..!! googling around and its a really big jump of upgrading |

QUOTE(vey99 @ Aug 5 2006, 12:17 PM) From the current trend ppl are getting : same spec with me except my X300Se and DDR 533(incoming) 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. planning to get 7300GT, coz it is low budget but performance also not bad This post has been edited by camedemac: Aug 5 2006, 12:51 PM |

QUOTE(vey99 @ Aug 5 2006, 12:51 PM) 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 coz this x300se is the super low end in pci-e gc family This post has been edited by camedemac: Aug 5 2006, 02:39 PM |

QUOTE(ikan_semilang @ Aug 5 2006, 03:34 PM) 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.. |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Aug 5 2006, 11:25 PM) I don't think there's any price drop for RAM or CPU during PC Fair... for other stuffs, maybe. but viewnet sell Mushkin 512MB 667 around RM180 i think, just add RM5 from corsair.. wonder which one is better... 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 |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Aug 6 2006, 07:36 PM) 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 QUOTE(ikan_semilang @ Aug 6 2006, 09:31 PM) what a desperate desparado |

QUOTE(8tvt @ Aug 9 2006, 02:42 PM) 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 believe that the vcore is correct coz check with all software (cpuz, speedfan, amd software, etc) all give the same vcore..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 never try oc higher coz scared when looking at temperature i thought the vcore2 is the chipset voltage. my board is biostar This post has been edited by camedemac: Aug 9 2006, 03:11 PM |
