no im not gonna ... so ill just buy the normal ram la ... thanks man

not to be bias between any brand, but the e5200 has better power management. in term of speed, i have no idea since cpu speed is irrelevant nowadays, save for those hardcore benchmark freaks


use these measuring devices:

http://www.ccrane.com/science/instruments/kill-a-watt.aspx

any idea if they do sell a watt measurement device at low yat?

Hm. Not that I'm an overclocker, but I just wanna know if one has the advantage over the other. Mind shedding some light over this..?

Been through some websites, but I'd want first hand comments, if possible.

ok this is a real noob question :

1) For driver update, should i download straight from the manufacturer's website ? ; or

2) download from the cd first, then download the update ; or

3) if i already installed a driver , should i remove the old driver and re-install with the new update.

4) should i install a beta version >?

5) i just downloaded asus xonar d2x driver. when i open the zip file there are setup icon and an XP folder (inside the XP folder another setup icon) so which setup to click la ?

Cheers to all help !!!

download from the website la thats what i do

ermm ... maybe that folder have installation guide ... i'll check later , in the meantime anyone else care to shed more lights to this noob ?

you download it from the website of company that make it. for example, asus board with amd chipset/integrated graphics etc. download it from amd/ati website. this is what i did. i hope i'm not wrong. lol..

3) Usually no. Just install the new one over the old one.

Usually the drivers that come with the hardware are outdated. You can choose to install these first and then install newer ones or just install the newer ones.

dude y didnt ask me.. kekeke
no dont install the one from the cd.
i had a hard time removing all traces of it.

download from the website.
if u try the one on the cd will crash on some games.

download and fresh install. and yes try the beta version.uninstall the previous one before u do this
and just click the setup button.

also told u many times..
so many jokers here dont even have the hardware and never even installed it before
they never learn
assumption is the mother of all f***ups. ( UnderSiege 2 )


talking more rubbish to collect some stars
