change processor need to reformat ?

to have stabilty, it is advisable to reformat ur pc after changing the processor.

btw guys, my noob question is:
is it OK to run Vista Ultimate by using only 2GB 800MHz memory? or i have to upgrade to 4GB?
Im more on gaming, t3h Internet, Burning CDs/DVDs, Watching Movie, Photo Editing.

i m using win ultimate 32 bit with 2gb ram with old skool single core =.= wan upgrade to x2 ...

it is enough for me ..

vista with 2gb ram, ngam ngam only, better upgrade to 4gb

^ i'm even using 1GB right now. but not safe for gaming lah. check my siggy.

bro.. can Silverstone ST56F handle GTX260+ gc? or need to get more power PSU..

no. if you only change the CPU, u don't have to. even if you change the whole computer, u can still use your old windows installation perfectly


ram are too cheap. upgrade now and be happy

with vista, more memory is always better. but be reminded, vista 32bit can only address 3.5gb. if you need more than that (god knows why), then switch to 64bit vista

do you guys think that the Asus eco friendly mobo thingy really saves energy (consume less power)? or is it just a marketing gimmick?

im using crucial ballistix. to upgrade to 4GB is not cheap. dats why. if using normal one, i dun mind. so, is it stable to juice up vista with 2GB ram? how about the performance?

sell to me la your crucial ballistix..heehehehehe

lol. no money to buy a new one.
just wanna trade with 4gb crucial ballistix non tracer plus i topup.

anyway, i will try to run vista with 2GB 1st...

2gb with vista is ok bro.. no problem dun worry.. i used to run with 2g on ultimate before obtaining another 2gb.. the perfomance is gud enough with 2gb.. wan even better of course opt for 4g lor..

may i know where can get the power switch wired?thx for answering

ST560 enough for GX260 single card.

if GX 260 SLI u need about odin pro 800w.

oo.. so if play game like nfs:undercover, COD5, no problem ah?

105% no problem. If you got do graphic designing and 3D rendering, then u need lotsa ram.

Guys, what motherboard that has wifi built-in under rm300?I don't care which brand. List them all with links if possible. Thanks

err, i have a question. but hope you guys will answer it.

my current rig:my rig:
intel e8400
mobo asus p5q pro
kingston 2Ghz 800Mhz + 1Ghz 800MHz
wd 320 hdd
casing: still need opinions from lyn members wink.gif
19' samsung 933BW
LG writer
psu 550 watt true power

i'm planning to do crossfire by using sapphire hd 3850. is it worth to do that??
some more, my mobo asus cannot install in my casing powerlogic futura 220. what should i do now??? doh.gif
i feel sad because forgot to ask the sales person about the casing requirement to install this mobo. help me people.
in the future, should i go with hd4870*2 or HD4850*2?

not worth to cf 3850. Just get a 4870. Casing is not a factor when installing hardware just mind your cooling system. It is important to have intake fan & exhaust fan. go to 4870x2 or 4850x2 is depends on your budget and your need, just get them according to your nid and budget,

don't need to go for HD 4870*2 CF or HD 4850*2 CF.

your 19" monitor will not gain the full benefits of HD 4870 what else CF.
HD 4850 would just be nice enough.

and if you still have $$ to waste and make it CF, make sure u change ur PSU too.
