Hei guys,

QUOTE(amduser @ Jan 23 2008, 06:51 PM) wow....graphic card RIP u very happy Hehehe... Got a GOOD reason to BUY a new one ma...  wat's ur budget first? i think 8600GT can ply C&C3 with descent performance i think, price is about 350-400   I would like to know, whether can my m/board (MS-7142) support and fully utilize the PCI gc? I have been using AGP since day 1. And, my gawd, there more PCI gc out there compare to AGP.  Najmods mention to choose the higher bit rate and the faster speed with less memory. But, there are so many brands out there, got Asus, Gigabyte, Sapphire, MSI, etc. Which brand is preferred for gaming?  My budget is around RM 500. Thanx in advance again. |

Sifu...
I got another noob question.... I was thinking of upgrading my processor since i am getting a new gc... I notice most shops selling AMD Athlon X2 processors. Can my m/board support it? According to this website, it didn't mention anything about 'X2' in it... Just wanna confirm, can i use that...? |

Sifus...
I got a big problem... Some of u might remember that i have the intention to get a new GC... I didn't get myself a Geforce gc but an ATI gc. (last minute shopping in Pyramid, only can find ATI gc) Anyway, i got myself a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro gc. Once i installed it in the computer, everything runs BUT, it hangs often. It even hangs when i set a higher resolutions! I even tested it with a game Fate/Stay night and it hanged in 20 seconds after running the game. Oh, it even lags when i scroll down the webpage. So, erm, did i buy a wrong gc for my pc?? Please advise. FYI, this is my mobo. Thanx in advance... |
