Haha.. Not really eh! If assign 512mb ram to each VM, 4 VM will almost hogged the resource. Plus some other apps running on host pc.

Anyways, not much different for CL2 and CL 2.5 unless ur doing OC. Super PI quite depend on ram CL.

@ac_N1
Black pearl? Sold off separately but until i still use the 4Ghz core (processor) once awhile. I sold it to a one of my best fren who really take good care of it. Somehow went to that fren house to dig anime and sure play with it.

I changed is due my HDD were all SATA and 1 of my onboard sata connector dead. So no point to hunt for mid range S478 mobo which is almost the same price as CD mobo.

LOL.. RA3!! Go go go! But then... Still the same no $$ for buy original.. Torrent for it.

Haha... Same here ray, i play since RA2 until now. Almost every released sure get it on hand. Nevertheless for RA3. What to do.. No $$ then make use with out Screamyx lo.. Haha!

Btw, my P4 at office just kaput. Duno what's going on.. Changed new PSU + AVR the hang problem still occurred. The morning even worse, cant even log into windows. Did some experience, the system seems to hanged once after 30secs. Tried without HDD boot into bios also will hang. Guess is the mobo giving problem. So bad.. Now i gotta use a AMD K6 466 + 384mb rigs as backup. The P4 ben sent into hospital.

Haha.. Remind me the old time when im on open case cap ayam casing. Just too lazy to do house keeping.

Lol.. Its been 4 months since my last house keeping. Guess this Sat need to take down my system for maintenance.

Bad day i have.. AMD K6 466 + 384mb SDRAM really kill my interest on surfing.. It lag like hell.. Not the ram nor HDD problem but the processor.

Take off all, and wipe/vaccum part by part. So that when re-assemble in the casing, the part are shine. Usually take me 2-3hrs for a maintenance thou. Clean of thermal paste, replace in the new 1. Do cable management and so on. Hardest part to clean will be PSU that come with fan. Usually quality PSU comes with atleast 2-3years warranty so cannot take off the case. Just use brush/vaccum to clean off the dusk on fan.


P/s: On the meantime, clean the computer table as well.

Did u "rube" the ram stick? XXX spotted! Hahaha.. Jk!

Well, usually i did full maintenance including change the thermal paste and resitting the cable. Even the HDD also need to wipe so it looks shine.

Perl? I suppose to be 865 chip set right? Haha.. That guy do quite well in OC.. But provided the it comes with good bios where allow more tweaking.

Huh... Im pointing that PERL is good for OC le.. Hahaha...

Haha... Thats true. Even new rigs, i also dont have the interest to OC anymore. Doesn't worth to squeeze few % of boost but risk the components.

Lol.. Yea! Back to stock and decorate the casing. Blink blink + CCLF! Just to make the whole system looks nicer thats all.

LOL! Torrenting it already. Suppose 2mrw will finish.. Around 6.5GB files. 15hrs count down.. Yet see check the requirement for the game but i think old school with low end EQs will having serious case to run that game.

Hahahahah.. Quite for the month! Yea! Agreed with that.. Like me, after my P4 dead... And i start to say bye bye and step out from OC world. Just keep everything in stock.

Hahaha... For my line, around 10hrs will do as the speed is constant at 170-180kbps on torrenting.

Torrent at night time will be good ma.. U wife not going to online 24hrs dont it? Haha..

@FunkyRider
Contribute ur 1st post to this thread? Haha.. Anyways, nice system u got there. Especially the Gallatin.. 2MB L3 Cache.. Nice mobo as well. Keep the S478 stay for another few more years with the enhancement of DDR2 & PCIE.

@pengster
No eye candy for the game liao if all set to low.

Oh yea.. Thast my current D/L speed with 1MB line.

Calling S478 fella... Here comes another good deal.

Phew.. Take down a half day time for rearrange the cable management and rigs cleaning.

Btw guys, did some benchies with SATA drive with IDE mode and AHCI. Result is like IDE mode, the SATA HDD seems like more responsive where in AHCI it werent that responsive.

And also, for file transfer the speed on AHCI is seems faster then IDE.. Seems like both mode has their own pro and cons.

Not really.. Pro and cons.. If u multi task quite often, AHCI will be the best choice as the HDD has better reading/writing sequence. Haha.. Switch back mine to AHCI now.
