hopefully can be settled with by uninstalling CCC and installing plain drivers only. if not might trade it up for a nvidia card instead. enough of problems with ati cards.

@ray,
yeah, 19" lcds are freaking cheap nowadays. even LG 19" can get for below RM499.

Usually how you guys clean up the insides of the system? take out everything and wipe part by part? or do you use some blower or some sort to get the dust out?

so basically both are almost the same? i thought of switching mine to AHCI mode. now still running IDE mode.

zzz...feel lost here now that it's becoming a ram discussion. dunno much about timing and stuff like that. anyway, cod5 is out..any chance of P4 running it? from what i read minimum requirement for GC is 6600GT.

yeah. din read much in this thread this 2 weeks coz of exams. now see, so much technical ram stuff.
it's call of duty series. WWII based FPS. only the cod4 has been modern background. now 5th one is back to old world war days. definately one of the best WWII fps around.

i think 3.2GHz should be ok already. yeah, as raymond said, the gpu plays a bigger part in the game.

i installed RA3 already but not yet start playing. just play a lil bit of the tutorial. the units look more like toys..quite gay leh..dunno about other units in the game..

i couldn't wait for the foc downloading, so i got the rm10 version instead
but slightly complicated if wanna play. need to disable some things...

1 day?!?! how fast was your download speed?

yeah, anything above that is sort of overpriced already.

i used vista dual boot with xp too, that time just wanna see how vista looks and how it performs. tested some apps and games, then deleted it already. reverted back to xp sp3. as edmin said, lot of bloatware, takes up resources, and the UAC annoys me...xp sp2/sp3 still serves me well

wanted to try on my P4, my lil bro scared lag, dare not try..
will experiment with it if got a chance..

The latest of the need for speed series. Called undercover. this time play as a undercover cop, racing in the streets.

i saw one few weeks ago in the garage sales. asrock brand. don't know whether still available or not. just checkout there and see..

if looking for new one as far as i know only asrock, biostar and ECS produce boards like this, not too sure what models are they. i think someone here has mentioned it also last time.

that's gonna be a serious bottleneck if you use hd4850 with the prescott. well, whatever gc you pair with your p4 now is gonna be bottleneck anyway
since your budget is just rm300-400, why don't you go for 9500GT/9600GSO/9600GT?

looking at the settings on astria's lappie, perhaps a 2nd hand 8600GT/GTS might be ok too..then can save some money for your next upgrade...hehe

standard price should be around RM150-RM180..but definately less than RM200 already. even when i sold mine few months ago i sold it below RM200.

cant wait for pc fair next weekend at kl. wonder what good deals they have for lcds. hoping to get one

it's quite impossible to find new chipsets with socket 478 already nowadays coz 478 already phased out quite some time ago. older chipsets like the VIA or SIS chipset might still have.

astria, how does windows 7 run on your p4? smooth?

how about drivers and software? just use vista drivers?
any major problems?
