i just got a new 2gb dimm and i put it in my pc,the thing is,i can't boot into windows normally but i have to run memory diagnostics,cancel it and then i can boot.

this only happens when i pair the 2gb dimm with my old 1gb dimm from kingston,
the old ram ddr2 667 1gb kingston
the new ramddr2 800 2gb apacer

i adjusted the speed and timing for the rams to match each other already

now i'm running them at 5 6 6 18.the pc can boot fine now

but,i'm getting artifacts in cod5,but not cod4,crysis warhead

@chokudori,you don't need a gtx295 or hd4870x2 for 1080p.seeing that another round of ati vs nvidia graphics war will start soon,buying a high end card right now would be wasting your money.why?because new gen dx11 cards will be sold less than a month from now [hd5870].

that said,i recommend getting a gtx260+ for rm570.it's powerful enough to run nearly all games on max at 1080p barring crysis of course,smoothly.

yeah,use it as a temporary gc,you'll regret later if you buy gtx285\4870x2 now

they is 0-5% diff and that's not because of the board but the rams [ddr2 vs ddr3].so,no worries

you can but it's very expensive and hard to do it in malaysia

everything you have in your computer casing,and you budget too

cpuz won't tell us your psu aka powersupply.what psu do you use?is it the one that came with the casing?

your budget?
what do you use your pc for?want new casing?

no budget restraints eh?

i7 860 RM1100+-
MSI P55 GD65 RM630
4GB DDR3 RAM RM280
Saphire 5850 1GB RM950+-
WD Black 1TB RM355
Pioneer DVDRW RM95
Xigmatek 650W RM370
Coolermaster HAF922 RM360
Viewsonic 24" VX2433WM RM730
RM4870


Intel i7 920 d0 RM1040
MSI X58 Pro-E RM690
Kingston KVR DDR3 2GBx3 RM450
Saphire 5870 1GB RM1490
WD Black 1TB RM355

Xigmatek 650W RM370
Coolermaster HAF922 RM360
Viewsonic 24" VX2433WM RM730
rm5580

the hd5870 is a new card,dx11 in fact.that's why ati sells it expensive eventhough they can sell it cheap like the hd5850's price if they need to.other than that is the fastest single gpu card in the world

take the hd5850 rm950,it's better than a rm1300 gtx285

upgrade options for that build are wide open,you can add another hd5850,add more rams,swap for a 6core core i9 when it's available etc

you just need to have the cash for it [and it seems like you have lots of it]

actually it does if you intend to oc the 920 heavily [like more than 4ghz].but,if you're only intending for 3.5ghz+-,the normal rams would do fine

most of us upgrade our pc too.but only a few of us have i7 pc.i only use pentium dual core and hd4850 [no money,still a high schooler]

i'm very happy with my pc already.i'm having loads of fun playing games on this pc.

anyways,zeckt,the hd5850 are still not sold yet.you have to wait about 2 weeks for it to become available here

prices should stabilize then.but,you do know how to assemble the pc right?if you don't the shop which you buy the pc from can assmeble it for you.[most of the time it's f.o.c but sometimes you have to pay a small amount]

Added on September 28, 2009, 7:15 pm@boxsystem,imo,just use the board.you can get hd5850 for rm950 with that budget and psu,it's faster than a gtx285.

or you could get sell your e6600,get faster cpu and a gtx275 [rm760] or a mid range,yet to be launched hd5000 cards [juniper]

how could you actually burn your cpu?if it is too hot it'll throttle down or shut down.it ain't gonna burn just from oc.the same goes for the board

Added on September 28, 2009, 7:22 pmhow about hd4850?costs rm365 only yet can play most games max on 1440x900.

you shouldn't worry then,the kvr 1333mhz will do fine even for 4ghz oc
