chassis is the PC case body. SECC is coated steel (besi)
bezel is the front face. metal mesh you know, ABS is some kind of plastic.

aluminium, the thickness is important (for rigidity and noise insulation).
Cooler Master casings are great value for the look & quality.
just see what you like and take up to individual.

think this way:
Intel=brand. Pentium3=series, Pentium4=series, Core=series, Core2=series.
Solo=type, Duo=type, Quad=type. E5200=model, E8400=model, Q6600=model. clear?
so far Intel make new age "Pentium" series remain 800FSB and maximum of 2MB L2 cache (and they perform pretty much like old P4 machine).
while "Core2" series have everything bigger number than those.


Intel already have 64bit support for consumer PCs since P4 era with EM64T.
however, after the NetBurst (P4 architecture) failed, they remake a new line /series called Core (1st generation, now is Core2).
i don't know what happened, they did not include EM64T for Core Solo /Duo that time.
right now, Core2 (2nd generation) supports EM64T able to run 64bit Operating Systems.


thx for your link, bring moar question than answer!!

speed & price

it's a second hard disk controller, from Marvell chip.
don't use = don't install driver. you can disable this controller from BIOS too.

temperature: yes, provided you increased the CPU clockspeed (same multiplier).
warranty: not always, but stock vcore is the safer way before upgrading stock cooler.

those 8 pin are for special functions, eg. put jumper to limit SATA 1.5Gb/s speed.
so relax man, urdoinitrite

@mushy: it still supply 12V yellow and 5V red and 3.3V orange.

@fubu: yes i tried before, running fine no problem.

no, u change gender back to male also won't help

my Qs:
what is low level format?
got such thing as "high level format" ?

use chkdsk /r

that is earth leakage not electrostatic people here often use the wrong term.

electrostatic case: you don't feel shock the 2nd time you touch it.
the electron flow from your body to component or terbalik will be balanced very quickly.

your case: certain PC components or monitor use casing body as "return route" to complete the electric circuit.
Earth wire job is to collect back "those electric" and lead to ground to but it was disconnected somewhere.
the electric remain there until you touch it *PPZZZZ* and flow to ground.
this explained why you leg is not hurt because you're not touching floor.

check the connection of green /yellow (Earth) wire inside power cable, plug top, extension sockets and wall socket of PC and monitor.
if you're unsure please consult electrician and TNB.

what a kalerfull post

@vunvunangle: yes that simple & straight forward.
@mushy: modern onboard graphics are cool~
since AMD/ATi 6-series chipset based mobo have VGA+DVI.
his mobo is 790GP even has HDMI output.

theorically, yes depend on cable.
100metres for CAT5/5e cable support 10 /100 /1000(5e only) mbps
any longer you need a repeater for digital signal (modem--PC).
phoneline is much longer i think, ask TM for answer.

you can get it in PC hardware store. find those specialized in networking products so they can help you moar.
PS: certain router got repeater function.

n00b questions are welcomed here
GPU graphic processing unit - GPU is the chip it self graphic card is the card with pcb and the chip and all those memory stuff etc. just like CPU is the chip only, motherboard is not included.
another name for graphic card, 3D accerelation card, display card.
do the 2D & 3D jobs and display out in monitor.

overclock - set your watch faster 5min=OVERCLOCK!!1

@danny: this one for you http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/960354

@danny: buy as you like, or leave it alone unless you really out of memory need that extra 1GB.


your PC got USB? get a external hard drive kit.

SATA is Serial ATA where usually Serial in computing means one-to-one.
easy solution you can get PCI slot "SATA" card.
hard solution UGPM.

@ac_N1: warranty cover manufacturing defects, provided the chip dieded on itself.

@wengX88: trilinear for better quality.

of coz lai come swap with ur X6.

HDD cache, a small temporary storage for smoothing read write process.
performance wise 16M vs 32M cache is neligible (no feel).
want fast find the part number (ST3500XXXAS) and google for benchie.
