Why not? Win7 isn't as memory hungry as WinVista, here.

What do you expect him to play, Crysis? Win7 would be fine although WinXP is slightly more memory efficient but lacks many functions not available in Win7. Why don't you try Win7 yourself?

Hello guys...
I got a very noob question for noobs like me lolx...

1. DVI socket and VGA socket is different?

2. The thing from graphic card to monitor, it is both VGA-VGA right?

3. What if monitor only got HDMI, how to connect graphic card VGA to monitor HDMI? Does this one-time cable available?

Thanks in advance !
*
1) DVI = digital signal, VGA = analog signal

2) Depends on the available input(s).

3) Possible with a VGA-HDMI converter, but could be pricey.

Obviously the MSI N275GTX Twin Frozr is better in both criteria.

why u say that???asus got hardware protection to prevent overcurrent
*
You were comparing performance and temperature earlier. Overcurrent is a feature in stability/power delivery criteria. How many graphics card have you seen so far damaged for not having the feature? laugh.gif

Thanks GeneralX smile.gif. How about legendary Zalman CNPS 9700 NT? biggrin.gif
*
No problem. The old legend is, well, old legend but still if compared to Red Scorpion, both are on par. The successor to Red Scorpion, the Achilles is slightly better than the old legend though.

wanna ask about amd phenom x2 550BE and x3 720BE. can they surely be unlocked, or depends on batch, type of mobo, etc etc?
*
Depends on batch, motherboard requires at least SB710 southbridge ... and luck.

QUOTE(infinity1613 @ Oct 27 2009, 12:43 PM)
Can a DDR2 RAM substitude a DDR RAM and vice versa?
*
If you mean replacing the RAM on your motherboard, yes only if your motherboard is one of those combo-memory version. DDR is not pin-to-pin compatible with DDR2.

QUOTE(Zheng87 @ Oct 27 2009, 01:09 PM)
Guys, will it have a difference if i use 4x512mb ram using 4 four strip in mobo instead of 2x1gb in 2 strip?
*
Under normal usage, there is no difference.

the laptop is Compaq Presario V1000. the RAM tat comes with it is 128mb DDR SDRAM 266MHz. Do u think it can be replaced with 512mb DDR2 533MHz RAM??

Thanks!!

Absolutely no sweat.gif

QUOTE(Zheng87 @ Oct 27 2009, 01:32 PM)
What if i use it for gaming? And what kind of usage will it have difference?
*
No difference. The good thing is it might increase overclocking margin a little, that's all. Bad thing, it stresses your chipset more, thus more heat.

QUOTE(kanethesun @ Oct 27 2009, 02:44 PM)
hi, I am Athlon 64 user, with DFI nF4 Infinity board, would like to ask if my mobo can support 1TB / 1.5TB HDD?
*
No problem, as long as it supports SATA interface, you're good to go.

QUOTE(dlwl @ Oct 27 2009, 03:05 PM)
SB710 southbridge, means from 770 chipset onwards? i see most of the people who unlock uses 790GX mobo. if i'm not wrong, 790GX uses SB750 southbridge rite?
*
Yes to both questions. You might find SB710 on certain 760G/740G motherboard though.

hi, what is important about chipset? i have a core 2 duo e4500, and i want to buy a board, i see so many diferent price and chipset, what so important?
because if i buy intel 945 chipset also run the c2d, and buy g31 also run?
please help me.
*
Mainly better processor support, more efficient manufacturing process of the chipset, slightly higher overclock-ability.

You can't run certain Core 2 Quad processors on 945-series, but G31 supports most, if not all of them including the 45nm Quad/Extreme.

However, the price difference of both isn't much, so going with the newer G31 is a better investment.

power supply unit = psu

i see got
- extreme power
- true power

what difference ar?
*
Extreme Power is advertised at its peak power:
Advertised: 500W
Peak Power: 500W
Continuous Power: Less than 500W, depends on rail amperage
Example: PowerLogic bundled PSU (450W peak, 230W continuous)

True Power is advertised at its continuous power:
Advertised: 500W
Peak Power: More than 500W
Continuous Power: 500W
Example: Silverstone ST56F (600W? peak, 560W continuous)

ooh i see now. thanks!

basically, if using heavy graphic card with high watts consumption, better to use true power psu, right?

also, the CoolerMaster CM690, does it comes with some fans? or need to buy yourself one?

Added on October 30, 2009, 1:23 pm    * One 120mm ball bearing intake fan
    * One 120mm ball bearing exhaust fan
    * One 120mm ball bearing side fan
    * Optional areas throughout enclosure for additional 80-120mm fans

oh, it comes with 3 fans already, with room for more?
*
Depending on your system specifications, you might not really need a true power PSU, although it is recommended to have one nod.gif

There are at least 2 types of bundled CM 690 on sale. One with 2 fans, the other with an additional fan on the side panel (The front LED fan is included but not counted if not mistaken) smile.gif

Still enough rooms to fit at least 4 fans nod.gif

guys,if i leave my pc on for 12-20 per day,will it affect my pc hardware such as gc?

The components will degrade little by little from the moment you turn them on. Compared to those on 24/7 operations, yours would have longer life span. If the always on system can last for a few years, yours would last longer nod.gif

thx bro..i worried a bit coz my fren pc already have problem becoz he leave his pc on for torrenting..his ASUS EAH4850 already kaput..so,there will be nothing wrong la to hardware if leave pc for torrenting?
*
No problem bro. As you might have known, bad air circulation, high operating temperature, power spike, and lightning contribute to hardware damage as well. It should be fine for 24/7 operation if he fulfills most of the requirements laugh.gif
