maybe the price of stocks that arrive is higher than before

budget? if money is not an object to you, e8600 and something with "formula" behind should do superb

nah, not e8500, e8600 bigger multiplier.. but he is using g31m-s2l.. i dunno much abt that mobo o.0

e8400 all the way, most games arent really made for quadcore yet, so e8400 is the best for now.. but if you're into online gaming and do multiclienting, then phenom is your choice but i would choose q6600 than phenom..

well, even phenom x4 9950 cant defeat e8400, what do you expect from x3? =/ well, maybe got something different in x3, i dont really know tho, i tink x3 isnt real enemy for e8400


actually, it depends on benchmark.. if the software support quaddie, so phenom is better. else, dual core pwn..

if you put both of them on the same mobo, the 800mhz will downclock to 667ghz to match the speed. 667 wont fly over to 800mhz.
you wont feel the difference between 800 n 667mhz

well, performance ram usually used for overclocking purpose, it can run at tighter timing. i would go for 4gb value ram than 2gb performance ram.
besides, difference of performance between value and performance ram only around 5%.. i tink it is due to performance ram have tighter timing. and again, you wont feel the difference



^ well lex do gives more detail and correct me if im wrong

lol, maybe this is a pretty noob qn, i oso dun wan to tumpang other ppl thread, i dun wan to create new thread due to my simple qn :s

so its like this..

let say there are 2 procs, dual core n quadcore, same clock speed, same cache size.
so, AFAIK, dualcore perform better in game. but what about quadcore? will it perform the same and let the other 2 cores relax? (non-quadcore utilized game)

cpuz.. here the dwnload link http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz_149.zip

give us your budget

actually, phenom 9950 (fastest in amd) cant even win q6600 (slowest quadcore in intel)
q6600 is slightly better than 9950, besides, q6600 can be oced to 3ghz, sure will pwn more deep..

intel is a better choice for now
but if you want to get amd's quadcore, try wait for phenomII, soon will come out but heard that it will come out with ddr3 based mobo, duno true or not =s read read only.. hope some1 can cfm this..

9800gt is about the same with 4830 4650 is below than that, around 9500gt i think..

well, i think windows 7 isnt matured enough, wait until its full version released lah lol..

http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm

256-bit graphics core running at 400MHz
Up to 10.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth with DDR2 667 system memory
1.6 GPixels/sec and 1.6 GTexels/sec fill rate
Up to 224 MB maximum video memory
2048x1536 at 75 Hz maximum resolution
Dynamic Display Modes for flat-panel, wide-screen and Digital TV support

AFAIK,use dual channel is better (2x1gb) but i dont think you will really notice the difference.(correct if im wrong)

if i am you, i will just get 1x2gb just incase for future upgrade

ddr2 era is ending, ddr3 era coming~ grab ddr2 fast while you can ( if you want to use the pc for another 3~5years)

all psu has the same size, nothing to worry about the size, but theres something to worry about how much watt it can provide to power up ur rig

i have 2 pc turned on 24/7, both eats around 750w (including monitor). including others basic thingy like tv (lcd 40"), washing machine n bla3. bill monthly is around rm200(hardly reach lah)
besides, mind giving out pc spec? i might be able to calculate how much ur pc eat ur money monthly (excluding monitor).. if ure using ctr, move to lcd. it use less power than crt do. crt uses as much as an aircond.

besides, turn on EIST too (for intel proc). for amd, i dunno what they call it.


hav u remove the previous graphic driver? besides that, reinstall the current driver too, incase it hav problem make sure u get the latest client too.

i dun really understand what do u mean by "tendang". means, let say u put a pendrive in a usb slot, then it respond for while, then suddenly it nv respond? pendrive use very little power tho =/

mind list out ur spec? probably psu cant provide enuff power or got prob with windows =/

i suspect its the ram problem, is it the long beep twice? reseat the ram. few times. if it still nt working, reseat the graphic card and ram.

but for sure is, if long beep twice. it is related to ram.

i would choose q6600 over e8400. q6600 can oc free free to 3ghz. if get better cooler. 3.6ghz is achieveable.

what do u mean by updated? bios? driver?


if driver. install those basic already more than enuff. chipset. network. sound.
if bios. do u have problem with the bios/proc cant be detected/ not stable? if no, then dun flash it. it is very risky..
if other softwares. just install those that u really need. why install something that u dont need/use?

i nvr click the link u posted. asus page load damn slow

ure not an overclocker? then 4gb value ram is already more than enough. the extra money can use for something else..


if u insist to go for 8gb. must get 64bit windows to make full use of them
