agreed the psu is bollocks. i was just checking to see how much performance i could eeek out of the crappy pc whilst spending very little. i think i'll just leave it alone, seeing as i got it working with an amd 5200 and 2gb ddr2

i know they're all pretty slow, in my real rig i have a 4850 so i'm reasonably in the know about these things. the problem is that this crappy computer i want to put hybridcrossfirex in only has a 200 watt psu and i dont think it could handle a decent card, so this hybridcrossfirex seemed like the b...

i'm looking to stick in an ati pci graphics card to fit in an abit a-s78h mobo. i have three questions on this topic: 1. out of the four supported cards, the hd2400xt, the hd2400pro, the hd3470 and the hd3450, which card has the best performance? 2. if i installed one of these cards to the mobo woul...

whoops.... sorry about that. i will take your advice and, IF i buy a new mobo it will be an intel one. and yes i make some very silly errors. i am sorry about that too. the only reason i asked for mobo advice was that my mobo may be broken, i do not have much money and i needed a quick fix, in which...

u think a intel board and a new intel processor will cost less than just an am2 board? i like the sounds of this. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-144-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=806&name=Asus%20M2N-SLi%20Deluxe%20(Socket%20AM2)%20PCI-Express%20DDR2%20Motherb...

oh yeah and what do your recommend as a mobo on a budget? (which fits all my stuffs)

i was already thinking about the antec. just wanted some opinions from REAL people. ta

hi i seriously need a new case. the one i have is noisy and has stupid lights and computer 'bling' in/on it. but mostly its the noise that bothers me, a few years ago when i bought the case it was simply a gaming machine, i didnt care about noise and i actually liked all the silly bits on the case. ...

in that case really don't understand why some people spend hundreds on really fast ram when u can get the same performance on 2 gigs of ram for 30 odd quid.....

well thx for the help. i heard about all the nex gfx cards coming out soon, seeing as its been pretty stale for the year or two. and i see what you mean about it being 'future-proof', what i meant was just something that could handle most new games etc. that were coming out over the next year or two...

lo, i'm looking to beef up my pc. it needs to be able to run all new games reasonably to very well (even crysis, if possible) and i want it to be pretty much future proof for the next few years- without spending too many monies. my specs are- amd 4200+ gigabyte mobo- (http://www.giga-byte.com/Produc...

well anyways, enough of the grammarrrrrr. here are what i propose getting. any help appreciated.... http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132276/show_product_reviews (cheapo mobo) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA-M57SLI-S4-Motherboard-Definition-8-channel/dp/tech-data/B000GQMHT0/ref=de_a_smtd?ie=UTF8&...
