I say that we should just sit quietly, because we will start talking about a utd season and we will be let down. Its called the comentators curse in cricket, where the comentator will be raving about how well a certain player is playing and then he will get out or get smashed all over the park...

i love that simple aproach!!! but when i first got my pc it ran at about 30degreesC which was good. But now it is running too hot. Why has this happened

Matt, You nasty bas.. i mean why did you rip him!!! cant you see his mood is sad :) Ive never heard of Jordan before, themoho. Where is it and why are you sad?

My AMD Athlon 64 3500+ is running at around 55-58 degreesC when i stress it with virus checking and other stuff the get it to 100% usage. This worries me as i did not mount the heatsink and this is hot for an AMD isnt it? Fresh re-do of thermal paste? (if they put any on in the first...

If you want to run dx10 games on a dx9 card, they will run but will obviously not look as nice. 8800gts cards go for around 400$ and these are the cheapest dx10 cards I would definately upgrade the GFX card as that will show the biggest difference in performance I assume that you have...

True. best to wait a few more months rather than having some hard saved for componet blow up with a cheap PSU. I'll copy this whole thread and print it for him, just to prove im not a crazy idealist who cant stand generic hardware. As they say, quote a friends 6 year old sister "patience is...

i realise all this and i will only use antec, enermax(not liberty), and thermaltake(no so much though) in all the systems i build (these are the only decent names we get regulary supply of in S.A. I wish they brought Hiper here...) What im asking is if he uses this generic unit untill he can...

If someone was absolutely not in a position to afford to buy a name brand power supply, could one use a 350w generic psu for the following sort of system. MSI K9N Neo nForce 550 AMD Athlon 64 3500+ XFX PV-T73P-UDS Xtreme Edition GeForce 7600GS 512 ram 160gb sata2 7200rpm I have advised...

Have you considered building your own PC. Its easy to do and you will get better parts for your money. This site can help you through the process. I sugest that you start a thread stating what you will use this pc for and what your budget is. You will find that you will be well advised...

i think it'd be cloce but id go with the xfx because you can always get more ram later but to upgrade the gfx card will be very expensive at a later time

Thought so but was not keen to go hunting for that, so thanks. HWF is awsome dont you think

Leave it in. More is better even if it's not from a solid brand. It would be a waste to leave 512mb lying around gathering dust It will be fine as it is the same speed as yours. If you wanted to OC then you would take it out, but i assume you wont be overclocking (i dont).

LGA775 Socket Intel® Quad-Core/CoreTM Extreme/Pentium D /Pentium 4/Celeron CPU processors Compatible with Intel® 06/05A/05B processors Intel® EIST/EM64T/Hyper-Threading Technology/C1E/ TM1/TM2 These are the Specs given on the asus webpage. Its not very clear is it? Is this capable of...

Use a screwdriver! The amount of people who use kitchen utensils..... Go slowly and systematically and dont try to force anything in. Things only go into one slot Make sure you are neat with the Wires in the case so that you dont get a stray cable stoping your cpu fan while youre not around

Well the more ram you can afford, the more you should get. Make sure that you go for a recognised brand (Corsair, kignston, G Skill, OCZ, mushkin...)and not the generic stuff. I would suggest going for the normal/value options of all the above brands as the performance ram is only needed by the...

There are some nice options for you to slot into that gaping hole (PCI-E slot) on your mobo at the moment. As B. said it will make a huge difference to have a dedicated graphics card. I suggest a geforce 7600gt as its is good value for money and you will be astounded a the difference between...

That is an AWSOME pc. Just i would advise going for a normal demensions screen. I say this as some games dont support the widescreen resolutions and that is very annoying. Its just that if you are irritated by things then having two lines down the sides of the screen or havng streched...

Another good, solid name to look out for is BenQ as tehy are very inexpensive and have good specs. I am firmly rooted in the LCD camp as they free up so much space on the desktop and the clear bright images are beautiful.

no i have no cleaned it at all because i was scared that id mess it up.Maybe ill reinstall drivers and see what happens By the way what must i clean it with that is safe to use? It is sooooo dirty

My LCD monitor is displaying perfect picture on the left hand side and a slightly blurry picture on the right. What is happening here?
