    Question About Upgrading Memory

    The motherboard is an ASROCK 4Core 1600P35 Wifi and it will support either the DDR2 or DDR3 memory listed but not both at the same time, only either one or the other. I don't want to mix memory and will find out which HyperX that I have. The price difference for 2 Gigs of one verses 4 gigs of...

    Question About Upgrading Memory

    I currently have 2 gigs of DDR2 PC2-6400 memory installed on a machine with 32 bit XP Pro. I'm upgrading the hard drive to an SSD and now I'm trying to decide how I should upgrade the memory. I know that it needs more. I understand that the system won't recognize over 4 gigs of memory. My...

    Inexpensive Dual Fan 585W PS

    Well it seems that both Antec and HEC are in the same catagory of Medium to Low End Gaming Machines. So I don't interprete that as meaning that they're both garbage. Every unit has it's advantages and disadvantages. I've listed the advantages as lower cost, higher output and extra cooling...

    Inexpensive Dual Fan 585W PS

    How could that unit be 10 times better if it's only 380W and only has 1 80mm fan? Mine is running cool as a cucumber! And when my last power supply died, it didn't cause any other damage to my computer. Even Mercedes Benz builds some expensive lemons, while some of the economy cars just keep on...

    Inexpensive Dual Fan 585W PS

    Some folks like me are simply looking for a basic replacement power supply with decent output. Newegg sells a very similar Orion 585W and the major complaints were about the quality of some of the supplied connectors & wiring, but not very many about the power supply itself. There's 114 reviews...

    I'm sorry that I don't know. Did you check the 4 reviews? They seem to indicate that it runs stable.

    Inexpensive Dual Fan 585W PS

    The power supply died in my CM Stacker tower and there were only 2 places to go to have it quickly replaced. I selected an Orion HP585D because it was in stock at the repair shop, plus I was paying for labor and wanted to keep the repair cost down. This model has 2 relatively quiet 8mm fans and...

    Price/Component Check for a budget rig

    I have the ASRock 4Core1600P35 solid capacitor motherboard which doesn't have onboard video and it's been running an E8400 great without any issues. Without commenting directly about the G43, their solid capacitor motherboards have been reported to be very stable, reliable and a good value.

    E6750 Conroe Vs. E7200 Wolfdale

    Wow! I just read a good article comparing many different cpu's using many various benchmarks, including the very 2 CPU's that I'm asking about. Apparently the Conroe is better for gaming, but not in every other aspect. The L2 cache isn't all that critical. The article concluded by saying: The...
