how bout we just blame it all on bill gates and his lousy OS. . .

just as long as its the same type. you cant put ddr2 ram into a ddr or a ddr3 slot for instance or vice versa. check the max speed your board will read it to. if your board can support 667 mhz ddr2 only, if you put 800 in there it will work but will only run at 667 which means you probably just...

yeah gskill would be good overclockers, ive heard corsair is good at ocing in ddr. patriot ddr and low end ddr2 aint that good at overclocking, though their high end ddr2 is supposed to be great at overclocking (i dont speak from experience, though I do have 2 gigs of it, I dont believe in...

actually surprisingly enough AMD seems to still be selling pretty decent. they still make great high quality processors. some may argue with me, but im running 2 amd processors in my two computers (a 1.8 ghz single core turion in my laptop and the 6000+ in my desktop) and both work marvelous...

ok guys let off the phenom, yes the intel quad outperforms it right now. but look at it, intel has had a major, and I mean a MAJOR headstart on AMD as far as quad cores go. AMD will catch up and sooner or later make a better processor in later models. course then intel is gonna get mad and make...

it could indeed be your cpu, but it could be something else. theres a lot of brands of em out there, im using an echo star 600 watt, seems to run my stuff really well. Newegg has some good stuff to, im goin to say you cant fail with patriot or corsair ram. OCZ has good stuff to but their a lil...

is that free? I might do that, I was just seeing if easytune 5 would work since it not only measures temp but I can control fan speeds and voltage (for overclocking though I wont be doing any of that 2 ghz is more then enough juice for him)

Hey all Im putting together a basic build for my youngest brother, nothing fancy, its a amd athlon x2 3800+ on a biostar motherboard. heres question number 1, I am putting it in an older case and am going to run it for a couple weeks to make sure it doesnt run to hot. during that time I need to...

i read about that lol one group overclocked 3 8800 ultras together with an overclocked intel quad core to see if they can run crysis maxed out on that. they did, but only at like 35 fps.

its not necessarily the real life training its the team work and the tactics. tell me-are you good at cod4? be honest. now think about it you and your unit, all playing cod4. im willin to bet after all the guys got used to the game you guys would do fantastic because A: your given combat...

it is the right type of ram right-your not trying to shove ddr2 into a ddr slot?

lol i know its old, but I sometimes like the old games as much as the new ones :D I have COD4 and i love it, but I still like playing BHD and the original Call of duty. heck, I even have an old version of Rainbow six from windows 98 that i still play on occasion hehe. I was just wonderin if im...

he ran 3dmark06 on it stock lol i dont think he did on it overclocked, he brought it back down. He said it was stable, and Hes got some computer technician certificates, not sure which ones, and is currently halfway to getting his bachelors in computers (specifically graphics and networking)

I dunno my amd 6000+ works like a charm. Course all I do is gaming, and it has more then enough horsepower to play games like COD4 :D

What nick says, sounds like good advice. :D sweet computer by the way whered u find a case like that? is it custom made?
