Moderators Andavari Posted February 8, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 8, 2006 I haven't checked individual components in a very, very, very long time and didn't have the foggiest ideal that prices were that good. Your post now has me contemplating gutting my old Win98 system to do so upgrading, along with the OS of course. Hope you enjoy your new system!

Inu-Ya Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 O.. I will. I changed the case cause the Motherboard would not have fit so... yeah. But that 1GB RAM stick is a good buy. Only 79.99 + shipping. Yeah, My system will hopefully be good as my Brothers in Performance that is. His graphics card will be far better then mine. Mine is a ASUS ATI 9200SE 128 4/8xAGP 64-BIT. His is a ATI 9800Pro 256MB 8xAGP 256-BIt. The CPU and new RAM and motherboard should be able to run CSS and others such as Farcry at least on good mid to high settings. The reason my Sig. says only now 256MB cause I shocked out my two RAM slots on my current motherboard. I was PO! 256MB is not that bad but it sucks having to wait for 50 processes to start-up.

zaphirer Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 That RAM is a pretty bad price, SD, 2700? I didn't know the prices were that high... at least where I live, "Silicon Valley" you can get a 1GB stick of PC3200 for $60... Everything seems ok, 2000+ is decent, mid-range... but I'm not entirely sure that a 300W PSU will be the best option, especially if you're planning on playing games of any type.

Inu-Ya Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nice one there.... Can't wait to buy the parts for mine and set it up. But will the Motherboard that I'm buying speed up the CPU to 2.0GHZ? My Motherboard right now can only read it as 1.67GHZ which is the Max spped for the board. Plus+ If I'm wrong on the RAM I'm buying for the board plz... tell me. I don't want to mess it up or... shock any of the RAM slots. But I should be good. I think I chose the right ones.

gunner Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Don't know, it is always best to check with the manufacturer. I like the whiskey bottle idea. Tried it last night, but can't find the bottle this morning. I'm really going to have to work at this. Getting the bottle empty is the hard part. If it isn't broke, tweak it.

But I should be good. I think I chose the right ones. Your RAM will work fine in that board. Both are 184-pin DDR1 and you aren't exceeding the amount that the mobo supports. You're good to go. Love the whiskey bottle mod, hazelnut! Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inu-Ya Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Lol, thx. I should be good. This upgrade is happening on my BD! I'll be 19! I'm buying all the parts on Friday of the next week and should arrive on Monday of the following next week. I've changed some stuff around again and should round up too being $196 and the case and Board and a mirco. I'll re-post the links to my new added or... replaced parts. Till... then. "The only thing that is staying is my Graphics card which I believe with the case it should "Not" heat up and restart my computer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inu-Ya Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Question: what if I kept my current RAM which is [PC2100] and put in into my new Motherboard and instead of new RAM how about a new Graphics card? Will the RAM mess with the card and slow it down? or... would the Motherboard work things out? The reason I ask is that I'm really wrondering if RAM would be better or... a new card. My current card is a ASUS ATI 9200SE 64-BIT 128MB! Not that good though. Will the 8x AGP do any good? I play Fable on my computer and I get lag when casting spells and fighting in combat. I'm wondering if I just need a new card and not RAM as my MoBo can run on [PC2100]. I'll be having 512MB anyways. I think a new card is in order. I'll be spending like... $120 on a new one.

Moderators Andavari Posted February 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 18, 2006 Nice system, and I like that whiskey bottle! It probably would come with a warning tag: Please refrain from drinking your system. You risk drunkenness & electrocution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokoike Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 It probably would come with a warning tag: Please refrain from drinking your system. You risk drunkenness & electrocution. Yeah, they would basically have to, or someone is bound to sue. That's what we need, a stupid warning label thread. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl.

Inu-Ya Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Ok, I need to know if I need a new graphics card or... just to get better RAM. Links: My current card ASUS ATI 9200SE AGP 4x/8x 128MB 64-BIT New card SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600PRO 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X The RAM [iF] I were to keep my current RAM. Would the new card run slow? But, [iF] I were to keep my current card and buy this RAM Rosewill 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 333 (PC 2700) would that help my current card? my MoBO right now can only do 4x and I was wondering if 8x would be any different in performance. I play a game from Microsoft called Fable. The graphics on there are good and my current card can't handle it. I think it's my MoBo fault but I'm not sure. My new MoBo ECS KM400-M2 3.0 Socket A (Socket 462) VIA KM400 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Should be good. But I need to know if getting better RAM or... getting a new graphics card. My current RAM is 1 [PC2700] 256MB and 1 [PC2100] 256MB = 512MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
