Maybe wait till july and see what you can afford then, maybe you will be able to get a newer gen quad for the same price by then?

maybe consider 4 gig of ram and its doubtfull the graphics card will last 2 years but im sure the rest of the pc will be ok for 2 years - maybe if you already have a okish pc you could wait for the 9800gt? But I guess you could consider SLi in the future when ppl start tossing their 8800gt's for new...

Nice mobo just check out the qvl on asus's site b4 u buy, I almost bought a p35 mobo - the one with the ddr2 and 3 - that whouldnt have supported any ram I could get cheap enuv for my liking

Yea my supplier said they will return it to icss at no charge on my end ofc but they dont take any responsibility (dont think i spelled that correctly :P) for the time itll take cuz theyve had screens that took upto 4 months to get returned I sooooo wish all manufacturers will drop icss as their war...

I bought a LG 19" widescreen monitor about a month ago and this morning suddenly it just died...after closer inspection I found that the image was still there only very very dark, so i called my supplier and asked em if they are sending it to ICSS... and they are... I have tested the screen and...

I love my P5N-E SLI :) but im a nv fanboi - do note the P5N-E SLI has great support for kingston ram and the intel chipset mobos seem to often have trouble with 4 dims of kingston - the P5N-E SLI has 2 sets of duel channel support on most kingston Maybe just check the qvl on asus's site before you d...

All with the same media? maybe get another well known brand and see if they still give the same msg?

Ive seen spindle packs of verbatim discs that were really bad - like 15/25 were writeoffs

May I just point out take2 sell "Chaintech nVidia GeForce 8800GT - 512MB - PCI-E" for R117 more than prophecy so I doubt that they anyone will sell em cheaper than R1900-R2000 any time soon - or atleast not before all the large importers in SA start getting tons of stock on em We may see t...

ok so what speed is my ram? [img] [img]http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/6241/ramvb1.th.jpg[/img] [/img] does it have to be the same manufacturer? i don't think it'll be easy to find the same brand that came with my notebook http://www.nanya.com/PageEdition3.aspx?Menu_ID=87&def=210&lan=en-us

Hey I dunno if it the right thread for this but has anyone ever sold a world of warcraft acc online or whatever, the reason im asking is cuz im thinking of stopping playing it and I have 3xlvl 70s and alot of alts ect - ive seen some pretty ordinary accounts with alot worse gear than my chars on acc...

thx :) the reason I was asking is I ordered a alpha dog 88gt for a frnd...i didnt care about the make/price...and neither did he cuz it was over xmas so all the suppliers were closed or had no stock - i was just wondering about the clock speed on it cuz its useless to ask him :P that xfx model was l...

why not just 1 gig for now?

ATM when i oc my gfx I get no gain atall in 3dmark....but I just took my cpu to 3.26 (highest i can get it to boot without changing the voltages) i gained a little bit more than 1k in 3dmark06 and thats without even touching the gfx

I installed one of those 1.6 gig cpus in my dads pc and a few office pcs......ffs they are so slow - ive never seen them in games, maybe thatll be a bit better DarkStar will u plz give us a update asap

I dunno what kinds of temps that mobo runs but all I can say is if heat is a prob for you dont go for the P5N-E SLi mobo (the cheaper 650) as it runs hot like hel :P From what I can find on google that mobo should run at about 40 under full load - which is still alot lower than my mobo not sure what...
