Anyone good at fixing computer?

No wonder my MSI graphics card was DOA out of the box :p
Must have been made in China

can you find the following PC related products anymore?

1. Made in Germany
2. Made in Japan?
3. Made in the USA?

methinks even when you go to these countries to buy PC related products, they are all made in China.

do you have an iPhone? does it say Made in China too? Made in China products are ubiquitous and you cannot run away from it.

Yes... but internally... dis is equally goot if not better becoz Dell bought over Ailenware sometime back...

Serious!!!!??????


I own an alienware lappie but it's already outdated.

I first bought a hp branded pc and then starting changing the parts to make it better,

Now i have geil rams 6400 which is considered fast speed Overclcoked to 940mhz.

I changed my old overclocked processor at 3.3ghz to one that runs at 4.2ghz it's called the c2d E8400 with e0 stepping. It's one of the fastest Core 2 duos out there.

I have the world's fastest graphics card and the model which is 2nd fastest currently the ati 4870 x2.

Of course my old power supply could not handle that shit since most pcs only have 350 watts. So i bought a new power supply at 750 Watts. There's lots of crap to know like 80% effiency etc. I changed my damn motherboard too so that i could Overclock my processor.



Anyway u guys wait a while the Intel's new i7 processor will be out. Get that along with super high speed rams called ddr3 rams. Now ddr2 rams are dirt cheap. Too bad i got the lower high speed ones. ddr3 rams are still ex but hey it's still afforable.

Oh yes i think i7 processors only can run on ddr3 ram motherboards not very sure.

the key word for a good and stable system is compatible. not compatible, parts will break down very fast. im using asus MB, asus MB is the best!!! diy system is the best!!!

And avoid VISTA.! Go with Windows XP

First thing I load is one of the fee anti-virus SW, free firewall from zone labs. I also got a free SW for registry cleanup ,save restore points, ..... Free all free

Your system must run hot. :p

I think the trend is towards energy efficiency. Getting very exp to run high powered appliances in Spore

Yup it's hot man. So must need watercooling for better heat dissipation. Although i dun have it.

U know nowadays u need 2-3 gfx cards to have the best gaming???? it's called crossfire or SLI depending on the brand.

Nuts right? U need a power supply of over 1000W to be on the safe side when running them.

U need vista for direct x10 gaming.

 

[singveld]

OSX86 boot and shut down faster than vista or xp.

 

[singveld]

the fastest graphic card is 4870x2, what do you mean second fastest?

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

Well i have a non reference card, which means it is an Overclocked version. It is the 2nd fastest OC version right now.

The fastest one has a water cooler attached did u know that???

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

Btw the latest games are far cry 2, fallout 3, crysis warhead, stalker clear sky, devil may cry 4.

Slightly older ones are like mass effect


Damn found some of them boring.


Thank god i did not buy any of them cept for dmc4
Gonna check out fallout 3 and call of duty 5.


Get a raidshare premium account, costs around 15 bucks and u can d/l these games for free.

I think the rule of thumb is still, if you PC runs Crysis at high settings, its good enough. Don't know what those jokers were thinking when they created a game that needs nuclear powered PC. Havent seen Crysis Warhead but I heard they learned their lesson. Most of us don't own insane gaming rigs!!!!

 

[2lanu]

no need la, i realise most of the time i just use to surf forum as i grow older. games these days the more i play, the 3d effect is giving me headache. a 800 dollar one will do i think

Quite true. With a PC that can surf internet can do. I was thinking of a good reason to get one new laptop(as it is cheap now), but still pondering for what...
