Thanks for the help everyone. I just thought I'd update on what I purchased.
Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 ATX AM2+/AM3 AMD770 PCI-E16 2PCI SATA2 RAID 1394 HD Sound GBLAN Motherboard
AMD Athlon X2 7550 Dual Core Processor Socket AM2+ 2.5GHZ 3MB 65NM 95W OEM
Sapphire Radeon HD 4830 575MHZ 512MB...
Can you explain how it would be a downgrade? I'm not sure what earthwatts are but its an antec powersupply at 380W that's all I know.
I am also likely to buy another hard drive later on so that would be 3, would my current power supply still be able to power them up?
IF the apevia is...
You know I'm not sure about that. My newest 500GB hard drive is SATA...the other one (200gB) may or may not be, but worst case scenario is I'll transfer everything to the 500gb. Not sure about the cd/dvd reader..I'll ask my friend but those things are relatively cheap, aren't they?
Actually just read this review and this one is rated decently. Thoughts? That would save $40. Prices on newegg are CAN, right?
MSI R4830-T2D512 Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail $87
By 550 you mean this: AMD Phenom? II X2 550 Dual-Core Black Edition 3.1GHz w/ 6MB Cache (Retail Box, Socket AM3)? It looks like I can get it for about $119
I don't have access to that motherboard. Is there an alternative? This is the place I would buy it from...
My current computer is almost 6 years old and I wouldn't replace it other than the fact that it suddenly died this afternoon. Somehow it turned on and it works again. I believe the video card is toast and since it's so old (AGP!), I'd like to replace everything if the PC decided to not turn on...
hello!
I just purchased another 1gb of RAM (Kingston ValueRAM 1GB PC3200 DDR CAS 3). I currently have 2 sticks of 512mb ( CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail) on a chaintech vnf3-250. In any case, whenever I put in...
Hello, what is the optimum refresh rate on a monitor. Recently my mother tried to play freecell on my computer and said it was so blurry and grainy that she got a headache. After that, I tinkered with the refresh rate and couldn't really notice a difference with any of them at all.
I set it...
My sound is inverted and I don't know how to fix it. It's onboard sound, chaintech vnf250. I have the newest drivers I believe.
Could be that I connected the cables to the mobo in an inverted way or is it due to something else?
Thanks
I made a 25gb partition for the OS. The desktop that I can see is the one on the C: partition, right?
Where would I put stuff like video codes such as xvid and how do I make the default download and install directory E:?
Is it possible to have the desktop be affiliated with the E: part of...
For some reason, the directions that came with the CPU stated that you should put pin1 (triangle) closest to the end of the lever, while in reality on my mobo it should have been diagonally away from the lever.
