Should i upgrade my ps ?

[ALstonLoong]

Hi,
Right now i am using enlight 250w ps for 3 80mm 42 cfm case fan, 1 harddrive fan, blue orb,delta 60mmfan, cdrw, cdrom and 2 harddrive. I have a good deal on enermax 330w,should i upgrade my ps ?Or should i get another 256ram since memory right now is so cheap. Which one should i choose ? please give me your opinion thanks

Don't waste your money one more RAM if you are running Win95/98/98se/ME....unless you wanna put it in a new machine. A new powersupply is always a good idea, and the Enermax 330w p/s has that two fan setup that gives some extra case cooling.

*****If you aren't having any problems with your system's stability, then you won't need a new p/s. If you are running Win2k, or NT, then go with more ram...of course, you can always go with the RAM now...while its cheap, and then just upgrade to Whistler later on. Either way...you don't seem to really need either. You haven't stated if your system is acting sluggish, or if its unstable, or any problems...so I'm taking this as a "I WANNA SPEND MONEY! HELP ME CHOOSE" post. Either choice is good. Get both if you really wanna waste some money.

well i have this idea because everytimes when i play counter strike my ps temp was up to 40 degree....beside that i think the fans are drawing too much power from the ps. When i set up the delta fan, my system was not as stable as before.Thats why i am thinking of getting a new ps....

get a new PS and new ram then

Get the PS first. It will be better for your systems stability.

hehhhe........heng1028 do you wanna get one ?

Ya you should get a new power supply, especially if its the enermax power supply. And for some they actually lower the case temperature. As Miraluka said you should get ram only if you are running a windows using the nt kernel...

 

[ALstonLoong]

emm..does anyone knows how many ram needed in new windows ?like XP .

 

[Kp99]

Get at least a 300w PS...

I am sure that xp is going to run ok on 128, fine on 256, and perfect on 512.

 

[ALstonLoong]

perfect at 512 ? my goodness..
