Kruten September 21, 2006 Share Kruten Member September 21, 2006 haha. btw, kruten i have a 7600gt that the guy that bought my x1800xt wants me to sell. interested? it's evga so lifetime warranty. Possibly. How much? It's a pretty decent card and about $150 new at Newegg, so I should be able to afford it. Any overclocking or anything or everything run straight stock?

Cujo September 21, 2006 Share Cujo Member September 21, 2006 (edited) it's stock oc'ed from manufacturer but the guy that bought it about 4 months ago never oc'ed it. i'd probably want like 100 + shipping. pm me and we'll talk.

Cujo October 16, 2006 Share Cujo Member October 16, 2006 your cpu is really the only thing holding you back performance wise. oh and your vid card is complete overkill with that monitor... the other thing i'd upgrade is your power supply. i haven't heard of that brand. in fact i'm surprised it's running your system with stability.

shaftiel October 16, 2006 Share shaftiel Member October 16, 2006 (edited) What would be a good choice for a CPU and power supply? If my system freezes could that be on account of the power supply? If I go to a dual core cpu I would need to upgrade the mobo. Shaftiel Edited October 16, 2006 by shaftiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go to a dual core cpu I would need to upgrade the mobo. Shaftiel Is it the alluminum Allied PS? Looked at a few reviews and seemed to fair well just not a big name brand. There is nothing wrong with that, I have a Coolmax 450w for almost 3 years now and I love it. Adjustable 120mm fan, weighs in like a brick, not a big name brand but a good bang for the buck.

I'm using the cheap 350W in this thing and I know this thing has to be pumping. It's been causing some problems for me when I try to play some games. The family comp has a 450W in it. I might steal that. It's an old Athlon XP rig with a 9550. 350W is enough power for it. The guy I sent my power supply to already soldered the wires and adjusted the voltages. Just waiting for it to get back. Edited October 17, 2006 by Kruten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go to a dual core cpu I would need to upgrade the mobo. Shaftiel yes your system freezing would most likely indicate a power supply issue unless you're overclocking. well a good choice for a cpu would be a core 2 duo. sadly your mobo doesn't seem to support them. you'd be into something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131032 then add either an e6400 or e6600 (i'd go with the e6600 cause of the bigger l2 cache). for power supply i'd look at least at the 750w thermaltake toughpower or the 650w antec trio or the ocz 700w gamextream. nvidia has an excellent power supply guide here. haven't posted my specs for a while so here's my current setup: DFI NF4 ULTRA-D A64 X2 3800+ Manchester @ 2.8GHz w/ 1.4v 2x1024MB PC3200 Corsair VS @ 254 (3-4-3-8) w/ 2.5v ATI X1900XTX 2xWD Raptor 150GB (not raid due to vista not installing with raid) 1xWD 3200KS BenQ DW1655 DVD-RW SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum Tt Armor Aluminum Tower Enermax Galaxy 1000W DELL 2405FPW Logitech G15 Logitech G5 Plantronics Audio .90 Heatset MS Windows Vista X86 Build 5744 (latest) edit - argh! it won't let me post a separate reply...

-=SKArface=- November 18, 2006 Share -=SKArface=- Member November 18, 2006 Figured I'd post a pic of my rig. The two monitors that are on are my primary system. The third monitor sitting up top is attached to my linux box under my desk. I use synergy to share my main computers mouse and keyboard with the third monitor. If you have two machines synergy is a fantastic little program. I have a Sparc5 in the closet (no monitor) that I keep running, but almost never use. (specs on my main machine are the same as I posted earlier) I just built the monitor stand for the third display, so I wanted to show it off.
