    Are these timings crap?

    Hi, Please advise me on this memory. Are these timings crap or what? If so I'd be interested in any suggestions. My computer just isn't as snappy as I think it should be with an AMD X2 4200+ , and 2 gigs of ram. This info is from SANDRA: ( I combined the first four lines because they all...

    New Hardware, & windows continually reboots

    Hi, I just upgreaded to a AMD 64 2 X 4200+, with an ABIT UL8 motherboard. I chose this so I could keep my year old ASUS AGP card. The only problem is that Windows keeps rebooting when I turn on the computer. I have had this issue before, but forgot how I fixed it. Thanks,

    Suggestions please

    Please forgive my ignorance here, but would the DC 3800+ you mentioned, be the same as an X2 3800+? :confused: I just don't know about all of these new processors, seems like they change every 5 minutes.

    Suggestions please

    That's alot cheaper than I expected it to be. I might even be able to go up a bit with the chip, at those prices, and still get a good card. Thanks for the tip. I also have to decide between Nvidia, or ATI. I'm leaning to Nvidia, I have had problems with ATI's drivers.

    Suggestions please

    I guess the only thing that bothers me is that if I were to go DC, it would be like buying a new computer. If I could use my current AGP video card, it would be easier on my wallet, but if I'm going to lay out this much cash, then I want to get the best I can afford because I don't want to have...

    Suggestions please

    I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do have 2 train sims that can bring a system to it's knees, and currently they run OK, but not the best. As for the AMD are we talking dual core or what. This is where I have been confused, with the new chips. Thanks

    DVI vs. VGA output

    Hi, I was rooting around in my monitor Samsung SyncMaster930) manual, and got to wondering if it would make things better to switch from the analog (VGA) video to digital (DVI). I'd like your thoughts before I waste my money and go on the hunt for the needed cable. Should I leave it alone at...

    New to shuttle type systems

    Hi, I'm considering a upgrade of my current system which is a P4 3.0GHZ pentium. I'm thinking about the shuttle type system, I guess this is called barebone. If I'm incorrect please forgive me and correct me. But anyway, what in your opinion (I know we won't get 100% agreement) is the best and...

    Your upgrade advice

    Other than Train Sim, I maybe play MP3's while working with pictures in Photoshop Elements, or Paintshop Pro. Other than that I don't do alot of multitasking. So what do you think oabout getting better memory or should I just add 2 more basic chips. :confused: I'm just trying to gain some...

    Your upgrade advice

    Hi, I'm considering a fairly major upgrade to my computer. I currently have a ASUS P4P800, Pentium 3.0 GHz Processor, and some basic DDR400 Memory, and an ASUS A9800pro/TVD video card. I'd like to keep the chip and the video card upgrade the board, and the memory. I don't do alot of gaming, but...
