Hmm.. that is interesting. I have 2 gigs and my ram is at 5.7. Perhaps your processor is keeping the score low. Of course, Vista scores don't mean everything. Here are my scores without overclocking:
Processor: 5.4
Memory: 5.7
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming: 5.5
Primary hard disk: 5.7
oh i thought that the mobo couldnt handle higher memory speeds, also thought the 6400 rams wont work because of the at. So i was wrong this whole time ? im so noob, sorry
Officially from the spec sheet it only supports PC5300, but that's just outdated...there are quite a few people even in this thread that are running PC6400.
Im about to pull the trigger on the s3300z w\180w powersupply... i will be using this slimline for HTPC features only .. no gaming.. BUT i do need a component output to hook up to my 60" plasma.. my HDMI's are already being used
What do you guys think will work.. i seen some newegg links on this thread to the 8500 and 8600 but they are showing deactivated.. also do these slimlines do SPDIF out?
Has anyone been able to take apart the MCE IR and place it in the slimline case yet?
for these slimlines, is it possible to buy a case and swap the mobo into that new case? would seem like a good idea
I put some AS5 on my BE-2400 and am getting 20 and 12 degrees C on the cores at idle. I have ordered the SAPPHIRE 100233L Radeon HD 3450 to try to go fanless with the GPU. Wish me luck. If I had known how addictive theis little HTPC project would be, I would have just started using crystal meth instead...it would have been easier and cheaper, jeeze.
Well, after about an hour or so, my tuner got so hot that it shut down and quit working. I also found out the card resizes the desktop with the black border after a reboot, so you manually have to change it each time. Didn't work for me. It will be an RMA.
Which is the best 8600GT card out there? I know it works with any slimline models (at least 160W). Here is a link of the S3330F (WITH 8500GT) and HP told me that all there new s3330f's come with a 8600GT and that they still have the 160W PSU. As seen here in the Parts order page "PCI Express x16 graphics card - NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT (Sikorski), 256Mb, 64-bit memory interface - Supports 2D and 3D, DVI, S-video, and VGA (full-size bracket only, not offered on low-profile bracket) I/O ports" P/N: GV312-69001. SEE HERE FOR THE S3330F
This is the memory I plan to buy from CORSAIR 4GB
And *MAYBE* the processor AMD ATHLON 64 X2 5400+ 2.8 Ghz
Now I just need a 8600GT Video card any one care to give me good links to it?
For those of you who want something better than the 8500GT, but don't "trust" the 8600GT from Galaxy.
MSI's 8600GT for relatively cheap.
136.75 AUD = 125.311 USD. I contacted them about shipping charges to the states, so I will keep you everyone up to date on a response.
