First time posting since my account got deleted a while back, and I have a couple of questions about upgrading.
Which ram should I be getting for my new ABIT NF7-S, and 2500+? I can either get the Corsair XMS LL 3200 512MB, or the OCZ LL Platinum 3200 512MB for the same price. For those that have them, which perform better?
Also I currently have a Alpha PAL8045 heatsink, and I'm wondering if the SLK-900u is better. Also will either of these fit on the NF7-S? I'm thinking of getting a Panflow 92mm fan rated at 48CFM, will it be enough cooling for me to overclock my 2500 to 3200+ speed?
Now I have a Enermax 431W power supply, which I got as a replacement for my Antec 300W power supply that came with the case. As I don't know much about power supply's, is this a fairly good one?
Specs for the power supply:
+5V -------- 44A ---- 4.95V (Reading from MBM)
+12V ------ 20A --- 12.34V (Reading from MBM)
+3.3V ----- 38A --- 1.54V (Reading from MBM)
-5V --------- 2A ----- 1.99V (Reading from MBM)
-12V ------- 1A ----- 2.37V (Reading from MBM)
+5VSB ---- 2.2A
I have 4 80mm fans connected, 1 WD 120GB HD, 2 CD-RW/CD-ROM, 256MB of RAM, 2100+ default and a mouse, keyboard, digital camera using the USB ports.
Now I need to purchase a laptop for my college course that I will be starting soon. My local place (where I'm getting most of my hardware) has an option to custom build a laptop. Here is what I have picked so far:
ECS G736 Barebone Notebook w/ Hyper-Threading, CD-RW/DVD, 15in SXGA, Radeon 9600 128MB ---- $1500
Intel Pentium 4 2.60C GHz 512K 800FSB w/ Hyper-Threading ---- $260
2 x Micron Original 256MB PC2700 DDR for Notebooks ---- $180
Toshiba 60GB 5400rpm Notebook HDD w/ 16MB Cache ---- $270
Total cost around $2210 in CND. To me it seems pretty good, except I haven't heard much about ECS so I don't know if these are any good.
Thanks in advance
