RE: More RAM..faster game?
200Gb drives are insanely cheap these days, games today eat around 1Gb average, if you can list your motherboard make and model and your CPU (I assume it's an Athlon socket A) we'll be able to give you more suggestions. If you're already thinkin... | D:Frag | Tech Talk | 01-17-2006 at 09:22 PM |
RE: SOLVED: (frustration no more) total frustration
CookieRevised gives good advice. Remove / disconnect non-essential hardware, such as modems, sound cards, printers and so forth. If you can get XP installed that way, you might even get lucky and not have any problems after putting it all back tog... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 01-17-2006 at 05:34 PM |

RE: More RAM..faster game?
Well... the 6600GT it's not perfect, from my own experience I'm able to play FEAR, Quake4, Call Of Duty2, with max settings except for resolution (1024 x 768) and no antialias all without lag. Need For Speed Most Wanted at 1280 x 1024 with full ant... | D:Frag | Tech Talk | 01-16-2006 at 12:12 PM |
RE: More RAM..faster game?
more ram will help, but what is the speed of your cpu, that can also be the problem. | [MR] | Tech Talk | 01-14-2006 at 05:32 AM |
RE: List As Many Security Progs (Including Antivirus/Antispyware-adaware etc)
Eset's NOD32 is the most effecient antivirus in my opinion. You wouldnt notice you had it had you not been told. It takes somewhat seven minutes using around 5% CPU to do a full system scan on my computer. | dotNorma | Tech Talk | 01-12-2006 at 01:57 PM |
RE: cpu overclocking
You can also try overclocking using software like ClockGen, cpuFSB, and SetFSB. | dotNorma | Tech Talk | 01-06-2006 at 02:40 PM |

RE: cpu overclocking
Its not worth it. Is that your main desktop? What is your cpu currently clocked at? They are recomended for the utter most safety from the manufacterer but the limits can often be pushed without harm.

RE: cpu overclocking
Overclocking is dangerous business, and should only be done if you know what your doing. Especially overclocking a CPU as it deals with the BIOS. Its not really worth overclocking a Pentium 2 but incase you try it on something else... Go into your BI... | dotNorma | Tech Talk | 01-06-2006 at 02:02 AM |

RE: Help with laggy
Did you install your graphics card drivers or are you still using the generic ones? This sounds like a classic textbook example of generic drivers which provide no graphics acceleration. | surfichris | Tech Talk | 01-05-2006 at 10:30 AM |

Yes I do and I should of mentioned that. :) | Chris4 | Tech Talk | 01-02-2006 at 06:12 AM |
RE: cpu full
By the way (i'm sure Chris4 knows this :P) System Idle Process using high percentages of CPU is perfectly fine. Basicially if System Idle Process is using 100% CPU, it means your CPU is completely idle and not using any of itself. | Chestah | Tech Talk | 01-02-2006 at 06:10 AM |
RE: cpu full
So you've opened Task Manager > Processes and seen what taken up most CPU? Like so: [img]http://shoutbox.menthix.net/attachment.php?pi d=585343[/img] | Chris4 | Tech Talk | 01-02-2006 at 06:03 AM |

RE: Is it good?
Well, to be honest i agree with Menthix. Your buying a computer that has 3.1ghz 64bit CPU (Fairly Powerful) and 1GB of ram.
