[QUOTE=Matrix374;30916335]already made a thread I had a 800$ budget and already made a list [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1098565-Building-a-Gaming-PC-with-900-USD-Budget(Need-some-help)?p=30516906#post30516906]thread is here if you want to see it[/url] but I don't see why you want to[/QUOTE] That's some pretty half-arsed help you got there, I'll bump the thread.
So, what is better ? a GT540 with a 2.3Ghz CPU or a GT425 with a 2.67Ghz CPU ? (Laptop)
I keep wondering, is an SSD really worth it right now?
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;30916908]I keep wondering, is an SSD really worth it right now?[/QUOTE] That's my dilemma, I think a 30GB as a boot drive would be pretty useful though.
[QUOTE=Nanamil;30916516]So, what is better ? a GT540 with a 2.3Ghz CPU or a GT425 with a 2.67Ghz CPU ? (Laptop)[/QUOTE] What are the CPUs? GHz doesn't mean much nowadays.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;30917336]What are the CPUs? GHz doesn't mean much nowadays.[/QUOTE] The first one is a Intel Core i5-2410M and the second one is a Intel Core i5 480M. edited i inverted the 2.
[QUOTE=Nanamil;30917454]The first one is a Intel Core i5-2410M and the second one is a Intel Core i5 480M. edited i inverted the 2.[/QUOTE] I would go for the i5 2410M model, as both the GPU and the CPU is better. [editline]5th July 2011[/editline] Depends on what you do with the CPU, but they are very close performance-wise. The i5-2410m requires less power and such aswell.
Ok thanks mate.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;30908532]plug it into the CPU fan header and not a chassis fan header [editline]4th July 2011[/editline] and if it is already, maybe just switch the CPU fan and the Chassis fans, IF the CPU fan is still spinning yet not being detected for some reason.[/QUOTE] I don't know what any of that means, could you explain it a bit more I need to backup my stuff

So my headset mic transmits no sound. I've tried EVERYTHING in the VoIP program I'm using, and it didn't change anything. I'm using the onboard soundcard that came with my motherboard (ASRock M3A770DE) if that has anything to do with it. What should I do?
it should something like cpu_fan under/next to it

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;30922053]The motherboard uses DDR2 Ram[/QUOTE] /sigh Okay then, anyone reccomend a good AM3 mobo in the £60 price range. I'm really out of the loop when it comes to motherboards.

How can I make fraps record my voice through Skype? I was recording me and a friend play Saints Row 2 while we were talking on Skype, and it recorded his voice but not mine.
[QUOTE=reapaninja;30925411][url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/270603[/url] AM3+, 8x/8x PCI-E slots, SLi[/QUOTE] That's nice I suppose getting an AM3+ would be good for the future. [editline]5th July 2011[/editline] Is it a relatively new release? There are no reviews on it.

There are no reviews on it.[/QUOTE] not many AM3+ reviews right now, mostly for high end stuff I think it's mostly because we're still months away from the bulldozer release so there isn't that much interest in them, but at this point an AM3 mobo is a dead upgrade path unless the manufacturer has specifically stated they're going to update it for AM3+ use (but still why would you buy an older mobo when you could get one with without newer features for a similar price)
[QUOTE=Jiro-uk-;30916965]That's my dilemma, I think a 30GB as a boot drive would be pretty useful though.[/QUOTE] One day it's going to end up cheap as shit and I'd seriously regret spending so much on some quick storage space.
I'm getting this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150516[/url] but I noticed this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.656814[/url] there is no difference between the two right? I would really like Shogun but I want to be sure there is no difference in anything (price etc)
