    in Nerd's Chatter [/nerds]

    Posted

    hi~ i switched to a dlink DI-624 router recently.. and during online gameplay (ie. css and dods via steam) it constantly get lag spikes or freezes continuously.. how do i fix that? I'm not sure but i think not just for gaming.. but even when i download the router seem to freeze for a few seconds occasionally then goes back to normal as well.. why is that?

    Hi,

     

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 PSA60H-00C006. I was on the US Toshiba website but didn't know which drivers I should download. There were A60-S156, A60-S159, etc etc. Or maybe I'm not suppose to download it from the US site because it was purchased overseas. Please help as to where I can download all the necessary drivers for the machine.

     

    Just skipping to another topic regarding ram upgrade for this particular model. My local computer shop sells the 512MB SO-DIMM DDR2 notebook rams, and I was wondering if they are suitable for the Satellite A60?

     

    Many thanks.

    NEED HELP picking new cpu.. and other parts too..

    havent had time to check the net lately. thanks for the reply & help. much appreciated.

     

    now i can find time to go shop for the new comp and build it :(

     

    oh another thing is.. the new MBs uses PCI-E vga cards.. but currently im running a AGP 6600GT. i was wondering if there is some kind of convertor/adaptor then can be purchased to put a agp card in a pci-e slot.

     

    thanks again for the help

     

    cheers

    hey guys,

     

    ok i'm looking to do a major upgrade on my comp. im wanting to upgrade to a P4 775pin cpu. but im abit lost.. what's the difference b/w the intel 775 P4 and the intel64 P4? i believe they're both 775pin but what's the difference??

     

    and is it worth getting the SATA HDs? or should i stick to my current seagate 8m IDE one?

     

    with RAM im planning to get either 512 or 1G of DDR400s..

    does the brands really matter?

    the shop im going to purchase the computer from offers kingston/corsair and the kingston/corsair value ram. whats the difference b/w the normal ones and the valueRAMs? performance, etc..

    also they offer the OCZ value/premier/performance.

    im just not sure which to get cos there're so many different types.. plzzzzzzz help!!!

     

    thanks soooooooooooo much :P

    yeh thx for mentioning issue regarding the video card.

    i was just about to ask if pci-express is better than agp.. im not quite sure.. :P

    and if i do change board i suppose i'll just hav to shift my card to another comp n buy a pci-express card :) prob the 6600GT that i wanted ehhe.. cos itz not as expensive as the 6800s and it is a good card ye? anyone think itz not or hav better suggestions?

    No one needs any higher then 60 fps for FPS games, it's really useless. Anything higher and your just wasting small amounts of ram and processing with the game just redrawing everything faster and faster.

     

    yeh well if itz constant 60fps would be good with vsync on.

     

    but im getting about 30-40fps with vsync on. and anything from 30-50 with it off. very unstable..

    Do you plan on buying online or from a retail shop? You'll probably get a better price online but I don't know of any stores that ship to Austrailia. Ok, I just did some conversions. You're willing to spend 396.052 - 633.683 USD.

     

    - Here is the mobo I recommend: MSI nForce4 Ultra (939) K8N Neo4 Platinum (139.00 USD)

     

    - Here is the CPU: AMD Athlon 64 (939) 3500+ 512KB (264.99 USD) The higher the better but you also need money for atleast 1 gb of DDR400 RAM.

     

    2x512 mb shouldn't cost you more than $200. Actually, it'll be quite less depending on brand. Most benchmarks show there isn't a huge difference.

     

    But yeah, you got screwed that 6600. It's such a sham, the GT basically doubles performance in all games.

     

    Thx! u guys r the best! :P

     

    im probably gonna get it from shop.

     

    still regarding the ram? can i use 2x512 ddr333 AND 1x512 ddr400 in the 3 slots on MB? not sure if itz ok to use a mixture of rams..

     

    yeh GT would been heaps better! and only slightly more exp.!! man..

    oh well hopefully vid cards will drop in price soon so i can upgrade again :D

    I'd go for AMD because they perform better. And the CPU makes no noise, it's the fans.

     

    First question that I ask, how much are you willing to spend?

     

    Second question, what kind of games and programs do you plan on running?

     

    And DDR400 is better than DDR333. Where are you seeing those prices?

     

    well spending can vary from AU$500-800

     

    my comp atm:-

    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+

    MB: Gigabyte 7NF-RZ

    Video card: GF6600 (got it recently but not really that good.. should've got the 6600GT.. stupid computer sales guy said 6600 should be sufficient for gaming.. but when i run HL2 and CS:S on it only getting around 40-50fps.. kinda fustrating! :P )

    RAM: 2 x 256 DDR333 Kingston

     

    so really im looking to only change the MB and CPU and prob add another 512 of ram too. if i have 3 ram slots on MB can i have the 2 x 512 DDR333 and 1x 512 DDR400???

     

    and games i run is as i said b4 HL2 and CS:S. and also farcry mayb WOW later on when i get it :)

     

    programs would be like macromedia studio and photoshop and stuff.

     

    regarding the ram prices i just saw it in local comp shop. they have various brands but the generic ones the ddr333 for some reason is more exp than ddr400 :naughty: no idea.. :(
