PSU:Thermal Master 420W TM-420-PMSR (Cooler Master) Optical Drive:Asus DVD-RAM HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB Ive just brought the following: Nvidia 9800GT 256-bit, 512 GDDR3 Graphics card Link here (pconlineshop.co.nz) Silverstone Element ST50EF 500W 12V ATX PSU Link Here (www.playtech.co.nz) Is this enough for my new upgrades? or is there anything else i need. Can someone also help me on the underclocked cpu?, my stats are Here (valid.canardpc.com) |

| 780141 | 2009-06-06 10:12:00 | Well it depends...what were you looking to see after the upgrade? Better gaming performance? I would grab another stick of RAM, so cheap these days And are you sure you don't mean DDR2 for RAM? Blam |

| 780142 | 2009-06-06 10:15:00 | Sorry, I edited it now blam, also im looking at upgrading my ram but im unsure if my Genuine OS disk is 64bit - The os im using now is Windows longhorn indigo core VII and its 32bit only so far as i know... as for the ram any suggestions at why its running @ such a low speed? | ZapperBoy10647 (11988) | ||
| 780143 | 2009-06-06 10:37:00 | Most probably to do with the FSB of the CPU limiting it and the ratios Not an expert on this, so I'm unsure how you can correct it. Blam |

| 780145 | 2009-06-06 11:04:00 | Wait for SolMeister or someone experienced:p | Blam (54) | ||
| 780146 | 2009-06-06 12:16:00 | You have your CPU:FSB ratio to 1:2. Most mainstream mobos won't let you tweak too much of this kind of ratio. You can try raising the RAM speed to the next highest ratio the motherboard allows you, but you may want to increase the DRAM voltage as it will exceed 800MHz. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 780147 | 2009-06-06 23:15:00 | i only have the option to increase dram 2 533mhz , would that be it? | ZapperBoy10647 (11988) | ||
