| 652208 | 2008-03-30 08:30:00 | Don't forget that if you installing on a 32bit OS, the maximum RAM you will get out of 4GB is approximately 3.3GB. | ephesus (2509) | ||
| 652209 | 2008-03-30 09:28:00 | With the cpu I prefer the X range rather than the Q Of course it all depends on how much you are prepared to spend and how long you want the computer to last.And of course what you use the computer for. Do you mean QX**** range? Cause the cheapest is around $1500:eek: My budget is about $3000 for PC only. $3500 inclusive of monitor. I want this pc to last 3 or so years? The computer will be used for basics + gaming such as Crysis and future games. If anyone else can help me 'build' a better pc, please post your ideas here. There are some requirements though. 1) 45nm Intel quad processor 2) 2GB ram 3) nvidia graphics 4) silverstone tj09 case Thanks |

The only thing I have done is upgrade the GFX card to an nVidia 8800GTS 640MB and it plays everything fine still. :D |

| 652211 | 2008-03-30 21:29:00 | Can I suggest the Corsair 720w power supply? I have the 620w and love it . Plus its quiet and modular . Hard drives are also cheap enough so why not throw a second one in and set up raid? 2 HD's in Raid are often faster than a Raptor . up the ram to 4GB . Grab a 64bit Operating System . Graphics, at the moment grab an 8800 GT, they give the best bang for the buck . Yes the new cards are coming but then the new cards are ALWAYS coming . Gigabyte for the mobo . I have an Asus P5KE wifi and won't be getting another Asus . Hell the MSI I had before this was a better board . Grab Sata for the Optical drive . Ascent is a good supplier . When I was in NZ I got all my parts from them after getting stuffed about by a few others . Warranty is awesome on them and their prices include delivery . |

If you are staying with XP, 2GB is fine, if Vista, get the x64 version and 4GB of RAM . . . . Well, thats what i'd do . . . |

| 652213 | 2008-04-01 06:36:00 | Well i'm planning to go with 32 bit vista. Less hassle for me. So should I stay with 2 GB or get 3 or even 4 GB? Also does anyone know which monitor is better? 226BW or 2232BW from Samsung? Cause currently they're both $499 at Dicksmith... |

Add in the ram on your graphics card and you are getting near the limit that 32 bit will recognise. www.vistaclues.com explains it best. Monitor is personal preference. google the reviews and read up then go down to DSE and have a look for yourself. When I was selling TV's I never recommended a TV without the customer viewing it themselves as we all see things differently. It will also depend on what you are going to be mainly doing, gaming you need a faster response time(lower ms is better) |

Get off the P. 3.25GB is the max for Vista 32bit. Get 3 gigs. 4GB with a 32bit OS sometimes causes strange issues. The graphics RAM doesn't come into the equation at all. |
