603980 2007-10-21 22:12:00 It says "olymipic" 400watt if that is what ya need

I know those olympic 400 watts, gold label, 10A on 12v.. so damn light it wouldn't hold down a piece of paper

ATX but has a plug for monitor?

They are a joke. a very bad joke. my PSU (enermax) is also 400 watt but has 32A on 12v.

I would not try to push that PSU to "just" run anything, most likely it will explode.


As for your game being slow, I would put that down to your gfx card mostly.

603981 2007-10-21 22:16:00 It should make a large difference, however due to your other hardware being a bit older, it's possible it wouldn't make such a large difference as you'd expect. Perhaps some others who have done this kind of thing on similar hardware will have a better idea just what kind of performance increase you'll see.

It's very hard to judge it exactly.

I said "just" about your PSU, what Agent_24 said was a bit closer the the mark lol.

The only thing with buying an AGP card at this stage is if you decide to upgrade soon, you'll probably lose a bit of money on the card.

603982 2007-10-22 04:26:00 svchost is a windows file but trojans / worms can also infect this file.

And screw things up.

Get hijackthis in my sig below. Put it in its own folder run it. Then click on scan the system and save a log. Post the log here.

We'll see if you've got anything nasty.

You tried prevCSI? one for your tagline

603983 2007-10-22 07:00:00 ok 256mb . . . . . how much if a difference will that make to my gaming?

Password, the WinFast A340 you have now is a FX5500 which was a very poor card for gaming even when it was first released (in short a hunk of junk) . If you could put 512MB of ram on your card (which you can't) it would still suck .

Most of you problem is not a quantity of video ram issue, rather a Graphics Proccessor unit (GPU) speed issue .

You have 2 options

1 . Upgrade to a Better AGP card
GeForce 7600 GT 256MB, AGP $200ish or maybe GeForce 7800 GS 256MB, AGP $350 ish

2 . A substantial upgrade to make your system PCIE which will basically mean a new system, as your ram won't be compatible with the new PCIE board and prob CPU etc .

The problem with option 1 is, you will struggle to run the latest games at nice resolutions, ie . Bioshock/Crysis etc, so biting the bullet might be the better option .

Really all depends on what your future gaming plans are .

The card you linked to is PCI express rather than AGP.

Better to not try and push your PSU. A 7300GT would probably be your best bet.

Nope there are AGP version of the 7600GT if you are talking to me.

And his 400watt PSU is probably fine for a 7600GT, the 7300 is a poor choice.
