I'm thinking 19" widescreen but I have no idea which make and how to decide if it's good or not. I saw a Samsung one, I think the 931BW, but yeah. Let me know what you think. This should be the last question for this topic (I hope!) cheers aonghas	aonghas (12649)
579505	2007-08-13 13:45:00	As I said before, dont get expensive RAM unless you are clocking the processor. DDR2 667, is plenty fast enough!!! I disagree. What is the FSB of your motherboard? Where is everything being stored while you are running it? In the RAM. Why have a speedy FSB, CPU etc and then go and stick RAM in that is slower than the rest of your system frequency? slows the whole system down. If you have a FSB of 800, then to make full use of it, you will need 800mhz RAM. Putting 667 in is ok, but will 'cripple' the system.	Bozo (8540)

I believe the new C2Ds with 1333MHz FSB are best when coupled with 667MHz RAMs. 667MHz RAMs run at the same speed is the CPU's FSB, much like the case with older C2Ds coupled with 533MHz RAMs.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

There is no need for a PSU W rating that high with your system...	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

Duh, dude, the bus on the cpu is 266*9=2.4Ghz which is the speed of the quad!.DDR2667/2=333, therefore the RAM is already faster than the bus and will an overclock up to 3Ghz at 1:1 ratio without a sweat.....what r u talking about!

579510	2007-08-14 02:20:00	Are we still allowed to post in this thread? I can't tell if the specific query has been answered yet....... Help me out here Jan. Nope. But, and you heard it here first, I feel there's a very good chance of a post build help thread, so keep an eye out for that. However, it's your lucky day, there's a very good thread over here, that requires intelligent input (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). I could even arrange that some additional queries be added, say, what makes Macs and Vista so right for the masses and why is Nortons and McAfee top of the pops in Scandinavia and the Baltic states right now.

This should be the last question for this topic (I hope!) cheers aonghas I recently bought an ASUS VW192T 19 widescreen and I love it. I upgraded from a 17 inch LCD. My only issuse is I wish I had gone bigger (like a 21 inch, but I had to keep within budget) as it took a while for me to get used to the shorter screen. All the best with your new machine Meg	meg_h_nz (6960)
