Worth upgrading?

Crazegamer — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:21:57 +0800

Hi. Need some opinion of whether my current graphic card is worth upgrading.
Currently using gigabyte 9600GT. Is it worth upgrading to 4850/9800GTX?
Will I get a huge performance boost or is it better to wait for a better gc to come?

Budget I guess about RM600 if its worth it
I use it mainly for gaming...

Hi, I have not kept up with laptops in a while and was hoping you guys can help me:
What are my options for a laptop with a budget of rm 5k? Use for work/presentation and some gaming (not crysis kind of gaming)

Most important is: Which brand has a good after sale service?

Anybody?

New harddisk question

Crazegamer — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 01:55:02 +0800

Hi...I have just recently got myself a WD 500gb HDD and I have a few questions...

1. Should I dump my old HDD(80gb hitachi) and just partition and use the new one or keep just for window xp files? My friend thinks it will be faster if I use 2 hdd.
2. IF the 500gb HDD becomes my secondary drive...should I bother partitioning it anymore or should I just leave it at 500gb?
3. Is 60gb enough for a partition just for windows and essential files?

What material u suggest? Was actually thinking of acrylic paint but quite unsure whether will turn out nice.

Please don't ask me why I didn't just buy the black one. Don't want to think about it....

Hi, I am looking for a good 120mm case fan brand. Going to use it as my rear fan
Can you people give me some feedback on some of the popular brands?
Thermaltake, evercool, coolermaster etc

Swapping hardware

Crazegamer — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:00:29 +0800

Hi, I have just recently decided to upgrade my PC.
I am planning to change the proc, MOBO, GC and PSU
All other components will be the same (eg: HDD, DVD drive etc)

Now, some questions...
1. I heard if I do this, win XP will have some problems. Solution?
2. Should I know anything before I start?
3. Any other advice?

Thanks in advance
P/S: Tried searching the forums but don't know what search terms to use

Choosing a processor

Crazegamer — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 01:25:55 +0800

E6550 vs E8400. Which is better? I am trying to get the speed to min of 3 ghz for gaming
Can a e6550 be overclocked 24/7 without frying it at the end of the year?
Is it better to just get the E8400 instead?

Budget is not really a problem but obviously the less I spend the better...

Hardware questions

Hi, I recently planned on upgrading my PC. Purpose is mainly for gaming (Supreme Commander, Gears of War etc).
So... Have a few questions after reading some threads in the forum

Any huge difference between Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L compared to the GA-P31-DS3L
I am also planning to get a E6750 or E6550(plan to OC it, so which is better value for money?)
Budget is enough to buy the above without feeling guilty on spending too much.
Note: This is my first time trying OC so I would like to just OC it by a bit only. Don't dare to do too much the 1st time.

Another question can a PSU of 450W support the above plus a 9600GT?

Thanks in advance
