Upgrade GPU or CPU first

juiced — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 20:24:15 +0800

Hi guys,

So I am contemplating an upgrade for my build but limit my budget to 7++. My current specs is written with my sig....the main cause for this upgrade is to be ready for the new games coming out (bf3, mw3, skyrim etc).

I currently connecting my rig to an LCD tv so resolution is usually 1360 x 720 and highest is 1600 x 1200....so which one do you guys recommend:

a) get a i3 2100 + new motherboard and milk my gtx 260 for another year

or

b) get a ati 6870. Think my cpu will be the bottleneck but with my resolution it should be ok. Dont mind in turning off some eyecanding for decent framerates.

Thanks in advance for all the advice guys....

Problem description: high snr and line attuention

hi guys...heres the story....previously i was on a 1mb package for 2years....starting late last year I had to downgrade to 512kb because my line attenuation was 63db and snr was 6db...so the line keep disconnecting usually during the nite...max i could get stable was 30 min before it get disconnected....after i downgraded...my snr increased...max i could get was 16db(still get disconnected but less frequent...I could stay online for 1day max and sometimes dc after 2hrs of use)...this improved connection but line attenuation was still 63db(they said i was pretty far from the exchange)....

I searched google....and there are a few modems which can give a stable signal even if the snr is 8db(min needed is 11db)....so i'm wondering.....if:

i) i change my modem i could get a higher snr margin?(anybody experience this before)
or
ii) i keep my modem...turn it into halfbridge and add a router would also get a higher snr?
or
iii) i change both...buy new modem and router?

another thing...i really want 1mb....if i switch to jaring....would i still get disconnection...because jaring is using tm infra rite.....so im not sure if its worthwhile to switch......

thanks guys....

Problem description:

I connected all the cables from my pc to my router....set my nic to auto assign ip....but still i cant ping or connect to the web page of the linksys (192.168.1.1).....I also tried to hard reset to factory settings( press 1 min rest button at the back) but still no working. Tried setting the ip to static, my pc 192.168.1.100, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.1 but still cannot.

Is my router broken or the firmware corrupt? anyway to flash the firmware without connection to the router , other than that I get the ip 169.254.8.31 for my NIC. If this is the ip which was given from the router, anyway to know the router own ip address? I tried 169.254.8.1 but still cant haha

so any help guys....thanx
