I need some help before I burn a hole through my wallet on a GTX 970.<br /><br />My current rig has the Intel i5 2500 3.3GHz processor, are these 2 compatible? The processor is really quite old, I&#39;m afraid it will slow down my new GPU. Just for reference, current GPU is Asus EAH 6970 direct CUII.<br />Hyped for the Witcher 3 but my processor barely meets the minimum requirements.<br /> ken1995nj Hardware Fri, 15 May 2015 17:27:34 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3187432 Well... I need help guys, I&#39;ll start by explaining.<br /><br />I bought my PC from viewnet 3 years ago, custom selection of parts and assembled by them. I got the OEM version of windows 7 home premium 64 bit as the OS. Thing is due to some problems I brought my computer to a local shop to try reformatting but forgot to bring my original CD.<br /><br />They installed a pirated version of windows 7 ultimate. I only realized it when everything was done and I had to pay, so well I had no choice.<br /><br />Now this is really tugging at my soul right now, and I wanna learn to do a fresh install on my own. But well my question is can I still use my first copy of windows 7 (home premium). I don&#39;t wanna go halfway only to find out I&#39;m stuck without an OS. Note that it&#39;s the same computer, no parts changed, I&#39;m aware that OEM installs are tied to the motherboard of the system they are installed on.<br /><br />If this violates piracy policies on the forum then I&#39;m sorry, I don&#39;t know if it applies to my specific circumstance. ken1995nj Software Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:32:57 +0800
