Max Graphic Card tht suit my PC w/o bottleneck...

bluetech20 — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:42:10 +0800

Hmm... i planning to buy a graphic card soon i wonder what is the max graphic card tht suit my computer spec without bottlenecking it...

here is my pc specs:

Intel Pentium D 820 - 2.8 GHz (no overclock and wont overclock)
2GB Kingston DDR800 Memory
ABIT LG-95C M/Board based on Intel Chipset 945GC

i guess this is the vital specification that is needed.. if u need more spec, jz look at my sig.

the graphic extensive games that i wanted to play:

Setting: 1280x1024, High Detail, High Setting. (w/o AA also can, jz incase cant support)

Left 4 Dead
Crysis (not so strict on this game setting, i know its requires very great GC)
Dynasty Warrior 6
Red Alert 3

enlighten me please...

ADD: I currently thinking about ATi Radeon HD 4830 / Geforce Series, but will my processor bottleneck the gc?? which result in degradation of performance from actual performance.

Which of the following college is good?

bluetech20 — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 22:40:24 +0800

Tenda TWL541P Wireless NIC

bluetech20 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:30:14 +0800

Currently i'm using this Tenda TWL541P Wireless NIC. I've no problem with the signal reading at 80%(4th bulb) obtained from laptop about 50m away from desktop(equipped with this card) indoor, below is the short summary on my usage:

Distance: 50 metres
Signal: 4th bulb, 80%
Avg Speed: 13~15 Mbps, @ MANUAL setting 54Mbps transmit speed.

Problem lies:
The transmit speed option keep hopping back to AUTO, its Degrades my speed as it running on 24~32 Mbps setting making the throughput i gets is below 8 Mbps.

Any Tenda user here? and anyone face the same problem as i am??

Sorry for my bad languages if i made a blurry statement.

MSI N9600GSO vs Asus EN9600GSO

bluetech20 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 03:46:33 +0800

As refered to the title.. please help me...

2 Brand... Asus and MSI, ALMOST same price, Asus cheap RM1 (RM369), MSI RM370..

Specification please refer below:

Asus EN9600GSO

MSI N9600GSO

Attraction is on MSI where they put a some how a better look of cooler(2 slot cooling system) while Asus seems like using ordinary cooler(without any package or 2 slot cooler?)

I want to ask other than looks, is there any different spec on both this card? for example memory spec, timing, then graphic chip overclockability, and so-on that you all can bring up to. please give some helping hand on this. thank you.

Local SNR Margin : 6.3 db +/-
Remote SNR Margin : 13.0 db +/-

Tx Line Rate: 512 Kbps
Rx Line Rate: 1024 Kbps

but TODAY (For G.dmt line rate) :

Local Line Atten.: 4.0 dB
Remote Line Atten.: 2.0 dB

Local SNR Margin : 38.5 db +/-
Remote SNR Margin : 25.0 db +/-

Tx Line Rate: 512 Kbps
Rx Line Rate: 2048 Kbps
