Post your Speedtest.net results!
Not entirely accurate, it should be a bit higher in up/down. I got a nice ping. I live with 0.8, works perfectly. But maybe you have some movies passing thru your wires...

Considering this PC setup, any changes to suggest?
Uhm... You can run a 9800gtx+ on 450w with a quad cpu and some hd's. <- Try O/Cing it. 650 for new cards? You could run 550w with a 9800x2 +quad without any problems. 9800GX2 is an old card. New E.G. GTX series, 4870, 4870x2, etc. 850 for future proofing? Wtfk are you talking about. Nvidia/AMD/Intel are going down in manufacturing-size on their chips every year, they will consume less - not more (ok maybe when the 16 core cpus come it will be another thing, but that's nothing to worry about now). Tri-Sli, most people I know will be doing it when the GTX series starts to fall alot more. You can run a 9950BE (which uses about 145w or something) and 2 GTX 280's on 750w. - 9950BE? Whats that? I think you're one of those who have fallen for the "psu marketing myth". - 750W-850W are similarly Priced, I'd just pay 10% more for 100W more. There would be no problem ocing a 9800gtx+ on a 450w psu. [hide=W][/hide] Running a GTX 260/280 or a HD 4870 wouldn't be a problem at all. 9800x2gtx still uses more than those cards. 4870x2 and 9800x2 are in a different leauge of cards so you can't really compare them. Tri sli? Yeah... For what? 3dmark 06 points? Because it's totally pointless in games. And i don't think people who are asking about computers on TIF even barely knows what tri sli is. Recommending a 850w psu is totally and utterly useless. Phenom 9950 Black Edition. I really dunno why you would be using a 850w psu when i can clearly see that you don't know very much about hardware.

Dont tell me I broke something >_<
Coretemp is better? And yeah I removed old stuff. Yes, it reads temps more accurate. So, is it working well now or still some crap going on?

Acer Aspire X1200 (Another New Computer Thread, I Apoligize)
I made this on the HP page (as you wanted pre-built), actually a pretty ok price i must say. [hide=HP build][/hide] (and before someone tries to kill me about Norton - it was free)

If you are applying new paste, i hope you removed the old paste from the cpu and fan correctly. I hope you didn't just put some new onto the cpu without removing the old stuff. And use coretemp instead of speedfan. Grrr... Back from holidays and what do i get? Sick! Flu, headache, sore throat... Lol.

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
Seriously. Choose the one that's the cheapest, just not the one with the reference design.

Signature idea.
I remember some mod posting that putting anything in hide tags would not make the signature under the rules if it was larger to begin with. And Shazarabbit... :cry: to the siggy and avvy I think the rules are perfectly clear. I still remember the 8kb avy rule tho and haven't learned i got 12 more to play with lol. Rofl, George. I noticed that too when you mentioned it. The avatar, not the sig tho. =P

which is more important for a video card?
Shaders, generally speaking. (but ATI and Nvidia uses different manufacturing techniques) 512mb version is the one you should pick. If you play on 1920x1080 you should pick a faster card (then 1gb comes into place, but 9400 is too slow at that res anyways to the memory size still doesn't matter). But why are you buying from dell? Picking up a new piece for (presumably) Dell computer you already got? Or getting a Dell and choosing a card? You might want to uninstall the current drivers to your current card and install the latest before you buy anything new. I know WoW isn't the most demanding game, but pick a 9500gt if you can.

There's something called Yahoo and Google lol. With modular you can choose what cables to use and put away the ones you don't need, a regular power supply you have all the cables and you can't take them off. Modular are always more expensive, but it saves you space and air-flow.

Find me a Hobby...
You have great sea-fishing in the UK, so either you can do (beach) casting or go out in a boat. Or fly-fishing in the rivers. Depends on where you live tho (obviously).

Building A Computer?
Looks real nice. You might want to get a custom cpu fan (sorry, didn't think of that before you ordred) if you would like lower noise and temps. Something like this for just 20$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835101014 and a tube of arctic silver 5. But it's up to you.

Building A Computer?

What you want your Rs Character to achieve in the next year!
Uhm... uh... ehrm... uhhmmm...... I have no clue. I have been online maybe 1-2h since late november all put together. I guess, 500m wouldn't hurt... But it will never happen. I'm too lazy. I was going to try catching 1k chins today, but i got bored after 14 lol. Nah i don't know, maybe if i get my "rs spirit" back i might achieve lvl 126 (no summoning), but i guess in the end 120cb and 85 mining.

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
Why doesn't Q66 work for you? Granted it's old, but it costs alot less and is extremely easy to clock. At those prices, you could get a damn i7 920. Never heard of that psu brand, and is only 70% certified. Im just gonna say, get a SeaSonic/Corsair/Zalman/FSP or Thermaltake psu, 450-500w with 80+ effeciency and toss a coin. When it says peripherals, it means molex. I thought you had a sub 900 budget.

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
Motherboard (depends on the mobo) uses the mainconnector 20 or 24 pin. Optical drive uses one sata, harddrive another sata. The case fans usually goes into the motherboard, but (if i remember right) if they draw more than 3w each you should connect them to the psu instead. But 80 and slower 120mm are just to plug into the mobo. The graphic cards, depends on which you choose. If you choose the 4850 it will use one 6pin pci-e connector. You should never judge on how it looks. FSP is a really good brand, they build quality stuff. On the OCZ psu you had 4 molex connectors if my memory serves me right, which can be used to connect to a bigger graphics card (such a 4870) or more hd's.

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
There's something called "specs" next to customer reviews where it states what you get. Yes, it can read and burn, dvd and cd. It has enough things for a gaming computer. If you need more sata or pci-e connectors you have some molex to play around with. If you want something that you don't need adapters for - get another psu. As i said, because of it's price it's pretty sweet. Here you have another psu if you don't want that OCZ http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817104034 This and the Corsair one i mentioned earlier have more options than the OCZ, but they are a bit more expensiver.
