midnit3_fury2 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 okay here goes: 1) If I'm playing a game like World or Warcraft, is there a big difference between a 2.66GHz celeron processor and a 2.66GHz pentium 4 processor? 2) do i need to open up my computer if im installing another 512 of RAM or are there like external RAM things now? 3) same as question 2 but with a video instead of RAM 4)Whats a MOBO?

Mercifull Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 1) Celerons are less expensive than Pentium4 chips due to smaller L2 caches. Some Celerons have no L2 cache, but 128KB on-die cache was added in 1999. They are cheaper than P4's but ultimatly slower even for the same GHz 2) Yes you will need to open your pc. The only way to add ram is to slot the chipsets into the motherboard sockets. To find the right ram for your computer visit http://www.crucial.com and go to the memory selector page. 3) I dont know what you mean about video? :-/ Can you explain a bit more please 4) MOBO is short for Motherboard Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Tempter Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 To answer question three, yes, you will need to open your computer to install a new video card. Installing RAM however, is very easy, and will take you about 40 seconds. I dont recommend installing a new video card until you have some more experience though.

kingjoe2002 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 No offense but if you are asking these questions i wont suggest u pop off the CPU just yet :wink: RAM is not hard as for a video card go get a ATI 9800Pro or XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoe2002 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 ahmm how low? You can get a 9800Pro on Ebay for like $80 bucks tops. Then you can flash it to a 9800XT. Else just get a 9600XT which is like $50 bucks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
