Re: New Computer.

You can't just go throwing any combination of ram together in there. It either wont work or it'll peform worse than just having a gig in there. I'd play with just a gig for now until you can upgrade. Unfortunately you're not going to get the most out of your card until you DO upgrade. In fact, you'll be lucky to play at medium/high settings.

------------------

Edit: If price is a huge problem, I'd forget about the case and the power supply for now and use the case and psu you've currently got. Then you'll get all the peformance and later on your upgrade will be stability and appearance. It sucks but unless you get good ram you're really going to get a huge underpeformance problem and you WILL NOT be happy.

I don't think the motherboard will fit in my case... I have mATX very tiny mobo in it. I guess I will have to deal with it until I can buy the other ram in a couple months. Also, I sorta promised this computer to my older sister :|

Re: New Computer.

^ i'm running two SATA drives, one 250gb one 160gb,


neither needed floppy's for windows installation to detect them and infact one of them is a seagate barracuda.

i do not have a floppy drive, well i do but their gathering dust.. all 12 of them.

but more to the point theres no need TO BUY A NEW ONE

go to any body who has owned previous computers and ask if they have aspare floppy drive the answer will more than likely be yes.

You interested in sending me a black one with cables for my new pc?

Re: New Computer.

NIec, pc but i remeber a member here having some problems with that case, they said everything was cramped and it didnt have that good air flow. I recomend a Thermaltake Tsunami.

Me too, got it and the airflow is awesome.

Other than that though, damn nice machine mate. Good luck with the 18th Party too

I've had experience with a mATX case. It's much better to get a normal ATX case because most mATX cases don't support the normal sized ATX PSU. Heat could also be an issue with mATX cases so I suggest you stick with an ATX case. The motherboard can be mATX or ATX; whichever you prefer.

I am sticking with a ATX case the only reason I said that was someone suggested I don't get the case and PSU and get the extra ram but I don't own a normal atx case to fit the stuff I'm getting :) but I'm now getting the ram so what was suggested earlier is irrelavant now :)

The 7900GTX is less than or equal to in performance to the X1900XTX so... :) plus I've always been very happy with all my ATI cards. I order everything of mine from NCIX, they have awesome service and custom care.

P.S. I'm not ordering my Video card till the the 4th of April. I think I'm going to get the XTX instead of the XT because it's on sale for the same price as the XT.

Re: New Computer.

Actually the 7900GTX is peforming equal or slightly better, though slightly less in some games, however graphic driver support is new and the card's potential hasn't been realized yet, while the x1900 is pretty well realized. The 7900GTX is technically a better card, but yeah, right now, the x1900 probably outpeforms it.

Always, I've never had a problem with any of the ATI cards I've ever had. I guess I've been blessed
