Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

Yer but apparently my ram speed isnt good so I just wanted to know if its worth adding another 1gig of the same ram speed or buying 2 gig of a better speed.

Your better of running a set of matched RAM like Corsair twinx, GEIL matched etc. Otherwise you'll loose out on DDR.

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

ya u should sell those ram and get a better 2GB kit

when u r ready to do ask us and we will find u teh best bang for buck

ur mobo needs DDR-533 not DDR-400 as the ones u will get wiht ur system

and please be sure to run this prg as soon as u get the PC since i doubt that the cpu will be 3.8 @ stock

Hey Safrout I picked up my PC today i ran that CPU Z tool you said to run and it shows my corespeed as 3.8 ghz but it flicks between that and 2.8ghz constantly, do you know why that is ? :S

Ya it should be just fine, but you may want to get 2 gigs of ram

Re: My PC - Good Enough ?

Can anyone explain the CPU Z thing ? :hmm:

It keeps fluctuating between

Core speed 2.810 mhz
multiplier x 14.0

and

Core speed 3.800mhz
multiplier x 19.0

it seems to go to 2.8 when nothings happening is it just like that to keep temp down and kicks in to 3.8 ghz when i do intensive stuff or what ?
