Quick questions~!!

[jAcky7]

Hi there~!!!

Well um a.... im not that good at computers, so i just wanted to ask u guys some questions.

1. Um...U c i use a "P5LD2 SE" asus motherboard. Im using a 1.8ghz dual core and i want to change it soon. Can i use a 2.4ghz dual core cpu on this motherboard?

2. Where can i download directx 10? I'm installing vista on my other computer but i just don't know where to get dx10... Do i have to buy it?

[yobbo89]

you dont buy dx10,

first you need a dx10 card,

and vista comes with dx10.

i dont think you can download it at all,

vista auto update does this anyway..

your bord is 1066fsb,

you can put a quadcore in there.


i recommend getting a e6600 2.4ghz 1066fsb

[jAcky7]

Wee~!!! Thx!!

But i dont have dx10 in my vista ultimate cd....

Well ill trust my auto update then....

Quadcore!!! WOW!!!

Um also how much is a e6600 2.4ghz ???

Im still a kid and i upgrade my pc with my own budget.

[yobbo89]

q6600 quad core = $325 from msy.
e6600 should be around $280

[jAcky7]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

280????????

I'm sorry... Us dollar?

[yobbo89]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

280????????

I'm sorry... Us dollar?

those two items are from australia.

ill convert them

q6600-$279
e6600 - $240


australia has like 10% gst

so it would be even cheaper in usa.

[jAcky7]

O M G!!!

thx for the conversion but, its just too expensive for me....sob...

I live in indonesia and i hope they are a bit more cheaper here than australia...

Well thx for the replies and your kindness^^~!!

[yobbo89]

you could just get a $50- $90 high end heat sink that cools your cpu .
and overclock it to 2.4ghz very easly,

i got my q6600 2.4ghz overclockd to 3.5ghz with a $70 heat sink.

can run cooler then the current stock heat sinks.even when its overclockd at the same time

[jAcky7]

oh... cool!!!!

Thx.. ill try that..
.

oh... and is there like a service pack for vista?
and where i can i get one if there is one.

[yobbo89]

also dx10 is a part off vista. you dont see it install,.

it will be in the vista installation package , that you will not find.

but its there lol,.

what type off cpu do you have,? i can pick out a good heat sink, and tell you what a good over clock it can do

[jAcky7]

my cpu type? um a..... i kind of don't understand.. hang on... i just found my
cpu box... what am i supposed to look for???

u got a little spelling mistake there....^^

[yobbo89]

you will have a box.

ie intel core 2 duo box,

with a stick on the back or side of it,

white sticker

with like


socket 775 e6400 2.4ghz 1066fsb

[jAcky7]

Oh.. found a white sticker...

core2 duo processor e4500, LGA775 Pkg

2.20 ghz, 2mb L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB

Requires electrically compatible board - PCG06

hang on ill write more...

[yobbo89]

3.2ghz is a high over clock for that cpu. requires some skill.

you should reash 2.6 -2.8ghz easy.

you needs some tool.

cpu-z
core temp
wprime



the best air cooler you can get is

http://www.pccasegear.com/prod5523.htm

that will send you to and past 3.0ghz.


i recomend somthing a bit cheaper . 3.0ghz will be a bit hard for a beginner.



this is what im using to get my q6600 @ 3.5ghz,
