Re: my rig -fps

66 processes thats epic

stone cold the biggest issue with a psu is mounting it especially if its not the same dimensions. the 405w one that i got was just a little bit different and it goofed up everything with mounting it

Re: my rig -fps

Well yeah... If the PSU is too small or too big, then you'll have a big problem...

I remember when i installed my old PSU for buddy of mine, at first i tought wtf?!? where's the places for screws... Then it all cleared up after i turned the PSU...

So as long as you have right sized PSU, it's pretty easy to install...

Re: my rig -fps

i thought maybe i could do something to my case so the psu is sitting outside of it but the wires go inside the case to power everthing. idk though im not much of a fabricator..

I don't think that's a good idea...

Maybe you could take the PSU back to the store, and say that it doesn't fit to your case. Maybe they'll change it, or give u refund...

Re: my rig -fps

250 is low for a modern system. A 400 - 500 watt supply can be bought relatively cheap nowadays. I got my 400w supply from PC World (£25 on offer) and it has worked fine for me. Replacing a power supply is a pain but not hard to do. It's just a matter of unscrewing the old one and swapping out. Then plugging all the connectors back in. Most PSUs are standardized nowadays and have all the recent connections. Make a note of what plugs in where when you take out the old one.

Re: my rig -fps

The PSU should fit your case if your case is ATX and the PSU is ATX. In my Dell Inspiron 531 I had a weak 300W, single 80mm fan. I then replaced it with a 600W, single 120mm fan. The new PSU is ATX, and the case is ATX so it fit perfectly.

I got my 550W for 55€(44£)... So the prize ain't that bad...

Re: my rig -fps

this is my mobo - Sunshine DDR2 (GA-8I915PMD) Ver 0.1

I dont think I would be able to upgrade my cpu to dualcore on it...?

[imported_Field]

Re: my rig -fps

just caus its a dual core doesnt mean its good. i have a dual core processor and here i am getting 10-20fps on a loaded titan on a 48 person server

Re: my rig -fps

Lower your resolution. It's actually not that bad.

I play at 800x600 with 7800GT, and the rest is almost the same to yours. Never had a system lag except on Titans. Conquest works fine on 1024x768.

BTW I bought my system AFTER I bought the card in 2005 so I don't have the power issue. 350W PSU should be good enough, and you can still run at 1024x768 or something like that. I don't suggest you to buy this-and-that to upgrade. It used to work, but is not worth it anymore. Today you need to design a system around the high-end gaming graphics card, or otherwise buy mid-performing card and play on low res. Upgrade your current system to is always PITA, especially the high-end ones. New computer specs roll out every year, and it becomes ever painful to find old parts. If it's not RAM and not PSU, then prepare to get a new system.

Re: my rig -fps

knowing some of the stuff that i know now i would have just built a computer. would have a better rig for less money

[Shazanelli]

Re: my rig -fps

I defragged using windows today. I also opened up my pc and cleaned out the tonnes of dust inside it! Especially on the fan of the graphics card.

I then went to play 2142 and realised that I have now got about 10-20 fps extra and it lags less!! How cool is that. Not sure how much the defrag helped, but I should clean my pc more often....

I'm so happy. :yay:

Re: my rig -fps

I usually have about 45 on start-up, but end the processes of non essential ones before each time I play and gets down to about 33.

also it would be a good help to get rid of the msmsgs which is running in the processes as its a virus or adware , cant remember which, but there all the same(a big pain in the arsenal)

notice how its named to look like msnmsgs so you wouldnt give it another look.:salute:

According to this, it's part of Messenger, as long as it's located in C:\Program Files\Messenger...

The Windows Messenger from Microsoft provides Online Chat and Instant Messaging.
If you don't use Windows Messenger, you can disable it as follows: Start -> Programs -> Windows Messenger -> Tools -> Options -> Preferences. Uncheck "Run this program when Windows Starts".

Note: The msmsgs.exe file is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Messenger. In other cases, msmsgs.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm! Check this with Security Task Manager.

Virus with same name:
W32.HLLW.Spirit - Symantec Corporation
W32.Alcarys.B - Symantec Corporation
W32.Alcarys.G - Symantec Corporation

So it's not virus everytime. Might wanna try to disable it from the start-up, and if it's still there. Then might wanna start look for ways to remove it..
