The Computer Megathread

I don't understand. 8GB > 2x2GB, but will it be better that way? hmm

It's 4x2 right now but they are random DDR2 sticks so they run single channel at only 800, but if I pull those two other sticks out the other two will run together in dual channel plus at 1066. So, faster RAM or more?

Decent.
Are you able to stretch to this:

?

Yeah, I think my dad will be fine with it. I've got the 10 extra for him.

Anyone willing to help me with a custom build under/around $1100?
I don't need peripherals, harddrive or a case.
Dont worry, trying myself

The screen problem, it didn't work D:

Now I have another problem.

It has been like this for a long time.

I think that's the neutral cable out of his mains plug.

aaaaaah computer still can't turn off.

the header things you mentioned seem to be in the right place. when i turn it on the LED lights on the case come on.

how about this? i don't really even know if all the parts are compatible or not, but that's what i could come up with from australian shops, 850 all up

You'd want better than that for $1100. Even in aus, where stuff is expensive.
But yes, everything was compatible.

that's 850 all up

anything i should improve?

[KoopaScooper]

If you're just looking for performance, go with AMD graphics. If you're looking for detail, as in 16xQQ anti-aliasing and such, go Nvidia.

[Böltster]

is there anything i should improve in that build (for the same cost)? or do you think i should run with that one?

Probably don't want an h67 mobo, a z68 is better
