Gotten a new system due to the old one being half dead. I though it would last a while longer but the ram keep giving me problem and I can’t work on photoshop using 1GB of ram.
New spec is E8400 with mild overclocking done to E8500 + Powercolor Play! HD4850 standby with Powercolor PCS+ HD4670 + Enermax Pro82+ 625W PSU unit + 2GB cheapo Kingston RAM + a Coolermaster to replace the old casing fan as it couldn’t cope with the heat from the HD4850. Down on the luck, the board crap out, 2 trip is needed to CDL to change for a new board. Kudos to Jon from CDL, it was fun xD during the RMA troubleshooting. I meant it, it was fun. Learnt quite a bit of stuff from there and a couple of insider news. Hear this, DO NOT GET WINDOWS VISTA!!! STICK TO YOUR OLD AND TRUSTY WINXP. There is a reason for this.
HD4850 is a power drinker. Nearly a 100w jump during load. (includes the CPU)
Reinstallation is a pain….
