That looks so nice, its just so smooth and funky Gareth defiantely has the one on the left in the link i showed you but a Laptop version, its the same one though
It looks different, but is it the same Spec as the one in that link?
Kornowski wants the Amperage on the +12 volt rail. Look for a number followed by A or amps next to the +12 volt rail on the side of your PSU. It's possible you have more than one +12 volt rail so list all the amps
You need a new powersupply the 8800 will absolutely kill that powersupply that you have now.
Wouldnt he need a better processor than the Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ 2.20 Ghz because wouldnt it cause a bottleneck if he was getting a 8800?
Yes but if he were to get that card I would upgrade the powersupply first. There will be a bottleneck but you will still be able to play games pretty damn good with that card.
No......wait, why are you guys putting an 8800 with an A64 3500+? I sense bottleneck.
OK screw it Here is a pic of the sticker on the side of me PSU (memo to self, dont knock Sata HDD cable while Box is open, BSODs arent very nice)

This should tell you everything!!!

It will be a bottleneck but it wont be that bad he will still be able to play games maxed out just not on the highest resolutions. But he has 3 GB of ram which should help even out that bottleneck.
As I suspected, the PSU is no-where near enough!
I totally agree with that, it'd be a huge bottleneck!
You can't keep trying to 'boost' your PC's performance, especially an 8800 with PC3200 RAM![]()
The difference between DDR1 RAM and DDR2 isn't that much.. His PC3200 is still good RAM for gaming. There will be a bottleneck but it won't be huge as you think. For PSU's any on this page would be sufficient (taken from Praetor)
