    choosing a graphics card

    Make sure you match any GPU with your PSU. Most prebuilt computers have only enough power to run them at stock configurations and a new GPU will probably take at least 350 Watts.

    Opteron or X2

    I am going to rebuild my system about July and am now trying to choose the right CPU. I have been leaning toward the Opteron 165 because I like overclocking, but have recently been told that the NEW 165's are now locked to prevent O/C, any truth to that? I plan on using either a DFI or MSI mobo...

    Base components advice

    Well it's time to build a new rig. CPU; opteron 165 will be oc'd Mobo: MSI Neo4 platinum or ? GPU: 7900gt, 7900gtx, X1800xt, X1900xt or xtx. I don't think I will ever use an SLI or Crossfire configuration. I don't like Asus, I do like Abit, MSI and DFI Will be running OCZ Gold 2 x 512 for now...

    stuck with 305 watts. What GPU

    I need to upgrade a Sony that has 305 watts and would like advice on which ones will work at 305. I've been doing a lot of googling about this but minimum wattage requirments are very sparse even at the mfg sites.

    PSU for Sony

    I need to install a larger PSU in a Sony VGCRB-43 in order to run a good graphics card. Does antone know if the Sony has a proprietary PSU or will a srandard ATX PSU fit and work ok?

    Opteron vs. Athlon

    The 250 is correct but I think the same price for a 165 is much better. I have found out that the 165 will o/c to fx57 specs for a lot less.

    Opteron vs. Athlon

    I am going to build another computer for gaming and have a question or two about processors. I am thinking about using the Opteron 250 or the Athlon 64 4000 single core. Is there any benefit in gaming applications of one cpu over the other? I will probably o/c. I will be using OCZ Gold 2x512...

    new parts, now slow???

    I guess I have to bone up on RAM settings and adjust, I have it set to spd for now. The old RAM was 3500 and the new is 3200 so suppose there's a difference there but I was hoping that going from 512 to 1 gig would make up the difference. Any recommendations on ram settings to try?? The only...

    new parts, now slow???

    I had to replace my Abit IC7G with a new one (same) and now I cannot overclock the way I used to. I was able to run my 2.4 at 3.0 or more and now cannot o/c at all without black screen. I ahve also replaced my old Geil 512 with new OCZ Gold 2x512 and my 3dmark scores have fallen by about 30%...

    new ram killed my machine

    Thanks all for the comments. I have reset Bios to all stock config and still nothing. I have reset all cables, reset cmos, removed and reinstalled vid crd. Anyone think the Ram may be fried? Does the OCZ really take that much more power? Looks like a new psu is first change?
