New PC

[Sucre]

Hey guys i got new PC after spending my time at home work ,jobs ,grand mother presents i got the money

Any ways let's see the parts:

graphic card: GeForce 8800  SSC 1GB

Intel core quad 2.50 Ghz 1066 MHz q6800

2g ram

Mother board : GA-P35-DS3L

Basically that's the most in portent parts

What do you guys say?

[Rev]

Thats great!  How much HDD you got now?
Oh and by the way, how much did you buy the 8800 for? im thinking of getting it.

Wow 1GB graphics card cool

Nice setup. I ought to have waited for a bit. I got a Sapphire HD2900 Pro 512MB at Christmas. I've been messing with it a lot though. It's now using an XT bios, and I've tweaked the fan settings on it so it runs cooler. All well and good except the noise... it's indescribable. Luckily I'm getting the new Accelero Xtreme 2900.

They have an 8800 version, so I'd suggest it if you overclock your card, I'm pretty sure it works on both the G80 and G92 boards.. It's passive but case temperatures don't increase substatially. Only problem is it needs three slots. I think it's worth it.

Thank you for that ill see what i can do BTW how do i  get more than 3ghz out of it?

awesome O_O send me your pc srsly

OK first you have to understand what overclocking is.

Overclocking is forcing a component to do more than the manufacturer's original specification. In my case, Intel set the clock speed to 2.33GHz. However, more modern PCs have the ability to be overclocked built into them. Overclocking comes in a few forms, but for a CPU, you have to increase the Front Side Bus (or FSB) frequency. Unfortunately, raising this clock not only raises the clock of the CPU, but also of your memory. This is one of the main limits when overclocking. Also, overclocking can reduce the life of your component, but usually it's fine. Life loss usually occurs when you overvoltage (which is pumping more volts into the component). So I wouldn't worry too much about your CPU dieing.

Now, there are two factors in overclocking the CPU. The FSB, and the multiplier on your CPU. The FSB in my case originally was 333MHz. The multiplier, 7. To work out your clock speed, you multiply. 333*7 = 2331. Now to increase your clock speed, you must increase the FSB speed. Mine is clocked at something like 443. 443*7 = 3101.

So it is quite simple, until you factor in your memory. Depending on your memory, you can get different speeds. In my rig I run two sticks of DDR2 800Mhz memory. To get the clock at which your memory is running, you simply double your FSB frequency. In my case, my memory is running at 886MHz. Most memory modules can handle a 10% overclock. Mine manages to go a little further.

So basically, you push the limits of your hardware and make an even more powerful rig. There are drawbacks however. Push it too far, your system will be unstable and crash randomly during use. Also, with higher clock speeds come higher temperatures. I believe this is how most manufacture's decide what chip is what .

(Interesting tidbit, on an ATI HD2900 GPU, if it meets a certain temperature range while running at a certain clock speed, it goes to a 2900XT, if it fails the test and runs slightly hotter, it's clocked down and placed in a 2900Pro).

But, the advantages weigh up differently to the individual. A better CPU means (I couldn't believe this) better graphics. Not sure how, but it does.

But looking over your specs again, I wouldn't overclock. You have four cores, each running at two and a half gigs, which is more than enough for any game (including Crysis) out at the moment. I'd leave it as it is, your PC is already powerful enough. In a year or two, maybe it would be an idea to start overclocking it. But as I said, your PC is more than capable of handling the most demanding applications.

If you want to go ahead and overclock say so and I'll give you some links etc. on how to do it. I could even help you on messenger.

As far as I know, graphics cards are only there to handle the graphics side of things. They do all the textures, colors etc.

Of course, because the graphics card does not have a processor, it cannot do all the maths and processing for the game to run, so this is sent to the CPU.

This is the reason why a lot of people saw hope in the Pshyics Cards you can now by, as they take the straing off the processor.

If I'm wrong, someone tell me please.

You got the right idea.

Well, OK, what I meant was an increase in graphical performance. At Christmas I got my new card and it ran at around 40fps in 3D Mark. After getting my new CPU etc. the performance increased to 70fps. So I guess what I meant was an increase in FPS, not graphical quality. Sorry about that, wasn't clear.

All right BJ' ill PM you my MSN if you want to help me i think i want to increase my PC  a   bit

thanks for you support

Maybe i could edit awesome videos
