I was talking about the 2nd line... and why wouldn't it turn on?
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
Still don't know what you're talking about.
It wouldn't turn on because motherboards can be very picky about RAM.
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
lol, PC2-3200? Ouch :-3
Go with the whole new set of ram and run it alone...
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
His motherboard can use PC-5300. But yes that was what I was telling him, get a new set of RAM.
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
haha alright.
I heard something about some OEM motherboards not allowing CPU upgrades? Have you heard anything about that? Or is the person I heard it from just a silly little child?
Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
I know i've asked before, but would my processor bottleneck my computer to the point that buying an HD4850 wouldn't make a significant increase in performance over what I already have (7600GS)? And, is there any point in spending $50 more on a card from a different company?

No, they just make it pain in the ass. Dell for example, puts a hugeassed heatsink covering where the CPU is. To replace it you need to bolt open the damn thing and then put it back in after your done.

It'll be much faster, and you can max out all of your games at native resolution, most with AA.

It should, but it would opperate at a lower clock speed..
