My current config is in my sign. I am planning to sell off my sAMSUNG 17" CRT and buy a 22" LCD monitor. I am currently using a eMerge 500VA UPS to power the current system. (1). How much of a power difference would there be between my 17" CRT and a 22" LCD monitor. More or less? And numbers...

2GB of ram would be enough for normal usage, but might not suffice for gaming. Windows 7's XP Mode Requires 2 GB RAM - Tom's Hardware

I am using my old 8600GT for now. Crappy card, but i can get decent fps at low-med settings at 1024*768. Planning to upgrade in March, when I will definitely go for a 4850 minimum, possibly a 4870.

69 views and no replies makes me a sad panda :( Anyways, went ahead and bought X3 720 BE asus M4A785TD-V EVO 2GB TRANSCEND DDR3 500GB SEAGATE 7200.12 VX 450 CM 335 Figured might as well compromise on the 955BE, as I could get a 720BE+32mb cache HDD instead. Systems up and running smoothly...

Hi gang, This is a config request, but not putting in the request format, because of the query below. On a 26k budget for CPU+MOBO+2GB RAM+CABINET+PSU, which is better for gaming - (1). 955 BE + my 2 year old 2mb cache HDD, (OR) 720BE + new 32mb cache HDD The prices work out...

Its an okay timepass, nothing more, nothing else. Titan Quest was waaaayyy better, gameplay wise. Nothing comes close to D2 for the sheer storyline and immersiveness, I still play it casually now and then. If only I could get the game in a higher resolution!! Torchlight was made by some of the...

My bad, the 5970(grr damn numbers) :rofl: Thanks for the reply!

Thanks guys for the replies :hap2: Guess that puts things in perspective. CM 590 is the way to go, unless someone can suggest something cheaper, reason being I would like to go for a 5890 maybe like a year-year and a half from now.

Yeah, I know, thats precisely why i asked question # 2 :bleh:

Couple of questions for you guys - (1). Due to budget limitations, which is better to game at 16xx resolution, X4 620 + 4850 (or) X3 720 BE + 9800 GT (or) X4 955 BE + 9600 gt/4670 I understand that some games are optimized for multicores, while others aren't. Nevertheless...

Worst case, if it doesn't give me backup, ill upgrade to a 650 VA one. Comp(650va) + tv(150-200va) + light/fans etc will still be less than the 1 kva max allowed. And as said earlier, I only need like 30s backup for the generator to kick in.

I have a CFT 500W psu currently with 27A on 12v. I am planning to go for a X4-620 + 9800GT/equivalent combination. Lets hope neither the PSU nor the UPS let me down :bleh: Waiting for fermi to release, will be using mu 8600 GT for now.

Hi gang, I have an emerge 500 VA UPS running A64 3200+,8600gt,A8N-VM, 2GB DDR1, 1 HDD, 1 DVD R/W, printer/scanner/copier combo & 17" CRT. Backup is basically low, maybe a minute max. But it doesn't affect me much, as my apartment has 1KVA backup, which kicks in within 20s. If i...

Found this discussion.. CM690+HD5970=Ooooh, that's not gonna fit. - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net Looks like the 590 is better, not to mention less expensive by a few hundred bucks.

True, but it's either a hit or a miss. Don't think the seller would let us search in his shop for the right number :P

Will it be able to run a 720BE/955BE + 4850? It shows 44 amp on 12v rail, but 324/12 = 27A. Actual might be lower i guess. Does 4850 need more than that to run safely?

If it works for now with 8600gt, it should suffice. I have no immediate plans for upgrade to 5850, maybe at best a 4670/4850. Corsair VX 450 OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS: Corsair VX450W AC Input 90-264VAC, 5-9A, 47-63Hz DC Output +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5VSB Maximum Output...

Hi Gang, I have attached an image ss of my PSU below. It was bought from a friend's friend a year back after my generic mercury psu died. This PSU is currently powering Athlon 3200+ single core, asus mobo, 2 gb ddr ram, 8600gt, 1 hdd,17" CRT monitor. I have plans to upgrade my...

See, if I buy it now, i can pass off the price of the gfx card, since its part of a combo . If I buy sepately with a monitor, it would be hard for me to justify the price to my wife :bleh: I would rather spend like 30k now, 3k for ram later, 10k for monitor then, and move on to new HDD and stuff.
