Rep Power: 5      |  New configuration... Hey all. I wanted something special for my present this year. Yeah, that is right. I was saving some money to buy me self a new configuration, as well the OS (going on Vista 64x soon  )...So here is what I hope to upgrade till, lets say 10th of January...  MB: nForce4M-A v3.0 (DC) to (QC) same Elite group MB PRO: Amd Althon 4600+ (DC) to Amd Phenom 9600+ (QC) OS: Windows XP 32bit to Windows Vista 64bit I have achieved the OS so far, but this next MB and PRO are going to cost me a lot  ... Now I posted this thread just to see if any of you have a better idea, or have a smarter choice for me, please tell me... C&C&Q are always welcome.  Thank you, cheers  |

Rep Power: 5 | Well, I hope this will speed up my whole configuration... I bought my graphic card long ago, and wasted a lot of money on it, and now I am still happy with it. You may have seen it in my configuration, it is nVidia 8800 GTS with 640mb GDDR3 ram... I wasted around 710 euros ... And that is not all, my sister bought the same one 2 days after me  , so now you calculate... lol  Cheers

Rep Power: 5 | Well, my friend suggested some program for backup and got it but idk if it is going to work for me because I am changing form XP to Vista... The program is called Acronis True Image Echo 9.5 Build 8076... I have it but I didn't even try it. Don't know if it is of any good. But maybe some of you are familiar with this program and can tell me if it can 'transfer' from XP to Vista... (I might as well try it  )Anyway, I have never tried 64x, can some one tell me the difference between 32x and 64x? Some friends of mine told me that it is the real thing, is it really true? TNX in advance guys on reply... This might be my big life change that i expected... |

Rep Power: 5 | 32bit can only handle properly like, i think, 4gb total memory. xp32bit isn't well adapted to multicore cpus either. i personally think it's faster too. |

Rep Power: 5 | It says 3.25Gb of ram in my system... But I have 4  I read somewhere that 64x are capable of working with do you know how much memory?... Damn I get always so edgy when computers are the theme... Yeah, 160Gb of ram, you heard me right 160... .....I mean Damn, b*tch... XD Anyway, I think that is not correct information, but I think that it is very close to it... Ok, I'm gone to sleep now... Bye  Cheers  |

Rep Power: 5 | I have a problem. I have moved to vista few days ago and everything was fine until today. I haven't changed a thing in my configuration yet still it has problems. Just few moment ago I noticed that my rear speakers are not working. I thought that was driver that was old or not for vista, then I started looking for better driver and installed something witch wasn't it and he (my computer) cut off my sound lol. Then I assumed that he would find the proper driver for that and I let him find one, and he did and I got back where I started... I checked on speakers by switching them form back to front line and they are ok... I even boot my XP witch is still active and played something and they are ok... So... There must be something wrong with the vista. Can someone help on this one, please? |
