OSalcido Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 should go with the 3200+ for like 10 dollars more for power supply i'd say FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX400-PN ATX12V 400W Power Supply - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817104953 Link to post Share on other sites
bigchrome Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 And that ram is a little crappy, it has high latencies. Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 i dont think he be overclocking because he realy doesint know much about computers he does know how too use them but i meen hardware wize. i got too ask him about the motherboard because he realy like that asrock motherboard. and i got a old one asrock k7vm4 and it runs stong sence i got it 3yrs ago. i just want something soild and have no problems and get maybee some oc out of it. and shouldint that new asrock overclock more than my k7vm4? the k7vm4 overclocks from 1.6ghzs too 2.1ghzs stable. and for the ram again is there ram for the same price? that is better?

bigchrome Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 This ram is slightly more expensive, but probably worth it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145450 Also WD drives aren't great, go with two differently branded drives in RAID (Seagate are great) Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 ok i gess he will go with that ram. but why you say wd aint good? because i got wd in my 2 machines in my sig with no problems at all and they both all most full and still fast. i even got a 5year old 20gb 7200rpms still runing fast and with no problem.

bigchrome Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 WD seem to be slightly slower than the competition (noiseier too) and the only drives I have ever had fail are WD. To their credit they are a bit cheaper though. Link to post Share on other sites

bigchrome Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I had a Seagate before this and when I sent my computer for repair HP changed it for a WD one. My parents wouldn't let me complain so I'm stuck with this until I upgrade! Link to post Share on other sites
Rev. Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 If he isnt a benchmark fiend, and if he doesnt OC then get him the value RAM and a slightly faster CPU. He will NEVER see the difference between CAS 2-3. Get him these, I have them in my wife's PC...CAS 2.5 Link to post Share on other sites
mariol90 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I had a Seagate before this and when I sent my computer for repair HP changed it for a WD one. My parents wouldn't let me complain so I'm stuck with this until I upgrade! Companies don't always use one HD manufacturer, and they won't always have the same one available.My aunt's seagate is a lot louder than my WD drives. You can hear the read/write head moving (without trying). My WD drive is faster than my seagate also. If i format both, the WD is still a bit faster (1-2 MB/s). I agree with the people above on the RAM. Also, 2 sticks are usually cheaper, and you can use dual channel. Link to post Share on other sites
bigchrome Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I would definately think your WD is an exception. Almost everyone here looking for help (non hard drive related) has a WD drive that scores around 52-53mb/s, you rarely see Seagates that don't get 55mb/s, agreed this is not very noticeable in the real world, but, My drive is very inconsistant, and mostly scores under 38mb/s, the same is true of my friends' hard drives!
