Ok ba ang longhorn na sinasabi mo?

Well grabe pala requiremneg XP 64..1 Gig Ram..

Anyway, sana soon magkaroon ng progs that would make good use of the new 64 bit XP.

 

Longhorn has definitely impressive 3D graphical interface (AVALON). Its good-bye for DirectX and hello WGF (Win Graphical Foundation) - every desktop is rendered 3D. NTFS is now WinFS. And other sorts of innovations and upgrades. And before they release it, better start saving.

[RANT] quite frankly, im not that excited with Longhorn... with MS repu-tation of "bloatware" im still sticking with my Win2K Pro/Linux combo box, my WinXP box is just for games... what I'm really excited about is WINEs' maturing compatibility with most WinDoze apps/games so there would be no more problems with migration (legacy systems). Also most of Longhorns functionality is already in OSX, if you want eye-candy/stability go to OSX (but you pay the price!). For the adventurous, there are lots of Linux flavors to choose from. But for the complacent, you can always give MS your money... [END RANT]

Some Questions to PC Experts

 

Question#1

 

I Need ur info/opinions on the following video cards

I plan to use them for gaming,and am hoping that they will last for the next 2 years or so.

Coz Frankly, the last time I upgraded my video card was about last 2 years ago..

 

Its really to keep up to date..

The ff are:

 

GeForce FX 5500 128MB 128 Bit

GeForce 6200a 128MB 64 Bit

ATI Radeon 9550 128MB 128 Bit

 

8X AGP Lahat Eto

Problem is ganito, 4x Lang kaya ng board ko.

Pano yan,what if sakaling kabit ako ng isa sa mag cards na yan.

What will be the result? Babagal performance? Hinde gagana?

 

Question#2

 

Regarding RAM,

I Plan to buy a 512MB DDR Ram PC400

But,Im not quite sure if my Board will support itIs there a way to know kung

PC 200 or PC300 or what ung RAM chip ko? Unless of course I open my CPU which I seldom do.

Mahirap naman bibili ako tas di compatible diba mahirap na.

 

Last Question

I currently am using a 2 Gig P4 CPU (Kinda Slow,I Know)

But would It be wise to upgrade the processor to a 3++ Gig?

It may be costly but di naman ako mayaman to do so hehe.

Ok lang if I upgrade all esle except the processor?

Iwan ko nalang as is..

Un lang,pag ganun, baka later on....

Some new games and apps would require more prcessor speed eh di mahirap na

 

Need your info and expertise

Thanks!

it all depends on your Motherboards Chipset..

if you happen to have a Dual Channel Memory controller, 200Mhz FSB then

you should be good for at least 5 years, also do you have a serial-ATA port on

your board? if so.. your choice of Harddrives should be SATA for System Drive

and the rest of the connectors for data... as for gaming.. A GF-FX5700 256MB card

is rather cheap right now.. if you wait a little longer go for the FX6600-GT as prices

for PC parts go down..also go for a minimum of 256MB video card... that would keep

you happy with all the pixels you can get from modern games..

Why is 128MB video card not enough? Ask lang

 

If you're using Windows XP and plan on using your box for gaming, then 128 MB of RAM is really not enough. The OS will just consume that much leaving your games with just a few MB of memory. It is common nowadays to use 256 MB of RAM as a baseline but even that is lacking if you're a serious hardcore gamer. :headsetsmiley:

Question 1:

 

Video cards that are 8X will work fine with 4X mobos (it will run at 4X speed). 128MB video card is enough, just increase your pagefile sys.

 

Question 2:

 

Its also alright to use PC400 as long as you set the mobo RAM speed to the highest it can go.

 

Last Question:

Your mobo is old and can not utilize the full potential of a 3.2Ghz Pentium but this CPU can also work with your mobo at lower CPU and FSB speeds as long as the Socket types are the same.

 

 

---- Recommendations:

1. Upgrade your mobo first (I recommend a mobo which is in the middle of the pack in terms of specs and cost as this will enable you to continue upgrade up to 2 years) and you can also use your current peripherals including the CPU (as long as the socket types are the same).

 

2. Upgrade your PSU before adding "juice" consuming peripherals such as graphics card and RAM (you can't run a truck with a 1.6 litre engine, you dig?). I would recommend ENERMAX, HEC and ANTEC of at least 350Watts.

 

3. Then get a RAM or two (256MB the least) and stick it in. I would recommend RAMS with Samsung chips.

 

4. Then stick in a 128MB - 128bit - 400Mhz GPU speed video card you can afford.

 

5. Of course, a big bad ass flat screen CRT monitor capable of displaying the highest resolution your new video card can provide.

 

6. Don't forget to upgrade your sound card and speakers for more intense gaming experience.

I Have 256 DDR Ram only,as it is sa AV palang,FW at mga running processes sa PC Ko,lalo nat XP gamit ko,grabe sobrang lag lagi..

I want to upgrade to a 512 DDR PC400 ram chip,the problem is I dont think pde sa board ko.

Isthere any way to know what type of chipset my board uses?

Like kung PC 200 or PC 400 etc..

Also,I think that my board only uses AGP4X for video card.

Most video cards today use 8X AGP,pano yun?

Problem is,I really want to make a complete upgrade of my pc.

Pero I guess I have to change the board too.

Whats a good mobo nowadays ung budget lang di mahal at pde saksakan ng most cards and ram chips? Thanks
