I doubt human perception can tell the differences between those latency figures. I would use whatever is within the proper range at the most affordable cost.

I suggest you go over to New Egg's Power Supply Calculator. Open the pull-down boxes and select what you have; to the right, enter the quantity. The calculator will find the wattage requirements under full load. To get an idea of what your are actually using, pull the AC plug and series connect...

That is a pretty tough question since we don't know what you have now and how well it performs. My best suggestion is to look at your existing CPU, memory, and graphics card and compare them to your purposed new hardware. Then you can take action within the constraints of your budget. Another...

4 DDR II DIMM memory slots (supports up to 4GB memory) Meaning 4GB total. You can put 1GB into each slot or 2GB into each yellow RAM slot. As for type, your MB specifications state "Supports dual channel DDR II 667/533/400 DIMM" so you can probably find something on eBay like DDR2-400 or perhaps...

The IP35 Pro XE will not boot from a flash drive. Suggest you run windows 7, upgrade to 8, then 8.1 and then install Windows 10 from 8.1.

I did an upgrade to IP35 PRO XE and used set of four OCZ DDR2-1066 4GB (2x2GB) which is equivalent to PC2-8500 and it worked fine.

Again, your recent post points to defective electrolytic capacitors. When a fault conditions exists, the period of time when the computer refuses to behave correctly provides time for over-heated parts to cool. Sometimes even though a electrolytic is venting or leaking, it will limp along if...

I'm not aware of any Power Factor Correction capacitors in a computer supply as these are usually found on utility poles to correct the phase relationship between voltage & current. However, if you are concerned with any voltages beyond the typical 5V and 12V, you can always discharge a...

More than likely, you have power supply issues such as poor regulation and/or leaking or bulging electrolytic capacitors. Take a look at the photos at "Capacitor Plague" and note the tops are scored so they can split open and vent. Try obtaining or borrowing another power supply and do the...

The firecracker sound or loud snap sound in addition to smoke is an exploding electrolytic capacitor. Google "Capacitor plague" and read the information and note the photos. Compare to what you actually find inside your computer. Check the motherboard, all plug-in cards, and inside the power...
