Hello, a few days ago I've been gifted this laptop (except that mine is 4gb). http://www.amazon.co.uk/eMachines-Notebook-Pentium-Processor-Windows/dp/B004H1T66M I know it's not for gaming, but I cant go and change/sell the laptop :sarcastic: I have no knoweledge in mobile chips. So, if I...

If I were you I'd wait till the HD6xxx series come out, and then buy the HD5850 because the price will come down for sure. HD5850 is a great card by itself, and if you plan on overclocking, it will be as fast as a HD5870. If you really care about physx I'd rather get a cheap physx card than buy...

I had a 7900gs as well and ran COD4 with no problem. Check the temps it reaches under load. If they are high that's probably the problem. Else you GPU could be dying. Also, did you overclock the card?

I had a 7900gs before and an hd4200 now on my mobo. I used to play at 1280x800 with medium/high settings with no problem. HD4200 is a bit better. So I'd say try wow on your current setup. If your sarisfied with the resolution and fps, keep it. Else upgrade both gpu and psu.

Those are two different CPUs. If you will just use it for what you said (web browsing, school work, online video, music) an i5 650 is better for those tasks. But if you plan on using image/audio/video editing programs later than stick with the phenom. Also, do you plan on upgrading soon? If you...

I don't understand what pheinzig is trying to tell you with "Your GPU will severely bottle neck this game" since it makes no sense. Anyway, that configuration should be fine. I get more than 30fps (don't remember how many, but it was fluid and I got a good score) with my hd4890 at 1920*1080 in...

Hello, right now I'm running a pair of samsung ram 2x2gb 533 (1066) mhz CL7. I overclocked my cpu so my ram overclocked as well, right now is running stable at 800 (1600) mhz 8 9 9 25 Is it worth buying a new ram 800 (1600) mhz CL7? Will I see some boost in performance or something like 1-2%...

That psu should be good enough. Of course we can't guarantee it. It "could" fry the board the board if it's really cheap quality, but I highly doubt. But most probably the system will be unstable and you will have random shutoffs. Still if you are worried about it get the gts 250, since it uses...

^^^ +1. That gpu is equal to the 4850 and has 512mb extra ram just in case you want to game at 2560*1600.
