yeah pretty sure that both cores are working!

i always look at the task manager to make sure of that. thanks for the concern bad_brain! BTW i really like your site man! pretty cool!

Post by **bad_brain** » 24 May 2009, 10:42

if both cores show up in task manager it's fine, in the old BIOS versions only 1 core was displayed...

and thanks, I am glad you like it....but it's not "my" site, it's ours, without all the fine people here it would be nothing...

ei people... you see this friend of mine wants to trade his 2 Sticks of PQi 1GB DDR2 800 RAM with my 2 sticks of Kingston 1GB DDR2 667 RAM. i asked him why wud he want to do that since my RAM is lower than his. he said that he just wants the brand kingston in his machine. i just want to get an opinion from you guys on what you think about the brand PQi and if i shud accept the trade and give up my kingston for a PQi. i have tested his RAM on my machine ran a RAM benchmark on it with pc wizard and everything seems to be fine and doing ok. i'm asking for your opinion cuz PQi is not a well known brand here in the Philippines. in fact i barely even know the brand and how long has it been in business. i checked they're website though it said that pqi was established in 1997 in taiwan. just give your opinion guys. thanks in advance.

nice hiper, the AMD x2 64 6000+ 3.11GhZ CPU seems to be pretty popular (using it too), there is also one with 3.0 GhZ (also named X2 6000+) with a different core and more L2 cache (2x1mb instead of 2x512kb), but the 3.11GhZ one is still the better option imo because it only needs 89 Watts instead of 125.

Pong, I checked some reviews about different PQi RAM modules and found nothing negative. if all works right (don't just boot, also challenge the RAM a little by playing a game for example) I see no reason not to switch.
I also have never heard of PQi before, but it seems not to be an "actually-no-name" manufacturer....

thanks for the advice bad_brain! i have exchange the RAM i now use the PQi from my friend nothing seems to have changed in speeds tho. anyways i tried playing some heavy games like NFS Prostreet, Devil May Cry 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, and left 4 dead. i played for 5 hours and Everything went well. i also kept my machine turned on for 24hours and it was still stable.

Always buy more watts than you need, you should probably buy something close to 1000watts this time around, that way you can always reuse it in a new system down the road.

Pong18 · Post by **Pong18** » 01 Jun 2009, 03:13

having read ur reply i started looking for a 1k watts psu. i was unable to find 1. highest available is 650watts in the meantime. i bought 600watts. i have no more budget for the 650 twas branded so it was expensive.

Post by **DNR** » 01 Jun 2009, 11:08

Pong I used to build servers - the 650w should be fine.
If you need to have a RAID or external storage, web/FTP server - build another PC and network them.

well the 650 was branded and expensive and its the only available in the 650watts plane. the brand was gigabyte and had a price tag of Php3,800.00 compared to 600watts ZENO that had a price tag of only Php550.00. i am dreaming of buying it tho.
