    17inch Laptop recommendations & some questions

    I did some digging online and found that MSI has a model with newer 10th Gen CPU, 2070 super GPU, though 512gb nvme SSD with 1tb sata. But it's £2200. Is this worth it? I can get the Asus for £1650, with same config except the 2060 GPU instead of 2070 super. And I read online that MSI is very...

    Best Gaming Laptop to buy

    Hi everyone. I wanted to buy a new gaming laptop and needed some advice. I did search online but I felt that most websites which listed the best gaming laptops were paid to advertise 1 laptop over the other, and also different websites said different models were the best. So I thought I'd ask on...

    Help with RAM upgrade

    The board only supports 1066/1333 (according to the specs sheet) Here's a link to it: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/50098/intel-desktop-board-dh67bl.html

    Help with RAM upgrade

    Its an ancient board, and probably not an enthusiast board (I honestly don't know what an enthusiast's board is). So, even if I can't change memory settings manually (which I don't know how to), its ok right? It will work? Can I get the 1866 Mhz one or better stick to 1600MHz one?

    Help with RAM upgrade

    Hello everyone! I mainly use my PC for gaming and I have 8 GB RAM (2x4 GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair XMS 3). Games like Just Cause 3 need more RAM and loads slowly due to lack of it. Thus I wanted to upgrade my RAM from current 8 GB to 16 GB. On Amazon, 2x4 GB 1600MHz RAM (Corsair XMS 3) costs...

    RAM for gaming on old system

    Thanks for the info. I did as you said. Bought a 500GB Samsung EVO 850. Created 2 partitions. 80 GB for Windows, 350GB for games. Filled the game drive with games (I've installed steam there & will be installing all steam games in one place). I've only 30 GB left there now. The system seems is...

    RAM for gaming on old system

    Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of buying the Samsung Evo 850. There are 3 options: the 250GB, 500GB & 1 TB SSDs. Which would you suggest? Is it enough to just install Windows to the HDD & the games on the old SATA? Or do I have to install the games on SSD as well? If the latter is true, 250...

    RAM for gaming on old system

    Thank you. Could you direct me to a few of these? I'm seeing SSD 1,2,3 etc and even SSHD (SSD hybrids?). What's the difference between them, which one should I buy? Are all SSDs SATA or is there a non-SATA SSD as well?

    RAM for gaming on old system

    Good to know. So 3 out of 4 slots is out. Thanks. I am confused by that, yes. I did a bit of reading online, and I found out that 1.5v is a better option. I bought the RAM a long time ago, and I guess I didn't know about the voltages then. I just found this RAM in the shop & I knew Corsair was...
