    Memory upgrade - help with choices

    thanks for the response. i don't understand your recommendation though because you seem to contradict yourself by recommending a quality RAM. if performance doesn't come into it why wouldn't i buy some cheap stuff or not upgrade to 2Gb at all? (reason below) performance is relative, so...

    Memory upgrade - help with choices

    i have an HP Mini 5101 netbook that came with 1Gb RAM. i was going to upgrade to 2Gb; should i choose based on price/convienience or is there some added performance to be achieved by being more discerning? the Atom bus is 533MHz and i have plenty of RAM choice around 667 and 800. will my...

    Which chipset for my new build?

    I had eliminated them because of the reported gains of X4500/X4500HD over the X3500. Im also suspecting it will be worthwhile in a year or two to have PCIe 2 over 1.1. I keep my boards that long but update the GPU, usually. Sometime in the coming months, i have heard, there should be...

    Which chipset for my new build?

    G45 seems to be even better for me than P45, P43 as it has IGP. Ive decided I would really like another mATX (with or without IGP) and i have an inkling that it will be more likely to happen with the G45. (P35 on mATX is still rare!) Ive thought that because of my limited feature needs...

    Which chipset for my new build?

    thanks for the input. i agree that P45 is probably the way to go. nice and new i have some time to choose so i will be digging around and trying to get this P45 on an mATX board :/ looking at the chipset features i would probably end up with a more likely mATX from the P43. is this...

    Which chipset for my new build?

    Which chipset for my new build? For several years up until my most recent PC I have been on an AMD processor/nVidia chipset/nVidia discrete GPU platform. Due to Intel and ATi being way ahead of AMD and nVidia at the moment I want to change to a C2D processor with an ATi discrete GPU...
