Hey all, need your help one more time! I went to the shop and they asked 2 things i had no idea about:
Motherboard Speed (in Mhz) and Power supply (in W). Using the CPU-Z program that Qbah recommended i fiddled with it a bit but i can't find that information. COuld someone assist please?

Help in advance!

Motherboard speed? He probably means memory speed. Your mobo has FSB 266MHz with that Q6700, but that's hardly relevant with memory dividers.

Anyway, PC2-6400 is 800MHz, PC2-8500 is 1066MHz. Open up CPU-id, go to Memory and there's a line that says DRAM Frequency. The store person probably wants to sell you memory with the same speed as your current one. Check the number you have now, multiply by 2 and you will get your current memory speed.

As for your PSU, you will need to open your computer. Total power will be written on a sticker on the PSU. But a HD5770 doesn't really use much power. A quality 350W or more will suffice. 400W+ to be safe perhaps. But check it out and tell us. Also the brand.
