Ok guys pick a 2x 1gig stick pack that will run with the motherboard i picked above from the attached list :D

Or should I just get this bundle pack - http://www.nintek.com.au/x/scripts/prodVie...?idproduct=4513

Its the same mainboard but with OCZ PC4000 Gold GX XTC 2GB Kit (2x1GB 2048Mb) DDR500 ram included :P

my mate would and his pc keep rebooting every time he tried to play games so... i just buy faster parts rather than oc slower 1's to the faster speeds

Which is why you run the 3 programs I listed. It shows you were the limit of your hardware is without having to stumble around with reboots etc. :P

Usually reboots are caused by the ram, he was most likely running it way out of spec without enough voltage or the timings were too tight.

Push the cpu too hard and the system generally just locks, push the vid cards gpu too hard and it will lock, push the vid cards mem too hard and it will display artefacts, eventually leading to a lock. :D

Thats 'generally' how it works, do one thing at a time and individually so you know where the limits of that item are.

CPU, RAM then VID.

I'm not sure how that model of asus board overclocks. Head over to www.overclockers.com.au forum.

Basically you select the parts to suit each other.

If you want a feature rich motherboard such as the gigabyte then select pc3200 as the gigabytes in the 'past' are known for not being great overclockers.

ABIT, DFI and ASUS in the past have been awesome overclockers.

I'm all for overclocking.. I haven't had to upgrade my system in 3.5years it still is what I consider to have decent CPU power as it runs at 3200+ speeds. :P

If it were running at its stock speed of 2100+ well erm yer sloooooow.

Note I said in the past gigabyte were known for rich features but not so good overclock. still good but not as insane as some of the othes. :D

I have no idea where they are at now, I can't be buggered researching. :P

That Matts systems has a huge range of Motherboards.. A little exxy though.

RE: The Asus board.

This is a nice feature..

AI NOS™

Boost performance when you need it the most!

Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of system resource. Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS™ (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects system load and automatically boosts performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS™ reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds .

Fast and furious style. lol

Well everyone.

Picked up my XBOX460 last night and so far i am very very impressed.

Having never owned an xbox before (i prefer japanese style games) i must say it is worth every dollar.

The new main menu system is so intuitive.

And now you can have multiple "gamer tags" what this means is when i use the 360 i load up my gamer tag and all my settings and everything are all done. So when i play a game i can only access my save data. So there is no confusion with my brothers as to who's save is who's.

Also i plugged my Ipod in the front with the USB and can listen to all the songs on it and control it all with the remote control which is awesom.

If anyone is thinking of getting one i would cos it's awesome.

I'm playing it through my parents 10 year old 51cm hitachi >_<, they have a sony 68 in the lounge and i have the old one.

It certainly looks better than ps2 or gamecube but my tv doesn't do it justice.

For 49 bucks though you can buy VGA cables for the 360 so i might just get that and run it through my 17inch LCD which will be much better.

I want to get a new tv but i'd rather spend the money on the car.

Well i got the VGA cable and played through GRAW again and it's just amazing. Like playing a whole new game. The graphics are incredible. Well worth the money if anyone is thinking of picking on up.

Also i was thinking of getting a new graphics card but thought about it a bit and realised that with vista coming out end of the year or early next year with directx 10 i will probably be better off waiting till nvidia and ATi release dx10 compatible cards. Any thoughts?

yes i agree hold off until then but if u cant w8 just get a middle of the road card

i really wasnt blown away by GRAW i thought COD2 looks just as good if not better

the Crysis movies look good and is Dx10

Crysis 720p Trailer

I heard that vista wasnt all it was meant to be, according to some reviews on OCAU....i might stick with xp for now, and move over to vista later...

I cbf waiting for any new releases when buying my new comp gear in a couple of weeks. Something new is always coming, so whatever you buy will only last a certain amount of time anyway.

Yeah i can't imagine it being any worse.

I mean it'll be used in all new pc's and be in almost everyhome in the world with a computer so i can't imagine microsoft making it worse.

I'm buying it cos through dads work i can get it at corporate prices.

For example i got office 2003 last week for 100 bucks instead of retail of 280. Thats for profesional that is.

Also madaz i know COD2 has better graphics but i think the gameplay is much better in GRAW.

I finished COD2 on pc last year and i personally wasn't as blown away as when i played the first COD. Or more recently FEAR.

I have to agree.... FEAR is a half arsed decent game.

Definitely a different approach to a FPS.

I have the DVD version with an extra couple of vids on it, one of them is plain creepy, first time I saw it I had the head phones one watching, the creepy aspect of it made my spine tingle. :cheers:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
