Andrew, unfrotunately no I can't get you a key :D I was one of the first 2000 to activate my beta key when Kane's Wrath was released, hence how I got in. You are welcome to come round for a gander if you wish... Might even be able to hook you up with my key for you to play, so long as you aren't on when I want to get on :worship:

Managed to become part of the Red Alert 3 beta for anyone who cares. Pretty fun and the whole naval base building adds a whole new twist to things, pretty good so far IMO

ey mate yea i got in to, havnt started playin yet have been busy building some computers for people. Hopefully get onto it on the weekend. How is it any good??

guys what do you think of this build??

i've had my pc for over 3 years now and i think it's time for an upgrade. i figure i'll keep the same case, burner, keyboard, mouse, and probably move a hdd over.

please tell me asap as i'll go pick it up from all needs in the morning.

GA-EP45-DS4P $191

INTEL E8500 $210

WD WD6400KS 640 GB $94

cORSAIR TWIN2X4096-6400c5 4GB $139

Thermaltake TR2 RX 550W $97

Gigabyte HD4870 512mb $366

ohh also am i able to take my current vista home premium OEM and install in on the new pc without any hassles? what i mean is will it still activate as it's a totally different pc or will it be all good?

thanks.

parts are fine , only thing id change is the PSU , get a corsair HX620 , better quality and it is modular

Nice setup apart from the PSU.

Corsair or Seasonic PSU. They are the same thing.

The 640AAKS is a very quick drive. :blink:

Hmm went and bought it all on Saturday along with a 21.6 inch samsung monitor.

Awesome setup love it.

Also decided to get two of the hdd and am running them in RAID0 muhhaahaha so fast.

On the case of the power supply it is modular, and it seems to have more than enough juice for everything so far.

Crysis at 1650x1080 everything set to "High" and i get a constant framerate of 45-50.

^^^ That's an awesome rig you've put together, it's near identical to mine :)

GA-EP45-DS3R

Intel C2D E8400

Seagate 7200.11 500GB+750GB

OCZ Platinum 8500 (1066Mhz) 4GB

Seasonic S12+ 650W PSU

Nvidia GB 8800GS -> soon to be HD4870 of some sort

im running this on my desktop... got a couple others about but this one is slightly moar interesting

GA-M56S-S3

AMD X2 6000+

Kingston 1G 800 (four of em)

Gigabyte 8800gt (512)

WD 1TB 7200 (got three of em)

WD Raptor 150G (bootdrive)

Antec Neo Power 550W

also have two LG W2252TQ's (22" widescreen 2ms)

gonna get better ram next

any suggestions?

Sticking with the stock frequencies for your mobo - kralster's Corsair TWIN2x4096-6400C5 PRO 4GB would be an obvious choice or OCZ Platinum-PC2 6400 4GB (2x2GB). Also, both should have reasonable potential if you plan to OC.

cheers, i'm leaning towards corsair... probably not gonna OC it, just gonna leave it stock and stable

hey everyone, im going to upgrade my ram in the next couple of days and im after some advice. currently it has 2 512MB PC3200 sticks in it. im debating whether or not to just put another 2 in there to get 2 gig of total RAM or swap them all out for single 1gig sticks so i have a total of 4 gig of RAM.

now my FSB is 800Mhz so what are the advantages of upgrading to a higher speed ram as well?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
