pkblade Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Usually 2 sticks are marginally quicker & puts less strain than using 4 slots of equivalent memory. Personally, I’d go with any 2GB kit (2x1GB), doubt you’d regularly utilise more than 3GB of memory with your current system. With the exception of overclocking, there's no real benefit going with faster RAM frequency than what your mobo can support or CPU FSB & in your case that's 400Mhz (assuming you have DDR2 & P4 or better). Although, RAM is quite cheap now so there’s no harm in getting the best 4GB (2x2GB) you can afford, as they are backwards [frequency] compatible & you can always use it in your next system - provided AMD mobo’s don’t also start pushing for DDR3 to become mainstream anytime soon .

Madaz Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 does anyone know can i connect a USB PC gamepad to a xbox 360 and have it work? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/100/#findComment-4072300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kralster Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 No madaz it will not. Your best choice for gaming with a controller on both 360 and PC is to buy a microsoft WIRED xbox360 controller. They are a great controller and work really well on PC. You can buy the wireless xbox360 controller but then you will also need the wireless receiver.

pkblade Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 pkblade when u getting ya 4870??? Finally got it on Tues ...went with the MSI's OC version, pretty happy with it so far. Although while I was DL the latest driver I noticed MSI have already released the HD4870X2 OC . Might wait for prices to go down, currently they're priced $650-750.

Cubes Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 So who uses VoIP? I've been with MyNetFone for quite some time now and really can't fault their service. Signed up via the MyNetFone whingepool/whirlpool offer. $4.95 per month for 60 free national calls untimed then 10c untimed national and 15c per minute per second billing. We don't use the phone a great deal but still manage to save a good $80 per month as we often make national and mobile calls. I'm on the Home Line Budget $19.95 Helstra plan with ADSL2+ from Internode. For those that are shopping ensure you run a quick traceroute to the sip server you are looking at to ensure the routing isn't stupid from where you are located. MyNetFone from Internode in Adelaide is ~40ms away with a traceroute you couldn't improve. Don't buy an ATA device that plugs in to your modem as a lot of modems suffer what is known as a NAT bug; splash out another $40 or so and buy an All in one modem/router/wireless/voip box. Preferably a billion 740x as they work well and are easy to configure.

I'm also on node adsl2+ wit homeline plus i had a free zyxel ata that i procured from work.... the GUI is completely counter-intuative on those things did get delays tho, i tested it bay haveing a mobile fone convo at the same time... it was noticeable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/100/#findComment-4079854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
