Yeh the memory controller doesn't use dual channel ram and also its an aging socket type. I agree with dumb dude, go with skt939. More future proof as its teh socket type for the dual core beasts.

You could get similar performance from cheaper ram. I have Geil Value ram and its pretty good, I mean its not extremely fast but its good enough

I'd get some new speakers, new sound card and a gig of fast ram.

got it installed and I have to say.. WOW! Dunno why but it seems to run alot better on my pc (its not great but its better, getting a 7800gt soon so that should help). I love the AI in the game. I have never experienced this before in a game and its so cool! Only a little way through, trying not...

I know the feeling, but hey, you will have a beast of a pc that will blow most of the games you throw at it out of the water! :D

Bet you did! I also can't wait for my 7800gt, Asus A8n-sli mobo and new 500w powersupply which should arrive on monday!!! CAn't wait now, was supposed to be here on thursday but they had a shortage of graphcs cards so I chased them up about it and they dispatched my order today. Shame I didn't...

Are you sure you have the divX codec installed? Also, you could download and try playing it with VideoLAN's VLC player. Its open source & free and supports loads of codecs. You can find it here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Hope this helps.

Goto https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 Then from the menu on the left hand side, choose drivers & Software -> Your operating system -> Gfx card type -> Previous drivers & software. You should find the drivers for a couple of months back...

Whats your budget?

have you tried a reinstall or tried installing wmp10 from the windows update site (if you aren't already using it)

Need to check out this Oblivion game people have been mentioning.

You could always dual boot xp 32bit and xp 64bit and when the trial ends, just format and delete the partition that the 64bit on. That way you will still have your main os and you will be able to try the new one.

I'd say that your hd is on its way out if it was complaining about SMART errors. Back up now while you still can and try and find some programs that test the health of the harddrive. Everest home edition does it I think.

Has anyone tried out the extension that I link to in my sig, I didn't create it, but I just like it and think thats pretty useful so i put it there in hope that people will give it a try. You should give it a try, totally recommend it. Also if there is alittle more activity, the guy that makes...

maybe thats your problem, 1mb of ram.. could do with alittle more than that, nah just joking, i know you mean 1gb. Hmm I'd say you should have a look in the task manager to see if there is anything thats taking up alot of ram or cpu time. also while your there you should google any unknown...

I run microsoft antispyware all the time which provides good protection and I also scan for spyware with the microsoft app, spybot search&destroy and adaware. All 3 are free and will do the job just right. Also I would recommend scanning for spyware & adaware while running windows in safemode...

Sounds like thats the problem.. unlucky. If you want to keep your 9800pro then you could get one of the arctic cooler hsf's for gfx cards. They keep the card really cool while teh fan is very quiet, even when I put it on teh high setting, I can't hear it. Just take your time when you are fitting...

Yeh I heard that Seasonic only make PSU's so they make them from scratch which allows them to have full control over everything making them very effecient and also they seem to be really well priced for what you get. Can't wait for thursday now!

Doesn't really matter about the onboard sound or raid as I will only be using 1 sata port and 1 ide port and I have an audigy 2 zs. Don't use the onboard lan either, well if i do, 1 will be enough. THanks for the input though!

Update, ordered the stuff, should arrive on thursday! Cant wait!!!
