Computer requrements and Upgrades?

[VioletSkye]

Heh, thats because they want you buying their totally over-priced components

BTW, nice PSU you linked to Jack. I really like modulars and that looks like a great mid-level mod psu

lol this started for me as a one thing upgrade and as i learned more about hardware it became an obsestion now im going all out lol ill have one of the most power full Dell computers around o.o.... note. I did say dell and not computer in general.

Also for those of us who would think surround sound would be nice but doubt they could afford it. I think you will be very very supprised. Many 5.1 systems go for 35$ and up... You should make sure the back of your computer has a BLACK AND YELLOW speaker slot in addition to the green one. IF you dont you can buy sound cards dirt cheap since it takes no power to run sound...

Just look threw all of Sound Blasters line up they are a very high quality card. I have had Great experience with it.

I was able to get an Audigy 4 for only ten quid. Quite the bargain, I think.

[Nuclearranger]

ok sorry if i ask i know Quid is some sort of cash but where is it agenst a USD? lol quid just a funny word...

[Jack]

Quid is a slang word for the British pound. £1 is equal to $1.85, so I got the sound card for a shade under $20.

[Nuclearranger]

ah ok thanks!

[Nuclearranger]

Lol i was just wondering if the prosesser could be upgraded or is that like hardwired onto the motherboard?

[VioletSkye]

Sure can. Just need to make sure you use the same socket type as the motherboard and that the speed pf the processor is supported by the motherboard

Your socket type would be LGA 775 and will support the following CPU's:

• Intel® Pentium® D Processor
• Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology
• Intel® Celeron® D Processor

And possibly the: Intel Pentium EE
