Question

So I guess I am going for the Sandisk SSD Plus 120GB haha Thanks for the help guys! - Question B)

Hi, I'm searching for the 'best' (120GB+) SATA SSD under €60,- or $67,- USD. The Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB seems okay but has a lot of controller problems (not getting the advertised speeds etc), and the Crucial MX100 128GB seems really good but it's about €70,- or $78,- USD here in the Netherlands... I do not care about the power consumption of the drive, nor encryption support. If you find a suitable SSD, please search on these (Dutch) websites for the price/availability: https://azerty.nl/ https://www.mycom.nl/ Thanks in andvance, - Question B)

I have heard about that problem... but I'm installing 7 so that won't be a problem Thanks for everything tho - Question

Windows is installing right now, Universal USB Installer did the trick. Really weird that Rufus didn't work and Universal USB Installer did But thanks for all the help guys! - Question

You mean, have I tried installing Windows 10 on the machine I'm having problems with? No... As I said in my OP, Vista works just fine, I can burn a Vista ISO on a DVD and it boots directly from it... Doubt it would work but I will give it a try Nice budget build btw A Intel Pentium 530 :rolleyes: - Question

I already tried booting from a USB several times and without success... So than the optical drive is the only solution right? - Question

I used it a lot back in the day but ever since all my computers at home are running Windows 10 the application just won't install... - Question (I'm using Rufus to make all my bootable USBs now)

The components are pretty old, motherboard is from 2006. But the PC in it's whole was build around 2 or 3 days ago (I'm trying to get rid of all my old hardware that's laying around so I'm building PC's and reselling them) And I guess it has the ability to boot from a USB, but it's just now working for some strange reason. Only successful boot was with a Vista installation DVD. - Question

Hi, So I've been trying to install Windows 7 on this old machine of mine but with no success... The only thing it has booted so far is a Vista bootable DVD... Specifications: MSI 848P Neo-V Maxtor 4R080L0 TSST Corp CDDVDW SH (don't know the exact model...) AMIBIOS v6.2 Things that are not the problem (aka tested and working): - DVD itself - USB stick - Optical drive - Windows 7 ISO file Got an idea? Please share it... - Question

Thanks! - Question

wait... I don't quite understand that... It's just a normal case. Thanks, and thanks for the info But I only got 2 fan slots, one in the front, and one in the back.

So i'm not really sure how I should to position my case fans... This is the case.. derp. So I've got 2 fan slots (a block represents a fan slot). They both allow fans up to 80mm. So how should I do this? 1. Rear intake, front intake? 2. Rear intake, front exhaust? 3. Rear exhaust, front exhaust? 4. Rear exhaust, front intake? - Question

So 'fan 2' would be louder?

Hi, So I got a couple of fans laying around and I am wondering if the amperage has something to do with the maximium rpm of the fan? I got for example fan 1 that's rated 0.15A and fan 2 that's rated 0.6A. Does this mean that fan 2 spins at a higher rpm and therefor is louder than fan 1? Please let me know... :rolleyes: - Question

Well... I now got my PC back to normal (2x2 and 2x1, 6GB Total) and I found out the dim had an error (checked it with memtest86+). That dim is going on my 'defect components shelf'. Thanks for all the help! Question

Will check the latency and change slots. BRB

Does this help you? (again.. a big picture)

Hi guys, Yesterday this guy came over and gave me a single 4GB stick for free, my PC was running perfect at the time with 6GB (2x2 and 2x1) but I thought why not take out those 2x1 and put in 1x4 so I can have a total of 8GB? Well I did and this is the result: Installed a total of 8GB RAM (2x2GB and 1x4GB), but when I look in my BIOS it recognizes only 2GB... And when I boot up Windows (W10 B9879) it says 'Installed memory (RAM): 8GB (1.96GB Usable)' I've done the 'msconfig method' and tried to find the 'memory remapping feature', but couldn't find it. Here's a screenshot of my resmon (warning! Big Picture!): I hope someone can help me... and explain to me why now only 2GB is usable and not 4... - Question Motherboard: Some Foxxcon Skywalker motherboard (comes from a Dell Inspirion 580) Processor: Intel Core i5 750 Graphics Card: GeForce GTX260

About the faster RAM... the CPU supports RAM speeds up to 1600Mhz, so buying higher clocked RAM isn't going to give me any extra performance... Could you suggest me a motherboard that's around a 100 bucks? Thanks in advance Question

In United States Dollars, yes... Question PS: If you read my post, it clearly says $$$... but yeah...

Hi guys, I'm in need for a new PC. I've got about $1250,- to spend. Things that should not be included in the build: - Monitor - Keyboard - Mouse - Headset - Mechanical Hard Drive - Windows - Case Preferences: - a Intel CPU - a nVidia GPU - a Liquid CPU cooler - 16GB RAM (if it's possible, otherwise 8 gigs) - 512GB SSD (again, if it's possible, otherwise 256 gigs) This PC is going to be used mostly for gaming, think about Skyrim, Gmod, Minecraft, GTA (IV and V). Thanks in advance, Question

You're a funny one aren't you? Dude, I'm just asking which one is better, I don't need all the other bullshit comments like 'They're so old' 'buy a new one'...

Okay guys... I just asked which one was better... So let me ask it again... Which GPU is better, the GeForce GTX260 or the GeForce 9800GX2?

Well.. I've got the two cards laying around and I'm currently running a HD4850... And I know it's really outdated but it's all I have at the moment. Which game should I do benchmarks with than? And thanks for the info but I can't afford to buy a new card at the moment...
