Finally finished building my first rig, so proud of myself.. Haven't posted on this thread for a while and didn't feel like creating another separate thread as well... Anywayz, when I tried installing windows vista ultimate, it didn't give me a choice to choose the 32/64 bit windows, for some reason it chooses 32 bit and only recognises 3.25gigs out of 4gigs ram... Do you normally get an option to choose it when installing vista? I want to utilise all the 4gigs of ram that I spend my $$$ on... Plz help me on this... Thanks....
You need a 64-bit disk. If you bought a retail copy, both disk should've been included. If it's an oem copy, your sol. Nice rig though.
dont get the gigabyt aurora 3d 570 i have one in black they are nice but poor air flow from the front so i wouldent get it get a antec 900 or 1200
I'm thinking of going liquid cooling in the future for some extreme ocing... so yeah... the case looks awesome and its got heaps of space unlike my soprano dx case on my other computer....
i agree with the heaps of space but it aint that good for WC because ther isant enough room to fit a 240mm rad in there because there aint enough space where the 2 rear fans go so you will have to work out side the case im going water cooling so have been mesuring it up and its a bit of a tight fit if ure puting a rad inside some place
The Q8200 sucks at overclocking. Its fine if you don't plan on OC'ing but if you do its gonna be real tough. It has a 7x multiplier.
It really depends on how high you can push your FSB. The @8200 is not a bad cpu for overclocking, other then the low multiplier.
