I just got my new XPS comp a few weeks ago. XPS 420 Case Link to really huge image of it Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz (Internal Clock Maximum 2.7 GHz) ATI Radeon HD 3650 258MB (Max GPU Memory Clock 499.5 MHz, Max GPU Core Clock 729.0 MHz) Vista 64-Bit 4030MB RAM (4 x 1GB) HDD 390GB Free (581GB Total) Dell 375W Power Supply. I'm going to buy a new GPU pretty soon, I'm thinking the ASUS EAH4870DK 1GB or one of the Nvidia GX200s -Dume

Forum Designer Posts: 1,062 Group: Admin Member #230 Joined: February 2, 2008	Well, I now have a Corsair 850W power supply, and either a ruined processor, or motherboard. While I was putting in the new PSU, I had to take off the CPU heatsink to run some cables under it, and when I was putting it back on, I must have tightened the screws to much, and I think it messed up the motherboard CPU pins (It isn't 1066) or something on the processor... But it gives me a good reason to upgrade to i7 I guess... And it back to the old comp for now... Dell Dimension 4700. Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.40GHz EVGA e-GeForce 6800GS 256MB XP 32-bit. 3070MB RAM (4 x 1GB) 2 HDDs, 71 and 233GB Antec 380W Power Supply. -Dume

Slaughterfish Posts: 144 Group: Member Member #483 Joined: January 1, 2009	AMD Sempron 3000+ 1 GB RAM Ubuntu Intrepid I used to have an ATI Radeon X1650 Pro AGP 512 MB, but that bailed out on me at the weekend The fan isn't working properly and it overheated during gaming. So now I'm running my PC on an ancient Matrox card (no 3D support) so I can only boot Ubuntu for now (normally I dual boot with Win XP.) No gaming for a while Just at a time I'd really need it to tune out a little. So yeh, back when my card worked, not a high end PC but it was fine for what gaming I did.

Right after he left I put in the Corsair 850W psu and it works fine also. -Dume
