Hello, I dont know THAT much about overclocking, but I like to think of myself as computer literate. Everything ive done is based off what i've read or tried in my free time. Right now it appears to be pretty stable, I play a lot of fairly demanding video games for long periods of time and it...

*sighs* will post tomorrow, I don't know how else to make it anymore clear (other than a pic) that the PCIe card WONT REACH the x4 slot.

Yeah what FPS are you getting? and do you know how to adjust your *rates* and interpolation for better reg? Because that game IS and ALWAYS will be one of the best fps's. N just because your not good at it doesn't mean you should bash it or that its a bad game in terms of functionality. The...

I know its compatible, but the adapter wont reach the x4 slot on the mobo! I'm wondering if theres an extension I can buy or bridge of sorts. I'm just going to return it for a USB adapter.

No I mean the female slot on the Mobo is a few inches onto the board and the male piece on the card only reaches like half an inch to an inch onto the Mobo. Check the pic on the mobo and the adapter and you see what I mean.

Ok, its to my understanding that a PCIe-x1 network adapter can work in a PCIe-x4 slot. My network adapter Newegg.com - ASUS PCE-N13 IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express Wireless Adapter Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates 64-bit/128-bit WEP, TKIP, and AES WI-Fi alliance WPA, WPA2 - Wireless Adapters...

Maybe I can be the first lol, I've never had any problems with Biostar yet....we shall see.Thanks for your help!

I was looking at that as well, then I realized what she'll be using it for and it's already passed over kill lol. Sorry I thought I posted the links as well, heres the board and new RAM. Any recommendations are still appreciated. Thanks for callin out the DDR3 too I totally overlooked that...

I dont think my mom would really like that case. What if I were to swap out the CPU & Mobo with BIOSTAR TForce TA790GX A3+ AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor Model ADX620WFGIBOX - Retail

I dont know THAT much about hardware, ive built computers before but I always get multiple opinions before I buy so thats what im doin here again. My moms getting her masters soon so im building her a new comp for a present because the one she has now sucks. She mainly uses it for web surfing...

Well its settled. I'll buy another HDD, thanks yall.

Can I set up an external HDD to run an OS(Vista 64bit)? Ive been using Vista 32bit, I just got Win7 64bit but NetGear hasnt released any network adapter drivers. I can get OS's for free from school so I figured I have an extra external and I'd like to put Vista 64 bit on it. Would that be...

I dunno what hampton and shylock are talking about but fyi I have windows 7 up and running so I dunno why you keep telling me how to do it....But Slaymate, I had no problem installing the drivers on vista. When im installing on windows 7 it gets all the way through until it attempts to detect...

No I know you were completely right, when i unzipped the RAR file onto my flash it showed all the files the exact same way as the windows dvd/usb program did but it diddnt load any of the boot files, even tho it showed them there were hidden ones as well. I diddnt have to do any of the copy...

LOL, yeah I understand that you need the files on the USB to boot an OS, a blank USB is empty space....I realize this. What im saying is that reformatting to NTFS is making the drive bootable in the sense that reformatting it & putting the OS & files on it is giving you the ability to boot off...
