DukeLeto Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Well yes, I suppose I should say "overclocking to GF Go 6800 Ultra levels." (Yes, the GF Go6800 Ultra does exist; it's used in the Dell XPS2 and the Alienware Area51-m 770.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I might be getting a wad of cash to upgrade my comp before I go to Uni as I won't be getting a laptop.I would recommend people going to my university and taking Business Administration to get a laptop by the start of 3rd year university. It makes life so much easier. A definite must if the person was traveling to school. I was in a group of 6 for one class and we had to borrow a laptop several times in order to do group projects.

veK Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 nice stuff nya... but I would go for some decent ocz ram instead of corsair. corsair is very good, but ocz is often a little faster. the good ocz ram wins most of the tests and is excellent for overclocking. you can also raise the voltage and up to a given level above the normal voltage and still keep ocz lifetime guarantee - with very good rma services...I was very happy with my ocz too and would never buy anything else again.go check out a good kit @ www.ocztechnology.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
