my psu sucks its a 420 W that says on the psu that it is 12V 20 A but online it says its 13 A. whenn i overclock a amd 3700+ to any more than 2.55 GHz it wont boot up. also sometimes when im playing a game i get a blue error screen and the computer restarts. is this because of power supply (hey it cost me 15 bucks!)? if so have any suggestions on sub 100 dollar psu's that will be good gor any game for the next year or so
on a gamespot review i heard them say that the 8800 GTS 320 MB suffers from low memory but that on lower resolution computers the jump to 640 mb doesnt make a difference. they also had a frame rate comparison and the overclocked 320 mb beat the 640 mb at lower resolutions like 1280x1024. in my case i game at 1440x900. would the extra memory do me any good? thx
no prob. hey ive always wondered how to oc ram. do you do it in bios? ive heard rumors that somtimes it actually makes the ram less effective if you overclock it. is this true? thanks man
you wont max it out, but close @1280x1024. Taking off distances and so forth. You will have to choose no HDR and yes to AA with the 7600gt or you say yes to HDR and no to AA.
I woudl personally rather have 2x1gb than 3x1gb. Then it will be in dualchannel. Also that CPU is a monster for overclocking. Many hit 2.8-3.0Ghz with the right cooling.
And yes to your 2nd question, it should max out Crysis. Crysis is not gonna be suuuuuuuper heavy. It will be yes, but it will be so well optimized its designed to be on wide range of setups. That same setup would max Oblivion too

i have 2x512 dual channel and 2x1 dual channel. would it be better to take off the 2x512, is that what you are saying?
i got amd 3700+ overclocked to 2.47 GHZ with a geforce 7600 GT and 3 gb of RAM
i play FEAR fully maxed out on a 19" lcd at 1400x900 with about 30 fps, which is percectly fine for me (i cant tell the diff between that and 60 fps, i honestly cant). will my rig be able to max out oblivion (with some decent AA and AF) at at least 25 fps
also
im thinking of upgrading to a amd athlon x2 4800+ at 2.4 ghz and a new ati card when it comes out. will that max out a game like crysis(again all i need is like 35 fps)
