i second what the above said. Drives (especially sound for me) get corrupt over time and need to be uninstalled and the reinstalled. Also make sure the mute and the volume are up in the volume bar. Another thing is you maybe didn't disable onboard sound or uninstall those drives which can cause...
as far as i know you need all 24 pins, and the 4 pin connected to the 4 pin on the mobo this is called CPU power. you can buy an adapter for that for like $5. the reason the led is probably on is because those basically run on nothing, especially a 5mm or smaller LED.
as you might have seen AMD dual cores and some intel dual cores are really cheap right now. If you want to go the dual core way go for it. If you want quad core the cheapest for the performance is the Intel Core 2 Q6600. Get a good aftermarket heat sink and you won't really have to worry about...
i don't know if it is a problem but it sounds very strange. You might have to update the bios and drivers of the chipset. I use a program called lavalys home edition, which i find to be very use full to monitor temps and things. just google it and you should find it.
you need more ram, FSX is a hog when it comes to it. You should download resized tree textures as those will help you get a few more FPS. Also try to lower the settings of weather or fly without it, clear skies. Don't use car traffic or things like that those do the most FPS damage. There are...
already own the heatsink for the cpu, i chose it based on the great reviews. I'm never going to do sli because FSX does not support dual cards so it really doesn't affect me just when i go to sell the system in a year or two. As for the psu, having more cannot hurt as a computer only uses as it...
Yes OEM is available to anyone who wants to buy it and work with the set regulations. You could add the 8400 as it will help the load on the CPU and will be noticeable if you do any editing or gaming. You'll see a performance increase.
ok, they have one for the same price after rebate but it includes a game. I'm going to get that one.
On the psu side of things, when i need to sell it the option will be there for buyers to upgrade with SLI or Crossfire.
I have another question too, can i do sli on the board i posted or will...
So i want to sell my current comp but don't know a fair price. I was thinking $350.
CPU: AMD 64 Athlon X2 3800 (939)
Mobo: Abit KN8SLI
GPU: BFG 7800GT
PSU: SFC 650w SLI
HD: 120gb IDE
RAM: 1gb DDR400 corsair
Cooling: Thermaltake (earlier big water systems) on CPU, 1 external radiator and...
i don't want 650w so i'll get the 750w corsair to be safe.
I'm not sure if i want to change to ATI, i was an AMD guy and was going to go with the Phenom but after a lot of reading went against it.
So i will be going with the 9800gtx still, i don't really like to purchase cheap cards like...
Ok so i am new to these forums and i noticed PSU's wattages are much lower than i though i should have. Well anyway here is my new list of parts:
