Hey folks. My friends computer died and the repair shop said it was because of the mobo and ram being incompatible, I call BS on that since it worked fine for 2 years and I can't see how a mobo which is similar to mine would have any issue with mid of the range DDR2 PC6400 ram. More like the RAM went bad and they decided to replace the lot.
They decided they had to replace her mobo, ram and CPU...sure.
Anyway now they've given her the following...
Intel i3-550
Corsair XMS3, 2x2GB DDR3
Gigabyte H55M-D2H
basically they've given her a new PC tbh...not necessary.
It seems fine and a little faster for most things...but she plays an online MMO and he says it's actually gotten slower..
if it helps the game is called Eden Eternal. Basically it's choppy all the time, not running smoothly at all, where as it did before with no issues.
since her GPU is still the same and she still has 4GB of ram, with DDR3 logically being an improvement. I can only think the processor is a problem?
Any ideas guys?
