Help / Re: Tips on speeding up a computer.
« on: July 07, 2012, 06:15:08 AM »
Chances are because of your low power eating CPU, you "might" be ok with what you have with your choice of GPU. But if it was me I would go with the new psu to be safe. Using it for later, maybe, I say that because up to date systems with 4 or larger core CPUs and power hungry video cards chances are even this new psu wouldn't cut it. You would need at least 800 watts to get a new system going.
Risk in low power... No start of the box, video artifacts, the psu could shut down and or burn out.
Plugs on the new unit... You will be fine. Even if you run out of flat plugs, they have jumpers/pigtails that you can buy to make them go farther.
One last thing, if the box doesn't have a rear fan, buy the biggest one that will fit to cool the box off because of the new GPU.

The PSU you posted, should work... The 4 extra pins (the +4 talked about) for the MB on the new PSU will disconnect from that MB plug (just move them aside, don't use them for anything)...
Like so

What program are you using? And why do you want to feed out faster? I mean who cares what you're pushing out, its not like you are a hard core sharer and you are going to get black balked because you're not pushing out what you are taking in.

The AGP slot is where you put the video card, look for the best Agp vid card that is still made (I assume there is still some on the market). Install the card, then you have to turn off the on board video, it will either be a jumper on the board or a setting in the BIOS. Your power supply will work fine at 250w (you just don't have power eating options in that box, even the video card wouldn't warrant a new psu), but it wouldn't hurt to go 500w if you want to change it out.

Not that you will see this because you were already here once 
Happy birthday, damn you're getting old. Congratulation s, I'm sure you never thought you would make it past 40.

Yes I stand corrected and I'm sorry... Short story, I was on my phone, seen the destroyer thread (______ & ______ = Dead) and then this one, just the 1st letter of his name caught my eye (I was putting 2 and 2 together I guess). In other words, I didn't read the name. Again sorry for the mistake, carry on.
Hell to show how sorry I am, if he has what is needed to be a member, age and so, I will refer him.

^^^^^^^
Assume both are the same just different by fill color. I pick 1.

Trying to figure out why I bothered asking. Most of you are either old, fat loads, or skinny nerds, save maybe Dempy and Misfit.
I'm 2 out of 3 on that list, 66.6% is pretty good imo.
