A quick check on Newegg shows that most of the DDR2-1066 HyperX memory runs at least 2.0 volts. Just make small increments until the system runs stable.
If you mix 667 ram with 800 speed ram, they will both run at 667mhz. If the computer only supports 667mhz, it doesn't matter how much faster the new ram is. It will still run at 667mhz. Find out if the computer can run 800mhz sticks and then go from there.
PCI Express spec says 75 watts from the motherboard itself and additional 75 watts from the 6 pin plug to power a PCI Express graphics card. 150 watts max being pulled just by the video card under load. I think the main problem with keeping the old PSU would be system stability under full load with the new card.
The 4870 should have come with a DVI to HDMI adapter. The advantage to using the HDMI is that the graphics card can automatically detect the TV model and max resolution. It should auto detect all the settings, and it's good to go. That's how it is with my TV. Plug it in and go. It even defaults to my TV instead of my monitor which is connected by the VGA connector.
well i decided to go with the samsung nc10 because of its long battery and others but i cant find it anywhere in canada? So is it only avaliable online or hopefully in some stores.canucks12792
NC10 is a rebrand of the ASUS. The internal components are the same. You'll be fine. Maybe you can find some on NCIX or Newegg.ca?
Some wireless cards are picky/glitchy by design. Most times there is a disconnect problem it's because of a compatability issue. Only thing you can really do is update the drivers and hope that fixes it.
There are some variations, but basically they're all the same components. They differ where some have bluetooth and some don't. Also, some have wireless-n cards, and some just have wireless b/g. I have a msi wind, and it's does just fine in normal usage such as web surfing and microsoft office. Some of the tube websites tend to start straining the machine especially if they have a lot of ads. HD videos are more than likely off limits unless you do some tweaking.
I would go either with MSI or ASUS. They are both the same as far as I'm concerned.
