LCD TV for Console Games

yaphong — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:00:50 +0800

Hello, I would like to ask you all for a question.

My parents always said that playing games on TV will always damage the TV.
Recently we bought a Samsung LCD TV, and my dad said playing PS2 with it will spoil it.

I am rather sceptical about it.
What do you think?

Performance vs Value RAM

yaphong — Sat, 03 May 2008 14:13:28 +0800

I am not sure whether this has been posted before, if yes then just delete it.

I think my RAM is currently not working well as I frequently get blue screen.

I wanted to buy a new RAM.

2 x 2GB
Kingston Value RAM 800MHz= RM280
Kingston HyperX 800MHz = RM360

I know many will say performance RAM is not noticeable in real life application except in benchmarking.

But is it worth to invest a little more on better RAM or the valueRAM will work just fine?

Sound Card

It seems to me that most of the new motherboards now have build-in sound card.
Is the intergrated sound card good enough or we should get something like Creative?

Computer Upgrade

yaphong — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 11:46:26 +0800

Hello.
I just upgraded my PSU and my graphic card.
Now my computer can play Gears of War and Crysis in High graphics under 1280 x 1024.
But I still experiencing occassional stuttering when I play the game.

I know it is my Pentium 4 is bottlenecking my graphic card.

My question is, will my performance improve if I buy another 1GB of RAM?

And my motherboard only support 400 and 533MHz DDR2 RAM, will they work if I buy faster speed RAM? (of course they will be limited at 533MHz)

Do I have to buy RAM in pairs?

Power Supply Unit

yaphong — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 23:00:43 +0800

I have an ATX-500 P2S PSU.
It came with me when I bought my PC at Lowyat Viewnet.

So here is the question, is this unit good enough for me to run a 8800GT card?
Current I am using ATI X300 SE and I am not sure whether the PSU I am using now is reliable enough to use 8800GT.

Please advice.
