novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2005 hey 2 gigs is not alot, it means the cpu doesnt have to goto the hard drive for information, it goes to the memory which running on a much faster bus, which in turn makes your computer faster, the more the better.

If the other specs are good, which I'm guessing, then that would be a sweet gaming rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alperuzi 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2005 when I scan one regular photograph in lets say 1200 dpi (which is pretty good quality) I get a file which is around 1GB-1.5GB, I have 512ram on the laptop, so the 512mb-1gb portion sits on the hdd slowing things to a crawl and taking about 5min to load. with 2gb, none of this would happen!

I built it but graphics card isn't giving me any output so ive taken my whole system in to be built up again. As its the place i bought most thigns from, they will rewplace anything which is faulty, which is from there. Never mind lol  Does anyone know what is the largest size 10,000 rpm HD you can egt atm? I was considering getting a few of them, but i could only find ones with 74gig. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ there also bloody expensive, but would be bloody fast also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 Goosestaf, i have to ask you if you will be running the hard drives on EIDE or SATA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 if you want to go EDIE or SATA the only thing i can find is the Western Digital 74Gb 10,000 rpm Raptor hard drive. But if you really want to have some fast and i mean fast storage you can go with the SCSI interface, if thats the way you think you can go then Maxtor has a 300 GB SCSI hard drive that runs at 10.000 rpm. the only draw back would be that you would have to purchase a SCSI controller for your computer and they can be expensive.(not to mention setting it up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 I should also mention the Maxtor Atlas 15K II, only 147Gb but spins at 15,000 rpm, thats if you have 1,217 bucks sitting around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
