Computer Jargon

[Bl4cK32]

Amps = Watts/Volts

Say a pc IS actually using 350w that would be

X = 350 / 240

there for 1 pc @ 350w would = 1.4583....Amps

Which means about 6 pcs (6.8567) per socket would be ok?

Or did i fudge my figures

Sounds a tad excessive to me though....

Haven't tripped a circuit yet.

I might be jumping in a little late or not quite on topic, but I normally have about 6 PC's running out of one power point.

If I end up with more than 6, due to space they end up on another power point (witch has a running fish tank plugged into it LOL). I'm not sure if the two power points on the same circuit or not though.

Good luck game hard!

Hey Madaz,

this is the stuff that i am doing. At the moment this is only 69000 polys and my computer is starting to struggle with it.

i'm not sure if its only my video card that need up grading or more

I have a gig of ram which helps, The video card is only a 128mb ati radeon 9600.

got a 2.6ghz cpu

any suggestions?

How much actual RAM do you have on the motherboard ? The jerkyness when doing details could be the caused by the the image size making the program/windows write to the page file.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

upgrade the ram by adding another 2 sticks and then upgrade the 3d card. if u have AGP start considering the PCI-e systems with DDR2 ram. its the way of the future. for now.

that gfx card only came in AGP my sugestion it start thinking of full upgrade can be done as cheap or as dear as u like to a certain extent

i suggest doing what i did first off... get an E6600 conroe, a 7800GTx, 1 gig of DDR2 800Mhz Kingston HyperX ram, and the motherboard, any ASUS one, will do. but DO NOT BUY ANYTHING NOW ITS JUST GETTING INTO HOLIDAY PERIOD U WILL BE RAPED. wait till after.

thats where i would go

E6600 x1900gt 2gb OCZ and a gigabyte mobo

nothing wrong with either computers just im on my 2nd pc with all those parts and havnt had any trouble even bought the gigabyte 939 board with a 3700+ for dads pc and that runs great

ive chosen a GT grafix card over XTX to keep the price down whilst still having performance to boot

**EDIT**

the DO NOT BUY LINE

i would say disregard that and change it too

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ADELAIDE U WILL BE RAPED

shop online and you will be surprised

a quick $2,000 PC no monitor hopefully youve got 1

maybe SAZilla can do the same to show a comparison of a asus system

keep in mind these arnt the skimpiest parts and system could be built cheaper but there not the deaest parts either its a nice comprimise

this attachment is a excel document with hyperlinks to all products there will be cheaper prices in australia but ive found Scorptec to be fair and if u ask for discount you may get something also

i bought most of my gear from scorptec. They had to order stuff in like the motherboard in, but were still quicker and cheaper than buying here in SA.

Large gear like a case, HDD(s), and dvd rom i bought locally. I also bought my gpu locally incase i needed to RMA it - which i did 1 month after purchase and had a quick swap / replacement.

[Whiplash]

ahh i don't have that sort of money at the moment, Hopefully soon
