hehe tis all good
Coz my Gfx card is 128megs one of the first ones with em. unless you count the industry standard graphics cards.. they have like 512 megs on them -_- *stabs industry* share them around

Do you mind if I ask you what the heck an "industry standard" Video card is? Unless you are talking about workstation class graphic cards which are meant for rendering engineering 3D models and such. If that is the case you should state workstation class cards. As far as having 512 megs of RAM on a video card that will come soon enough. There is nothing to share unless you feel like spending a whole lot extra on a video card. Like an extra $200-$400 more.
My graphics card fans coul do with another oiling. same with my CPU fan.
There's really no need to oil your fans. They are plenty lubed and meant to operate for as long as 6 years without any maintainence other then dusting them. All 6 of my systems run 24/7 365 100% uasage (I do research) and they all work just fine without an extra oiling. You'd be better off buying some highend fans.
Also before you throw out your old PSU. Take the fan out of it. it should be ok and with a bit of oiling then it's fine. if you need to cut the wires off like I did you can still get a new end for the power. trust me. it works
Unless its some sort of really highend fan I don't see the point unless you need a spare all the time or something. Or you like to fiddle.
29.95 for a 300w PSU!
I'm assuming that's also USD too :-/
I had to buy a new PSU a while back. I got a 300W PSU with my case and bout a new 350w PSU for 35 AUD.
I think you got ripped off bad luck
Actually It think he may have gotten a cheap PSU. Wattage isn't everything. A good Antec or Enermax PSU at 300W will run you about $50-$60 USD and that's if you buy it online. If your PSU weighs less then or equal to your mouse there is a problem. Quality caps aren't cheap or lite. You son need to do some research on PSU's. Cheap PSU equals bad and you're lucky that when your PSU blew it didn't take everything else with it.
hmmm well I'm suprised my PSU survived for so long. My computer used to be on 24/7 so it went under a LOT of stress.[/url]
Again all my computers are not only on 24/7 but running witha full load on the CPU. Your PSU should last quite a while unless it's cheap junk. I have only ever had one PSU die and I still think it was just a fluke. Also not only are my computers on all the time but they are all overclocked in every aspect but the PCI and AGP bus. Lots and lots o' stress and everything is fine.
Heh. Sorry about the nit-picking but I think you mean a socket A motherboard
Socket A is the standard Athlon/Athlon XP socket.
Let me nit pick you back. He stated it perfectly fine. Fry's sells CPU/motherbaord combo's all the time. So yes he bought a 2600+ motherboard/CPU combo as in a 2600+ and a motherboard. Obviously socket A/462 pin unless they are cruel and evil.
