I have mentioned in his Intro thread, His Systems are 'Special'

RiO · 3rd August 2007, 14:50

My PC is used mainly for gaming, recording and designing other than the few times I'm in overdrive to see how fast it can go

Don't listen to Amey, he spends way more than me on computers... I only have 1.

Nice config something of my taste. Simple and does the job.

Yes if you have partitioned the HDD u can install VISTA and XP both

Technocrat · 6th August 2007, 11:01

See the system comes with Vista pre loaded, & AFAIK XP & vista can be dual booted only if XP is installed first & then Vista & in this case I am not getting a Vista CD to boot later & the Restore CD will remove all partitions & install Vista.. So i dont know what to do :|

merve_extreme · 6th August 2007, 18:33

no u can do that techo,there is a utility called as EasyBCD.install XP and you will lose the Vista boot option,use this easyBCD from XP to get back the vista option in boot menu.There is a option to add boot entry in easyBCD use that,specify new entry as vista and specify vista drive as C.

also backup the Boot configuration from Vista first using the same easyBCD utility if anything goes wrong.Its really easy.

did anyone heard about DDR3 ram which is twice fast than the existing DDR2 and DDR3 will be in production soon

RiO · 6th August 2007, 21:47

It's already available in the market, however, it's not twice as fast like you've heard... DDR3 is a new memory standard which will take a while to replace DDR2 because it's memory timings are not that great. And considering prices atm ($800-1000 for a quality 2gb kit), no point worrying about it for another 6 months

merve_extreme · 6th August 2007, 22:07

DDR3 is not twice as fast as DDR2 as of today,it is still in nacent stage of development and will improve over time.It is already in production but very costly and currently runs only on Intel 's new 35 series chipsets.
