whats does 2.66GHz convert to in MHz? cause i have a 2.66 dell windows xp and a game says its good to have atleast 1000 MHz and my comp has 2.66.

**Soulphalanx** · 11-17-2006, 03:45 PM

Wrong? Its 2666MHz. Same speed as mine.

**Soulphalanx** · 11-17-2006, 03:52 PM

o shoot, thought it was bytes
my bad

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 11-17-2006, 04:19 PM

1 GHz = 1000 MHz

For future reference.

**nosushi4you** · 11-17-2006, 04:28 PM

oo thanks guys. then howcome a computer profiler said it was only 533? was this refering to my mobo? can i play games that require 1000 or more MHz?

Your PC is fast enough. Faster than mine. But not for long *cough*Core2Duo*cough*

**nosushi4you** · 11-17-2006, 04:30 PM

DEMON X, is it a good speed, can it play any good games?
-= Double Post =-
so this is greatly improved from a windows 98 cause my old one only had 450. lol.

**FLai** · 11-17-2006, 04:38 PM

What size of RAM do you have? That accounts for just as much as processing power.

**nosushi4you** · 11-17-2006, 05:34 PM

512MB, is that good or bad?

**CA$HMON3Y** · 11-17-2006, 05:38 PM

if your planning on being a gamer id update your ram to atleast 1Gb and update you video card!
EDIT: my processor is only 1.6Ghz on my PC and Mac....

**nosushi4you** · 11-17-2006, 05:55 PM

how do i update it and how much will it cost?

**CA$HMON3Y** · 11-17-2006, 05:57 PM

You'll want to find out what expansion ports your PC has first, so that you can look into graphics cards that will work with your PC. You can do this by searching for specifications of your PC online and checking for an AGP or PCIe slot, or by opening up your PC and physically looking. There are also some programs that can figure this out for you but accuracy can not be guaranteed.

**CA$HMON3Y** · 11-17-2006, 06:18 PM

just unscrew one side of your PC's case and look to see if you have a card slot that is brown above a few white ones, thats AGP

**nosushi4you** · 11-18-2006, 10:37 AM

ok thanks ill check it soon. but i have one more question, i used a profiler to bring up info about my computer and it says it has 533 MHz for the motherboard or something, but under system info, it says "DELL INTEL PENTIUM 4 2.66GHz WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 2" so which one is the one i would use for games?
-= Double Post =-
i dont know what im looking for exactly with the RAM. can it be 2 512MB sticks or is it 1 1GB stick?

**DrynnlX** · 11-18-2006, 10:57 AM

You can have 2x512mb RAM if you have 2 Memory banks.

your reported "533mhz" is your FSB, this is then multiplied to give a processor speed of 2666mhz.

The 533mhz refers to the speed your RAM runs at. You should try and buy RAM at this speed and it will be DDR2 memory. If your PC currently has 1 512MB stick then just get another 512MB stick otherwise its upto whether to go 2x512MB or 1X1GB. Buying two sticks of 512MB will allow your PC to run it in dual channel mode for greater performance but 1GB gives better upgrade options, still if prices are similar I'd probably go with the 2X512MB in your case.

**DrynnlX** · 11-18-2006, 11:10 AM

Actually, So we can give you a definate answer, could you please supply a screenshot. Thanks.

**nosushi4you** · 11-18-2006, 11:13 AM

a screenshot of what?

**DrynnlX** · 11-18-2006, 11:15 AM

The program you are using to get your PC specs.

**nosushi4you** · 11-18-2006, 11:58 AM

how do i post an image?

sorry for all the n00bish questions.

**Siouxsie** · 11-18-2006, 12:16 PM

Go to Imageshack. Upload it, but don't resize it. Get the link for the image, and post that here.

**nosushi4you** · 11-18-2006, 01:13 PM

would this be an example of the RAM i need to buy?

**Siouxsie** · 11-18-2006, 01:44 PM

Erm. Dude.

Bring up what you want to take a picture of on the screen.
Look on your keyboard, above the arrow keys.
There should be a button that says "PrtScrn" or similar.
Press it
Take your finger off the key
Put your hand on your mouse
Move it, until the little arrow on the screen is on the button in the bottom left that says "Start"
Push down with your index finger
Release your index finger
A menu should now have popped out. Move about, pausing on an item for its menu to open.
Keep doing this until you get to "Accessories"
Find "Paint" inside "Accessories"
Click the icon that says "Paint"
Press the button on your keyboard, below shift, on the left hand side, that says "CTRL"
Press "V" on your keyboard
Release both buttons
Look around on the top bar of "Paint" for a button that says "File"
Move the arrow onto it, as described how to in points 6-9, replacing the word "Start" with "File"
Click it
Look down for the item "Save As..."
Save it to your desktop
Do as mentioned before with the imageshack process, but this time with the picture you just made

Congratulations! You've taken and uploaded a screenshot!

**DrynnlX** · 11-18-2006, 01:45 PM

We need a little more than that to determin what type of RAM you need. go to where info about your current ram is displayed and press ALT+prt scr (Print screen)

Open up MS paint and paste the picture. Upload that image to imageshack

And to Brain_Stew: Sorry mate, I was right, It was the FSB.

EDIT: Siouxsie beat me to the screenshot tut, and his is better

**nosushi4you** · 11-18-2006, 02:20 PM

thanks guys, thats was a good walkthrough. you went into alot of detail. lol. now i know what the start button means.

**tave** · 11-18-2006, 03:42 PM

i now know what a mouse button does...wow..the wonders
