hey there everyone! i'm not exactly a newb to computers.. but compared to you guys... i am! ok.. what does it mean exactly to overclock your computer? make it perform above it's maximum capacity? in addition.. my case is like... i dunno.. going haywire or something. it sounds like it has asthma LOL man.. cuz i just bought a new graphics card geforce fx 5200 PCI 128 DDR.. man... i am like.. so unhappy with this card that i think imma return it.. it gave me lots of hard times. also, my computer doesn't have any AGP or PCI-x slots for the mobo so you guys have any suggestions? should i totally give my computer a hardcore makeover? (new case, new mobo, more ram [how do i tell how many pinns i have?], new graphics card, etc) i look at newegg alot and man is that a great site or what!? if any of you guys could give me some few pointers on where i can find information about computers or even if you guys could tell me that'll be GREAT! thanks again!

yes.. technology does rock

Go for a new Motherboard

You can keep all your previous things, but sell that 5200.

We just need you to post more specfic things, like who makes the computer etc. etc.

I thought VAIOs were laptops

But still, the mobo is the most important part of a pc. If you're getting a new one, I suggest you get a good one that allows you to upgrade in the future (e.g. it would be a mistake to buy a mobo that doesn't support dual channel ram for a p4 skt478).

(e.g. it would be a mistake to buy a mobo that doesn't support dual channel ram for a p4 skt478what's p4 skt478? and how can i find the what my pinn is?

o and no vaios aren't just laptops. they have both desktop and laptop

for knowledge.......start by reading the links in my sig

 

[Jack]

Pentium4, Socket 478. It means it has 478 pins. they're up to 3.4Ghz. Yours is very likely to be a socket 478. if you wanna know more about your system, download CPU-Z from www.cpuid.com

lol overclocking your system seems too good.. what's the catch? if there's not catch then how can i do this? that one site in the signature helped but i was still confused on how to restore it lol

 

[Jack]

the catch on ocing is the heat. you gotta have good cooling to have a good oc. other than that, it's addictive! you keep wanting better and better OCs, so you keep wanting better and better parts! lol!

 

[Technology Rocks!]

ooo ic thanks! man.. better parts.. that's gonna be a prob cuz i'm not exactly the richest man lol and i can't work cuz i'm underaged too unless if anyone knows where a 14 year old guy can get a job lol. hm.. my computer case looks like ****. and i'm not sure what the hell's wrong with it but it sounds like it has ashtma and it drives me insane! @!*#[email protected]$RUI In addition, i dunno how well my computer handles the heat! so any idea where i can check and get a job and earn money? lol and no stealing is not a solution

Hey, I just turned 16, so I just use the same saving method every young man can: save lunch money! lol

 

[Technology Rocks!]

LOL! i feel so guilty though! like.. your parents give you the money cuz they want to eat and then you save it and buy computer parts! well.. i guess it's beneficial either way but i still feel guilty! any other suggestions? lol

Knowledge is the food of life...

 

[Jack]

well... you can build comps for family (I do it and get 10 euro an hour

already built 3 rigs, including my own.) or do other stuff you like, for example, related to comps-virus cleaning, installing anti-spyware programs... making webpages for people... (I'm building one right now and I already got 2 waiting lol). you gotta use your imagination!

 

[Technology Rocks!]

hey does anyone know how i can find which type or RAM will work for my motherboard? like.. the pinn or w/e?

lol, excellent point that should be well heeded. Tho not one you should publically announce lol. You still want them to think they have some semblance of control.
