The CPU is like 1200~1300. The monitor costs like 200~300

That processor does not cost that much. Maybe you have it the other way around? Looks like monitor would be 1200 and cpu ~ 300 SGD


Must be a really sweet monitor!

MyHeroNoob, don't feel bad about it (sorry if I made you feel that way). Like leMaj24 said, you can always upgrade parts in the future. Have fun with it. Getting a new computer is great!

with the current pricing of hardware you could have gotten much better imo

i paid 1.6k last year for this spec: (which right now should be like 1.2k)

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0 GHz (3.6GHz)
DFI LANParty DK P35
4x DDR2 1GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Vista 64-bit
700GB HD

But as others said, you can always upgrade, as long as your chassis can handle it

Its ok for SC2, but I would really upgrade the PS. Its a dumb reason to start losing various components. I did this with a 300W source and lost a video card and a hard disk... Changed them, upped to a 450W and had no further issues. Of course I had an AMD processor and totally different set-up so take everything with a grain of salt :-)

By CPU he probably means his computer. ComPUter, I guess the mistake is understandable.

You should be fine for sc2. I think upgrading to a 64 bit OS to get the full capabilities out of that 6GB of RAM would be a good idea though. Plus 64 bit is the future anyway.

How's hardware prices at Singapore? In terms of the US (All hail Newegg) that was a frightening price to pay. Upgrading after getting this is somewhat pointless, given how most commercially sold comps' case tend to be bad, and that limits future upgrades. If this can't be returned, then disassembling it and selling the parts could work (or if there are suckers out there, sell the whole thing).

This is not to say that the comp is crap, replace the GPU, switch to a 64bit OS and possible OC the CPU a bit and it can be good. Just that to invest additional capital into a pre-configured machine when you aren't doing it for specific reasons feels a bit like a waste and negates the point of such machines.

4x1gb being cheaper than 2x2? 0.o Must've been some weird promotion lol

ya heronoob, you should follow this basic setup and upgrade your shit. given that your chassis is fine, and just look for youtube videos on how to manually switch out yo shit.

on a side note, LOLOLOL gt220

To derail the thread a bit, sorry:

I'm getting a new computer on friday with a 9500GT. think it will be enough to run sc2? Im not afraid that the rest of the computer can't run it (core i5, 4 gb ram, win7 64 bit, etc), just a bit nervous with the graphics card as my uncle who is making the computer said he'd guess the 9500GT would run sc2 on low graphics.

On thread again: If you're looking for a free MMORPG, maplestory probably is the way to go, another fun online game is Trackmania, if you haven't tried it already, you should go do so now. Its awesome.

Use the Post your Rig thread on SC2 forums, a lot of people asking about graphics solutions there, but if the talks of the Blizzcon builds using 8800 is true, then the 9500 will probably be on the lower ends for graphics indeed.

...at that, what is your i5 build doing with a 9500, if your budget is that low, change to some lower grade processor and get a better card.

Physical Address Extension, something of a ghetto hack for 32-bit systems (but very likely not yours). I can't imagine using a 32-bit system to address more than 2^32 memory is as fast as using a 64-bit system for that purpose. Check the table.

Granted, 3 GB main memory is plenty for most games and applications.


Iirc PAE does not work with windows due to driver fail. But like you said, just get a 64 bit system. The 32 bit monsters are dying at 03:14:08 UTC on 19 January 2038 anyways ^o^
