If they make it crashless, expect a reduction on how much it boosts.

Given they just made nukes crashless, I would guess that tier9 armors are not far away. They want people to take every power in sets.

Considering microcenter is offering deals like Phenom II 965 + MB for $100 and 8GB of good DDR3 RAM is $40. A mere $140 can really boost alot of systems.

Yes, they are selling the stuff at a loss. Probably why the Northern California store closed. Having 4 Frys stores within 10 mles doesn't help.

Some are easy some well you just can't.

Sailor Moon is quite easy. I usually stick in at least a flaw or two so its not a "copy".

Actually, its probably closer to the image of Kepler 36c as viewed from Kepler 36b

Actually, you answered the question.

The 531s (slimline) comes with a 250W PSU.

The 531 (mini tower) comes with a 300W PSU.

As far as 2GB vs 4GB. Hearing that topic being tossed around CoH, I ran that experiment with my old C2D E6600. I ran it with 2GB and 4GB for a week with each configuration and tested zoning times after 4+ hours of play and it made no difference. The topic though was about zoning times not stablity of FPS not that I could tell any difference while playing.

Back in the good old days when Windows XP first came out, the idea that 256MB of RAM was going to be required for reasonable scared people. Most people at the time were on 16/32 MB and running Windows 98. As things changed and memory got alot cheaper just about every PC has 2GB with XP.

Vista failed because most PCs at the time of release were still being sold with 512MB to 1GB of RAM and Vista is a total memory hog. Never mind the fact that most PCs used integrated graphics by intel which was quite slow and Vista actually pushed up the requirements on the low end of graphics.

Edit: Sorry for the wall of text.

Nope it incorrectly has the wrong modifer, it should be 0.67 but someone put in 0.7 creating a KB power vs -1s

Edit: I just sent a PM to Zwill to forward this post to someone who fixes this.

6570 and 6670 are very similar cards. 6570s are clocked lower and use DDR3 RAM, often have cheaper capacitors to be profitable at the lower price range. 6670 is available with GDDR5.

Power could be an issue which is why I say its important to say which dell.

Its like saying I need new tires for my Ford.

Actually DDR2 RAM costs more than DDR3 RAM, its like buying V rated tires for a Ford Pinto. Buying RAM for the thing won't make it run faster.

Should give us things like the model of Dell you have. Although I'm guessing its a 531 and let us know if its the Mini tower or the slimline.

Should also give us a budget.

*IMHO* I would not spend a dime trying to upgrade the thing.

Anyways,
This 6670 is $90 and uses GDDR5 not DDR3 like you see in the really cheap cards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102958

Its tough buying any cheap cards since the evil marketing people prey on the folks who get suckered by the large number on DDR3 RAM. GDRR5 or save up money.

Looks fine to me.

Clearly we can use our awesome superpowers to figure out what you have.

I looked over the specs on the thing, its a pretty good deal since most models with similar specs cost $800 or more. As long as you consider Acer an acceptable brand and the 1366x768 TN screen as acceptable.

A Sager with the same 630M will cost $800 of course Sager is a small company who makes gamer laptops.

If you truly run CoH at 60 FPS with "ultimate" settings you're in for a huge letdown. Like most laptops with discrete chips use a laptop cooler and not your lap. You don't want to "cook" your lap.

In the case of Scrappers, I never have taken confront.

Tankers - I always take taunt as soon as I can
Brutes - I always take taunt as soon as I can.
One exception for the brute, I have one fire/fire brute who is AE fire farm only who does not have taunt. Normally even my fire farmers have it and the fire/fire farmer who doesn't will probably end up with it next time I do a respec.

That's the 400 SP model. so it should be roughly a 5670 which barely handles minimal UM. The AMD APUs are getting better but I with this post there are nvidia discrete chips getting close in price.

I find it amusing that there are people who have GT430/440 settings higher than my 6870.

Free up hard drive space. Report back.

Depends on what you consider decent and acceptable.

The 630M is a rebadged 540M. Its going to run fairly typical of 96 shader fermi based mobility chips.

As for the laptop itself, 1366x768 screen...Well, at least the GPU isn't a slow intel.

I'm sure it will run fairly modest levels of normal mode and possibly sniff the low levels of UM depending on zone.

My dad still uses a 486 DX 25.

I see more than my fair share of laptops with "issues" that turn out to be dust. A $5 can of compressed air can do wonders.

I don't know how old your machine is or how well you take care of it, but I would guess its about 2 years old and never had a good blast of compressed air.

Great! Thanks for keeping us updated.

There is also the not having to re-toggle a bunch of stuff.
