There are hundreds of different models of both, which ones are you interested in?
Absolutely not the case. With the system bus as a bottleneck even modest 2D video playback can bog the system down let alone 3D. If you're doing anything that uses the system bus heavily it will saturate so fast your head will spin, and once that happens you have every device on your computer fighting for bus time like prize fighters, problem is no one wins. On generic or cheaper machines I think you're right though HD would be the next best bet for system improvement. I'm looking at a hard disk upgrade next because my vid card is fine for my needs, the system itself is stellar except memory which I don't need to stress out too much anyways. I'm starting to weigh my systems drive needs and figuring out what a good solution for me is. I'll spend about a week looking at benchmarks =)You're right, although it only makes a difference to things like games and 3D CAD
Sorry Hero, I have to disagree, I've seen more serious bottlenecks with the system bus, especially with games. You may simply have never used a machine that's had such a low speed bus. For simple applications you'll never see it, it doesn't show up till the system is taxed, and it's becoming less of a problem because system bus speeds jumped a lot in the last few years.
Hi,
I've got Acer 4930 that has a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400 and is running a 32-bit Vista at 4GB RAM. and I now want to migrate to windows 7.
I need to know if the 64bit version is compatible and would work ok?. or should i use the 32bit version of windows 7?
Any help would be great.
It's almost cheaper to buy a new computer than it is to buy the full retail version of Windows 7.So why not just buy a copy of Windows 7?
What about a Vista to Windows 7 upgrade? Surely that's cheaper?It's almost cheaper to buy a new computer than it is to buy the full retail version of Windows 7.
SATA-HDDs have a shorter seek times than IDE-drives and a data transfer rate of minimum 15GB/s.
15 Giga bits per second or 15 Giga bytes per second?
Are you sure?
The last time I checked, most hard drives do 300MB/s at most, even if the cable can go faster.
I've found upgrading the hard drive alone gives a significant performance boost, I noticed it when going from an old 5400RPM to a new 7200RPM drive, the performance boost was more than going from 256MB RAM to 512MB.
