I have seen many people asking me to assemble a complete gaming system. A complete gaming system or ultimate gaming rig does not refer a standard set of processors, motherboards etc. It changes as the generation changes. Making a fully game oriented system is an art. You need some critical knowledge before selecting the computer peripherals. Before building a system(of any type), one should understand the fact that not all costly hardwares are the best and not all cheap hardwares are worst.Building a gaming system is not just putting all high end products together and ending up with a huge budget. In most cases, the performance of one component depends on the other. Thats why , experts will test a hardware with all supported combinations and infer the difference. It is not possible for a common man to do all kinds of tests . But he can have a quick glance over the observations , reviews over the Internet.There are many websites which review hardwares intensively. Even the...

If you did not scratch your hard disk against the wall, floor , or pinch it with sharp needle or any hard materials, i have a solution to recover the bad sectors in your hard disk.

There are two questions related to this topic. 1. Does AMD tri-core processor has four cores? (If you dont know this?) 2. How to unlock the fourth core , in the AMD Phenom tricore processor? Answer for first question is Yes. The tricore processor is actually a four core, commercially called as Quad core processor. The fourth core has been locked. Various sources say, the lock is due to pricing issue. But , the real reason is due the instability of the processor. Its design is a quad core processor of dimension .60nm, with optimal clock frequency, But the manufactures encountered a kind of apparent instability on the processor. So instead of wiping out the design, they fixed the issues by just disabling(locking) the fourth core to make it absolutely stable. Pricing issue may be one of the reasons, but the core reason for locking the core is the stability factor. Answer for second question is below. Yes you can break the lock to use the four cores together. For that, you just need to pla...

Hard disk , usually called as Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The name is quite a controversy. Hard disk is not a hard component. A single shake in the reading head or a single drop of water is enough to make your hard disk to break down. Being a magnetic material, it has got many enemies around to spoil its health. 80% of hard disks fail due to improper power supply, especially in India where none of the houses have proper earthing. If your computer is receiving a bad power supply, then first thing that has a highest chance to get affected is your hard disk.So perform this check, before you connect your hard disk. Connect your CPU without Hard disk. Turn it on Take a tester and touch each and every spot in the cabinet. The tester light should never turn on.If the tester light glows, there is some problem with the power supply. Remember ,cabinet has nothing to do with you computer. You can make a computer run in a flat table. The cabinet just holds all your components in position.Connect the h...

Power Cut Voltage Fluctuation Low Voltage. These are the terms reserved for Indian Country, as we face this in everyday of our life. Even i get irritated, when my CPU restarts when am playing a game.I can play the level again, but what happens to the computer. There are many devices , which get contaminated due to abrupt power cuts. CD/DVD Burners are in the Top. Many people witness their Burners turn useless after a sudden power cut when a CD/DVD Burning is under progress.Burner is just a part of the System, but Motherboard is the Heart of the System. These Voltage fluctuation might affect, South and North Bridge, even the PCI Slots. Now ASUS has planned to seal the worry of all Indian. A New Motherboard which could adjust accordingly to the voltage variation. A Special Circuit placed adjacent to the FSB, will tackle the silent attack.

AMD comes out with it new Neo chip for Netbooks. The Netbooks are extremely thin and are designed for internet purposes. Intel is already running with their Intel ATOM Processor . Now its AMD's turn to support Netbook. Many AMD based Netbooks are about to come. The Salient feature of this processor is , the form factor is very different, as the netbooks or nettops will very very very thin. This could be a low power processor, so it mostly wont support PC architecture. The Battle begins.

Intel has planned to make two releases. 1. A Basic Atom Processor - Pineview 2. A Desktop Processor - Clarkdale (Here comes the Pain) Clarkdale comes with Integrated graphics. Nothing to wonder, such a processor was already designed in 90s which was for low end desktops. Already Intel use their own R-SDRAM (Rambus) which is faster but a bit costlier, they dont worry about the challenge against SDRAM Manufacturers. The intergrated memory controller secret is also brken in i7 Processor. Now its really " Intel Inside " every computer

There are only 3 main media that can be Connected directly to Motherboard. 1. Floppy Disk 2. Hard Drive 3. CD/DVD ROM Nothing difference. All have Same Convention. There are two components for every drive. 1. Data Cable 2. Power Cable. Power Cable enables powe supply to the device. Data Cable gives the Input to the Computer. Data Cable are to varieties. 1. IDE - A Flat Ribbon Like Cable 2. SATA - A Thin Cable. General Knowledge is enough.Just see the Socket in the Device and plug in appropriately. You are done

Wide screen term which is usually used for mentioning a dimension which is not Square. But the meaning widescreen is literally taken by NEC. Introducing a Mega? Huge? Ultra? , we should definitely use the word Terrible Wide TFT Monitor CRV43 The Specifications are really Jaw Dropping. Resolution : 2800 x 900 Aspect Ratio : 32 : 10 The Monitor has a terrifying response time of 0.02 ms. And the form factor is not like normal Wide Screen Monitor but a Little Curvy One which almost covers the entire content of any Game with Surrounding Effect. I forgot to tell one thing. Close your Jaw!!

V IA .Whenever we hear the name , the thing comes to our mind is Motherboard and Mobile Processor. One of the fast moving boards those days. VIA video card, VIA audio They bth supported Intel AMD processors. VIA is the first one to introduce SDRAM implementation for the both Procesors. But slowly their market went down as leading Companies like Intel, Gigabytes started to release their own Boards. Now VIA is back after a long struggle with a new NANO Processor . Its a normal 65nm Technology processor. The Dual core version of them might release later part the year.
