- you cant spell stupid w/out SIU
okay, i got my gaming rig back, and its got a AGOIA "y" 1600... its pretty fried. my computer reboots randomly. it has a chipped core, and has been exposed to temps upwards of like 70 C!i think the chip makes "errors" seeing as i cant even burn a cd and 3d gaming causes random crashes. im almost positive its not my memory, but if i ran some tests, could i know for sure?anyway... its too slow, so...
i need to know what chip to get that has the best preformance/cost ratio.
it seems the 2500 barton is the way to go, BUT i only have a volcano 9.
i was kind of hoping to get 3.0 Ghz, but what chip would i need to get to do at least 2.5 (with the volcano 9)
or should i invest in a better hsf?
running msi kt4 (1/5 divider, bleh!), 512 of corsair cas2 pc 3200.
