Ok so I have just built my p8Z77 V Pro with 8Mb Samsung Green Before installing Windows I Would like to test my memory but am not sure which is the best program to use After a little research I am still confused Do I use Memtest86 or Memtest86+ or is there a better option. And have they...
Just looking at the reviews for this memory and am tempted to use it for the Ivybridge build I am planning. However it is not on the Asus QVL and so if I need to remove it for that or any other reason the extreme low height it seems to have (hardly much above the slots) would seem to make it...

Of course this must also affect other security products as well

The following quote is from the above link and I assume it would apply to WIN7 as well
A 32-bit version of...
I was going to go sraight for 64 bit until I discovered that some security apps are not quite as effective eg Sandboxie I wanted to have the options for both versions and be sure that 8 or 16GB would not slow things down or cause problems under 32 bit (as I read elsewhere that it might)
Just about to start a new build First time in 6 years from WINXP I am thinking of starting with a WIN7 32 bit install with the option to go to to a 64bit in the future So if I fit some Samsung 8/16 GB sticks would would this adversely affect a my WIN7 32 bit setup or should I aim for just 4GB...
Sounds a silly question however
I am about to download the following driver and need to know if I should download the International version is the US English version OK I live in the UK by the way

I have more or less sorted out the components for my new build and just need some final advice on all the extra items I may need. (By extra items I mean cables, ties etc and those items that do not come with OEM)
I am using a mATX mobo in an Antec SLK3000B Midi Tower Case.
The AMD Athlon...
I am thinking of buying the Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply for a new build but am a bit concerned over a couple of points
1. It does not seem to have the 6 pin socket needed for PCIe cards. Is there a simple workaround for this ie Adapting one of the other leads
2. The...
I do not intend to make too many CPU demands on my system and for me a quite PC is important. So it looks like either the Acoustifan (Dustproof??) or the Nexus 92mm
As I am new to all this I would apprecaite any feedback on which choice (or not) I should make and and any other comments...
Which is the prefered drive the
Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
or Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 250GB ST3250824AS SATA-II 8MB Cache
Both for reliablity and quietness
Thanks

What do I need to test the various components of a new build (EG memory etc) I have seen references to various items of software but would like a comprehensive list (and where to get them from) so I am well prepared
Also what would be the prefered sequence of operations when testing
Many...
If I want to fit my own CPU cooler then am I right in thinking that I need the OEM or are there any other considerations (I am thinking here of AMD 939 FX and X2)
Many thanks

I have decided to take the plunge and build a PC. I last did this around 6 yrs ago so am a bit rusty. I use it a lot for software devlopment (my business) and apart from that just want to do a spot of video editing (I have recently bought a Topfield PVR from which I can download TV recordings...
Actually I built 2 systems some years ago but not kept up to date with recent developments I dont have time to do the research right now and just want a good system I can rely to get me started and to which I can develop
