Galaxy GeForce 9500 GT 95TGE8HUFEXX Video CardOptimize Your Game Play with the Galaxy 95TGE8HUFEXX GeForce 9500 GT Video Card

If you want good performance from your graphics card at half the price of the best models and brands, you should consider looking up the Galaxy 95TGE8HUFEXX GeForce 9500 GT Video Card. Its statistics are nearly on par with the best video cards with one exception. It has a slightly low number of stream processors. Specifically, it has 32 of those modules. The high end video cards may have up to 400 stream processors.

Not everyone is into 3D computer gaming and the Galaxy is precisely for those people who need to work on graphics rendering and animation. Programs like Autocad and Adobe Photoshop could use the updated technology that goes into this video card.

The Galaxy is compatible with PCI Express computer expansion card slots. This model comes after and is made with a different technology from the plain PCI card slots of way back. As a result the PCIE card slots perform much faster than their older counterparts. The 1x PCIE is 1.18 times faster than its counterpart and 16x PCIE cards can exceed their PCI versions in speed 29 times. This means that the Galaxy will allow you to play your animations seamlessly and fast.

The Galaxy comes with a processing speed or core clock of 550 Mhz which is only 200 Mhz less than some of the best graphics cards available on the market. The number stated is the speed at which the graphics processor works.

The effective memory clock of this video card is 800 Mhz which gives the video card and bandwidth of about 3 gigabytes per second. In simpler terms, this means that 3 gigabytes of graphics data can be accepted and processed by the video card per second. You can imagine how efficient this video can be.

The memory chips used for the Galaxy video card are the just right for the kind of speed with which the card can work. This means that if you don’t overwork the video card, you won’t burn the memory chips.

On top of all those features, the Galaxy is priced low enough for the purpose that it is supposed to serve. It won’t do to play 3D computer games with this card. However, for working with 3D images and animation, it is more than ideal.

MSI P43-C51 ATX Intel MotherboardMSI products have gotten some flack as of lately—probably undue, though. With products such as the P43 ATX, MSI won’t receive high-accolades from hardcore gamers with incredibly deep pockets. It will, however, receive a lot of praise here and among other serious gamers who don’t necessarily have 200 bucks to shell-out on a shiny new Rampage board.
First, it’s a great thing to see support for up to the Quad and Core 2 Extreme chipsets—as well as PCI Express modules (16x). Also, the 3 gig/s SATA 6 ports make up for just about any “lacking” in the connectivity department, at least from my prospect. It’s been overclocked at 3.6 gigahertz stable and has a very solid overall infrastructure. Here’re a couple more facts about the MSI P43-C51 (a mouthful, yes!)

  • Bus speed knocks out 400 megahertz
  • RAM is an awesome 800 megahertz (for this segment)
  • Stability is above-average when it’s pressed to its limits
  • 16 Gigs of memory supportable
  • 8 Channel audio
  • Some hardcore game junkies would like RAIDsupport, but they pay a pretty penny for it often times
  • It needs a dedicated firewire port
  • Needs a processor heatpipe

    It’s a mid-range motherboard and it’s going to, accordingly, have mid-range features, accessories and performance specs. That said, it’s fairly comparable to earlier model Intel or AMD-based Rampage models—which is saying a lot. And I might receive a seething scolding from Rampage fans, but that’s about what it boils down to.

    That really sums it up. It’s worth repeating that it won’t satisfy hardcore gamers, but it’s a serious contender for the 80-100 dollar market range of motherboards. Some of the additional benefits that give it a little boost are: it’s easy to install, has a simple layout (for even the beginner gamer), and supports speeds that are very acceptable in this range.

    Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z ChassisThe Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z Black ATX Mid Tower Makes Sure Your Computer Never Overheats

    In average room temperatures, computer casings with defective temperature proofing will feel warm to the touch. Mostly this is due to the fact that the memory chips of the computer are doing a lot of work. Some computers which have overclocked processors can overwork their memory chips so that they heat up and raise the temperature inside the casing.

    If heating up of the pc is not addressed and is allowed to continue for a period of time, the motherboard itself may burn out.

    The Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z Black ATX Mid Tower computer casing is designed to counteract elevated temperatures within the computer and prevent your losing your investment in a short time. It is fitted with four big fans to ensure the free flow of cool air throughout the inside of the computer. The speed of the fans may be adjusted depending on how hot the temperature outside is. Higher settings will be more appropriate for hot climates.

    The fans are well fixed in their places and are sturdily made so that they do not make noise even when set to high speed. They have LED lights attached and the color of these lights may be changed to suit the preference of the user. The lights and the fans may also be turned off. The fans on the side panel are so attached that they don’t have to be unwired to remove the panel.

    The 3 lighted fans have a single 4-pin molex to attach to while the back fan which is unlit has its own 3-pin molex close by. You need to attach the lighted fans to their molex behind the hard disk rack by removing the right panel first.

    The Thermaltake has a lot of room inside while looking streamlined outside.

    After everything is in place, you can expect to keep running your pc in overclock mode without heating it up.

    The Corsair Dominator RAM is the Latest and Best DDR2 Technology Available Today

    The pride of Corsair’s line of DDR2 memory chips and the latest member of XMS2 technology is the Corsair Dominator RAM. These memory chips are made specifically for computers running on the latest operating systems; Vista and Windows 7.

    Anyone who has ever used these systems on a computer with standard DDR or DDR2 memory chips will have experienced slowness and lag when they open up applications or perform system functions. While it may be possible to overclock the cpu of the computer to achieve greater speed, that may result in the memory chips overheating and will eventually lead to a system crash.

    It is not just operating systems which are memory-hungry nowadays, the latest versions of popular applications, including games, animation programs and Microsoft programming suites will need the your cpu to run at maximum overclocked speed for ease of use. Overclocking, by the way is making your cpu run faster than its declared speed. Not all cpu’s can be overclocked though. The highest overclocked speed on which a Windows system was run is 800 mhz.

    The tendency to burn the memory chips is a deterrent to speeding up the computer … previously, that is. With the Corsair Dominator RAM, you can set your cpu to perform at speeds of 800 mhz without the risk of toasting your memory chips and crashing you computer.

    Heat generated and contained in the Corsair Dominator RAM is diffused in two ways. First, the conventional (but much improved) aluminum heat-spreader technology is applied to siphon out the heat from the memory chips and release them into the air.

    Secondly, the manufacturers of Corsair Dominator RAM invented a method that they call the Dual-Path Heat Exchange (DHX). The mechanism involves mounting the memory chips at a higher elevation than usual on the motherboard. The extra height serves to house a medium which transfers some of the heat in the memory chips down to the copper groundings of the motherboard.

    Motherboards that are Corsair Dominator compatible usually have more copper at the base of the circuitry to absorb heat from the memory.

    With two systems working to keep the memory chips cool, maximizing your computer’s speed will no longer be an issue to deliberate on.
