nightslicer Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 and is it possible for me to change from a 32bit xp to 64bit windows 7? Quote
KenB Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Hi, If you can - Win7 is the way to go. I doubt though, that an XP system will be totally compatible. Download the Win7 Compatability Advisor tool from here and run it to find out. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20 is it possible for me to change from a 32bit xp to 64bit To run 64 bit Windows you need a 64 bit capable CPU ( Processor ) Yours will only be 32 bit I suspect ( unless you have 64 bit XP installed ? ) Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

nightslicer Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 thank you. i just need to upgrade my psu as it is 230w not 300 :( Quote
KenB Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 System Requirements for the 4350 PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard 300 Watt or greater power supply (350 Watt for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode) is recommended Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/listing.aspx for a list of Certified products 1GB of system memory recommended Installation software requires CD-ROM drive DVD playback requires DVD drive Blu-ray™ playback requires Blu-ray drive and full 1080p display requires a 1080p-capable monitor For Microsoft DirectX® 10.1 support, Windows Vista® Service Pack 1 is required To enable dual mode ATI CrossFireX™ technology, a second ATI Radeon™ HD 4350 Series graphics card, and an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard are required If you are upgrading the PSU I would consider something like 500 Watt. There will not be too much difference in price between that and a 300Watt and if you decide in the future, to upgrade the video card again, at least your PSU would probably cope.

nightslicer Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 could you recommend a cheap certified good quality psu for me please? because im not sure which ones are good. thankyou :) Quote
KenB Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Hi, Any of the following manufacturers are "good": Antec / Corsair / Enermax / OCZ / Thermaltake You have to go with what you can afford. There will be cheaper options but these are known "good" brands. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
