My front fan NEVER spins that hard 0.o

[31pockets]

@TheNewbpowner123 The fan runs faster with the 3.8ghz and to help slow it down you will need the 4gigs of ram and a better video card to help take the back up off the CPU, if you don't have at least 4gigs in the PC you should take out the CPU till you do!

i have a dell desktop computer with intel pentium 4 2.80GHz and 512 mb of ram i wanna turn it into a gaming pc so could i use a 3.80GHz CPU and im gonna upgrade memory to 6gb and change the graphics card , wat cooling should i use?

water/air whats the difference???

[31pockets]

@0soHaloPc OK, that would be fine but you need the 4gigs of ram to use the 3.8ghz CPU and video card is a PC express port and very simple to deal with, I have windows 7 in one of my 5150's now and it works pretty good.

The PC's I use for my youtube channel for editing are dell xps 430 quad cores to handle HD.

@31pockets um..how do i know which graphics card would work with my desktop computer, which 1 would fit and since it is an old dell pc what ram could i install

[31pockets]

@0soHaloPc you will need one to fit the PC express port in the case, the one I used in this video was a little to small and outdated, I would try a 1gig card!

thanks for sharing your videos , I like them !

inorder for me to install the processor do i need 4x1gb ram?

[jumpinjack1]

Thanks for making these vids, a little slow on talking but that's alright lol, I have a dell gx 520 op'plex which is about the same as this on the vid, it has a 3.2 ghz pentium 4 single core processor/2 gigs of ram (upgrading to 4) and I'm running into the same problems when making vid's It works ok with adobe pre. pro cs4 video editing but with any length on the clips it will start to get choppy especially when scrubbing video (but doable)

64 bit systems i'm told take care of the ram short'g

[glennen2]

This fella doesn't know what he is talking about. He says that the CPU "Guzzles" the RAM and that is why it only shows 2.4GHz!!!! CODSWALLOP!!! It is ONLY because the 32bit OS isn't capable of reading any higher than 3.25GB with the exception of some Windows 7 OS's which sometimes read 3.5GB. Supposedly there is a "Patch" that can enable a 32bit system to read and display the whole 4GB...which I have tried and didn't work.

So what is the motto? Don't believe everything you read or see!!!!
