    Posted: 27 Jan 2009 at 11:58pm
Ok, When I start up my pc, I usually open up CS:S (Counter-Strike Source) and play. I dont get lag until about 15 minutes has passed. I get lag which makes me restart my pc so I can play smooth again. Also, If I start up my pc, and I open a program before opening the game, I'll get bad lag also. Please help me.

Specs:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64X2 Daul Core Processor 5200+
2.69GHz
3.25 GB of RAM (Windows XP)
7600 GS (Ordered 8800 GT)

500 should be good, i would say go with 850 tho, if you plan on going into SLI or crossfire with two cards
your 300 Watt psu is def WAY behind the recommended supply of 450+ for most graphics cards

Im just looking for a PowerSupply that works well for my specs right and still got extra WATTS for my pc. So is 585WATT good for my specs:

Specs:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64X2 Daul Core Processor 5200+
2.69GHz
3.25 GB of RAM (Windows XP)
7600 GS (Ordered 8800 GT)

I'm also getting a AMD quad core soon.

So please, guy/girls, is this PowerSupply right?

Adding on, I've chat wth my friend and he says:

Friend (6:17:27 PM): powersupply = POWER your COMPUTER
Friend (6:17:42 PM): "power"
Friend (6:17:50 PM): it supplies it to your computer..
Friend (6:16:50 PM): >.> the powersupply powers the video card.
ME (6:16:59 PM): yeea
Friend (6:17:02 PM): i wouldn't think thats why your lagging

Is he right or wrong? Is it or is it not the powersupply that causing the lag?

I currently found a new Powersupply (600 WATTS)

Is it pretty good? Should I get it? Would you?
