    Nope, 32-bit colour is as high as it goes.
    With the PSU, the correct way to install it is so the large fan is pointing downwards so it sucks air in from the case. It should never need to be installed so the fan is obstructed.
    As for the CPU, there are a lot of games where a single core will work fine, but Crysis is not one of them. For Crysis, Supreme Commander, and a few other recent games, a dual core is a necessity.

    Oh no, it won't do any damage, but it will just run pretty badly.

    ok thanks

    weeel, if your not busy or nothin, could you give me a bit of help with overclocking my cpu? if its 2.8 GHz, would 3.0GHz be ok? a good idea? Ive never overcloked CPUs before, only graphic cards... Altho my bios wont allow me to, i could use a program to do it... not that im gona play crysis or anything, but id like to drain every bit of performance outa my computer as possible

    thanks sammorris :)

    Software overclocking doesn't usually give very good results. You can try it, but take it very slowly.

    I've not done it myself, so I can't offer you detailed help, but the program of choice seems to be CPUFSB

    I'm afraid I can't really help much beyond this point, I have never tried overclocking prebuilt PCs or software overclocks, oh and no, I've never heard of GML.


    One other thing, forum signatures are a maximum size of 50KB, yours is more than triple that, you'd be wise to cut it down a bit.
