I've inherited a home built (gaming type???) desktop but as I've only used laptops for years now I'm a bit over my head as to what is what. I've managed to get it running (with some help from here) and have managed to over-write the password so ... it"s sitting here running Win7.
I loaded up speccy and here is the overview:
Operating System:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU:
AMD Phenom II X4 945 33 °C
Deneb 45nm Technology
RAM:
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 802MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard:
ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A78T-E (AM3) 34 °C
Graphics:
ASUS VE278 (1920x1080@60Hz)
3072MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner) 31 °C
Storage:
931GB Western Digital WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B1 ATA Device (SATA) 31 °C
119GB ADATA SX900 ATA Device (SSD) 30 °C
29GB Lexar USB Flash Drive USB Device (USB)
Optical Drives:
No optical disk drives detected
Audio:
VIA High Definition Audio
Does anyone have any thoughts about this system?
Is it any good or hopelessly out of date?
I'm a bit confused about the ram - it has 2 4GB sticks yet ... speccy says single channel - can someone explain that to me?
Attached to the motherboard (I presume over the cpu is a device labelled Antec Kuhler H2O 920 - is this a water cooler and if so, do i have to do anything in particular to make it go or .... does it just start with the computer?
Thinking of the cpu - is it overclockable or is that something I should stay away from.
Is the video card any good?
There are actually 4 hard drives - all have wires attached to them but windows only 'sees' 2 of them. any thoughts as to why that would be? Also, the boot drive is easy to identify because it is an ssd but .... is there any easy way for me to determine which of the other 3 drives windows is finding?
there is a optical drive in one of the bays with wires attached to it - windows i guess can't see it - when i push the open door button ... a little green led light comes on and it kinda makes a pathetic noise and the door doesn't budge - safe to say the drive is a goner?
