    You're welcome . It should dramatically improve your computing situation. I suggest getting a better memory kit when you can. This one or this other one for example. The best way to search on eBay is for a specific kit or a line (like Corsair Dominator or Vengeance or Mushkin Blackline, etc.)

    Best kit I can find new (old stock?): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zsT...y-pv316g186c0k

    You won't need anything as long as your kit runs on the board but 16GB should be a pretty significant improvement on the usability front. You can check the support list if you want to search up specific kits.

    I wouldn't update the BIOS unless there's some issue. Hopefully you'll be able to find a case soon.

    I got distracted I'll do that shortly.

    too bad I can't do it right now but those both look like good deals maybe if I get a full refund I will if they're still available.

    Thanks. You should be able to get video output via the analog output if you want it. I don't know 480i works over component but it likely does. Hold the power button when turning on until you here a beep and it'll force a video mode reset.

    The PC part picker link has NE and Amazon links. Those will probably stay in stock for a while and it's a decent kit though the timings aren't too tight.

    it actually works on my tv the drive is working fine.
    I usually don't like buying from amazon unless it's third party due to amazon charging tax and shipping(unless you have prime) it's usually full price shipping too.

    Excellent . Some games will probably look fine while others will be illegible or hard to read. I'm not up to date and this might be avoidable but, as far as I know you need a PS3 game in the drive if you play disc games from HDD.

    Understandable, I try not to use Amazon when I can avoid it.

    I used to a lot. I've been a little tempted to get prime but I don't buy from them enough every month to justify it.

    For pkg titles it's not necessary. You should be good to delete the user accounts on there but you can also just make your own and set it as the default.

    I dumped them a while ago. Rates had gone up too much, friends stapled onto the account didn't want to shell out more, and I wasn't buying enough there to justify it when I had in the past.

    maybe if they did it in tiers like $5 a month for just the free shipping then go up from there with the other added crap like music and video there's little to no chance they'd do that.
    what size was the hdd in the ps3?

    Unlikely. The other services are pennies to run for them but the shipping has a real cost. I would've happily ditched such services if it were an option but I still would've cancelled it at some point.

    I believe it's 80GB with 70 some usable. Kind of sucks for PS3 since you'll only be able to have one or two big games sitting on the drive but it's livable.

    If you have a larger 2.5" drive I think you can safely swap it in and now would be the time to do it. I recall skimming through the PSX Place thread and thinking it sounded like it wasn't worth the trouble though.

    Yeah it's actually easier to install larger hdd before you instal cfw on ps3.

    I've always done it that way.


    You can pull 500gb drives from junk pvr's and the like, that's how I got most of mine.
