safe ta very much mate :cool:

Hi all, it's been a long time since I was on here and I tried searching around so forgive me if this has been asked a hundred times! Basically my old s754 rig gave up the ghost so I got a shiny new Asus A8V-VM mobo today, along with a new processor. I fitted it all in only to find there's a...

Another problem with BFG UK is that their cards are exclusive to PCWORLD (pretty much like Compusa in the US), who always do their best to scam as much money as possible out of Joe Bloggs. That means that their cards normally end up being the more expensive option for me (every time I've wanted...

Yep there is something pretty weird going on here. I'm going to take it back to the guys it got it from when I get home from work (they're pretty cool on these things). They'll hopefully be able to run some tests to find out whether it's just my card dying (I really hope it isn't). The...

Well I solved the lag issue by downgrading to 67.02 :) Now I just get a BSOD when I exit the game :( Ah well, can't win everything I s'pose

Which forcewares should I go to then? I used to roll on 70s, but I still had the problems on them. I took a video of it trying to do the hl2 stress test (which is meant to be one continuous motion) with my phone. The quality is crap, but it kinda shows what I mean...

fastwrites were already off I turned them back on to see if it had any effect and it just made it worse :(

yep, I used drivercleaner, thinking that it may help I'll have a little lookie in my bios then

Hi guys, I've got the following system: MSI K8N Neo Plat S754 mobo AMD Athlon 64 3000+ S754 1024mb Kingston HyperX memory Galaxy Glacier Geforce 6800GT (with an nvsilencer stock fitted) Big Fat Antec Trueblue PSU (480W I think) and I think that's about all that matters. Nothing is...

Radeon 9600 PROs off ebay...I had 2 out of 5 duds. Trying to save money cost me more, as I had to compensate with 9800 PROs (which was £30 odd more)

Runs fine for me on 1280 x 1024 with AA *points to sig* except for one time when i was in a tank that got blown up and everything starting stuttering and lagging like I was back on the Willamette with the 32mb Radeon 7200, but it only lasted 5 seconds and then everything was normal, so it may...

Ok I have managed to dig out the motherboard's manual that was hidden away in a dark place and it does indeed have a 440LX chipset and the maximum supported processor speed is 333MHz. Looks like this adventure's over then :(. Thanks for the answers anyways everyone.

I might just have to get an athlon xp 2000 (£20) and a SocketA mobo for another £20 then. Thanks for the answers guys, anyone have any ideas how I could go about getting a cheap case that woulld slot into my living room? I'm thinking of getting a bog standard case and modding it a bit.

Hmm there are switches on the motherboard to select a different FSB. I'll try and find the manual for it anywhere to see the highest FSB it supports.

Sorry I'm not all too clued up about this stuff. I was clearing out the garage today and found the old gladiator Pentium 2 233MHz system in pieces. It all still works ecept the hdd, so my idea was to just get a faster slot 1 processor off ebay and turn it all into a htpc system. However, I'm not...
