    Gotta give some props to my 9 year old AMD system...

    Ha probably not. I found that Bartons were faster than the early northwood P4's and then the S754 and S939 were faster still. The only problem with the bartons was keeping them cool, they were little fireballs.

    New build, new card....but which one?

    It really shouldn't be any worse than running it right-side-up, since the video cards are plugged in perpendicular to the mobo (i.e. there will be the same amount of tension on the slot whether the case is upside down or not).

    Nvidia 8600M GT

    The minimum recommended spec is a 512MB DX9.0c card, so theoretically it will "run". However, the 8600GT is a very weak card for gaming. Considering it struggles to run games well from 4-5 years ago, it is very unlikely it will run the game with any level of image quality, resolution or decent...

    3DMark06 results for new setup.

    The score should be about 8000 for AMD X2 4600+ 8800GTS and about 9000 for C2D systems and then you gain about 10-20% with a good overclock.

    SLI problem - only 1 GPU being used to render

    I would think either your board doesn't work probably with SLI anymore due to chipset problems or possibly that little connector you use to connect the two cards together isn't working properly. Make sure your drivers are working in SLI too, I remember when I was using SLI last summer...

    Can a 430watt PSU power a 7800GT? well for the time being before I upgrade

    Really depends on the ampage on your 12V line. I have a 450W OCZ Modstream and it powers my 7800GTX overclocked just fine.

    Looking to sell my Built by ATI Radeon 9500 PRO. It's 128-bit 128MB AGP8X, 8 pipes. No this one doesn't unlock (it's already full 8 pipes), but it's basically identical to a 9700PRO except with lower clocks. It comes with an 80mm aftermarket fan with a big heatsink and small heatsinks on the...

    High Venice Temps/ not enough AS5?

    Those temps are fine. 43C Load is pretty amazing. My 3700+ San Diego is 32C Idle and 43C load with a Zalman 7000ALCU.

    Seller Responsibility

    I would say that even though it was uninsured, you still owe the buyer anti-DOA for an item of this nature. If it arrived damaged the packing wasn't good enough (unless it was obvious that the box was crushed by USPS or something like that). It must be packed to survive any amount of shaking or...

    Convert music file to a higher bit rate?

    You can up the bit rate but it won't do anything for sound quality. The quality is only as good as it was originally recorded at and you go down from there; ie. you can't record at say 128kb/s and up it to 320kb/s for better quality. The file will still be at 320kb/s, but the quality will be...

    ATI x800 XL 256MB or Nvidia 6800 GT (OC) 256MB?

    If you OC the 6800GT to Ultra speeds, then it's faster than the X800XL in every area so it's a no brainer. Not to mention that like 95% of the GT's will overclock to Ultra speeds easily. Plus if you get a BFG 6800GT card you get a lifetime warranty and none of ATI card makers offer that.

    A+ Exam.

    I just took the test earlier this summer. It's about 60-75 questions I think. You need to know most of the hardware stuff they tell you even though some of it hasn't existed since pre 1995, but it's still on the test. The toughest thing is remembering the memory addresses for all the devices and...

    Intel user switching over to AMD... which board?

    I heard the NF3 boards are nothing but trouble, but some people like them so I guess it's luck of the draw.

    Intel user switching over to AMD... which board?

    He said he needs AGP and that DFI board is S939. Go for the Asus A8V Deluxe or the Abit AV8 or anything else that's VIA K8T800 PRO based. This gives you AGP8X and most of the features of the newer NF4 Ultra boards. I don't see why you would go NF3 when the VIA boards are rock solid and have...

    Intel user switching over to AMD... which board?

    Another option is the Asus A8V Deluxe, as Via's K8T800 PRO chipset is rock solid and overclocks decently as well. The Nforce and Via chipsets have all the same features too, so either board is a good buy.

    why doesnt Intel release a 4Ghz?

    I was under the impression that Pentium M was built from the ground up on new architechture. Is it based on Netburst architecture? And to make it plausible now, all intel has to do is release a desktop chipset for it that has Dual Channel Memory and all of the features of their desktop P4...

    why doesnt Intel release a 4Ghz?

    Yeah the whole not using the pentium M for desktops is ridiculous. Only a few companies are making mobos and slot converters to utilize it. If intel officially supported it, they would have the upper hand on AMD by far. I have seen benchmarks of a Pentium M 1.8 GHz Dothan, that they put in one...

    CPU load reguarding Multipiers?

    I think the load temp will be a bit lower with a higher multiplier/lower fsb as opposed to a lower multiplier/higher fsb. This is just based on my old 2500+ unlocked barton; with it set at 166 fsb and 13 multi it was 42C Load, but with it set at 185 fsb and 11 multi the load temp was 52C...

    64-bit vs 128 bit

    The difference is pretty big. The memory bandwidth is halved so even if the 64 bit memory is running double the speed of the 128 bit memory, their bandwidth is still the same. I would always take the highest bandwidth available for any card. The 9550 is already crippled as it is with just 4...

    Prediction for the Death of AGP

    If AGP is dead, then why are they just starting to make boards that have the PCI-E on the northbridge and then an AGP 8X slot that is controlled by the south bridge? There is still higher demand for AGP cards than there is for PCI-E cards. I think the situation is similar to RDRAM when it...
