I understand the signal wave forms are being distorted and compressed into a smaller time slice which makes telling the difference between a 1 and 0 much tougher. That makes total sense to me. I thought you were trying to make the case that a byte that consisted of 01011001 would not be...

The raid controller is a bit tricky to do a fresh OS install on. Maybe that is the trouble he ran into. Not sure where the interrupt issue comes in though, unless he is blue screening after he runs the WinXP or 2K setup and it gives him a memory address, etc that looks like an interrupt?? I...

The motherboard owners manual also mentions a problem with the Nforce chipset that is caused when cards are inserted/removed. The fix he used is the one they recommend. When all else fails read the manual.....

Kyle, Can you elaborate on this quote from your article: This was in relation to Prime95 not working with 325 Mhz FSB. What does OC'ing the FSB have to do with the position of the 1's and 0's? Hopefully you were being sarcastic in your statement, but if you were serious please...

I figured it out. Basically I am a dumbass. The power supply I have is an Enermax 550 EPS (for Dual Xeon systems) and you have to hook an adapter on it for standard ATX power with the 4 pin plug for AMD compatibility. I hooked the standard ATX adapter on, BUT did not realize you need to...

Just got an A64 3500+ (939 pin / 90nm) + MSI K8N Neo2 Plat and when I turned it on the fan on the CPU and Video card do not spin. The LED indicators say the processor is incorrectly installed. Examining the CPU shows no issues (how do you install a ZIF socket cpu incorrectly?). This probably...

There is currently no Vcore adjustment.

The concept of SLI a great one. Where things will start to fall down is when games become CPU bound. D3 et al do not do any sort of multi-threading and none of the developers seems to care about it. With all the dual core cpus in the pipeline hopefully the next generation of FPS and...

Hey, stop taking my name in vain!!!!! :D

*Bump* Good info in here.

This was covered yesterday in this forum. Just do a search.

It is true, but easy to fix. Just edit the .config file and turn on muzzle flash. No reports of it seriously impacting performance.

There is a "Server Full" bug with Doom 3. It falsely tells you the server you are trying to connect to is full when it is not. The fix is to copy the IP address of the server you wish to connect to into the IP Connect box and click connect. It works every time. :cool: -Nv

It really was not much of a hassle. I installed the 4.9 cats and the game does seem smoother. I have not checked the before/after frames per second though. Almost everyone seems to see some improvement with the 4.9's. Note, uninstall your current drivers first (Start>Control...

When you go into multiplayer mode there is a menu of Servers that you can connect to a' la QIII. There are various columns that show the name of the server, the ping, the game type and how many people are playing. When you click on the column headings it is supposed to sort by the column you...

Any FPS that has Turkey Puncher in the Mess Hall can't be all bad. :D

Any else notice a couple problems with the Multiplayer mode and Server connections in Doom 3. The problems I saw were: 1. The column sorting (Ping / Players/ Password-NoPassword / Match Type) did not work properly. 2. The filtering (Pw-No Pw/Full-Not Full/Match Type) does not work properly...

Try disabling Fast Writes.

Hitachi CML LCD's have 12 ms response. They are not too expensive and are decent quality based on my experience.

yeah, I guess I am being a little greedy there. :D

He is definitely entitled to his opinion. Also, given the great performance he is currently getting with single cpu systems maybe there IS no justification for SMP. I only wonder if his thinking will need to change as we move forward in gaming / graphics engine design.

I'm just surprised that's all. If SMP was attempted in Q3 there must have been at least one person at id that thought it would be beneficial. I am thinking down the road as well. We read all about multi-core cpus coming from AMD and Intel. The current batch of P4's already has HT. It...

Yeah Xipher, it's a big mystery to me how it works. No way Carkmack could figure it out either. I guess we just ain't bright enough.

No SMP really sucks. I cannot believe it is "that" difficult to add. This game took 4 years to make. How hard would it be to do a little multithreading? Dual Cpu / Dual GPU (SLI) is just around the corner. Work with us on this one JC.

:D I made through all 31 pages. Yesssss.

Take a pass on that Abit VIA based socket 939 mb. Go with the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum! It 0wnZorz all other socket 939 boards. Again, check Anandtech for a full review....

I believe Microsoft Office (one of the early versions that worked w/ WFW 3.1) had in excess of 25 floppy disks. It was a very brutal install process.

It would make sense that the game would take advantage of HT at minimum. In addition, when the DM servers start running larger and large maps and #'s of players. SMP would be of great benefit I would think. I really hope the support is there because I believe the standard gaming platform of...

Since there was limited support for SMP in QIII is there any improved support or multithreading done in DIII for those of us with HT capable CPUs or Dual CPU systems? Anyone know? Beuller?

nvrmind. stupid html.

Your problem is that you have fast writes enabled. Turn off fast writes then reboot. The end.

Two pictures: 56k Beware. DPI 533 assembled and DPI 533 -Nv

They raised the issue of no heatsinks on the mosfets at 2cpu also. I wonder why they are no longer necessary. Maybe has something to do with the dual 4 phase vrm's they have incorporated.

This board will be sweet if we can get it here in the good ol' US of A. Iwill Website Imagine what we will be able to do with the 400/533 MHz Xeon's on this board. Hopefully we can buy this in this US at some point.

Just spend $2.50 on some Hydrex from swiftech. It will kill anything that lives in your water.

fdisk can recover the MBR by using the following command: fdisk /MBR fdisk assumes your C: drive is where you want the MBR repaired. Give it a shot. Otherwise, you might try sysinternals.com for some tools.

Just bite the bullet and go phase change. You can pick up a used Prommy Mach I for around $250. No real dangers with liquid athough there is some refrigerant in the system.

Recently they seem to have improved their responsiveness. My MCP600 stopped moving water, so I contacted Swiftech. Within 3 hours they emailed me back with an RMA number and within 24 hours they shipped me a replacement pump head via UPS ground. I should get it next year sometime (Yes, UPS...

I broke down and visted the local tropical fish store and picked up a 250 GPH Magdrive pump. It was "only" $72.00. Once I got it installed (boy is it fun switching out a pump with water in the tubing) my temps were back in line where I expected them. CPU0 was around 27C and CPU1 was 35C...

Buy from Kit-tronics.com (www.kit-tronics.com) in Canada they are cheaper than ANY US reseller AND they have great service and support. I live in the US and bought mine from them. They were great before and after the sale. I have not been too impressed with FrozenCPU both with sales and...
