I believe in future proofing, it's there to an extent. For instance when the 754 and 939 socket launched, it was pretty much understood to go for the 939 as it would be supported for a lot longer than the 754 was, to me that's future proofing, my belief anyway, as for his PSU, he has my old...
Helping my neighbor is build a rig, though I know what would be best for him overall if he had the funds
His current rig is
AMD64 4200+ (939 socket)
1GB Crucial Ballistix
ATI 1900XT
He has a meager budget of 490, so here's his options
buy 2GB of ram coupled with the 8800GT...
Hey, I have a problem with my new rig. Plugged everything up set the switches to the correct places, and I can't even get my PC to boot up, (the mobo's power switch won't even power on the system
I can see that the standby led is on, I've tried taking every apart and putting back together...
I saw the DFI CFX3200 requires a 8pin power connector along with the 24 power connector. I was wondering does the Antec SP-500 have a 8 pin or would I have to buy a 4 pin to 8 pin convertor
Like he said, it should take a few days of real studying to get Hiragan and Katakana down, using them helps you to remember them. A kanji character a day is smart, I do 3 a day. But then again I haven't studied Japanese for years
I've been reading the specification book on both the Platinum and non-platinum version, and I have a question
In the platinum book, it keeps referring to nForce 3 Ultra chip, while the non platinum version refers to it's chip as nForce 4 SLi.
I'm going to assume that it's a misprint?
I have XP on a SATA and I have my old HDDs on ATA,. When I bootup into XP it gives that little bubble saying that I can safely remove hardware. I keep recognizing my ATA harddrives as USB harddrives. Everything moves VERY slow. My CPU usage pings 100% all the time What gives?
Not to kill all happiness in this thread. But what does the R520 have to do with the G80? The R520 will still use traditional Pixel and vertex shaders. It's yet ANOTHER extension of the R300 core, they're just including SM3.0 and other stuff........basically the R520 is the catch up model to...
I've had my setup for some time now, and I have a problem, that popped up yesterday. I went in to add my other HD to my rig, (took it out eariler) and I got MAJOR glitches @ the bootup and Bios screen. It won't boot into windows it, as soon as it get past the windows bootup sequence, I get a...
True, but unfortunately you are not the representative for the ATi !!!!!! camp, if more people were like you, there would be less bickering about stupid stuff.
Not arguing against that, I just hate the !!!!!!s who think ATi is a better company @ building graphics cards.....when they've barely...
Wow...........I idle @ 45 and I'm happy...........I should look into a new HSF I see, I'm using a Artic Cooling one right now as it came with my NV5 cooler.
Any suggestions, I want to keep it quiet
EDIT: Sorry if I'm "thread jacking"
This a stupid argument IMO, I tend to like Nvidia better as of now, to me they're actually trying. Overall they're equal, but some ATI !!!!!!s are driving me crazy I've noticed this trend
1. Nvidia uses SLI - "Oh it's stupid too much power not enough performance."
ATI announces AMR - "Oh...
Have you used driver cleaner to get rid of the previous drivers before you slapped on the 7 series? If not, that could be the cause of your color static, that or those unlocked pipes are trying to tell you something
Most people don't read Newegg's disclaimer on refurbished products, they clearly state that the MANUFACTURER has refurb'ed the product, not Newwegg. As someone else pointed out, Manufacturer HAVE to restore it to factory condition to call it "Refurbished goods"
