Vid Card? Mobo? or Help!

What's the problem here? Why don't you just turn your computer off and on, or not overclock? Why waste time trying to "fix" something that is a minor inconvenience, and doesn't have that big of a payoff?

Yet Another Advice Request :)

Don't do it Big Chief! The GF2 Ti image quality isn't what I'd call great. I've had several GF2s, a couple of Radeons, I'd go Radeon 7500 for the same price if I had this choice to make. Search for it on Pricewatch.com.

Please recommend a video card.

JC I had a Radeon VIVO for 3-4 mos. and loved it. If you're going that way though I would get the 7500 model, which will be a good deal faster at gaming due to much higher core and memory speeds. (and not much more $) Merry Christmas!

old processor slowing down FPS a ton...?

Hornee: "Getting a 1GHz CPU will improve your case a bit. But don't expect too much out of sub 1200 MHz PCs. " LOL. How much Schlitz Malt Liquor and Ganja did you consume before coughing up this little bit of misinformation. (i.e. stupidity) Yeah, there's no way more then doubling his cpu power...

Did I get a garbage visiontek ti200?

I wonder if it's in Chizow's job description as a moderator to call members names and make back handed threats against them? I'm glad to see some of the other people here see this as wrong, especially the exchanging. Overdose, I can't say I've never run a PC part above spec, and perhaps I...

Did I get a garbage visiontek ti200?

Chizow: You don't bother to respond to what I said because I've dissected your arguments and accusations line by line, and shown them to be the pseudo-intellectual finger pointing and nay-saying Maetryx originally accused you of. This is the way of the PC, to hiss "racist" and then respond to...

Did I get a garbage visiontek ti200?

Chizow: "anyone who uses the term "great person" so freely as a commonly acceptable word for everyday usage is clearly a bigot or just plain ignorant" Hmmm. Are Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy bigots then, or just ignorant? Or are you a member of the PC-Thought Police looking to outlaw the Washington...

BTW- Chizow- Familiar with the term "niggardly"? As in cheap? While there's some debate as in regard to the origins of the slur "great person", cheap and ill-mannered was the effect I was striving for.

Did I get a garbage visiontek ti200?

"The 1996 edition of Webster's defines "great person" as "1. a black person -- usually taken to be offensive. " 2. a member of any dark-skinned race -- usually taken to be offensive" " 3. a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons."" Note definition #3. Note my prefacing said remark...

Did I get a garbage visiontek ti200?

Maybe if you write to Visiontec and tell them you can't run their "garbage" card 50% above spec, they'll send you a new one! Or maybe you should go to Best Buy, return it, make honest people do extra work and lose some money so you can have another chance at a better one! There is a word that...

Best Video Card <$200?

Zenops: "And yes, Anand started at 1.5ghz (or equivalent AMD too) there is no point going any slower. " Really? http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1442&p=5 So a guy with a GF2/Athlon 1GHz is better off running his hi-res Q3 at 43fps than he would be with a GF3 at 70 fps...

Best Video Card <$200?

"n00b"? LOL Jr.. I was in arcades gaming before "Space War", the first video game, came out. I was gaming when "Pong" was as good as it got. And I've been gaming on every PC from the Commodore VIC20 and Apple2 forward. So if by "noob" you mean "guy that's gaming since there have been games", I...

Best Video Card <$200?

Zenyoda: If you would have bothered to follow my link, you would have seen that my 1.4GHz XP beat the 2GHz P4 at RTCW, and all the other games except Q3. As fas as there "being no point in going any slower" you are on crack. I got pretty excellent performance out of my GF3 with a 1 GHz Athlon...

Best Video Card <$200?

"To realize the full potential of a Radeon 8500 or Ti500, you really need a 1.5Ghz processor or better, preferrably with DDR ram on the mainboard." LOL Where did you get that piece of ridiculous misinformation? So, are you saying I'm not realizing the "full potential" of my GF3 on my 1.4GHz...
