Bootloader is on the slave drive(ntldr). Plus the system is set to boot from hd1 not hd0. If the boot record wasn't there it would have never started up win xp. IBM drive boots immediately.
I have a WD 80GB 7200rpm harddrive. I had it a few months in my system which is a P4 2.53Ghz with Iwill P4GS i845G board. This drive was always secondary to my IBM 20GB drive, but I do have my win xp installed on it. I have started to experience a delay during a boot time. Before it starts...
I am scratching my head here. I just got this isane idea to switch from my trusted XP pro to windows 2003. I got a free license so it really seems tempting. I sometimes play games, and mostly do coding in vs or borland( yes I am cs major that is arrogantly dumb about his operaitng systems and...
referring to the post about buying a 9500NP. it will be harder to get rid of the card when I am going to be getting something else. 9500NP will be two generations old and no matter how hard people are educated about the cards, it won't work that easily. 9600 pro oc's nicely still. BTW mods don't...
That's the sweetest deal I have seen so far from a reliable retailer. The other two good places to buy the ATI build 9600 Pro is Mwave $167(No shipping +9.50 ground) and Googlegear $176(shipping included).
supposedly, sapphire will clock their 9600Pro cards heigher too. Sapphire seems to be the best bet so far. There are a couple of retailers with questionable practices that have it in stock, but I am not going to buy from them. What settings is power color 9600 Pro clocked at?
thanks dude. I think i am going to give up on VIVO unless I swivel toward FX 5600 256 mb. Nvidia is pulling some "tricks" out of their drivers. I wonder if ati is going to nail out something cool soon.
The price difference is not that significant between the two. Just how much am I going to benefit from buying the pro version. Also are there any 9600 or 9600 Pro cards carrying VIVO? So far I didn't find anything. Is there some sort of an addon or adapter that I can buy to add that feature later?
I just can't make up my mind. XFX board is really dirt cheap and albatron is almighty powerful. Does anyone have anything to say about XFX?I have plenty of 3Com cards laying around so the lack of onboard lan is not a problem. I wonder if XFX board could be OC'ed at least marginally.
Just a...
