Well don't you need to reinstall xp to make sure all of the nvidia junk is out of there? If you do that and then have problems I would return it, but as we have been discussing a fresh copy of xp is important. The system is set up for nvidia drivers and I doubt by uninstalling the drivers you...
So if you want good performance then it is probably worth it to reinstall xp. Wouldn't want to buy a top of the line vid card and wonder if you are getting the full benefit. I have heard about det destroyer and others, but have always been told a fresh install is best.
Good to hear some positive driver experiences. I am still undecided about which card to get. If I go ati I am going to have to reinstall xp, which is kind of a pain. Thanks for the info.
This is an old topic, but everytime I am just about to buy a radeon 9800pro I read one of these driver posts. The review sites can't say good enough about ati and never have driver problems. The other thing I wonder about is nvidia making deals with game developers. The last three games I...
correct. I forgot to say something about how two sticks of ddr would be much better than your one 512. As far as ddr466 who knows. It is probably just overclocked 433 or 400. More important is the cas rating-go for 2 whenever possible. Also the lower the nanosecond the better. My geil ddr 433 is...
1. Will I have wipe out and do a complete reinstall of Win2K? I have a LOT of stuff on my HDDs, and whereas I know the wipeout is the best thing to do, I just dread that.
I am not exactly sure about Win2000, but with XP a fresh install is a must. There is just too much that can go wrong...
NST,
what are your voltage settings for cpu and ddr? I am unstable at 3gigs with my 2.4B, but haven't bumped the voltages more than one notch. Good to fsb160 then it reboots during a benchmark. I would be curious how far you had to push them if at all to get stable at 167fsb. What are your...
cpu-z-118c must be wrong because it tells me I am in performance mode under the memory setting whether I set the cpu strap to 533,667 or 800. I was confused about how to turn it off. I have not noticed any benefits from setting the strap to 667. My best performance with a 2.4B so far is 533...
I think it is just for the IC7. I downloaded it before I realised it was for the canterwood boards. Maybe one will come our way soon. Thanks for yur response.
orion,
you said in an earlier post that you could disable PAT/GAT in the bios. In bios 13 I cannot find a way to disable it. You can set everything to auto under GAT, but that doesn't disable it according to cpu-z-118c. I also read that running anything besides 1:1 disables GAT, but when I...
well I looked at the abit website and it seems that many are having heat issues. There is speculation that Abit's heat sensors measure the temp too high. Maybe they can rcalibrate the sensor in a bios update. Oh well I am done worrying about this...until my computer blows up...
Hey is anyone having heat issues with the IS-7? My pld intel PEBT2 board with the same cpu ran very cool even after gaming. My 2.4B (at stock speed) is getting up to 50C in the IS7 after playing Q3 for a while which seems hot for a P4. When I put in the new board I reapplyed some thermal...
Maybe a dumb question..but? Is the Game Accelerator option (and all the stuff below it) in the new bios PAT or is it somewhere else in the bios?
I am running two 256 sticks of Geil DDR4300 in a IS-7 and having no problems. I think this must be pretty good ram. I have tried a bunch of...
You can set the memory speed, but not the ratio. When I got the board there was an option to choose 333, 266 or 200. After updating the bios I now only have the option to choose 266 or 200. The newer bios does allow for a slight fsb boost so its not all bad. I also read about another person with...
Yes, but how about some ideas as to whether there will be a noticeable performance gain. Most people that would post about the difference between 266 and 333 ram speeds are somewhat obsessed! LOL!
I have the same board and the same situation. I have a 512 stick of corsiar DDR266 with a 2.4B and the D845PEBT2. Board is great eventhough you can only overclock 4%. I have been thinking about picking up some crucial DDR333, but have been wondering if I will really notice the difference. Yes...
I have the same board and noticed that the 333 option went away when I upgraded the bios. I also have DDR266, but need to get some 333. I don't want to go back to the earlier bios because this one allows for the 4% overclock. I know its not much, but its something. Eventhough this board has...
