Please Help with Radeon 9500 Pro and image problems

Thanks! I'll try what they said, I actually considered going to the DVI/DB-15 adaptor but it struck me as something that wouldn't do much, I'll try the fast writes too. It still is unclear if fastwrites help much right? Like by deactivating them I won't get crappy performance? Anyways thanks...

Issues between the 423-pin intel 850 and the Radeon 9500 Pro?

The title says it all, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my Radeon 9500 Pro and I thought I should check up on compatibility issues between the two. Neither Dell (the maker of my board) or intel (chipset) websites have anything concerning problems but I thought I should ask around in...

Please Help with Radeon 9500 Pro and image problems

I would agree but I just checked out the ps itself and the sticker on it says its maximum power is 330w. On the Dell forums there are numerous threads that ask if the ps has the juice to run 9700/9800 cards and the answers are mostly yes. So I'm totally confused! Now I know quality is often...

Memory errors with mi Radeon 9500 :`( help me!!!

What I would do is reinstall everything. Reformat the harddrive, reinstall windows, and get the newest drivers for everything along with Dx9. I found Dx9 helped my system alot with little glitches I had running the Radeon 9500 Pro with Cat 3.1 (Cat 3.0a and up like Dx8 and 9 but I found Dx9 to...

Please Help with Radeon 9500 Pro and image problems

My monitor is too old for AGP8x, it's currently running at 4x with fast writes. I've tried all the different drivers, changing which connector the card uses (for power), as well as swapping monitors. Performance doesn't seem to be a problem rather it's something to do with the quality of signal...

Please Help with Radeon 9500 Pro and image problems

Help meeeeeeeeee, I even sunk to using the Dell website troubleshooting guide and now there's disconnected scanners, speaker systems, printers and any other thing that conducts electricity (including my pencil sharpener) sitting outside the computer room. I'm rapidly losing my sanity!! How...

Please Help with Radeon 9500 Pro and image problems

I installed my Radeon into a Dell 8100 and soon after I noticed some funny things going on. The problem is I have this weird "bubbly" oscilations on my monitor. They look kinda like what you get from EMI but I never had a problem with my old card in the same setup with the same monitor in the...

Radeon 9500 Pro F*&CKING up my system - I need some help.

My 9500 Pro has fast writes enabled, but dislikes my PS (I think), I get weird visual glitches (not artifacing) but almost as if I have some source of EMR nearby. Maybe 9500 Pros are the rush job the were rumoured to be:frown:

Looking for a listing of laptops with ATI 9000 or NVidia 4200 To Go

My friend has a Centrino based Acer Travelmate 803-somthing that he absolutly loves, 15" screen, Pentium M @ 1.6Ghz (and it kills P4s at 2.2) and a 64 Mb Ati 9000, plus its pretty light. I must say it is one of the fastest and longest running laptops I've ever seen. If you want a portable...

system:serious problem with my 9500 pro

Yes check the power supply. I have a Dell system with a 250w power supply, which is below spec for the Radeon 9500 Pro, I thought with only one optical drive, one harddrive and minimal PCI cards I'd be ok. WRONG! My Radeon behaves weirdly; it runs slower than on other equal systems (and by slow...

How good are the stock coolers on P4s

So should I use thermal grease even if I'm going to run it at stock speeds? Also I'm operating on the assumption the packaged coolers for the prescott will be similar in capabilities to the current P4 coolers, and since prescott will be at 90 nm it will likely run equal or better than current...

RAM Questions

Cool, thanks. So for the most part these numbers will be controlled by the quality of Ram and how aggressive my timing settings are? I'll be putting them into either an 875 or 865 (when available) Intel mobo so I'm sure if they are bios options they will be properly explained in the manual...

RAM Questions

I checked before I posted. I can't find any clear answers about what the numbers mean. All there is on crucial's site is explainations about DDR Speed, CAS options (which had no real anwer on real life impact of CAS 2 over 2.5, which is why I posted in the first place), and densities. If there...

RAM Questions

Ok, first I'll declare I'm a newbie, so what do all the numbers listed for the ram specs mean? For example: Means what? And when I'm buying how do I go about checking all these things. I'd ideally like to buy from my local store and they carry Corsair XMS, Samsung, Kingston, and some el cheapo...

How good are the stock coolers on P4s

Just wondering, if I'm not overclocking will the stock coolers in the boxed P4s be good enough to keep my system running cool? The case will have one inward fan in the front, one inward on the side (right over the CPU and chipset), one outward on the back and a dual-fan PS. All the fans are 80mm...

Rattling noise from my computer's case?

What case do you have? I only ask because I have a Dell 8100 that rattles and it is the back panel of the case itself. Since Dell and some others use multi-piece cases that open in funny ways, (clamshell, swing-up PS ect.) I find they often start rattling and it's the overly complicated case...

RAM Questions

I'm buying the stuff to build a new system (my first) and I was wondering how much of a difference (both speed-wise and stability) is there between CAS 2.0 and CAS 2.5 DDR RAM (PC3200 for a dual-channel setup)? I won't be overclocking (yet) so all I need is good fast performance at stock...
