Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Hello jimmor, Thanks for the info on the VIA chipsets. In general I stay away from their chipsets and try to stick with Intel or Nvidia based boards. Just another log on the fire I guess...... I will say however I really do like this MB, even though it's like a very picky girlfriend! It...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

CPMEE and Jimmor thank you for the reply, I was pretty much thinking the same you both were. I have not flashed a vid card bios in a while(ATI x850pro to x850xt PE AGP), so I will have to brush up on that and give it a try. Thanks so much jimmor for flashing your bios to see the...

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2

Greetings guys and gals, Been lurking, trying to pick up tips here. Just for the record, I have the same settings in my bios as cpmee. My board was purchased at Ewiz in early November and was shipped with 1.5 bios. Been looking for a modded bios that's a little beefier, no luck. I have...

X1950 Pro AGP is coming!

I agree, If the 512MB card runs around $300+, it aint worth it. I will bite only if that card comes down to $250 or less shipped. At this point in time an sli setup would only be $100 more for me anyway. I have a 16/6 6800GS 256MB at 420/1190 and it plays all my games fine. When Vista...

X1950 Pro AGP is coming!

Hi Owen, I had a VNF-350 and a mobile Athlon 2800+, I OC'd it to 2.3 Ghz. Ran great, and that board(Chaintech) overclocks well. I have a 3700+ Newark at 2.95 on a DFI now. You should be able to do well with the new card, and old 6800 too for that matter, if you OC the CPU and vid...

what to do?

O- What kind of MOBO do you have? I would suggest a 512 L2 cache chip such as a 2500+ Barton core if you can find one(probably about $85.00). I would suggest a mobile Barton, but since heat is an issue, you couldn't overclock it too much. Which is too bad because I have 2 mobiles running at...

what to do?

Hi Orwellian, I used to be in the same boat! I had a fx5200 and started getting into games last year. That card was barely cutting it on low settings! I couldn't take it, so started on the upgrade path. I won't list what I have now, I'll get to your situation. NewEgg has an Evga 128MB...

Hi Everybody, I got my new EVGA 6800 gs today (Monarch). SWEET SWEET SWEET I said last week I would report back, well here's the skinny. I have only had it for about an hour. I unlocked the pipes to 16/6 and overclocked the core/mem to 400/1100. I have not done any benchmarking yet. I...

6800GS AGP

How are they getting the core to 400 MHz on the extreme versions of these cards???? It's still the same core! I know you can throw a mega cooler on and go for it, but I have 2 6800le 128 mb cards. One unlocked to 16p/6v the other to 12p/6v. Neither has been able to go stable at above 385...

6800GS AGP

Hello All, Been reading this and other forums to see the story unfold. I also purchased the monarch computer EVGA for $215 + $5. As I look at different pictures of these cards, look at the capacitor and resistor locations. The XFX looks more like the 6800ultra cards, and the EVGA looks...
