As I mentioned above, it's better to leave out the battery. For example, I have a Palm V PDA that has a Li-ion battery that's still going strong after 2.5 years. My friend on the other hand bought his only about a year ago and his battery is noticeably weaker. The difference was I would wait...
Best thing to do probably is to remove the battery when you're using AC power only. Only have it in when using it away from the outlet. Batteries don't like to be continually charged either.
The GF4 will definately help you out in WC3. I had a P4-2400 shackled with a GF2 ti200 and sucked with WC3 at 1280X1024X32. After GF4 ti4200 I can play at 1600X1200X32 with no slowdowns at all. Looks so much better!!
I ended up buying a 128mb card after hearing Quake 3 will be using 80mb textures. On a 64mb card means using main memory to help hold textures and that will mean a major slowdown, since they'll have to be repeatedly transferred over the AGP bus.. Then again you can always turn down the texture...
Anyone remember the Seagate ST-225 20mb 5.25 inch HD? It had a blazing 80msec seek time! Aren't cdrom's faster? I think it maxed around 512K/sec on data transfers
I have it still spins up, but I don't have an mfm controller anymore... Anyone have any of those hanging around?
Didn't a number of sites b'mark the 64mb vs 128mb version and in a few b'marks (I think it was RTCW or Jedi II) the 128mb scored much better than the 64mb. Probably secondary to the larger textures in these games.
It wouldn't exactly be pointless since the quality of the image would be dependent on the monitor's ramdac instead of the GPU's ramdac and filters. Therefore, potentially raising the 2d quality of an NVidia card. Also you bypass the signal degredation that sometimes happens with an analog...
Are these cards even worth it? At $215, it isn't much of a stretch to fork over $20 more and get a genuine 4400 with BGA memory chips rated at 3.8ns...
I had the exact same setup and exact same o/c results with my 1.8A from newegg. I can get it up to 2.4 but I need to crank the voltage up to 1.775 I don't feel comfortable at that voltage (besides prime95 temps seem to scale exponentially above 1.7V) so I dropped it down to 2.3 and have been...
Afraid of jail time? Yeah right! These executives are just gonna get slaps on the wrist after they use a paltry sum of the millions they made on the stock on $$$ lawyers. I really don't think this was a simple suicide, it's very easy to make it look like a suicide. Especially the way he was...
I'm running at 133Mhz X 12 (XP1900+)
I could run it at 133 X 12.5 (XP2000+?), but I got to take the voltage to 1.85
The reason I don't o/c my FSB is 'cuz I got a flakey SCSI card which gives me errors on anything above 138 or so.
But if I remove the SCSI card the fun begins!
I've hit about...
I hope they can pull it off because it's not just a core voltage difference (ie. the difference that was between coppermines and older P2's and p3's), but also a bus signaling difference.
A while ago www.3dchipset.com released a beta modified drivers for the Geforce 2 go chipset... Unfortunately some dumbbutt decided to do a DDOS attack on the website and I can't get it anymore... Does anyone know where else I can get a copy? Or does anyone know how to overclock a geforce 2 go...
My brother recently got this laptop and for the life of me I can't figure out how to stretch the screen so in resolutions lower than 1024X768 the screen fills the whole display... I heard somewhere that it's a BIOS switch, but I don't know how to get it in... What's the key combo?
I'm currently having a party and I'm currently using winamp visualizations to go with the mp3's I'm playing... My DJ finally came in and we hooked up the output of his mixer so it plays into my soundblaster... My question is: Is there a way to get the visualizations to work with the sound coming...
It's the 16mb SGRAM version... It's the only type you can get with the Toshiba.
The only other laptop tha tI know that uses the G2GO is the Dell Inspiron 8000. They offer it in 16mb and 32mb DDR versions. However, as you well know the G2GO is essentially almost the same chip as the Geforce2 MX...
This review here has got some Q3 and 3d mark 2001 scores.
My brother got this Tosbiba laptop and from me messing around with it, it's the fastest laptop in 3d acceleration I've ever used, for the first time I can play 3d games @ 1024X768 on a laptop!
However, there is a large drop in performance...
I have an 1ghz AXIA o'ced to 1.4 at 1.8V on an ASUS a7v133. My question is this can an Agilent Articooler handle this setup? I'm currently running a loud #$% fan with my Alpha cooler and my temps are ranging from 45-57C. I'll feel comfortable if the articooler keeps it at that. Thanks in...
It's an athlon and these suckers run hot! I got used to my P3-800 running all day at 22C then I switch to an AXIA 1ghz--->1.4 and this baby idles all day at 50C goes up to 61C sometimes. I wouldn't worry....
Go to IBM's Travelstar's site...
Here they talk about a 48gb 5400rpm laptop hard drive demon
Too bad my Toshiba laptop didn't come with this
BTW I have the Geforce 2 go in this laptop and it runs rings around my brother's Dell 8000 with the ATI setup
He's pissed that the Dell is actually now...
Hi! Due to me being sick of both Cable modem providers and DSL providers promising me broadband for over 2 years now, I'm now ready to consider using a satellite to get high speed access. I've heard some things about starband, but does anyone have any recommendations or experience with Starband...
The reason they're priced high is that these are RETAIL prices... These chips come with the RAMBUST sticks and fancy boxes that conjure images of men in blue :P I think the ~$350 price only applies to OEMs who don't have to purchase the memory along with it.
Your problem lies with Win95's FAT16 2gb partition limit. If you use win95 to partition/format/and to install you're limited to FAT16 (the file system). I can't remember really when FAT32 came in, but I think it was with win95 OSR2 (correct me if I'm wrong). Anyways, you need to find a way to...
What about Windows 2000 driver performance & compatibility? There are quite of few of us here that use the "professional" OS for gaming :)
Is there any way I can get Dolby digital to work out of SB LIVE? It has a SPDIF output,but no matter what I try with the settings in power dvd I can't get it to work. In other words, I know the Live 5.1 is capable of AC-3 passthrough, is the SB Live Platinum (not a 5.1 model) also capable? And...
