poll: voodoo5 or gts-v

Well, that is true, performance is poor. And I do, in fact, play at 800x600x16, no probs at this resolutions everything is still playable. Looks not bad - well V5 16bit color is not that much different from 32bit color. Right now I do play just occasionally and it perfectly still fits my needs...

poll: voodoo5 or gts-v

I just like those useless comments about SUPERIOR nVidia drivers. Thats a plain BS. I still own my V5 and to be honest, I have tried probably almost all games out there recently (well, most of them just a demo), anyway, not a SINGLE driver issue. I have seen friends with GTS - not quite the same...

Geforce4 MX440 - do I really need the fan on it?

Well, if you do not want a fan, buy one of those Zalman special VGA card heatsinks. They are big and from copper, and they claim no fan is needed regardless what card you have. Just take a look at those....

Which anti-virus software ???

Well, yes, I had 2 viruses, each had infected like several files. The one that NAV found was Backdoor.Litmus.Gen virus and thats it. Kaspersky found this one and another one: Backdoor.BO2K.10 So, it was twice as many, since NAV did not find this virus at all. :)

Which anti-virus software ???

What is Geforce4 440 Go like?

Hi! A guy I know just bought a laptop with GF4 440 Go graphics card inside. How does it compare to the normal desktop cards, where does it stand performance-wise approximately? I could not find any side-by side comparison tests out there on the net. Thanks.

Is there an MSCONFIG analogue for/in WinXP ???

How does a voodoo 5 compare?

Well, I think it compares to the Geforce2 GTS and Radeon. The new GF3 and Radeon 7500/8500 are faster. GF4 kicks its ass for sure. V5 is faster than Geforce2MX in most games that I have seen, except for maybe Quake3 or something. I have this card for more than a year now and it is great as all...

Help, can't install RAD 7500 on my machine!

Move the card (whatever You might have in there) from the 1st PCI slot (closest to AGP) to another one. This can help sometimes since the IRQ of the 1st PCI slot is shared with the AGP port. Or read Your mobo manual, it clearly states what is sharing what with what. But I am sure all ASUS boards...

Old Computer/New Video Card - Opinions?

In fact Papst fans are more quiet than the Sunon fans Tetsuo is referring to. I got one of those 80x80 12dB fans - well, it is just absolutely SILENT.

It has 50 grams of pure silver in the heatsink but it is very, very heavy in total - much more than the CPU manufacturers recommended weight for a HSF. No problems due to weight have been reported, however.
