I've tried all of the hardware troubleshooting that I know... no dice.
Get this - I decided to put an older Radeon in the computer to try the 6600GT in another machine (one that I would build from old parts) - but before doing so, I un-installed the NVidia drivers. It rebooted and now all of...
I have run the test multiple times. Prior to the new drivers, with newest drivers, with the last revision of drivers etc... always the same result - graphics score of 1.
Vista is a clean install. (I actually did a clean install twice!) The only software on it (besides the Audigy and NVidia...
Since upgrading the motherboard and processor my HTPC Vista machine has been acting very strange. Video is choppy and looks horrible, DVDs seem to skip frames... it is as if it doesn't recognize the vid card. When I check the Vista ratings - my rig scores a 1.0 based on the graphics score! But...
Yea, I know that the one that comes with the case doesn't work, but I assumed that the one for my old motherboard would be interchangeable. D'OH! Live and learn, I guess. I'll see what ASRock comes back with.
Hehe... at $120 for that transcoder, I would be much better served by getting a new card that supports component out! :)
I'd like to experiment to see what I can figure out, I found this link:

And it seems as though some...
For example, I found this cable:
http://cgi.ebay.com/6FT-Gold-VGA-HD15-R...020QQcategoryZ3759QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
That specifically states:
" These cables are not compatible with computer monitor ports or Y/Cr/Cb video. Your video source must provide a YPbPr component video signal from...
My Radeon 9000 has VGA, DVI and S-Video.
So I could get any HD15 - RCAx3 converter and it should work on the Sony CRT tv? Do I have to do anything special with the resolution/refresh settings or will the card figure it out automagically?
I got an open box motherboard at Newegg thinking that I'd be saving myself a hunk of change (saved ~$30 including shipping!) but didn't think about the fact that my current ATX cover plate won't work!
Does anybody know where I can go to get a cover plate?
The motherboard in question is the...
I have a dedicated media machine with a Radeon 9000 as the video card. I'm not ready to upgrade the video card as of yet, but I just moved and my new place has a 42" CRT that will take component inputs. I'm convinced that component would look way better on the CRT than SVideo currently does. But...
I purchased some Kingston Memory (4x1gb) at Newegg for my Asus A8N-VM CSM motherboard. With two sticks of the Kingston ram in, I get DDR 400 - but with all 4 sticks it ramps down to DDR 333 (yes, I made sure that the matching sticks are in the matching memory sockets). I called ASUS and they...
Yea - this was more for those who already have the ASUS 7800GTX...
We had to purchase the ASUS EN7800GTX as we need identical cards for the cluster setup.
We had purchased 4x Asus EN7800GTX 256mb video cards a few months ago for a project here at the university. They BARELY fit in the Shuttle SN25P SFF - but it did work. So we ordered two more - identical product number etc.. from Techdepot and the 7800s that arrived have what looks to be the...
Yea - I couldn't activate it for the first time because one (and maybe two) of my CDs were damaged. So I guess I can' just download it from Steam. I have a support call in with Steam - but they just came back with stupid questions "why couldn't you install it, what kind of error did you get?"...
I purchased a copy of Half Life 2 from PC Liquidators and the install CDs were physically damaged. I could not install the game. Following the Disk Replacement policy, I mailed the CDs in to get new CDs. Well, they said that the product is no longer retail so they can not send me new copies of...
Ok - so that was the missing key to the equation: the integrated chips don't even have local memory - I should have looked at the Toshiba's specs:
"Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 w/8MB-128MB shared video memory"
Ok - let me add some fuel to this discussion. I have another laptop that has a built-in intel video chip (Extreme Graphics 2) with 32mb memory. In the laptop's bios I can allocate more memory to the AGP card and I get better Civ4 performance than the ATI 9000 32mb! I would find it hard to...
My friend has a 600m with Radeon 9000 32mb video. He needs more GFX memory for Civ4, but I can't find anything in the BIOS or the Omega drivers that will allow him to allocate more memory to the card. Is there some program out there that will allocate system memory to the video card?
Current setup:
I've got 6 SN25P shuttles running AMD 4000+ processors with 2gb of ram. Each of them had 2x250gb SATA2 software RAID1 setup. These machines are powering a Tile Display Wall (4x3 21.3" samsung 1600x1200 screens) that has its own shelving below for the Shuttles. We had lots of...
I "discovered" a great way to maximize airline miles while purchasing on line! I made a chart comparing the miles that each mileage program (American, United, and Northwest) gives if you click-through their website to participating on-line retailers. Over 250 on-line retailers listed (not...
I have been starting and stopping the services manually from the command prompt, as well as using the services GUI. If the services were not running, would I even see the icon for the Linux box in my XP network browser?
I used the -a switch from the beginning while setting the conifg from the command prompt. I also checked the logs, and they don't really give any useful information. There are no additional log entries when I try to log onto the Samba share from XP.
I set the samba passwords using smbpasswd. I have tried creating a windows username to match the linux/samba username and password, didn't work. I have tried using the IP address of the server within the XP network browser, and it didn't work. I tried the IP address of the server in the smb.conf...
I just did an installation of Fedora Core 4 on my home computer. I figured out how to mount my NTFS partitions from another drive and get my MP3 collection moved over to my linux drive. I have since been battling with Samba in an attempt to get the files shared on my home network. Both of them...
I installed Windows XP pro on the SATA drive without any problems. I then installed REL 4.0 on the PATA drive, and it seemed to go through the install fine. It detected the XP partition and made an entry in the Grub config etc... when I rebooted the machine went directly into XP, Grub was never...
Well, I can't get it to go full screen - it just shrinks the display area if I go above the res that you see in the pic. I saved the image as a file through Google Earth and it looks like the display area is running at 2908x1878.
Our dual 7800GTXs just came in today, so I might give them a...
We have a 2x2 LCD Tile display in the lab here at the university. It is powered by a Athlon 4000+, 2gb memory, 2x 6800 Ultras. We tried to get NASA Worldwind software to work and it just CRAWLS on this setup. The mouse doesn't even move smoothly when the program is open. 100% CPU usage at all...
Yea.. it may not be very relevant today... but at least you get some kind of comparison between the cards. Image quality is also important... but I want to get an idea of raw 2D performance. I guess this would be akin to looking at the original 3DMark benchmark scores. Sure it may not be testing...
Athlon XP 1800+ 2x256 PC2700 Dual Channel
ATI Radeon 9000 250mhz/200mhz
High End Graphics Winmark: 1180
ATI Radeon 9000 300mhz/250mhz
High End Graphics Winmark: 1220
Ok - so I fixed the results so that they actually show the high-end graphics winmark scores. Looks like overclocking helps minimally. I'm going to try on my Radeon 9000 when I get home. I'm really interested in high-end ATI or Matrox scores if anybody is up for it!
