In fact I DO believe that the tablet will kill the laptop, even though it will take another 3-5 years to happen.
Once digitizer screens get cheap, why on earth would you spend $1500 on a good notebook when you could get a convertible tablet computer for just a little more? The OS and...
Datalink hit it on the head.
Chicks are way too damn emotional... something simple happens and they are bringing it up every week for the next 5 years of your f*cking life!
That's a pretty hefty overclock you have got on your rig.
I might suggest clocking to the default values for your RAM, CPU/FSB and Vid card then doing a clean OS install and I bet it will work fine.
Well I know it's always frustrating to hear this when you are having stability problems with an application, but I have had zero problems running NWN for probably 10-12 hours in the last 3 days. Not one crash. I have hosted multiplayer games also with no crashes (even alt-tabbed out of the...
I've been playing it for the past few days and all I can say is wow
There is just so much to this game... I have had zero probs running and zero crashes (as opposed to Morrowind which crashed on me 10-12 times in running it for a few days).
Hosted a multiplayer game with 4 others and it was...
workin,
you seemed to indicate that if I found the sound quality of the 560's decent then I must have something as a frame of reference like a boombox.
my home audio system consists of Boston Acoustic VR-950 tower speakers. I have boston acoustics bipolar rear speakers, boston center channel...
Workin,
Although your opinions are that the Logitech's are junk I (and many friends, reviewers, etc) think that they are excellent, especially at the price of under $200.
I hear that alot, but say "you must have a crappy home entertainment setup".
Any home theater worth it's salt will bitch slap the Klipsch (or any other multimedia computer speakers) back into the 1970's of quadrophonic hi-fi.
I think that it's obvious that noone posting 3.0+ is even hitting those speeds... they are just posting that because they think it's funny or something.
I have a set of 560's and two friends have sets of 560's and none of us have blown our speakers out. Maybe they had a bad production run for a while, but I think that the Z-560's are built as well as anything else.
I get excellent gaming and movie performance from my LCD screen... I think that there are many of them out there that do poorly but have inflated specs which make all LCD's look bad.
In looking at "Best overall" you have to keep in mind that the Klipsch cost more than double what the Logitech costs. If price is no concern than certainly get the Klipsch.
The other poster indicated it posted one time then would not boot up after that... not sure that such symptoms fit with the idea that the BIOS is out of date but it is a possibility.
in short, no.... the 1.8a will not go higher... let me try to explain.
the multiplier on the 1.6a is 16 (16 * 100 = 1600 mhz).
the multiplier on the 1.8a is 18 (18 * 100 = 1800 mhz).
Let's say you have both CPU's and want to shoot for the stable FSB of 133mhz.
1.6a @ 133 mhz = 2.13 gig.
1.8a...
If you decide you really want to overclock a P4 then the 1.6a is your best choice. When overclocking by FSB alone (as you MUST do with all Intel CPU's) you want the lowest possible multiplier you can get.
Ummmm..... wrong.
When reading hard core overclocking articles from just about any reviewer they will frequently refer to the CPU core just "giving out" at a certain speed. More voltage will NOT always get things going again... even when Intel and AMD employ massive liquid cooling to show off...
what vcore were you running at? despite what many of the OC noobs here at AT might say it IS possible to damage your cpu by overclocking.
it is also possible that you have had data corruption from the cpu running so high, but that wouldn't explain the high temperatures.
I sent back a Planar PV 174 because the ghosting was intolerable. The Planar I purchased used MVA technology which in my opinion has inferior color reproduction and worse ghosting. It has nothing to do with your display being defective.
In my experience many companies can't be trusted to give...
It is normal for the voltage levels of the PSU to fluctuate when the PSU is under heavy load. That is to be expected.
As far as monitoring goes, if you have not hooked up a fluke to your PSU, and you have not hooked up a calibrated thermistor to your CPU core then you don't really know what...
Your case looks very nice, but maybe you should also mention that you've got at least $250-$500 in case and cooling... many users don't want to spend that much for the simple task of setting up a high speed rig.
If by "hanging" you mean the system is hard locking then you have reached the limit of what your core can do. Possibly massive cooling could get you a little further, but when a core has reached it's limit, that is it.
Progs like rain and cpu idle cannot let you o/c any further than you would...
Well, you simply cannot run the CPU at the wrong multiplier if you don't unlock it.
I never, ever, EVER run a CPU at other than it's rated speed for the first 48 hrs that I am getting it working and testing stability.
I am pretty sure that the AMD chip tested by Tom's was the older original T-bird w/out the onboard thermal protection present in the newer XP chips.... the older t-bird was VERY susceptible to burn out though. My brother accidentally turned on a system (1.33gig t-bird) w/out the hsf on it and...
Welcome to AT.
That is weird... you and your friends are doing something incorrectly. I have installed dozens of CPU's for myself, friends and family and have never had a CPU just "go bad" for no reason.
What motherboards are you guys using? What kind of power supplies? What kind of HSF?
Keep in mind that a lot of monitoring programs and motherboards don't properly interpret the onboard thermistor. In other words, one users 45C under "load" could easily be another users 55C. As long as it's stable and under the manufacturers limit it shouldn't be a prob with the temps...
I was one of the few people apparently to get a 1.6a that would not do 2133 mhz.
The problem was not RAM, the CPU would simply hard lock at that speed even with maxxed vcore (in my overclocking experience hard locks are usually from the cpu core giving up, blue screens, apps crashing, etc, are...
You need to tell the motherboard to run your processor at an 11X multiplier.
Athlon 1700+ = 1.47gig chip
1.47gig = 1470 mhz.
1470mhz / 133mhz (FSB speed) = 11.
run your motherboard at 11 * 133mhz and it should be fine.
Actually the new Intel HSF units for the P4 have an ultra thin layer of black thermal compound... it is not the same old thermal pad that has been on cheap heatsinks for ages.
Unfortunately overclocking IS a trial and error process. You bump the FSB a little bit, and test for stability... then you possibly back of RAM timings, up vcore, or unlock the multiplier to get more speed.
That doesn't sound too bad to me. I have a P4 2.2a with 512 Megs of RAM and a Geforce 4 TI4400. I am running at 1280X1024 and get between 20-30 fps with most of the details turned up.
Don't even get me started... Lucas's argument that it's his "art" and that he has the right to edit and re-edit it as many times as he wants is a real slap in the face to the millions of fans that put him on the map and were more than happy to see his "imperfect" trilogy over and over again. I...
I have seen it commented repeatedly that Lucas will not make the final three movies. Based on the crap that they are turning out now I am none too disappointed. Man I would love to go get a copy of Empire Strikes Back on DVD... oh yeah, Lucas giant ego won't allow the original trilogy to be...
OK, well let's just say that I find the constant whining and nagging of a group of folks who want us to return to isolationism (did we learn nothing from the events of the 30's?) rather distasteful.
