Help With New Card For Aging Machine

This card (a Radeon 7000 with both S-Video and composite TV outs) should do the trick, and would allow you to output to a TV if you add DVD viewing capabilities to the computer.

Who's going to produce the first dual-cored CPU?

I know, that's why I was surprised when I got the message from the person I know. I figured the first dual core desktop from Intel would be a Desktop Dothan, but if Intel wants to be first at something then maybe a dual cored prescott it the quickest way to go.

Who's going to produce the first dual-cored CPU?

While I don't know who will produce the first dual-cored processor, I've been told Intel's code name for the dual cored Prescott is "Smithfield" or "SMF" for short (anyone else with an Intel connection, feel free to start digging). Considering the current Prescott's heat and wattage problems...

You didn't list the correct bios part number (not enough digits). Check the bios part number (Display Properties> Advanced> Options> Details) and enter the bios part number (minus the dashes) into the search application on this page.

Best Intel Board for 533 processor

I've been impressed by my Asus P4P800. Currently the best P4 boards seem to be Abit and Asus' Springdale and Canterwood boards. For Abit that's the IS7 series and IC7 series, and for Asus that's the P4P800 series and the P4C800 series.

good vid card for around 50?

I'm Canadian so I'm not familiar with Best Buy, but today I read a post in another forum saying that at Best Buy on "Black Friday", the first day of Christmas shopping, Best Buy will be selling the 128mb Radeon 9600 (non-Pro) for $70. But aside from that, a 128mb Radeon 9100 would probably be...

You have to enable the second monitor. After installing the second monitor, go to the Advanced Display Properties> Displays section and you'll see the secondary monitor section with a red button in the top left corner - click on the button to enable it.

5200 vs. 5200 Pro?

video card for $150 to $200???? help please...

If he'd rather spend $150 than $200, then the Ti4200 is a very good option. If he's willing to spend up to $200, then the Radeon 9500 Pro would be the best card. It's kind of difficult to make one suggestion, because I wouldn't fault him if he chose either card - the Radeon 9500 Pro is faster...

5200 vs. 5200 Pro?

AunixM3, I was illustrating absurdity by being absurd. Your argument is that the 5200 has more value than the 5200 Ultra because the 5200 starts at $88 ($100 for the 128mb version) and because it can be overclocked. Newsflash - the 5200 Ultra can be overclocked too, and it's starting at...

My mistake; it's the 5600 ultra which is clocked at 350/350 while the 5200 Ultra is at 325/325 - I was erring on the side of nVidia's advantage. As for your comment about overclocking, all I can do is shake my head. You don't like the fact that a reviewer couldn't get a good stable memory...

No, I think that a reporter representing the Gamers Depot and a reporter representing The Inquirer were both at the same place (most likely some sort of gathering set up by "a leading OEM") and allowed use of the same equipment for a small amount of time to do benchmarks. The set of benchmark...

AGPx8 is currently marketing hype. A graphics card such as the Radeon 9700Pro or GeForceFX 5800 Ultra is 98 to 100% as fast at AGPx4 as it is at AGPx8. Also, all current AGPx8 cards are backwards-compatible to AGPx4.

You shouldn't expect those scores from a default setup - you should probably expect around 9500 to 10500 marks though. First, you may want to try to re-install the motherboard drivers (I believe that board uses an SiS chipset, so sis.com.tw would be the place to go). Also, make sure you...

need a video card for $160

I'd be the first one to say "Get a Radeon 9500 Pro" if you could actually get one for $160, but you can't, so the best card in that price range is the 128mb GeForce4 Ti4200.

Newbie video question, I guess: R8500 vs. Gf4 TI4200?

If they're the same price, then I'd say the Ti4200 is the better deal. The only advantage the Radeon 8500 has over the Ti4200 is PS 1.4, but in most general gaming instances the Ti4200 will be faster.

What's the least expensive video card with DVI?

The Radeon 7000 and 7500 also come in dual head versions, one of which being a DVI interface. Not all 7000 and 7500s are dual headed though. If you mean only a DVI interface, then I think there's a Ti4200 with dual DVIs; to my knowledge there are no ATi cards with two DVI connections.
