My friend has a good rig, but problem is it keeps on restarting in the middle of a warcraft III game.
Here's his rig.
- Athlon XP 1700+ w/ Thermaltake Volcano 9
- ASUS A7V266-C
- 256MB Kingmax PC2700
- Inno3d GF4 Ti4200 128MB
- Enermax 350W
- Maxtor D740X 40Gig, Sony 48X CDRW (both in IDE 1...
Its really hard to get new hardware here in the Philippines so I'd want to discuss with you what we have here and what could be the best bet among these.
What is available:
1. All AXP proc's are available here but only up to AXP 2100+.
2. I'm also considering buying a P4 1.6A or a P4 1.8A
3...
I have read anandtech reviews stating that the 128MB Ti4200 is future proof because in future games the frame buffer will be larger and thus the 128MB cards would perform faster.
In the Ti4200 shootout article, they pointed out that in games like Commanche 4 and in the CodeCreatures benchmark...
Hey Bruno. How do you run your AthlonXP1800 at 140 fsb? What MB you using? Heatsink?
I'll wait for your numbers on how the P4 1.6A will perform against the XP1800 when overclocked. But I guess that it would be safer to oc the P4 1.6A becuase it runs cooler than the XP.
BTW, I compare the...
There are many articles stating that the P4 1.6A is the next celeron 300A. It just oc's right up to 2 Ghz with just good air cooling.
Would it be better to go for the P4 1.6A or get the Athlon XP1800?
I'm just wondering what kind of heatsink would I use for the P4 1.6A and a good motherboard...
Im using a Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 MX with an AMD AThlon 850@1.2Ghz, Abit KT7 RAID, 512MB PC133 SDRAM.
And please note: I ain't even overclocking my video card!
When playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein, any setting I try whether at low, high, combination of low and high on some settings...
I have GF2 MX. I admit that it can't go 32MB with good looks and framerates in RTCW.
So I go 16bit High geometry, normal everthing, 32bit textures, no nvidia fog and it works nice but when I turn the lightmap to high then every twist and turn I make, the graphics break. I turn the lightmap of...
The Kryo 2 deserves winning the best mainstream card on earth because of the following things.
The technology behind the tile based rendering is quite good and it removes something in a graphics render scene that nvidia cards cannot do quite efficiently, OVERDRAW.
At the back of the Kryo 2...
I'm not sure if i should call it 3rd party or whatever but what I mean is has anyone ever tried an ATI Radeon 8500 Video Card whose board was made by a different company?
The only board manufacturers that I know of as of now are DFI and PowerMagic. I am really concerned about this because the...
well this christmas, i'm going to shell out money for a creative audigy and a 5.1 surround speaker.
keep in mind that i cannot spend money on klipsh speakers and the like that cost way high up.
does anyone know a site that might have reviews on the speakers that i have interests in? Such as...
Since were talking about the radeon 8500 and it's price, would I be better off with it than its price counterpart (note: not performance) which is the GF3 Ti 200?.
And also I've also read that review about the Winfast TDH Ti 500. Does the same 2d quality of the Winfast TDH Ti 500, apply to its...
Christmas is fast approaching and I can replace my year old GF2 MX. I've been reading and looking at so many reviews about what I could replace my old card with.
I want a high end video card. The choice goes down to a GF3 Ti 500 against the ATI Radeon 8500.
Of course the GF3 Ti 500 has better...
But the temperature reading comes from a temp gauge that is located beneath the cpu right?
Maybe the fan on your heatsink just blows the heat away.
Your observation is quite odd for me too because even if I get my Athlon 850 down to temps of 27 C I'd touch the sink and feels a liitle hot...
I need to get Size 14 mp3s. Why? You know that feeling that you just want to hear out some song that you kinda liked years back? Well I'm getting that feeling. Record stores don't carry any copy of them anymore and I don't know why. Downloading Size 14 mp3's were just at the back of my mind and...
I have my old system with me here basically composed of:
AMD Athlon 850
Abit KT7-RAID
2 x 256 MB PC133 CAS2 SDRAM
AMD Stock fan
Windows XP Pro
Note: I tampered with the stock fan so that the air would suck hot air out and i covered the openings of the fins with masking tape. In my experience...
I have a question for my old motherboard, hoping that I can juice more performance out of it this christmas since I'm not getting a new pc.
I have an Athlon 850 w/ Global Win WBK 38
Abit KT7RAID
two 256MB PC133 CAS2 RAM memory modules
I'm currently running 896Mhz. (8x112)
How come the maximum...
Please excuse me because I really am a newbie to this aspect...
I have an abit kt7a and i recently bought a second drive identical to my first and i would like them to be in a RAID 0 configuration.
So I put them in the same RAID IDE channel but im still hesitating to continue and configure it...
