Thanks everyone, i'm looking for a physical store actually though. The problem is basically theres only a very small area which I can visit. I'm just going to have to order a card and get it shipped to england by my uncle seperately.
I've been looking at GameVE recently actually, very good...
Hi everyone, i'm going to get a refund on my faulty video card, I know now that its is faulty 100%.
I need a retailer in the San Francisco / LA / Santa Barbera area or not far from them that is cheap and I can buy a Ti4200 from. I'm looking for a Ti4200 128mb for under $200 in any of the above...

Ouch thats hot.
Probably a bum retailer tho ... goes off to check resellerratings.com...
YHeah man coolbits comes with my cards drivers. I know how to overclock it but im just running at stock for now.
I think the card is duff, nothing else explains such low scores, i've got all the latest drivers etc... I'm going to RMA at back to newegg and my uncle wiill probably have to mail...
I've deffinitely got those inf drivers mate, but i'll try what youy suggested. I've got nVidias latest 30.82 drivers also. I know now its not my CPU thats the problem, it was getting a good result, i just can't read, I got 4800 summit in PCMark2002 not 4300 like I said.
Repeat after me:
M A R...
AGP apperture size is 128mb, got latest Inf, Intel App. Accelerator"and nVidia drivers.
I can't see any option on the bios to change AGP x2 or x4 or anything?
I think Sandra says somewhere its 2x ???
Also not got dx . . .solving . . .
3DMark 2001se score at 1600x1200x32 at stock speeds (1.8ghz and gpu at 250mhz and 446mhz memory) = 3639
Sisoft sandras performance tips in the mainboard section are:
1. AGP bus is unused or card not fully AGP compatible
2. Current AGP rate not optimal
No idea what to do now, i'm so...
Thanks for your help :) I'm starting to panick now, i've got only till sunday in the US and its tuesday already, if I find out something is defective i'm going to have to get the replacement send over the atlantic I think.
I'd really appreicate it if someone did something for me. If someone...
Running PCMark2002 my CPU gets a score of 4300, the lowest I found on thier database was about 4500 but that was for a 1700mhz P4 I think.
I'm gonna run some more CPU benchies, it may be defective I don't know. Would explain the low 3Dmark score.
Hmm.
Im getting worried now. At 2.1ghz with 294mhz memory at Cas 2, 6-2-2 timings, and my GPU at 280mhz with 520mhz RAM, im only getting a score of 5800 in 3DMark 2001 SE.
For a 2.1ghz P4 with an overclocked Ti4200 that score is terrible. Does anyone know any utilities that test solely the graphics...
Hi everyone, i've got my 1.8a stable at 2.3ghz on my Epox 4G4A (not + version) But I can't go any higher. At 2.35ghz it fails at prime 95 pretty fast. But i've no idea what now is stopping me go any further, its either my MB or my CPU.
Does anyone have any idea how to work out what the limiting...
Ok here and update. I'm pretty sure now its my cooling thats the problem. I bought a Enermax 365w PSU from Fry's for $30 to try it out, the one i've got right now may be 400w but its a pretty no name brand. its made no difference. So then I decided to put all my 80 case fans on, using a...
Thanks there, im having a bit more luck. I managed to get it stable at 2.35ghz thismoring, well stable mean about an hour of prime testing. Thats at 1.725vcore but its never goes about 1.71 ever, though i've only seen it at 1.71v once, most of the time its at 1.66v or 1.68v sometimes maybe under...
Thanks everyone :) I've tried several bios' and none of them have changed anything stability wise so im using the latest version again.
I'll try my memory in slot 2 and at different settings in a minute. I'm using speedfan to read my temps and voltages because MBM won't work and i have no idea...
Hi there guys, so i'm in San Francisco now and with the spare time i've had i've built my computer. But I need some help here and i'd really appreciate it if you could read my post and try and help me out.
I'm having some problems with overclocking and I need some help from you guys :) I may...
Thanks guys thats a real help :)
I've found out that the jumper to remove is JP1 right? I've not got my hands on the mb yet but i'll be able to find it using the manual i'm sure.
Thanks for the help :) Mark
Hi everyone, i'm off to the US tomorrow and as some of you know i've ordered a PC as everything is so much cheaping than in the UK.
I've bought a 1.8a and an Epox 4G4A in the hope of overclocking. I've also bought 8 (probably won't even use 6) 30cmf 80mm case fans for cooling and some ASIII to...
XP2200+ for $152? God damnit I could have got one of those instead of my 1.8a. Then I wouldn't have to worry about overclocking not so good.
Oh well my chip shuld reach 2.4 easily (I hope) with some decent air cooling and a ducting system.
Yeah im going to fit all my components in my hand luggage if I can, and keep the case in my suitcase(s) :D
OMFG I leave on friday arg. Frist time on a plan gotta get it on my own. I'll probably end up in russia lol.
:) Mark
Renault 5 GT Turbo any day of teh week. All the guys in the UK will agree :D
The difference in scene's between America and a lot of Europe is interesting. American engines are genrally much larger because fuel is so cheap for you guys. Also insurance is hell for larger engines in the UK because...
Most people that have high end PC's use them for gaming.
The XP2200+ is only 4 or 5% slower than a 2.53ghz P4 in most games. Don't go quoting Commache 4 now, because we all know P4's beat XP's very easily with that engine. Its the opposite however for serious sam with low end XP's beating the...
AMD will probably end up with the fastest chip again in my opinion. Of course only for a few months, Intel once against will take their turn to leap frog over AMD once again, then AMD will probably make up some ground, and so on....
XP3400+ will be faster than the 3.2ghz and will come out...
Yeah Costhworth make some of the finest racing engines out there. I think they're part of ford, maybe a subsiaidary company. The Ford Escort Corsworths have amazing performance, specially the large turbo versions. Cosworth also make an engine that is used in some Formula 1 cars.
What I want to...
Ahh well we get better beer here in Europe anyway mmmmm german beer.... :D
Anyway how do you Antec (im guessing that what they are) speakers perform I was thinking about getting some myself maybe.
do you have a subwoofer, does it give good bass?
Thanks, Mark
Nice rig, hopefully i'll be able to streamline all my cables like that too on my new pc.
What up with all the whisky though? Think of your poor liver.
Larger is much better.
Mmmm. Stella...
Get a 1.8a man. Prices for 1.6a are going up and the 1.8a is only $166 shipped from newegg. Its comes as standard at a 100mhz bus speed, an increase to 133mhz which is almost garanteed in fact which will give you 2.4ghz. You should be able to go higher than that though.
Some of the new 1.8a...
Drouge you completely misenterpreted the car analagy me and Xeon were talking about. I never said that 3 litre V6 engines are faster than 6 litre V8's and that engine capacity didn't affect performance. Lol you really think i'm that stupid?
I phrased the whole thing quite specifically so that...
There are plenty of examples of 3 litre engine's outclassing 6 litre's, many in fact.
Just look at some of the engines that come from Porch, Ferrari, Mcalren and Lambourghini's workshops. Incredible performance from relatively small cylinders on some of their cars. And the point was to...
Lol lucky because you are garanteed a good stepping, from other companies its a gamble and you may get a bad one for oc'ing which leaves people dissapointed.
Its really isn't a very complicated concept is it? Pay a few dollars more for a garanteed AGOIA chip, rather than risking getting another...
Your argument is so biased its not even funny. People know your never going to make a fair comment or an unbiased argument and i'm sure a lot of people don't even bother reading your posts. In some situations, an XP1800 will easily whoop the pants off a 2.4ghz P4, so start quoting rediculous...
Less is known unfortunately about how different steppings perform on other chips such as 1800 and 2000's. This is the only company I could find doing this though, I just stumbled accross it whilst looking for some cooling equipment and realised that no ones else sold specifically stepped chips...
*laughs at the fact hes made the thread turn stupid*
Hmm everything was going so well before. Oh well sorry guys :D
Again please review the Epox 4G4A+ i'd be interested to see how it compares to other. I've not seen it in many roundups, only individual reviews. Also please consdier the Epox...
Yeah I just put it up because you'd be certain you'd be getting a good stepping, there were some very dissapointed people in the other thread that didn't get good steppings when other did. I can't see $75 being a huge price difference to $66 myself either. Thing is neweggs next shipment may not...
Yeah your right about the advertising. For a long time AMD had a much better chip in the Athlon that Intels offering at the current time, holding the fastest chip slot and the best price / performance chips too with Intel making sales only through the big brand name.
The fact is the biggest...
Jesus 6 replies in about 3 minutes lol
/me feels so popular
*dances*
No really for the guy who asked, AGOIA is the name of the stepping on the chip, and certains steppings seem to be better at overclocking that others.
The problem is normally you don't know what stepping your gonna get, so...
