    Athlon vs Phenom + 8200/8300 or 780 chipset. Discuss here.

    I'm trying to follow the conversation but am having a little trouble keeping track of the differences as it relates to the actual hardware. Can someone just do a quick list of the different processors, mobos, video cards (if applicable) and what they do or don't do? I recently got my first...

    Very low 3dmark05 score on x1800xt

    Ok, I switched it back to the top PCIE16 slot and everything works normal now. 3dmark05 scored like 8880 and F.E.A.R. on max yielded this: Thanks for your help everyone, turns out I'm just retarded, nothing serious. It is weird that I could still play F.E.A.R. and BF2 on high settings...

    Very low 3dmark05 score on x1800xt

    Nothing wrong with the hard drives, but I might have the solution. When I built the computer, my video was freezing up before BIOS, so I moved the video card to the bottom PCIE 16 slot. I think the way the jumpers are set, the top slot is running x16 and the bottom is x2. I can change the...

    I've got memtest running now, I'll let it go a few hours while I run some errands. Is there a way to test if 1 or both of the hard drives are acting up? As far as I can tell they are working fine...

    Very low 3dmark05 score on x1800xt

    I had been playing F.E.A.R. with the settings on high and it was working fine, but I ran the Test at those settings and got this: So I took the settings down to medium and got this: Here's my 3dmark05 score currently, if that helps:

    Very low 3dmark05 score on x1800xt

    Ok so I built a new system last weekend, it had been a while since I built a new one so this stuff is somewhat new to me. Something is holding my 3dmark05 score back, but I can't figure out what. System: Opteron 146 overclocked to 2.6 GHz (big zalman HSF, runs real cool) DFI LanParty...
