    Performance Increase Question

    Currently, I have an ASUS P4S800 Mobo. But, this mobo doesn't have dual channel, and I have 2xPC3200 sticks in this computer. Also, the chipset is only sis848. I was wondering if I would see a significant performance increase if I bought this mobo...

    New MSI Outlet Deals!!

    I was actually thinking of getting the 865PE Neo2-LS, but it says no prescott support on the site. But, I went to the msi site and it says for that mobo, Prescott ready. I guess I'll have to call them up and ask about it.

    [Shuttle] HSF Solutions?

    I have a 9800 Pro and on my shuttle FB75, and the fan on the card just went out. I need a new fan solution, but there is no pci slot on that side, so an ati silencer is out of the question. Any suggestions of good fans that would fit and don't require a pci slot?

    Topic pretty much explains it. I have a fx 5700 right now but my brother is going to use it, so I'm going to buy a new card. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good deals right now that I can get for the money I have. The card needs to be AGP too, don't have any PCI-X. Thanks

    FX 5700 Underclocking itself?

    Also does it revert back to the 2D settings if whatever is being displayed on the monitor only requires 2D settings, such as the desktop?

    FX 5700 Underclocking itself?

    It does have distinct 2D/3D models. I only set the 3D settings in RivaTuner, should i set the 2D settings to the same as the 3D?

    FX 5700 Underclocking itself?

    Just the other day I decided to overclock my eVga FX 5700 from 425/500 to 480/560. It works fine for a couple minutes after I reboot, but when I check in everest I see that the clock frequency of the gpu goes down to 310. I actually see it change from 480 down to 310. The memory clock stays...
