You're gonna love the 22" ChiMei monitor. I play all the current games on it, and it is as good in response to my eyes as my 19" Sony Trinitron CRT was.
Are you saying that because IE or some Windows program loads up in the same amount of time that a A64 4000+ is compareable to a C2D CPU?
Not trying to start anything I am just curious as to what you are driving at here.
I upgraded from a A64 3700+ Sandy (OC'd 2.8Ghz) with a XFX 7900GT to a E6600 (OC'd 3.2Ghz) C2D with a eVGA 8800GTX and I am amazed at the difference. Coding videos, playing 3D games you name it there is a HUGE difference.
Coding videos is 3 times quicker, and 3D gaming is double the FPS. If...
I ordered my X2 4800+ yesterday. That will be an upgrade for me from a A64 3700+ Sandy. I'll let you guys know how things went. I can't wait to see. These price drops from AMD were just impossible to ignore!
I've had my XFX 7900 GT Extreme (520) (PV-T71G-UDE7) vcard since 5-5-2006. I've vMOD'd it as high as 1.55 @ 730/1940. I have been running it with the 1.5 vMOD @ 670/1700 since 5-8-2006 with ZERO issues.
The vcard has been a dream.
This is however my 2nd XFX 7900 GT.
I originally got the...
I've had mine running for 8 days now with the vMOD. I did the vMOD from day one. Ran it with the 1.55 vMOD for 3 days and I'm now running 24/7 with the 1.5 vMOD @ 680/1780.
I had several 6-8 hour Obvlivion sessions during those 8-days. The vcard has responded wonderfully. I am very impressed...
Another point to clear up for me, I am not into benchmark scores. I did it just to see what my rig will score, curiosity more than anything else.
The most important thing to me is real in game results. I am running the vcard @ 680/1900 with the 1.5 vMOD 24/7. My idle temp is 41c and my load...
Not at all. There is the MOBO the type of memory that is being used.
I have a cheap MOBO and cheap memory. For what my system is I think the score is GREAT.
