    Ordered a 9800 GT eco-intelligence . Will E2180 @ 2.0 Ghz stock bottleneck it?

    I had an overclocked 9800GT playing COD4 at 1680 x 1050 with an E2180 @ 3.2GHz. All details on high 2X AA 16X AF. Minimum frames were about 50 as I recall, usually running in the 80's. The eco 9800GT is dummed down a bit and with a dual core at 2.0GHz + 1MB L2 cache, I don't think 60FPS...

    People Unimpressed With Tech Progress

    You hit the nail right on the head. Until someone or some government figures out how to make money by stepping up space exploration or colonizing planets, it isn't going to happen. I sure don't think the US can afford to finance anything meaningful with the amount debt the federal government...

    9800Pro - Cant access control panel?

    Maybe a simple uninstall and reinstall of the driver might help? Possibly reinstall your motherboard AGP driver and DX9 as well.

    Upgrade Budget Gaming Rig

    The Intel system is very easy to set up and overclock. Just set the fsb and memory divider, no cpu core voltage, no chipset voltage, no DDR voltage. All these settings can remain bone stock. The SiS661FX chipset defaults the Celeron Mobile and the P4-M to 1.60v. I have used, t-bred...

    Upgrade Budget Gaming Rig

    Computer Geeks has a SiS661FX motherboard new for $22. Newegg has 512MB sticks of PC3200 for about $60. E-bay or Anandtech forums for a Celeron mobile 256K or a P4-M, about $50. $132 total gets you 3GHz on a Celeron mobile, memory divider gets you 400MHz DDR. Or the P4-M defaults to...

    Northwood 3.4c @ 4.5

    Nice overclock, but your cpu is gonna die, sooner then later :(

    good budget intel overclocking/gaming rig?

    Two things come to mind. A P4 M or a Sempron. P4 M 1.4-1.8GHz on ebay goes for under $50. Defaults to a 12X multiplier so, a 800MHz fsb gets you 2.4GHz. Will work on most SiS661FX chipsets, about $55 on pricewatch. $105 plus a good heatsink, still leaves about $170 for a lot of memory...

    New life for an old friend...

    Don't go over 1.7v or you will risk killing the cpu prematurely.

    Intel has a chance to royally stomp AMD.

    An overclocked Dothan is a good contender right now. Too bad it is hamstrung by the 855 chipset. Give it a more 875 like chipset with dual channel and an 800MHz+ fsb and it would really knock out 3DMark.

    Pentium M-4 in a desktop

    Are you sure? If it is a P4 M then I assume that the motherboard is falsely reading the cpu at 18 x 233 for 4200MHz. In reality it is 12 x 233 for a more realistic 2800MHz? I could be wrong of course, but you might want to double check with another program or benchmark and verify. Let us...

    Pentium M-4 in a desktop

    all Pentium 4 M cpu's default to a 12x multiplier on a desktop board. The 1.3-1.8GHz cpu's are almost always have BO stepping and top out at 2400-2600MHz at the most. So they make a perfect choice for a 800MHz fsb. They run very cool and have the full 512 L2 cache. Most motherboards...
