At relatively low resolutions (and no AA) the difference between the 8800GT and GTS512 can be substantial. However, the 8800GT will typically offer a better price/performace ratio in most situations, although both are quite reasonably priced. In short, if you can easily afford either, try and...

Then I doubt the issue lies with the RAM. 3.22GHz means a FSB of 357 if I'm not mistaken, and at 1:1 that would make the RAM run at 714MHz, considerably lower than the 800MHz it is designed for (and at tighter timings). The only issue the RAM should give you is if the voltage is incorrectly set...

loosen the timings to 5 5 5 15 and lower the FSB/mem divider to 1:1. After it's stable you can try tighter timings/higher memory frequency

There's also the option of using matrox'es triplehead2go, to get 3 monitors on 1 video card. Not sure how it would do with multiple video cards & tripleheads, though.

As it happens, I'm danish too. If you're interested, you can read the threads I was talking about previously: http://www.spilpriser.dk/community/forum/Thread.asp?id=107501&page=8 http://www.spilpriser.dk/community/forum/Thread.asp?ID=108387

I have come across several people who have had issues with the North Q Giant reactor 1000 and GF8800s. The issues they describe are very similar to those you have posted, so I'm quite certain the power supply is at fault. The issue, as I understand it, is with the power connectors, and not the...

Personally I'd just take a vacuum cleaner and slide it over the slot if there's space (after removing the card obviously), otherwise a piece of paper should be fine. Just be careful not to damage anything, and drain the static electricity before touching anything inside (by touching the metal...

The packaging should say so, but I'm guessing you propably got rid of that many years ago (if you ever had it). The reason I'm asking is that the AGP slot may be damaged or dusty in such a manner as to render the last 4 lanes useless. That would make it incompatible with any x8 video card, but a...

Is the 9200 an AGP x4 or x8 card?

What PSU do you have? I admit, this issue has me confounded. The video card should give you a picture, regardless of drivers, so I doubt it's a software issue. It could be the AGB bus that's dying, but then I would expect the same issues to happen with the 9200, which you say it doesn't. If...

Wait, so you didn't try the adapters until later? How did you plug the monitor in the first time (with or without adapter)? Also, a bit more information on your system would be useful.

I bring you this: http://en.expreview.com//?p=90&page=6 Showing upwards 80% improvement in framerates going from 256MB to 512MB (not quite 2x, but close still). Granted I don't give much for the credebility of the review, but I would still like to see the impact of more memory in a more...

That type of artifacting is almost certainly caused by the memory. Therefore, you'd want to look at the memory temps, not the core temps. I remember the x1950pro's had a lot of issues with the VRMs hitting 100C and locking the card up, despite the core temps showing completely reasonable...
