Check out ABIT IP35-E, ABIT IP35 or ABIT IP35 Pro
I was shopping for a P35 chipset awhile back and i ended up with ABIT IP35. I was actually leaning toward Gigabyte (DS3R or DQ6) but after doing some research on both, some people were having some issues where the motherboard would not POST...
I'd suggest getting the 640MB, much needed when playing games with your native resolution. Also it's a good invested since newer games would benefit a lot on a 512MB+ ram...
I have 2 computers, AMD and P4, both running 512mb mem and an open 8x agp slot. They are almost identical so to speak except for the Processor/MB. My question is, which computer should i put my Radeon 9700 pro. I never had an AMD before and 2400+ is equivalent to 1.67ghz but based on some...
I heard the Mod Tool Kit that they promised will be released with this expansion this fall instead. So again, they want to milk more money before the modders take over. :rolleyes:
Yeah that's pretty cheap. Had a deal like this from Newegg last month where they had a refurbished X800xl (agp) for $241. I took a risk and the actual card came in BRAND NEW but the cables were in the opened bag. Good deal! :D
Big boost for me. I upgraded from 9700pro and all my games are smooth as silk, on 1280x1024 2aa/8af. I experienced no hiccups whatsoever playing HL2, CoD,BFV and Doom3 on max settings.
The actual PSU i have can be found here and i have this for 3 months now.
My complete system:
Asus P4C800-E
P4 2.8 /533
1gb ddr333
Sapphire Radeon X800 XL
Windows XP sp2
Coolmax 400W power supply
-Two HDD (7200)
-Thermaltake Tsunami Case (2x120mm and 1x90mm fans)
-DVD-RW
-Creative...
I just got a new video card and a couple of days ago i reformatted my hard drive and i made sure all drivers were up to date including the MB chipset. Recently, i've been getting a weird problem, the problem only appear when i'm playing games, the power suddenly shuts off without any warning. It...
Arrgh, I'm reliving the history again with my old Granite Bay motherboard that has a known bug with 9700pro. Exact problem i'm having now with infinite loops. That's why i bought p4c800-E a year ago and have been rock solid computer ever since, until the last couple of week when this problem...
Lately ive been getting random reboot while running 2d/3d applications. Then it became worst, i'm now getting BSOD and something about 'stuck on infinite loop' regarding atidvag....i've checked everything listed below but they dont seem to be the problem.
Memory- tested and no errors...
Has anyone tried buying a refurbished video cards from Newegg? I've been looking for anything i can grab on right for my little brother- cheapest as possible but with great performance.
This is so tempting to get but ive never bought any refurbished items from newegg..anyone have...
Ok, this is like a stubborn nut to me. I've setup a home network with 2 routers. My computer which im using right now is connected to Router 1 and where the modem is connected as well as the Router 2 (duh! :) ). I've disabled the DHCP Server on Router 2 so I have no problem accessing the net...
For the start, i just blew my 6800GT card 2 weeks ago (OEM-so no warranty :( ). I was about to buy another one at newegg but I read somewhere the upcoming X800 XL will be much better and cheaper.
How is this possible? Only $299 and almost the same (if not better) as 6800gt..?
Yeah, he was sprint jumping and that gave me motion sickness. Does anyone noticed some actual segments of the video was slighty sped up abit or is it just me?

You can actually download the 1.1GB video showing the whole game being played. I would probably beat the game less than this but with a cheat. :p
Red Orchestra is a great mod but not too many people playing. I've only seen one full server most of the time (32players). Maybe it's a frustrating game for other ppl....
Not that i hate Halo but if you're playing Halo2 on pc someday i dont know how you can say it's better than D3, Farcry, and HL2 overall. :rolleyes:
There should be a PC Game-only Awards.
Thats what they want you to believe. In reality, some pinheads affiliated to VGA are making all the shots based on how well the game was presented to the public, consumer-wise. This is all f***ing retarded. :mad:
same old crap like last year and why Snoop hosting this? rather see him presenting the Madden award or something like that because frankly i think thats the only game he knows. :rolleyes:
Agree. But don't come up here bragging about where you got it from. Just keep it to yourself or atleast make something up on how you managed to play and finished it. Not that i care if you do but your waving it to the forum that strictly prohibits talking about piracy and they have reasons for it.
Relax.....
Basically, he's just asking for some ideas from other people--which by the way is common in this forum (i can't believe im saying this to someone who has been posting here for quite sometime now). It just happens that he personally wants to give something in return. Now what's...
Had the same dilemma too with the noise. Couldnt find any 120mm blue LED fan with 70+CFM to replace it with so i've modified the retention bracket by cutting out the plastic fan guard. It didnt make the fans dead quiet but the noise is very acceptable now.
