I have another SATA harddrive already, i tried switching their ports, and the cords, neither worked, so i doubt its the MoBo

I just bought a SATAII perpendicular HD 250 gigabyte version Whats happens is i'll install windows with a copy of windows xp, and when the computer restarts i get an error that basically says //windows/root/ hal error, or something very similar to that. I've tried reinstalling windows about 6...

mmk, thanks

so i might as well just buy the sata 1.50 gb/s?

I have the ASUS A8N5X and it only supports up to sata 1.50 gb/s or whatever. My question is if I buy a sata 2 controller such as this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816124002R would it allow me to gain the performance benefits of the newer standard? Also, is there any...

: [, yes i plan on getting a new MoBo, PSU, vid card. moving from 7800GS+2x512 generic+1x1024 corsair value select+Epox s754 mobo to 7900GT+same rem+like dfi/msi Mobo.

not to go too far off topic, but i pulled the trigger and ordered it. would you guys say moving from a64 3000+ newcastle s754 to this is a good upgrade? i could have my [email protected] with venus12 cooler, noticeable improvement should be expected (gaming at least ) y/n?

evga 7800GS agp

i have 2.4 AMD athlon, and 7800 GS and i get much better perf. i suggesst messing around with drivers

x550, maybe the nvidia 6200? http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=140&card2=192 http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=140&card2=320

a few weeks ago on a particularly cold night (desktop near window) i got it up to 530/1.45 with stock cooling. open case fan.

Gambino, that is great and all but that only helps show that MORE pipelines will RENDER the same scene/game at a faster rate than a neutered, fewer-pipeline version of the same card. That is all there is to it.

I did that. I went 9800 PRO->7800 GS and i do not regret it one bit : }. Def worth the money for me although i got an eVga so i can step it up to a 7900GT when i have the money for s939 PCIE

There used to be a lot of people talking about the complete rewrite of their OGL drivers by late 2006.

this is getting fiery.

werrd yes it is first person, but the crosshair for a fireball, or arrow isn't going to be as hard to hit as crazed aliens in quake 4 for example. The enemies will not be jumping around or nearly as difficult to hit as they can be in the typical fps game. The radius of damage for magic is also...

Something many of you forget is the gameplay. COD2 runs fine on my way OC'd 7800GS at 1280x960, with settings pretty high. I get 30-40 fps and lower with the nades, but 60fps is only important for the fast paced DM games, you don't need that kind of fps for most war games especially not COD2...

Firewall, hanging? You've got some serious problems if you think people should be murdered on account of business strategies and mishaps.

it has something called the evga plate, aka ez 10 dollars for evga : }.

You'll be fine for med settings for at least six months, I suggest saving up some money, get a nice job and get the whole shabang come summer man.

:O x1800xt PE is a marketing thing thats all : ]

diamond viper actually used to be a "house hold name" they aren't bad though ^_^

yeah there is a thread i believe in the Ati forums about it. It drops temps 30%~

i was under the impression that Sli's can't run multiple monitors.

Also some things seen on extremesystems, shows them being able to reach 700 core clock+ with software voltage adjustment abilities, with the x1800xt's cooler. That is to say when aftermarket coolers are released, or the zalmon 700cu (sp) are used on it, it will be badass.

It does boil down to the games but take a step back, many developers base the console they make their games for based on ease of development, and if MS' devkits are much easier as has been said before, than more games will be made for (and at lower cost) than they could be for the ps3.

Well even if ATi doesn't have any sort of advantage in the market they are defenitely forcing nVidia to work harder, and to constantly improve and add features. Win&Win

As said before Return to Krondor <- find it somewhere great storytelling. Morrowind, and to parts of the games quirkiness aside Vampire Bloodlines

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161145 this x800gt looks damn sexy.

About the mobos+integrated video, they don't manufacture the boards. Companies that do make motherboards don't want to add 100-xxx+ to the cost of a board, who wants to buy a 400 dollar card when the midrange performance on-board will be useless in 6 months? Not myself. You can't sell an...

Don't know : ), sanders did say he sent them a script, so you have to wonder why he wouldn't include a normally clocked x1800xl in addition to the pro/xts..hm.

I believe in the article it said cards "clocked" at pro/xt speeds, implying that it was probably the x1800 XL downclocked and overclocked to clock match pro/xt.

the only thing that really impressed me was the leaf moving in very real manor to the shape of the body, that was neato : )

Yeah right, even crappy crts support 16x12 75hz? My 1 year old monitor does 1280x960@72hz.

v1 looks pretty good too

Deja you didn't take into account 5600 versus 6xxx series, in that the g6 had a large set of new features whereas there is only transparent aliasing, and not much else different other than performance with this new generation.

Firstly, the 7800GT is not mid-range, it is high-range just not the highest and you are ignorant for thinking otherwise. You could keep paying $350 every 1.5 years, and get close to double the performance, so what is the point whining about this? Prove that they are getting better yields...

or the x800gt that is a bit cheaper, and in many games faster

it isn't exactly like amd versus intel seeing as both 6800U and X800/x850's have similar temperatures and thermal output. You could also say nVidia generates more heat per clock, but it doesn't say much about its performance, or how "good" it is.

I think by better to buy is it was much better performance for the dollar considering many of them if not all could overclock to 9800XT speeds and even be bios flashed to 9800xt depending on memory/pcb.
