    Hmmmm, Im impressed!!!

    I did the upgrade to 163.44 from a old 93 series driver, and I gotta say im impressed. I took my clocks (mem & GPU) up 20Mhz on GPU and 100Mhz on mem, and WOW!!!!! I had never played with it, as anything over 580/1450 stuff just went haywire. Big color splotches everywhere, etc..... Well it now...

    ATI 1950XTX review

    So did anyone read this???? Its closer to the 7950 in single and dual card setups, but the 7950, in raw framerate production with max settings, still hands it its arse all in almost every setup.(note i dint say all people) They say the IQ is better than a 7950, but IQ is subjective, so lets not...

    Tighter timings......

    I recently bought 2Gb (4x512Mb) of the Crucial BallistiX Tracer memory. I reset my BIOS to factory settings, and started to work. The standard clocks were 3-4-4-10@ 333Mhz. I wasnt too thrilled. I worked on stepping up the processor to 2.28Ghz, which I did, and memory to 2.5-2-2-5 at 400Mhz...

    Crucial BallistiX Tracer DDR-500.....

    .....Any thoughts on this memory??? its rated timings are a bit high for my taste, but I read on most every review that it clocks very nicely, so im not worried. Just wondering if anyone runs it and what thoughts are on it. I ordered 2Gb for $200, so not a bad deal IMO. Thanks in advance for any...

    Small OC question.

    I have an AMD 3800+ X2 on a Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe board. I was messing with the AiBooster panel trying to tweek, and noticed something. I OC'd to 1.41V at 2.25Ghz. Not a major feat by any means. Now at 2.2Ghz, the FSB (HTT) is at 1100. When I OC'd to .05Mhz faster the FSB dropped to like 650-660...

    RAM Heatsinks

    Ive got some DDR-400 that is just begging for an overclock, but I wanna use heatsinks so I dont mess it up. I dont like the look of those blocks that go on each individual chip, but rather a full cover like this: Is there anything i missed, or is this really all I have to work with??? Thanks...
