It's the most annoying thing isn't it, your monitor doesn't flick from power saving mode to on. What I've found is that sometimes your video card is just loose in the socket, so take it out, clean the connector with an eraser and push it fully back in doing the screw up tight. hope this helps

well the main vent always comes out pretty hot being a P4, i dont know if thats the same one that covers the IGP or not. don't think theres any temp monitoring kit in the lappy either?

Ok, so I know my laptop won't be GREAT for gaming, it's a 3.2ghz P4 512mb with an ATI mobility 9100 IGP, but it should be able to run some fun games like NFS:U. Basically when im trying to play for the first 30 seconds or so of a track it's fine, good FPS and i'm happy. Then all of a sudden...

Why not? It's fun! Much more interesting to be one of the few with a unique card than one of the masses with the same old stuff. :cool:

It is related, because a screenshot is obviously not the same as what is being output to your monitor. I doubt it is even possible for them to 'detect' when a screenshot is being taken and to quickly switch the settings to provide a higher quality picture. It's much more likely that the...

No they are better than the last ones. More compatability and more performance :o Still a long way to go obviously

Thats just bollocks about the image quality. I have a 9100 and whenever I take a screenshot guess what happens? All the missing triangles disappear.

If you want to be different go for the volari, if your more concerned about things like running games and performance then don't. There are new drivers coming out for the volari fairly regularly, gradually imrproving performance and compatability, but they aren't good enough yet. You also can't...

but remember it will void your warranty big tim :D

BF1942 missing triangles have been moved from the distance and going away after a while to the forefront and not going away, which is a lot more annoying (9100 128mb)

You'd end up paying an import charge, which in my experience can be pretty heavy. It's not worth importing I'm afraid :(

ummm, your connecting the SVideo out of your camera to the SVideo out of your video card? Your video card needs an SVideo IN to capture from the camera. SVideo out lets you plug your video card up to a TV or similar.

There may not be an option to disable it, if not just plug it in. If you haven't checked please make sure your motherboard has an ACTUAL agp slot before buying an AGP card.

NOOOOO do not even consider Xabres. They are unsupported now and will NOT run latest games without a lot of trouble. I replaced mine months ago because it's basically legacy hardware now. Definately try and get something ATI / NVIDIA so you know it should at least run most games if not well

the ATI software has capture stuff in it too :)

That is a great deal, go for it!

no a VIVO card should be able to do it though I'm not too sure on the point. you'll need an SVideo output from your console to go into the SVideo input of the gfx card. Youll need to run some kind of capture program but they can usually display the live image from the input, so it could work.

not at the moment :S the card also has SVideo out but I've no idea how that will relate.

I've got my Crucial Radeon 9100 128mb which has both analogue and DVI connections, so I thought I could use dual displays by using a DVI dongle but alas it appears I cannot. The DVI connection on the card lacks the analogue signals, thats the four satelite pins around the cross, and the cross is...

With those high temps I wouldn't recommend overclocking because it will probably produce more heat and more heat lessons the life of the chip. If your willing to risk breaking the card and warranty by replacing the HSF to get your temps down then by all means go ahead :)

most games the 4200, sometimes the 9100. if you have a specific game in mind go look up the benchmarks

I wouldn't try extending an AGP riser more than a few inches, it just won't take it. If you can limit the AGP spec used in the BIOS you might be OK, or if the card you'r using is a lower AGP spec you might be ok, but I would definately recommend getting a riser that is already cabled to the...

There have been at least 3 cardmakers for ages, just none except ATI and NVIDIA have taken much market share. We've had the Kyros and the Savages and the Xabres and the Parehlihahelas and now the Volaris and Deltachromes. They have all helped keep the prices in at least the low end of the market...

It's probably only a temporary fudge on XGIs part to get the card running games that are unplayable otherwise. If you look at some of the games that it performs OK in like UT2k3 you see no optimisations. However either way the performance of the drivers at the moment is quite awful. If the...

well it's probably not suitable because it's very long, you can get shorter ones that would kep the card close to the mobo, and ribbon ones which are more flexibe.

of course if you've got space in the other direction an AGP riser card would let you use a biggun

Imagination Technologies are basically an IP company and they license out their chip designs for anyone who wants to make them. Since the KyroII noone has picked up the series 4 chip, STM dropped their option on it IIRC. However they still have a lot of other designs that are out their in arcade...

the only low profile cards are the FX5200 and r9200, so no great performers there but the 5200 is the best

well your card is either AGP or its PCI because it can't be in both slots at the same time. the setting in the BIOS is probably just setting the preference, so that if you have both AGP and PCI VGA cards installed it knows which is the primary display. if you have onboard graphics then you might...

This guy clearly has no idea about budget gaming. Buying a $100 video card you can easily run all of todays current games and most of the new ones for a good while. Who cares if you can't turn on 16x anti-aliasing at 10million by 7 million pixels.

I've built myself a small cased PC and so it has the following specs: Via c3 1ghz Nehemiah CPU @ 1.05 ghz 192mb PC133 ram @ 140mhz Compaq laptop DVD ROM drive with std size IDE adapter IBM laptop hard drive 3gb with std size IDE adapter ATI Radeon All In Wonder PCI with cabled PCI riser...

If your using Windows XP it should pickup a normal webcam using a standard driver, I know for my crappy logitech cam I don't need a driver. If it really does need a driver can't you go back to whence it came and find the make from there?

are you sure you dont just need to adjust the position of the picture on the monitor through the monitor controls?

presuming you don't put any application on it 5gb will be fine. I use 5gb myself and only have a couple applications installed on that partition.

if its out of warranty super glue the clip or create your own compound glue.

not much but probably a little. if the heatsink isn't adjoining properly you really should fix it

Yep

regardless the 9100 is an old high end card, 8500, and thus is not low profile.

they make some positive remarks but I don't see anything positive in the benchmarks :(
