I have adequate power (300w Antec) and my Epox 8RDA+ (latest BIOS/drivers) will randomly restart when I try to run programs. Is there a reason?

Maybe a slight gain in video encoding when SSE3 is written into optimizers, but other than that it was a bad decision. The 1 MB cache isn't gonna help, it needs that just to be able to compensate for errors in its longer pipeline.

If the IC7 and P4C800 could even support Prescott, now we know they can, but no one cares at all. Hilarious

No, the difference is less than 5% Your video card is getting old and is just a poor performer.

DDR2 is the new RAMBUS

Run it at at least 200 mhz FSB.

terrible. hot as hell and you won't be able to O/C for shit without some hardcore cooling

With the P4Cs the stepping doesn't affect overclocking ability

its a great case, everyone would have one if they had the money, so if you're poor get a poor quality case, if not get the premium quality

2mb virge on a pentium 75 to geforce 1 on a pentium 600

Regular/Max 2 don't even have options for more than 2.8v

Only speed/cas time are important. I run dual channel with a 512 stick and a 256 mb stick

the nforce3 is very disappointing so far

does it matter if I use cleartype anyway? is text sharpness still an issue?

I'm looking at the NEC Mitsubishi 17" LCD on newegg for its 16 ms timing. The model here is $441: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=24-002-078&catalog=20&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0 The model here is $495...

no reason not to go sata, its a cool technology, and for the same price...

so the 16ms response on that is legit? its not the ol 16 ms rise/fall trick?

I know nothing about these or how to go about researching =) Any help making a purchase is appreciated

Up to about 1.65v is safe on air cooling actually

They won't push many more triangles but they will be 2x or 3x faster for shaders, and it will really help for games awash in pixel shaders

I just got a 2x512MB kit of PC3500 Golden Dragon and both sticks are full of Memtest86 errors. Who is the better RMA experience with, shipping it back to newegg or trying with Geil?

I like having 2 from different brands to read the widest variety of CDs. I have a Liteon burner and Pioneer DVD ROM. If theres a weird CD or scratched CD that the Liteon won't read, the Pioneer usually will and vice-versa. Also, since I use SATA HDDs, each drive is Master of its own IDE...

Each new version of DirectX really optimizes the dlls for the last. It only uses 8.1 features, but it uses DirectX 9 because its methods of rendering DirectX 8.1 level effects are more efficient. Lots of games uses a higher DirectX than they have feature support for. Max Payne 2/Vice...

Newegg OEM processors are just great. Prescott, on the other hand, is awful. Intel is dumping tons of them as OEM because they really *won't* do much over their rated speed without getting very hot. If you're not overclocking, I'd still make sure you have a good copper cooler if you're going...

newegg just ran out of $70 sticks of Geil PC3500 512MB. Anywhere else having any good deals? I really can't afford $110/stick =(

It will never happen on a socket A board

I have a revision 1.03/4 Asus A7N8X deluxe and I was wondering if there was a way to change PCI latency on this board. Thanks

SATA drives aren't inherently faster, they just allow for potentially faster drives. They do use a different connector, a 7 pin cable instead of a 40 pin cable, so you can plug them in while the system is running (hotswapping.) Yes, your intel 865 board will have 2 SATA ports, allowing you to...

Windows XP Home supports hyperthreading.

When I went from 5400 RPM drive to my first IBM 7200, it was like a revelation! Everything loaded so fast and correctly... it was amazing. Wanting to relive that, and hearing nothing but good things about WD drives with 8MB cache, I took the plunge and bought a Raptor. Its not a huge jump in...

DVD 120S can fine

You're already paying out the ass for Intel, why stop now and get an OEM?

attach them both with the snapper things on the side opposite the OTES system. the other ends are small enough

I got one and I've received 2 for computers I built for others. I think they're out of WS steppings completely

dual channel isn't worth worrying about/breaking a sweat about. we're talking 3-7% memory increase in speed. Its nice to have but not worth working towards and losing sleep

if you have a shitty BIOS get a better one. I had samsung memory with an april 29 bios and couldn't squeeze 10 mhz out of my memory. with a flash to the august BIOS for my card I got 30 mhz

Absolutely no one is going to recommend Via chipsets over Nforce2 chipsets. Thats all you need to know. I concur.

250+ is multipleir nlicked lately, make user its pere-wk40

Core clock speed increases mean almost nothing for 9800s, even huge ones. I took my pro from 380 to 420 and it didn't change anything.
