I'm still up in the air, it took me about a day to beat doom 3, but i flew through it. about a week on nightmare, but 3 days from the release of HL2 i still havent beaten it, mainly because i can't get into it.
I liked many aspects about both games, but the fear aspect in doom 3 is shot to shit...

found this
if its a repost, sorry, but hey 90 bucks, i had to spread the word.
Doesn't work.
My friend had a cd shatter in his drive, all the shit stayed into the drive, took him a while to clean it all out, but no damage.
BIOS flash seems to be the only thing thatll work without physically damaging the computer.
yeah id like to hear an idea about this too, i was just thinking about changing all my keys to saying something like, oops, or panic, or making the middle row say nobody cares.
For the record, doom 3 doesn't like omega drivers.
I was running them and the game crashed every now and then.
The second i switched to catalyst 4.9, problem solved.
So... lemme get this straight. Informing me of the ATI doom3 tweaks is refered to as, "Hey there are some tricks to double the speed of ATI cards maybe you should check them out" Alright makes sense... wait.
my brother keeps informing me of tweaks that can be done on Radeon cards, im running a 9800xt so this is of interest to me, i was wondering if anyone else has heard of such tweaks?
1.7 volts?! The max for a prescott is 1.525, you're really pushing it. Is your ram set at 1:1? That was my problem getting it past 170 FSB, I completely forgot about it
Alright, the ram is running perfectly well, its the processor that won't do jack. There has to be something I'm overlooking. What board are you people running that have it upwards of 200 FSB
Yeah, Jeef, i can run halo at full detail with 8x antialiasing with above 30 fps constant. at 1024x768, and thats only because i don't care to try higher
Alright, I put the voltage up to 1.5, and ive decided its the motherboard, the ram is corsair that is good up to 225, we tested it at that. and 3.24 is definately the limit
I keep hearing stories about the prescott being stable at 3.5 or even 3.6 on stock cooling. But, I'm using a Zalman 7000A AlCu, 1.4250 Voltage on the processor, and it's still not Prime95 stable at (178 FSB) 3.24. I'm using an Asus P4C800 Deluxe. Is it windows? or my processor? or my board?
My PT880 has just been a problem since i got it and im fed up with it, it died today and i hope it burns in hell.
If anyone has recommendations for a Intel board that supports prescotts, is decent at overclocking, supports dual channel memory, and is good for gaming lemme know.
and if at...
I'm in the process of overclocking a 2.4A prescott, but everytime i put the FSB above 166, it won't boot, now this is no where close to the settings ive seen at other places, including Hardocp. I have the same processor that everyone seems to be getting 3.6 (productcode SL7E8)
And I'm running...
just changing the frequency shouldn't damage the cpu at all, but if you decide to up the voltage, thats another story, increasing the voltage makes the processor run alot hotter, and i'm sure thats not good for any processor, northwoods only die if you put up the voltage, its next to impossible...
Hey, me being the complete idiot that I am when it comes to Linux I decided to install it as a second operating system, the primary one being windows xp, will there be any speed problems if i install them on the same partition or should i cut the partition in half and put them each on their own...
i'd vote Antec True power, i have 3 of them, 2 380's and a 430 (once again me being anyone remotely related to me that normally lives in the same household) and i also have a 180 watt antec psu that hasn't let me down yet
