I have almost the same system you do: AthlonXP 2400 OC'd to 3200 and a gig of DDR400. The only real difference is that I've a 6800GT. I tell you this because I'm running Quake 4 at 12x10 with high detail and 2xAA and it's perfectly smooth. In FEAR with the same settings, 12x10 with most...

Nevermind.

The exact same thing has happened to me and I have yet to find a solution. I installed WinXP on my hdd without problems and then pushed the oc too far. The computer wouldn't post and so I cleared the CMOS. Then, when it booted I got an Error Loading OS message just as you do. I've tried...

I'm no RAM aficionado, but given that the ram is listed as Level II, plastered with Level II stickers, and black (the bluish purple bits are just the ram coolers), I think it's Level II.

Normal 2500+ Barton = $75 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-378&depa=0 Mobile 2500+ Barton = $91 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-401&depa=0 As you can see, the price difference is $16, not $75. Mobiles are, as I understand...

I've looked at the FAQ about reusing LCD's and the process seems to require a controller for the LCD to intervace with VGA or DVI. My question is, aren't these things in the laptop? Doesn't the laptop come with some sort of controller and if not how does it work in the first place, some sort...

I'll be the first to say, spiffy!

I don't know how exactly you account for that, but the benchmarks stand regardless. Your 2.2ghz is equivilant to a 3.0ghz P4 in most apps/games. Why is another question. I'm not familiar with Pentium 4 based systems, but one of the differences that I picked up on from various overclocking...

I think that the DFI Infinity Ultra and the Abit NF7-S are the two most popular Socket A boards.

As long as you're not overclocking, and you aren't, the generic PSU should be fine. In other words, yes to your first question. As for the second, I don't know anything about any of those Asus boards. I think all nForce-2 based boards are essentially the same in that they all have onboard...

Well at the very least you should've suggested the Mobile 2400+ and not the 2600+. They're essentially the same thing and he's a kid on a budget. Still though, it wasn't bad advice. It was just given to the wrong person.

Remember though that to acheive a substantial and stable overclock you'll need to invest in a new cooling solution, ie. heatsink. Even after that though it'll still cost much less than a new 3200+ and could very well out perform it.

I'm a student living in a dorm so I've become used to gaming with headphones. They more or less block out all external sound anyway so it can make as much noise as it wants and I likely won't care. In fact, the more the better, as it'll annoy my roommate. So long as it cools enough for...

I'll bump it once.

http://store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/a1745.html Would that provide sufficient cooling for an Athlon XP Mobile 2500+ oc'ed to 3200+ speeds? I haven't got the chip yet so I can't provide oc voltages or stock temps, but I'm looking for a cheapoer cooling solution (sp97's expensive) and I'm...

Bring down the console with the ~ key then hit either tab or \ so that you see a \. Then type r_displayinfo 1 and hit enter. Set it back to 0 to shut it off. So that's "~tabr_displayinfo 1 enter" or "~\r_displayinfo 1 enter".

It's also my understanding that they're multiplier locked. That means the only way to oc an Athlon 64 system is to up the fsb which as Voltage more or less pointed out, forces more through the AGP and PCI slots which can cause stability issues. I'm no oc master so I could be wrong, but until...

It might shed some light on the "Have we seen the real NV40 yet?" question/debate. http://firingsquad.com/hardware/geforce_6800_ultra_2/ Sorry if it's a repost. I checked and didn't see anything from FS.

1) As far as features go, I think all the NForce 2 boards are more or less equal. The Abit NF7-S is another popular Socket A solution, but it won't, to my knowledge, allow for any greater upgradabilty. 2) Most of the regulars here would recommend that you avoid OCZ as their bussiness...

Oh. Right.

Exactly, thanks for pointing that out. This quote came out even before the code was stolen. Nothing has changed since then to indicate that it'll be delayed to 2005. As for might be delayed = will be delayed, you were right, but we've already seen that delay and I fully expect them to make...

It was about a week and a half ago I think and it wasn't a deal so much as a screw up/marketing ploy. Fry's advertised 9800XT's for $150 or some such low figure, when the card pictured and product number were for 9600XT's. Fry's more or less refused to honor that price, but some, like MaMMa...

In most sims you can increase the joystick's deadzone which is the area in which the joystick can move about without inputting a command. That'll get rid of drift. I don't know whether or not BF1942 has such a feature, but you might be able to adjust it through device manager.

And GeForce 9's are of course three generations away. By the time it launches, no one will care that the name overlaps the old ATI card.

They just ran up to the wreckage and took what they could with him standing over it?

Which version of Planescape Torment do you have, the original with box, manual, etc., or the two cd version that comes with SoulBringer? I see that SoulBringer is on the list. It's not a very good game and I'd be surprised if you bought it separately so I suspect that you have the 2cd version...

I have an Inspiron, though I don't remember the model number. It is I think four or five years old now; P2 266mhz, 144ram, 6gb hdd. It's been through a lot and still works very well. Maybe the quality of the parts they work with now isn't what it used to be because Dell made me one hardy...

Absolutely. We've yet to get a compelling first person WW2 experience. Anyone that thinks there's no room for another game, no room for improvement, is seriously underestimating the potential of our favorite pass time.

Those upgrades burninggrave suggested would cost approx $300. DFI Infinity Ultra $102 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-136-137&depa=0 Athlon XP Mobile 2400 $78 http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-400&depa=0 Kingston ValueRAM...

Are those your max/load temps or idle?

When you say you cleared the cmos, you can't be sure right because it still won't boot, so maybe it didn't clear afterall. Have you tried all three of the recommended methods? The three are listed here, though I'd imagine you've already checked Abit's site...

If anything, it's CoD meets Operation Flashpoint.

http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/projects_halo.html And though it's not mentioned because they didn't finish it, they were definately one of several out of house developers Valve hired to work on CS:CZ.

Until we get a good first person WW2 game, yeah we do need more. MoH and CoD are cheesy fun but they're the gaming equivilant of a big budget Holleywood summer blockbuster. They're short on substance, that is they lack compelling scenarios and characters and call me crazy, but I'd like some...

Understand though that to get a stable and safe overclock you'll need to buy a new heat sink which'll cost between $30 and $50 depending on which model you go for.

Thanks everyone. I guess I have to throw a fit every once in a while to get some answers. I was also wondering how it is that a heat sink could be considered a poor over clocker and yet a good cooler? If it cools well at stock voltages, why wouldn't it cool well at oc'ed voltages?

I found this posted over at Shaknews. It's better than the tech demo nVidia released if you ask me. http://sanbjoe.home.online.no/nv40/unreal3_0002.wmv I apologize if it's a repost. I didn't see anything like it up already.

Generally I'm thankful for any response, but that's just annoying. Where can I find it for less than $50? If you mean the SP94, I don't see anyone selling it for less than $49.95 and that's before a fan and shipping. As for the SLK-947U, the best price I've found is $34.95 at crazypc.com...
