    budget videocard upgrad suggestions?

    I currently have an AGP FX5200, and i am so frustrated with its crappiness. I used to have a 9700pro that i put a new heatsink on and voltmodded it to 1.9vcore and overclocked it to 460/360 (outperformed 9800pros). That lasted a little over a year then started artifacting all the time. I...

    Upgrading from Venice to X2--Windows reinstall necessary?

    If you want to take advantage of the second core, i believe you need to reinstall. Windows installs a HAL when you install it, and when you installed it with your single core it installed a single proc HAL. You will need to Repair your installation, or Reinstall it in order to take advantage...

    X2 4400+ Vs. Opteron 170

    except not.. the 3800 and 4200 have 512k/core cache. the 170 has 1mb/core cache. If you overclock, well worth the $$ saved from the 4400, and much better than the 3800.

    New Proc, or fix the old one

    im of the mindset that 754 is not worth putting money into. You will get much greater performance from a refurb 939 board, and a 3000+ venice.

    vga vs. dvi

    i would go with the 8ms flat panel, simply because 21ms will give you a ton of ghosting in games which i gaurantee you will see. you probably wont see any ghosting with 16ms and under, and i KNOW that you wont see any ghosting with 12ms and under. on the vga vs dvi note, i dont really see...

    Why not the GPU as a CPU?

    Its important for everyone to understand what a "flop" is; A "flop" is a floating point calculation, and incase your not familiar with what a floating point is, it is a number with a decimal place somewhere in it. If i remember back to my C/C++ classes, a floating point (refered to as a 'float')...

    craigslist is good, yes! However if your trying to sell anything dont expect what its actually worth, especially in my area (http://portland.craigslist.org/) its just full of lowballer's. Anyways, ive gotten 3 different jobs in under a year off of it, so its good for other things too.

    Hyperthreading RAWCKS!

    HT is the one thing I am really missing from my 2.8C to my 3000+. However, even at stock speeds, it was worlds faster in games. On my p4 i go ~60fps average on cs:s and when i switched to my AMD i turned on vsync and my fps never dropped below 75 even in full 32 player servers. Finally, i...

    New Opteron Prices

    question about s939 3000

    i would get a 3000 venice if you plan to overclock, or a 3200 venice if not. when i went from my 2.8c to my 3000 i noticed a huge difference in cpu intensive games such as hl2. my 3000 oc's to 2.7, but i run it at 2.4 because that seriouly is like a 3.8ghz p4 or better. bottom line-...
