will a 512mb x1950pro run games decently at this res?
games like CSS, CoD2, bf2/2142
i'm hoping for detail on high, while AA and AF are less important to me than overall detail
sadly, dell didn't see fit to equip this lovely diminutive machine with a synaptics touchpad. rather, they stuck it with an ALPS unit. my dad is not pleased. he is already in serious withdrawl from the synaptics tap zones and whatnot
is there some sort of alternative driver or software that...
Routers have been plugged into different outlets (on the same duplex), different surge protectors, I've tried everything...and I made sure to swap out the brick...thanks for the suggestion thought
Over the past couple of years, I've had a lot of wireless network equipment in my house...
in order:
1) Linksys WAP11
2) Netgear MR814
3) Linksys BEFW11S4
4) Netgear WGT624
Each one of these routers has died. Not been switched out for something better. Simply died. Right now I'm...
I should also clarify the first post, that the computer was ON when I first found this problem, that when turning on the monitor, my already powered on computer was displaying nothing.
about this beeping...thing is, the mobo has no speaker that i can see (or even a buzzer), nor does the case, as far as i can tell...the only status indicator is the LED light on the board which is blue for standby and red for on, both being the appropriate colors...
ARGH
tried one stick of ram in various slots, no dice
did it again with no HDs attached, no dice.
i'm guessing it's the motherboard given that it doesn't POST, but it spins up fans and disks(i.e.psu functions)
unless someone thinks its the videocard?

I left for the weekend (starting thursday), left the computer on, came back, and to my dismay...
So, I'm going to college next year and lookin for some computer speaker advice...
I'd ideally like something with multiple, switchable sources, so I could run my computer, tv, and record player all on one set of speakers...
I also would very much like to avoid a reciever/etc simply out of...
So tomorrow, when I boot/install an OS on my new rig, I'm going to have to put the OS on one of the two 250gb hard drives...
However, I want these drives on separate SATA controllers (for example a PhotoShop scratch disk is useless unless it's on a separate controller than the OS disk, or so...
Also:
I've looked at the BB website, and the cheapest card is a 6200TC for around 50, I'm more curious if any of you [H]ers have seen any better in-store deals...Out of curiosity, does a 6200TC outperform an FX5200?
any videocard I could pick up at best buy for a $33 giftcard and a few cash dollars thrown in...just to hold me over until i can afford either a G80 or R600
I was hoping for the $50 dollar range...or maybe even less???
it doesn't even have to be that good, just has to drive 1680x1050 and be...
I started this thread to gather opinions on the best use of my $280. You presented an offer, which I evaluated, and we had some good discourse going, until you felt it necessary to tell me to just buy your card and that Xfire was a piece of shit, more reason to buy your card.
First of all...
greta you just lost a sale:
chill out, consider your price (which from other FS/T forums i've looked at, is high for that card, even discontinued)
cut the "screwed up all my games" crossfire routine...because its really childish
and finally, calm down, i'm not gonna decide to buy your card an...
the idea of waiting a month or two makes my blood curdle...
i bought all this stuff at once, a huge box from newegg, and a smaller from monarch (that is now nonexistent)
so i have a killer rig sitting at my desk, that hasn't even been powered on because it's got no videocard!!!AAGH!
I was...
thank you UnknownSouljer, my thoughts exactly...
and as for the older design blower cooler, how loud are we talking here? because the last stock cooled videocards I had were a 9800XT and an X800Pro, both of which were intolerably loud.
After 15 days of waiting for monarch to stop fucking me, I've decided that they fucked me, so I've been sitting here for 2 weeks with a great rig (P5B dlx wifi, E6600, 2x1gb DDR2 etc) without being able to use it...So, I'm issuing a chargeback for an HIS Radeon X1950Pro IceQ3
That gives me...
I'm going C2D!
Anyway, below is my last ever high school computer build (I'm buying parts to reward myself on sending out a Tufts Early Application)
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 @ $315
Motherboard: Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP @ $229.99
RAM: G.SKILL 2x1GB DDR2 800 Kit F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ @ $224.99...
Thanks for all the input, I'm gonna go either with the x1900gt or the 7900gs...
However, as I look at the egg's selection of these cards, I'm not finding anything with HDCP support, which I'd like to have...
Also, what manufacturers explicitly allow you to remove the heatsink and use a...
for ramsinks applied to GPU memory with supplied thermal tape, can one just yank them off (Carefully, of course)?
or, is one now stuck with a bunch of copper on the chips as one would be with say, artic silver adhesive
ok:
none (Magitronic running Dos)->Integrated Intel Graphics in 100mhz Pentium Laptop (IBM Thinkpad 560, what a bitchin machine)->VooDoo Banshee 16mb (back to desktops)->pre-Ti series GeForce 3->Radeon Mobility 9700 (switched from desk to apple powerbook)->Radeon 9800XT->Radeon X800Pro->Intel...
I game a bit, but nowhere near hardcore (i.e. the odd match of BF2 or CS:S here and there, or occasionally a weekend marathon of AOE3 or COD2)
While those games might look graphically demanding, I'm less concerned with having the absolute highest framerates and more concerned with it being...
ny, eh? you could come to my house to see a W1 (not W3) westy 37" in action
on eastern long island...lol
it's a really gorgeous panel, even when playing cablevisions shit programming (content, not picture quality)
yeah..umm...out of curiosity, how often do the 2007fpws become seriously hot, and how how?
is 150 honestly the sale price they go to?
ive heard reports of 240 and i was like NO way...
im craving an LCD like mad, and so im trying to find out whether to wait for good dell deal or just spring on...
on the 1600 front, is it going to be an upgrade from an x800 pro or will it be worse?
also, wasnt it said that HL2 ran respectably on the 1600s found in the macbook pros?
also, when they dx10 cards come out i'll be buying one, and a large flatscreen
until then im sticking with my 17" crt...
