Woohoo, to follow up on my previous thread I got the ATI card outta the Gf's comp and into mine! Woohoo I scored almost 15k on 3dmark I'm very happy. I'm using the ATI drivers from there website. I've heard of better drivers can anyone point me to the direction of them? Also I ended up having to buy a new powersupply a 430watt. My old 350w didn't have enough power outlets and I couldn't find a molex splitter...O well. So now the rig is as follows:

P4 2.4 800mhz FSB
Asus P4P800 MB
512MB PC3200 400mhz
Samsung DVD
Lite-On 54x CDRW
3.5" floppy
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
80Gig Ata/133 IBM
160Gig Atat/133 SeaGate
Viewsonic A90f+ 19in
Windows XP Pro
Logitech Cordless MX Duo
Antec 430Watt Powersupply
Comet Case
Logitech Z340

Over all I'm pretty dang happy with my system now! Doom 3 and Half Life 2 here I come

http://www.driverheaven.net/downloads/index4.htm How are these drivers, like I said I am using the stock ATI catilysts. What kind of performance gains will I see. I really have no desire to overclock so no talk of that :p :cool:

I think the next upgrade will be more memory. Probably another 512 Pc3200 stick. Im looking at getting some from www.18004memory.com for $89

How easy? I would try to look some stuff up but the search feature is disabled...
 
yes, that system screams for OC.

Your rightful place is at least a few more thousand points in 3DMark2001.
 
Go into the BIOS and set the FSB to 250. Set the Set the RAM ratio to 5:4 to keep the memory in spec. You sholdnt have to up the Vcore at all.

After that you will have a 3ghz CPU with a 1Ghz FSB.:)

p4p800 overclocking (for the AI board)
(I always start small with the OC'ing, and go up from there)
go into bios (press delete when ya see the head logo thing)
goto advanced tab
under AI Overclock - set it to 5% overclock
F10 to save and exit
It'll do the rest

If that works out, can try 10%.. etc..

very easy board to overclock with
by far my favorite board! =)
