Another thing to add to this, Apples G4 Cube is classed as a super computer (not sure what speed proc is in those though). This can't be said of a P3 based computer. But I think that until you could run some sort of standard os on each of these processors, it is unfair to compare them. I don't...

When I tried the Loki opengl renderer a while back with the compressed textures, my framerate fell to half of what I was getting in d3d (I was getting about 70-75 in d3d, but 35-40 with the Loki renderer). I followed everything you had to do, and it sure looked purdy with the textures, but why...

Nah, Windows ME uses a version of Directx 7. I think it's something like Directx 7.1, as M$ had to change 7.0a a little bit to get it to work properly. This version is specific to WinMe as it was never meant to be used on any other M$ operating sys. Really though, you should get Directx 8 as it...

I run a P3 600e on my P2B using one of the ASUS slocket adaptors. The adaptor allows you to adjust the voltage setting so the coppermines will work properly. I'm not sure what revision my motherboard is, but the chip runs fine at 800mhz (133mhz fsb) in the slocket, at the default voltage...

Just to let you know, I have a P3 600e, and it runs fine at 800mhz (133mhz fsb) on my ASUS P2B. I've never had any trouble with my Geforce DDR due to the overclocked agp port. Basically, if the graphics card can handle the 89mhz agp port, then you should be fine, and as previously stated...

NFS:PU does work ok, but you have to use the no-cd patch. I won't post a link to it, but you should be able to find it ok.

You have tried adjusting the controls on the monitor haven't you? Quite often, different resolutions won't entirely fill a screen up until you have adjusted you monitor settings. There should be settings where you can stretch the display horizontally and vertically so it fills up your screen.

The standard fan should be ok for moderate overclocks. I have a P2B too and I have my P3 600 running fine at 800 using the standard fan. Basically all you can do with Intel processors is change the front side bus (fsb) speed. I'm not sure if you P2 runs on a 66mhz fsb or a 100mhz fsb. If you...

If you go to http://www.geforcefaq.com there is a question there that says something like "my refresh rate in games is always 60hz". If you look at the answer, there is a link to a little program for win2k that lets you setup refreshrates for geforce's in win2k. I have a geforce ddr...
