    x1900 crossfire is disappointing... Or is it just me?

    cpu limited may seem logical.. I have a amd64 4000+ clocked at default 2.4, so I'm not really sure. Scores with 3dmark06: (Again, nothing is OCed) single xtx: 4600 CF : 5200 quake4 benchs (single and CF) seem normal too, given some reviews I have seen. I probably expected too...

    Mouse looses its settings when unplugging and replugging into usb ports.. any ideas?

    Good question. Actually I'm not unplugging and replugging it in. I use a KVM switch with USB ports for keyboard and mouse. When I switch from a computer to another it's the exact same thing as unplugging and replugging the mouse/keyboard in the USB port, hence my question. As for your...

    Mouse looses its settings when unplugging and replugging into usb ports.. any ideas?

    I use a Logitech G5 with its latest drivers (SetPoint) with Windows XP Pro SP2. Whenever I unplug my mouse and replug it, it looses its settings (mouse speed, buttons assignment, etc). It's as if each times windows detect a new mouse. Sometimes it detects the same mouse and applies settings...

    Do you need to reformat when going from single core to dual core (amd64)

    I heard when going from p4 to p4 hyper-threading with Intel you needed to reformat Windows (xp-sp2) to get running at maximum potential. Is it the same with single core to dual core with AMD64? Thank you,
