    Some help choosing memory Please!

    Hey, thanks a lot for the info guys. I haven't yet decided whether to run 1:1 or 5:4 yet, but i know that if running 1:1 PC4000 is the way to go and running 5:4 PC3500 will be groovy. I guess i just want the most for my money. I'm planning on Playing EQII when it comes out, if that helps any...

    Some help choosing memory Please!

    HEiDi Ho again everyone, Thanks Doobie for the reply. So if I were to get PC4000 and run 1:1 do you think that Geil would be the best? I want to see if I would be able to keep latencies tight at this speed. Also, I was wondering with respect to which ram I will be purchasing, what you guys...

    Some help choosing memory Please!

    Hey guys n gals, I was considering upgrading my p4 1.8 OC'ed to 2.4 to a P4 2.4C and was wondering what kind of memory would be ideal for my system. I plan on overclocking the SOB as much as possible; probably around the 3.0 - 3.2 mark somewhere. In consideration of this, I was considering...

    Radeon 9800 Pro...Any Ideas?

    Forgot to add this also, when I tried to turn the speed up to 8x or 4x or anything, and reset to retest the SMARTgart, it would just go back to the off position as opposed to staying at the setting I set it at. Thanks

    Radeon 9800 Pro...Any Ideas?

    Hey dudes n dudettes, I recently reformatted my harddrives, and when I reinstalled my Radeon Drivers and Cat 4.5's I noticed that on the SMARTgart tab, it says that my Set AGP Speed is off. Before I reformatted, I had Fast Writes off and Current AGP was set at 8x. Please help me out if...

    1024 Ram Vs. 768

    My thoughts exactly MechBgon, thanks for clarifying that. I'm going to upgrade my processor soon to a P4 2.4C 800 FSB and overclock the SOB so i believe i'm going to sell my current ram and invest in some either OCZ PC3500 2x256 Dual Channels EL or Mushkin Lvl 2 2x256 PC3500's (if i can find...

    1024 Ram Vs. 768

    I thought that in order to run dual channel, you would have to have 2x256 of the same sort and speed ram? Also, don't you have to have all ram chips of the same size? Like, I couldn't run 512 in single and 2x256 in dual right? just me 2 cents :beer:

    1024 Ram Vs. 768

    Cool thanks guys. I tried taking it out just for fun anyhow, and found that I was able to OC the CPU further to about 2.45, but then game stability and benchmarking on 3dmark01 was noticeably lower. So i guess my conclusion is that similar or better ram allows for better OCs, but on games...

    Hey guys, I have a P4 1.8 OC'ed to 2.35 on 1.60V, a Asus p4p800 Mobo, Radeon 9800 Pro 128, 1 stick of 512 Spectek PC2700,1 stick Spectek 256 PC2700, and some kinda Nanya(crap) PC2700 256. when i looked at the latencies it was 2.5-4-4-8 @ a 3:4 divider as my CPU is running at 130MHz. I know...

    Radeon 9800 Pro...Some issues

    yup yup, I ran everything at stock and it was fine the way it was. But I guess that would just be undermining my whole effort of getting the most bang for my buck by just leaving it alone... I couldn't really do that to my sweet baby now could I? hehe. Ne how, ran cab cleaner and...

    VGA Silencer question

    Sup guys, I have had mine running for about 2 months now. I can say it's an excellent cooler. Yeah the vid card will naturally get pretty hot, my Radeon 9800 Pro runs pretty damn warm. The hot air does get exhausted in the back of the case, but the fan on the bottom is not an exhaust...
