Thx for the answer, CoDerEd, I found out myself too already. So to share my findings with anyone coming by later: I had a stick of 256 MB DDR266 CL2 Apacer memory, my FSB o/c'ed to 140, command rate set to 2T, CL set to 2, of course. Command rate of 1T would not even boot. This memory stick had...

I was wondering which forum to post this question in... I hope this was not the worst possible choice ;) Anyway, does anyone know FOR SURE (I've heard a lot of "opinions" already, besides having some on my own) if DDR333 SDRAM module will work in place of a DDR266 module (specifically, in a...

I would recommend a Radeon 8500. Since you're used to Voodoo5's image quality, a GeForce could be a disappointment. Well, at least I did this (exchanged a Voodoo5 for a Radeon 8500LE) a month ago and I've been happy since :)

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping to get to o/c ing during the weekend :)

Hi all, I finally dropped my Voodoo5 in favor of a Radeon 8500LE :) made by Club3D. So far, I'm extremely happy with the card. One thing that surprised me was that my card's core was clocked at 250, but memory at only 238 MHz, although it is equipped with 3,6 ns Hynix memory chips, the same...

It is just BFG10K considering 60 fps a slide show and 1024 x 768 a low resolution ... again (oh yes, I forgot to mention the long debate over average vs. max. vs. min. FPS) Please! Nothing against a personal preference, but I think most people have much lower demands on 3D gaming than sustained...

Big thanks to Rand and all others for their help!

Can anyone clarify what are all the different clock speed versions of the Radeon 7500/8500[LE] cards? I have read that non-ATI cards have lower clock speeds than cards made by ATI, and that even OEM versions have different clock speeds than retail ones while both are made by ATI. I was thinking...

That asks for a bump :)

Before someone else does, I'll explain myself: RC5 is an encryption algorithm, and the project of the same name, run by distributed.net (http://www.distributed.net), is looking for the correct 64-bit key in a public contest. The project has been running for about 1550 days now and will be...

OK, now that I've gotten your attention, I would like to cool you down a bit :) I don't want to start a thread about which project is better or why, all I want to ask is this: 1] Has anyone tried to recalculate SETI WU's to RC5 stats units or vice versa to be able to compare finished work...

Yes, I quite agree, but if you DO game AND don't want to say goodbye to your Voodoo? I frankly don't know what to get when the time comes (and that is probably going to be soon, I fear). Look at my specs below and you'll see what I mean.

I am still hanging on to my V5. I run desktop @ 1280 x 1024 and I have run all games at 1024 x 768 - until now. Return to Castle Wolfenstein made me drop to 800 x 600 and it was still very jerky in some complex areas (especially the Chateau). Luckily, I finished the single player game yesterday...

Thanks for the reply! I also dual boot W2000 & W98, so that is not an issue. But that means I would have to drop the idea watching TV on my PC... well... I am just curious if I can get my slimy paws on the Pinnacle here in Prague, Czech Rep. I can't remember seeing any products of this company...

Just please, don't forget to let us know! I'm more than curious!:)
