    what are you guys gettin wit 3dmark2001?

    Cranked up mem core to 395 on my gts and got 2911 at default The funny thing is if you go into details after the benchmark and look at the fps for low and high detail settings the "high" detail mumbers hardly move even with changes to a lower resolution or an increase in mem clock...

    Beating a dead cat....Dolby digital 5.1, WinDVD2.3, SB Live x-gamer

    Finally broke down and bought the retail version of Win DVD 2.3 so I can enjoy the digital output (5.1). To my dismay I cannot get the digital signal recognized on my dtt 2500 digital speakers. The yellow din connector is plugged into the card then it splits into two: RED S-type and black rca...

    Mushkin Rev 3 222 PC133 memory, is it worth it?!

    Rev 3 is excellent. Seen some reviews at 157 2-2-2....but who clocks that high? The single sided module is more compatible with the i815 boards if that matters. PC nut.com has the 128mb stick for 120 + 8$ for shipping=128$ Well worth it if your going to stick with SDRAM for a while.

    Hmmm....yes, I'm getting the feeling you don't like CL dvd drives. Maybe thats why they are so cheap price wise. Thanks for your input. Anyone else care to comment?

    PC-DVD Ovation 12x/40x from creative labs with windvd soft decode...any good??

    Any experience with this DVD and software would be appreciated. Love my pioneer but this one is cheaper and has a 5.1 software decoder. (Need one for a new system I'm building.) Thanks.:D

    Ups and BUY.com

    Buy.com does have that crazy rule about ten days but once the ten days is up they are more than willing to re-ship the item or refund your money. I had this happen on a item I ordered. The only drawback was the waiting time. Also, be courteous with them and they'll go out of their way to...

    Advantage of one stick of 256 meg

    Lxi, Never had RAM die....knock on wood...doesn't seem like to much of an issue to me. If RAM is bad, it seems like it starts out that way?:)

    Cheapest 256mb stick of PC133? (that will work on an ASUS CUSL2-C)

    Mushkin rev 2 or rev 3 will be your best bet. Tried and tested. Rev 3 might only be in 128 mb though. You'll have to check. Prices are very competitive. Don't settle for less, these i815 boards like good RAM. Mushkin.com
