Unfortunately, the people posting here so far about the 600Gt probably mean well..but they're wrong. I have a 6600GT, Athlon64 2800+, 1 GB Crucial RAM, 120 GB HD on a Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard and the Battlefield 2 can't run smooth on anything higher than 800 x 600 with details set to...

I've got a similar rig to the guy above that can't get a good framerate, and I'm having the same problem BIG time. I have an A64 2800+, 1 Gig PC2700 RAM, PNY 6600GT, 120 GB HD, on a Chaintech VNF3-250 mobo. I can only play at 800 x 600 with settings on MEDIUM with dynamic light and some...

P.S. - I'm not running at DDR400 speeds...during startup the screen reads "333 Mhz", so I think I'm good. I also set the RAM in the BIOS to max at 166MHz after I bought the new Kingston stick and it failed. GS

Get a dual processor G4 with 1GB of RAM or even 2GB if you are going to do alot of Photoshop or video work on BIG files. The guideline for RAM with photoshop is multiply your image size (in MegaBytes) x5 to get the amount of RAM you should buy. So...if you work on 200MB files, multiply that x5...

Well I'm back because the problems are back.... I just got back from BestBuy and bought a Kingston 512MB PC2700 stick for $30 after rebate. Thought I was all set. (got the last one too :), so I thought for SURE this was a good sign lol) Anyway..I put the Kingston in with my Crucial, and I...

Just ran memtest with 1 stick in....completely fine. Just ran memtest with 2 sticks....120 errors at 4% completion (when sticks in slots 1 and 3) Just ran memtest with 2 stick...47 errors at 30% completion (when sticks in slots 1 and 2) Thanks you guys!...but...why the big difference in...

No...i have no experience with using it....I've heard of it but don't know it's reliability or anything like that... What's the story on memtest? Do I just stick the RAM in, download memtest from somewhere and just hit "run"? :) This other stick of 512MB runs fine in another computer by...

Please help. :) I'm trying to finish off building my new computer (A64 2800+, PNY 6600GT, 512MB RAM (for now..trying to go to 1GB), 120GB HD, DVD burner, all on a Chaintech VNF3-250 mobo), and the new rig is restarting itself. I tracked it down to at least one cause being the second stick of...

Hi all, and thanks for taking a second to help me out.... I just built a Shuttle for my dad, and for some unknown reason, with only one hard drive in the case, the Windows XP installer would only designate that internal drive to read as an E: drive....and not C:....what gives with that? Is...

I'm a photoshop pro that has worked on some big budget projects of national exposure. I use macs, but build my own PC's as well, but I don't have any expert advice for you on this one, although I just built an Athlon 64 myself. Best bet is probably just to read the anandtech reviews of 939...

Just tried booting with just floppy and HD and Vid Card...no DVD, just 1 stick of RAM in DIMM slot 1....all I get is the fans spinning on heatsink and in case, oh..and the fan on my Ti4200 is spinning....but no beep...no screen display...nothing...sigh PSU is set correctly to 110. Guess I...

what is the BARE minimum a comp needs to post? I'll do it right now... thanks for your replies, GS

I just put together my Chaintech VNF-350, A64 2800+, PNY 6600GT, 512MB Crucial RAM (1 stick now, another 512MB coming later), DVD burner, 120 GB Western Digi HD, and Antec Power Supply.....and my baby won't POST! I've tried moving and reseating the RAM, tried a backup PSU I have lying around...

BF2 will run fine on a 6600GT. Just read the previews on the net where it's being run really well with all the goodies on ATI 9800 Pro's. If computers won't run a game well, then the game doesn't sell......BF2 will run just fine on slower than top end cards, and thankfully that's a documented...

Hey all, I'm building a new PC getting ready for Battlefield 2 and all the other new-engine games, and I need to move my Far Cry saved games from my current PC to the new PC.... Anyone know where they're saved and what if anything I need to do to ensure that I can load my saved games up on...
