    What onboard video chipset can handle CS: Source full detail?

    Apparently I didnt know my own system, which is quite sad, but in my own defense I built it 2+ years ago, and havent looked at it much since. ;-) Here are the specs: Motherboard - ECS C51GM-M (V1.0) AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard...

    What onboard video chipset can handle CS: Source full detail?

    The room is not overly small, but it is cramped with a large bed, and therefore the only thing that fits is a small desk, which subsequently the P180 is much to large for. I realize its an awesome case, which is why I bought it, but for what it is used for, it seems like overkill. Perhaps...

    What onboard video chipset can handle CS: Source full detail?

    I like where you are headed with this last thought. Do you have any specific recommendations for CPU, GPU, and PSU. Also, with these recommendations would you also recommend aftermarket CPU & GPU coolers OR would the stock coolers be sufficient enough in regards to noise. Thanks!

    What onboard video chipset can handle CS: Source full detail?

    I want to ditch the P180 because it is HUGE. I would like something smaller for the spare bedroom, because the P180 just doesnt fit in there. I have all nexus fans, and they didnt seem that quiet. I will have to check to see what setting they are at, but I thought it was at medium. I think...

    What onboard video chipset can handle CS: Source full detail?

    Thanks for all your replies. It looks like there isnt an onboard video chipset yet that can do what I am looking for. I havent had much luck with building a quiet or cool machine despite my efforts in the past. I will look into some of the recommendations for the PSU and video card coolers...

    What onboard video chipset can handle CS: Source full detail?

    I am wondering what, if, any, on board graphics chipset exists out there on the Micro-ATX form factor that can handle playing an older game like Counter-Strike:Source on full detail with good frame rates? Will the Geforce 8 series chipsets handle that? What about any of the ATI Radeon...

    AMD X2 5200+ ECS & NFORCE 4M-A Problems Please Help!

    I dont see anywhere in the BIOS to set the voltage for the ram. It only allows me to change the timing, ie.. 533, 800, etc.. And also the CAS latency, but no voltage? Is that possible - meaning do some BIOS/motherboards not allow you to change volatge of RAM? I know I have seen it on some of my...

    AMD X2 5200+ ECS & NFORCE 4M-A Problems Please Help!

    Well I actually researched memory before I bought, and patriot has pretty good reviews. There were also good reviews with it supposedly working in my motherboard. Who knows if it was the same stuff though since there seems to be a million different types of RAM these days!? I find it kind of...
