    Comp freezes/Restarts when I unzip/install files

    SLOW Radeon LE: Help!

    I actually didn't even unlock my processor because this is a budget system (pity that I have 160 fsb capable ram in there)... So I am running 9.5x105 or something like that... there is a "fsb +" option to force a couple added mhz to the bus or something...that is all.... I was thinking of...

    SLOW Radeon LE: Help!

    Anandtech itself has a guide on how to flash to the "regular" card... Check it out... I only disabled truform in Counterstrike... I did it by going through the counterstrike directory in half-life.. and modifying some values in the config.cfg file set the following values to zero: ati_npatch...

    SLOW Radeon LE: Help!

    SLOW Radeon LE: Help!

    Someone just suggested that "trueform" was enabled... and that it was being done in software = slow.. So how do I turn this off if this is the case?

    SLOW Radeon LE: Help!

    I'm not exactly sure what I am doing wrong, but I just installed a radeon LE into my budget system (replaced an older geforce DDR) and it is very slow... For example, even in a simple game like counterstrike, when people get on screen, the frame-rate crawls at about 27-45... whereas on my old...

    What do you think of my PC so far?

    sanyo denki makes some of the best case fans around, they are my favorite.... If you can find a cheap source, go for it... I have more sanyo denki fans that any other brand...And I have about 40 fans at home! I'd have to say my personal order is: Sanyo Denki > Papst > Panaflo > Sunon & Y.S...

    >> Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse Only $9.95 AR

    About the rebate: Do you have to fill out a form and mail it in or what? Or does the rebate come with the box the mouse is in? Or better yet, is it automatically done and mailed out to you? I'm guessing that we have to mail it out, but does anyone know here? I'd like to know.. Thanks

    possible hot: WD 80GB HDD + 24x10x CD-RW for $130 after pricematch and MIR

    so does this work, or should I wait for 32x burners and the ibm 120gxp? (or a deal on those items rather)
