I would pay up to $200.00 U.S. Its like any hardware. If a must have game comes out that takes large advantage of it then I'll buy it. It took GLQuake to make me buy my Canopus Pure3d Voodoo1 card. The problem I see is with online games. People talk about destructible enviroments in...

I went with a rather pedestrian overclock of 2500 thats at stock cooling and voltage. Have not felt the need to go any faster. Your chips multiplier is locked from going up but you can go down. For instance I set my CPU multiplier at 10 so I could use 250FSB to give me an even 2500...

Did you try reducing your memory timings. I know a lot of people dont like to do it but setting your RAM to 2T might give you your overclock. Some boards have a bug that doesnt let them overclock at 1T. I hope you get it all figured out. I know its gotta be frustrating paying all that...

I was gonna upgrade for BF2 also. I run at 1280x960 2xaa 4xaf with most settings at medium with an average framerate in the 80's and I still get drops down into the 40's during heavy fighting. The worst map for me is Sharqi Peninsula around the construction site. It is so damn bad sometimes...

I'm very happy with my Viewsonic G90F2. Its around $210.00 dollars. I only use 1024 on my desktop so I cant vouch for how sharp it would be at higher rez. For gaming its a great monitor it will do 1600X1200 at 77hz. The geometrey was almost spot on right out of the box. This was real nice...

Because there are just as many movies made at 1.85:1 and they arent going to work to well on 2.35:1 display. You would end up with bars on the sides if you want to keep proper AR.

I thought I read on one of the forums that EVGA would ship to Canada for regular MSRP. Maybe look into that if you really want a GT. If I was going to choose between a 6800NU and a x800Pro. I think I would definitely get the X800. I'm not sure if the X800 is worth twice the amount of the...

Hi AtDoom3, Dont worry about Doom3 picking 640x480 its just picking that because you only have a 128MB card. Dont use Ultra High Quality settings with your card. There is very little difference between High and Ultra High. Except UltaHigh doesnt use any compression so needs a ton of...

I'm glad you got it figured out. It has me wondering though about the accuracy of built in temp probe on these cards. My case is in free air and has pretty good ventilation. My BFG 6800GT usually levels off around 76C after several hours of gaming. I dont get any artifacts. Also like other...

What does your bios say the voltage to your AGP slot is? Maybe a component that regulates the voltage to your slot has gone bad. Just a guess.

Nevermind I called a local shop and had one of the techs look at there new A64s and he confirmed that they dont have the little foot on the end of the cam lever. Guess AMD just didnt update their literature.

I just received a 3000+. When I'm looking at the heatsink I noticed that the foot at the end of the Cam lever is missing. You know the little tab that locks onto the lug on the retention mechanism. The weird thing is that it doesnt look like it was broken off or anything. Its just completely...

SeadOnkey, Thats a cool idea. Did you just set your bios to boot the USB key?

Hi Zebo, I figured around $350 and just keep my current video card for a little while longer. Mobo-$90 CPU-$175 1 512-$85 Thats still alot of money if its not gonna be a pretty big change. Myk 3y, Thanks for your suggestion I did try to overclock and so far it hasnt been goin to well...

Thanks Zap, I built up enough courage today to give it another try. I upped the voltage to 1.550. I set the mem ratio to 1:1 Then I set the FSB to 150. PC posted, showed the correct P4 2700 18x150 Memory @ 300 Made it to the desktop nothing seemed out of the ordinary. So I went ahead and...
