I also am going to upgrade for BF2. I seem to be in the same boat as most of you guys (P4 2.8 + Radeon 9800 AGP (non-Pro)... heheh, okay maybe just a tad bit slower. Anyways, I wasn't really planning on upgrading, but my 9800 broke the very first time I put in BF2!!! It seemed to work fine...

You can, but it is not a good idea. This has nothing to do with being able to disable ECC in BIOS. ECC memory will generally have 9 devices per side while non-ECC memory devices have 8 per side (x8 devices). Modern chipsets require advanced memory initialization routines (in BIOS) that...

Hi guys, I bought a Lynksys wireless router last month. I get SBC DSL (PPPoE), and wanted to share my connection between my win2000-desktop (using standard cable) and my XPhome-laptop (802.11b). I configured both PC's to use static IP's behind my router. My router (gateway) was set to...

Hey guys, I hate to rain on the parade, but I think we were focusing on the wrong words here. It seems to me AMD is saying that while they may have some system availablility in Q2, I wouldn't expect large volumes until the second half of 2003. It seems to me they might be having trouble with...

I have a Dell X200 with a TrueMobile wireless mini-PCI card and am having the same trouble. I have a Lynksys wireless DSL router. I get disconnects every once and a while... sometimes every 5-10 minutes, other times I can go all day. I have a 2.4GHz phone, but I turned off the phone (removed...

It uses the memory controller of the 845G. That DDR333 memory controller along with HyperThreading support makes this a very exciting chipset :D Where do I sign up?

Excellent call... I think that would be my choice also :D

Hammer is a significant extention of the K7 microarchitecture. The feature list might make it look more dissimilar to the Athlon than P4 was to P3, but not in the underlying microarchitecture. As sohcan mentions, new microarchitectures are usually new paradigms in design. The P4 brought us a...

Depends on your definition... My definition is rather strict i.e. P.Pro -->PII -->PIII (Katmai) -->PIII (Coppermine)---> PIII (Tualatin)---> Timna (never saw the light of day)---> All 6th generation If you don't consider the above all the same generation, then there is no need to argue. If...

I would like to know what Mr. Burns would say about the Xeon using the same logic I don't think Intel has ever claimed the Xeon to be a next generation CPU (over the P4). AMD is saying the Hammer is 8th generation while the Athlon is 7th generation. From all the microarchitectural details...

I am also having similar problems. I just bought a Dell X200 laptop with Dell Truemobile 1150 wireless mini-PCI card. I also just bought a Lynksys wireless router/access point. At first, I could only stay connected for about 4-5 minutes, then everything would die. Sometimes it would say I...

Well, I just upgraded my system, to those considering upgrading an old video card (note I have a fast CPU) to a new one. Okay, here are my results for my P4 system: 2.5GHz P4 1.25GB PC800 ECC ATI Radeon DDR 32MB --now--> Prolink GF4 Ti4200 128MB (280MHz core, 500MHz memory) Results...

Okay, here are my results for my P4 system: 2.5GHz P4 1.25GB PC800 ECC ATI Radeon DDR 32MB <-- needs help :o Results: 1280x960x32 Flythrough--23.4 Bot-----------16.2 1024x768x32 Flythrough--35.6 Bot-----------23.9 800x600x32 Flythrough--42.0 Bot-----------32.2 640x480x32 Flythrough--69.2...

Uhhh, sorry EvilMan. Hyper Threading is "built in" to Northwood, but it is disabled by a fusing option. There will be no BIOS updates or any other patches that will enable it. When Intel enables Hyper Threading, only the new P4's will have it. I believe when the 3GHz Northwood is released...

I'm not sure about the video card, my Radeon DDR handles it fine. The biggest advice for you I have is the system memory. I had 256MB, and the game would pause for short bursts during fighting scenes while the HD was running. I recently upgraded to more memory, no it runs as smooth as silk...
