While i dont know any specific ut demos, you can run them. To bring up the console use the tilde (~) if you dont already know. If you want to run a timedemo, type in: timedemo 1 demoplay (name of demo) that being the name of the demo press enter example: demoplay happy to see the avg fps...

I know many people who would dispute this, but I think the unreal engine is much better. The physics engine is more realistic, and i like the polygon structures on the unreal characters better. They are not as lanky, and dont run as goofy as the q3 engine. Plus, the texture structure appeal...

Hello, i am currently running the 2.2 version of my bios, and i want to upgrade to at least the 2.5 or even the overclocker beta of the bios. However, whenever i try using the LiveBios program, Internet explorer connects then says "Your motherboard doesn't support BIOS auto-update...

Thanks alot guys. Ill check it out.

In the anandtech article (http://www2.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1335&p=2), they say "Besides the FSB and multiplier settings, you can also adjust the CPU core voltage between 1.500 ? 1.850Volts in 0.025Volts increments.". Ive got mine at 1.775, i think. What is the perk about...

Hello, i looked at the adaptec website, and it didnt really give me any help. I want to surpass this inspection, but i heard that i cannot. Is this true? if not, tell me how please? this is the adaptec faq...

Nevermind, i turned of the vsync, but that didnt have any effect, but the aa did. I turned it off and at these settings: 640X480 color depth 16bit vertex lighting low detail tex detail low tex quality = default and tex filter bilinear and i got 132 fps. Thanks alot mitaiwan!:cool:

I was thinking taht could be a possibility (the aa) but i wasnt sure how much it would affect the fps. Ill turn it off thanks! Oh yea, i dont know what vsync is.

I keep having overlay problems with windows me. When i open ie, 1out of 5 times, there are streaks across my screen. I didnt have this problem with Win98se, but only with WinMe. However with this vidcard, i have overlay issues when i run wintv at 32bit color, so i have to turn it down to 16...

Im quite perplexed. Every hardware review i see that has ut and q3 framerate tests, the q3 is marginally higher. However, when i run the q3 timedemo, at the lowest setting at 640X480, i still only get 67fps max, as opposed to the test anandtech did with the geforce2mx of 117 on an athlon 750...

Hi, well, my cpu and case temp lowers when i have the case off because my circulation isnt the greattest when i have the fase on, case on, or both. However, for you, it sounds like you have enough circulation that when you have the case on, it creates more pressure to pull cooler air in and...

cool, thx

oh yea, what i find funny about these mobos is that they say 133, but the default is 100 fsb... and its tough to get it oc'd past 105... so, whats the point? im not sure... tell me

If you go to your "advanced chipset" in your bios, and set it to auto, it should put it up to 133... assuming your ram is 133. From there, you should be able to see on fuzzy logic

I have a 1ghz tbird as well. I know that pink stuff you're talking about exactly. I ran some 3dmarks tests on my comp (got a 4600 oc'd, but not vidcard oc'd) before i got a new thermal compound, and the pink stuff did pretty well. I oc'd up to 1122 with 11 x 102, and my cpu heat was...
