Hi Blain, Thanks for the link, I did read the article but you never know if the guy is saying it's a 9850 when it really is a 9800. That's why I said I'll look for the stamp. HeavyLoad looks like it'll do the trick too, thanks! You seem like you're probably pretty knowledgeable on this...

Thanks, I'll look for the B3. I know that this CPU problem may not affect me, but I'd still like to see this computer operate under load since it is such a good price. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe just get a game running on it?

I'm looking at buying a used computer for quite a good deal. It is an AMD Phenom x4 9850 2.5 ghz. I read that the Phenom when first released had stability issues but have since been fixed. The deal seems possibly too good to be true, so I want to bring with me a load testing software to...

Yeah

I'm looking at the 8800GT 512mb superclocked at $250 so I guess i'm pretty good there.

edit: looks like im going with the P5K and E6750

I'm putting together a new computer and need some advice on what videocard to get. I want something that matches the other components I'm planning on getting. I want a card thats of good value - not extremely expensive bleeding edge thats going to drop in price by $200 in the next month but also...

Sorry, thought I had replied to this forum after i figured it out I rememberd a friend that bought a computer a couple years ago with a radeon 9700 and a kt400 chipset i think? well anyway they turned out to be incompatible and he had to get the mobo changed, and they changed it to a...

Hey just wondering if anyone knows how to improve the vivo quality. mainly the video out quality on a ati 9600xt? The image my t.v. is getting looks washed out, blacks aren't very black, colors are dull and yet reds bleed a bit and are too bright. I tried playing with ati catalyst settings...

Could this be instability in the card due to overclocking? I have no experience with overclocking but maybe the previous owner overclocked it. How can I check to see if it is running at the correct speeds, or does it always run at the right speeds unless I have an overclocking application...

It just did it again, after the computer being on for a about 6 hours. Just nonchalantly browsing the web and bam. I tried turning the monitor on and off even tho mp3s stopped playing and the keyboard had stopped responding. When i turned it back on it said 30hz Out of range I'm...

iTWoRxbRo: Maybe your cpu is unstable at that speed, what does the bios say for temperature on cpu? Uncle Bob: Its not the monitor since the keyboard stops responding... Since buying a new enermax PSU it has only done it once, so maybe that one time wasn't related and now the problem is...

i'm not sure what you mean by default card setting.. i dont see one. However, AGP Write is Off AGP Read is On PCI Write is On PCI Read is On When i retest it changes AGP Write to On and then says do i want to reboot. I hit okay but it doesn't auto reboot, but after manually...

Windows XP Sp2 I'll research what HAL means thanks. k, it was set to uniprocessor.. any other ideas?

I'll start with my system specs: ATI Radeon 9600xt 128meg Asus A7VX8-X mobo 512mb ddr 400mhz ram <--- says in the bios it must be run at 333mhz or something? barton 2500+ just put in a new Enermax 350w P/S The problem: I thought this was due to my old crappy p/s Once in a while my...
