    Summing up the HUGE viral marketing thread

    As u folks can see, I joined a long time ago but have not contributed much to the forums. This is purely because when I made a few posts, what I realised that the fanboys will never allow any rational discussion on these forums. So I just decided to take a backseat and avoid headaches over this...

    6600GT (agp) or 9800Pro

    I'm running a 6600 gt with 1 GHZ ram (stock) on a cheap 300W PSU with just 14A on the 12v rail. Other than that, I have 4 256 MB modules, a SATA drive, an optical drive, an NIC and a Sound Blaster Audigy running on this sucker. The required ratings on most sites for Vid cards are "Play it...

    farcry glitches on 6600gt

    Well, I turned up the settings to Very High and 1152X864 and I must say it looked great but all the indoors which I remember are supposed to be dark are extremely bright and shiny and the grass appears to be black in some areas. I initially turned down the detail to medium but to no avail...

    same ole problem

    agreed. Thats why I also posted my doom3 scores, it hasnt even doubled! What I am really trying to avoid is a fresh install of the OS, coz I am sure its some sort of driver problem. Anyone else?

    same ole problem

    OK guys, I know u folks r sick of this question asked again and again, and personally even I dont read threads with such titles but I "think" I did things right while switching vid cards. 1. Uninstall drivers from control panel. 2. Restart and in safe mode, run driver cleaner. 3. Replace...

    Fx5200 OR geforce3 TI???

    where in pakistan r u hatim? I'm sure you could have gotten a gf4 ti 4200 128mb agp 8x for the same price, which is a good upgrade considering you had a gf3 ti 200. If you havent traded yet, dont do it and look around a bit. If you have, (sigh) then get rid of the 5200 while you CAN get a price...

    DDR400 CL 3.0 lead over DDR333 CL 2.5

    Hey fellas! I was wondering what kind of performance gain I can expect from a move to kingston value DDR 400 CL 3.0 (currently using 333). I am planning to put it in an Asus P4P800 along with a 2.4C and also plan on enabling Hyper Path (Asus's PAT). I hope there are no issues with Kingston and...

    worrisome temperatures!?

    Hi all! I am running an intel d865perl with a 2.4C. I have installed the intel active monitor and every time I played games, temperature on system zone 2 went beyond 50 Centigrade which is the threshold value. So I turned up the threshold value to 60 Centigrade and now, the temperature doesnt go...

    which platform's better for OCing vid cards?

    I recently upgraded from a 1hgz athlon thunderbird on a gigabyte 7ZX with a 235W power supply to a P4 2.4C on an intel d865perl with a 350W power supply. My vid card is a chaintech GF4 TI 4200 128 MB, and previously, I had comfortably OCed it to around 275/500 without any problems running 3dmark...

    Need help tweaking Vice City on my setup.

    Hey Naruto, what overclocking utility are you using? Powerstrip allows only 539 mhz for memory?

    800 vs 533 fsb

    Hi all!! I checked out some benches here at Anand's and atleast for my use (gaming mostly), I think the performance enhancement is negligible between 533 and 800 fsb. Is the price premium really worth it. And what ram is the 533 fsb processor coupled with best, 266/333/400 ? I guess if I do get...

    either chaintech cheated or powerstrip is blind!!

    Thanks viper96720, but I have already oced ram with powerstrip. One more thing, I noticed that the max powerstrip allows me for ram is 539 mhz which even though I havent hit yet, what other software can I use with my 41.09 dets in case I get lucky and get past that 539 mark? Links would be...

    either chaintech cheated or powerstrip is blind!!

    Hey fellas! I am running a Chaintech GT20 ti 4200 128 MB on 1ghz athlon, and as you might have guessed, I never tried overclocking it as the cpu is the major bottleneck. As of recently, I am hoping to upgrade to a P4 2.4 ghz and thought maybe I should ytry and see how far will this chip allow to...
