    Is 512 DDR Ram overboard when rendering 3d graphics with 1.2 ghz athlon?

    Hi, I've just come late to this thread but thought I'd give my two cents worth. 3D/Graphics applications will use all the ram you can throw at them, especially stuff like 3D Studio Max. In work I've got a pathetic 256mb ram on a 1 gig Athlon, and a lot of the time I've got AutoCAD, 3D Studio...

    Windows 95 dial up adapter/cd rom problems

    << Storm27, You have probably already tried this, but go to the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Setup and try to uninstall all of the Dialup Metwork components, restart and try to install Dialup Networking again. >> Yep, tried that one. Problem is cause it won't recognise the...

    Bunch of hardware questions (palamino, raid, ddr2400)

    Hey HansHurt, I didn't really want to spend DOSH :) on a GF3, I'd rather keep my DOSH :) and stick with my GF2. Though I'll definately have a look into it. If it looks like a good idea though, I could spend the DOSH :) and get one. By the way, you guys couldn't tell me the difference between...

    Bunch of hardware questions (palamino, raid, ddr2400)

    Thanks for the help, you've certainly opened my eyes a bit, especially about the DDR2400. Why would getting a Geforce 3 be any better for 3D modelling than a Geforce 2 GTS ? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I thought all a graphics card would be good for in stuff like 3D Studio Max would...

    Bunch of hardware questions (palamino, raid, ddr2400)

    I want to build a screaming fast PC for my 3D modelling/Animation and don't mind spending quite a bit of dosh if it'll really speed up my rendering times. I'm not that fussed on games performance cause my current spec is easily fast enough already. Current : T/bird 900 (o/c 1030), Abit KT7...

    Best processor for 3D Studio Max

    Hopefully someone out there can help me make a choice of how to upgrade my PC. My current spec is Celeron 500, Soyo SY-6BA+III BX motherboard, 128mb PC100 SDRam, Creative Labs Geforce Annihilator Pro, 21GB IBM Hard Drive, SBlive, etc. I can successfully overclock my Celeron 500 to 586mhz and...
