    Looking at stretching out my 939 system.

    I paid today's equivalent of about $500US when that CPU came out, $80 is a bargain. Just bought the 6000+ for $200 roughly.

    Looking at stretching out my 939 system.

    I had a XP 3200+ went to a 4400+ massive difference. Just gone from the X2 4400+ to the X2 6000+ again a nice noticeable difference. But also went DDR2 at the same time. I can o/c my 4400+ to 2.5ghz per core no prob. You wil notice a difference on either the 4200 or 4400, they are both...

    Overclocking my X2 6000+

    Hi Anyone taken there 6000+ up to 3.2ghz? Im guessing its got to be acheivable on this CPU as AMD are bringing out the 6400+ at 3.2ghz with the same core technology. However I've read that the 6000+'s run hot. Well mine is stable 45-46c in a moderate but very wet summer here in the UK :-(...

    NTune and setting xAA xASF?

    You mean under NVidia Settings | Performance & Quality settings which is on the NVidia icon in the systray, lol... i've found it! Its not in the Control Panel at all though, NVidia or O/S. Everything back to former full glory!

    Funny! Looks like you might have a bit more to do, try setting AA and ASF! Your new eye candy will be even sweeter!

    Its all woe.... Vista x64 but is it software probs?

    I'll DL and install 3DMark tonight. I'll also try out another game or two. So long as I can get GRAW2 running, EQ2, PES6, CoH, then I will relax a little more about it. But GRAW is a favorite, so it was the first installed. I expected alot more, especially given my rig is pretty high end...

    Its all woe.... Vista x64 but is it software probs?

    CPU is 42c at "idle" Vid card has never overheated even on more aggressive settings. The glitches have gone however since I reset the BIOS and turned off agp fast writes as per my response above.

    Its all woe.... Vista x64 but is it software probs?

    Thx for the responses! Removed the AMD dual core optimiser Tried Gainward XpertTool - rubbish. It only allows me to o/c 50mhz. This card clocks comfortably to 550/700. I've taken it even further but those settings gave great performance in XP. Stock is 450/625. NTune allows me to clock...

    Its all woe.... Vista x64 but is it software probs?

    Hi Tonight I've rebuilt my rig with new mobo/cpu/memory and its now as its listed in my profile. Vista is clunky, however CPU/Mem tests are scoring 5.5 and 5.9 respectively. Graphix 5.0, but now even the Vista rating tool reboots the PC. No BSOD, nothing to go by. I took the utmost...

    Installing Vista Home Premium 64 OEM on a new build

    ... and hope for the best! I've just done the same. However had to buy a new mobo/cpu/mem as nuked my other last week. So 2nd install. It may not be what you expect, infact its kinda frustrating at first. If you have an AGP rig like mine, you could be in for all sorts of fun - of the...

    Looking for an MMORPG

    Eve is a very very good MMO, but..... maybe the style of play wanted is more D&D rather than SCI FI. If its a D&D style MMORPG you are after, then there is only one - Everquest 2. Its everything WoW should be, but doesnt have to pretend to be. Afterall its Everquest 2 not WoW, which has got...

    WOOT! Just ordered my X2 6000+ at o/c'ers.co.uk

    Well after a few posts, questions and lots of deliberation - For now I have ordered an X2 6000+ AM2. Reason really came down to cost and not wanting or needing to go PCI-e yet due to my more than capable Gainward Bliss GS 7800+ 512mb AGP card. So I was severly limited on mobo choice, and...

    Q6600 G0 stepping update from TankGuys

    Ok, they coming in at £195 delivered. Pricey when you take into account other variants and the AMD X6400+ thats due soon at about half the price. Ok its quad core, but do I concern myself with that right now?
