    Can you hack a BIOS?

    Im wondering about the same thing last night. I need to mod the MSI 6337LE5 bios to allow me to select Vcore higher than 1.7v for my Tualeron to reach 1.6G fully stable. I had done the pin wrapping trick but somehow the MSI bios is able to deter me from selecting the higher than 1.7v by refusing...

    Elsa video cards?

    I was asking the same question before someone enlighten me with this linkage. Elsa Taiwanese I think ELSA.com is gone for good but it still kept drivers update for the rest of the world.

    creating a driver to fix all this refresh rate crap so there will be noneed

    This is a small proggy written by one Hardocper and it works pretty well. No installation, just add the shortcut of the proggy to the startup folder. Linkified

    Geforce2 Ultra or Geforce4 MX 440?

    I think the GF4MX will edge out the GF2U if you have a really fast CPU. I got 4500marks with my T'bird 1GHz while others got 5800 on faster XP1800+. The vertex shader on GF4MX is a hybrid, so it's keep going faster if your CPU does the same.

    Doesn't nVidia (or anyone else) care about 2D anymore?

    I think I solved mine by disabling the nView in MSCONFIG. Btw, Im on GF4MX440 and lower resolution, 800x600.

    GeForce4 MX 440 - Need help for picture quality while using tv-out to play DVDs on my TV

    Most TV have 60Hz refresh rate. Forcing your TV to run at higher refresh rate may damage it unless ya got some of the latest TV from Samsung that has refresh rate at 100Hz.

    for some reason, even with the nvresfix for the 27.xx i still think its at 60hz

    << would just disable the V-sync but does that fix the refresh rate problem??? No, vsync has nothing to do with the monitor's refresh rate. >> Can you tell me what V-sync for??? I saw in almost every post and they mention turn off the V-sync.

    I would just disable the V-sync but does that fix the refresh rate problem??? I also found that Nvidia install nView by default for the 27.xx series drivers. I disable them is the msconfig and my games doesnt lag anymore.

    Siluro GF4 Killed my mobo!!

    I think the BE6-II is culprit. I had had it for a year before I tossed it for CUSL2-C. The board is quite troublesome, the Highpoint controller doesnt work the way it should, not to mention the poor IDE performance for it. Secondly the Slot 1 mechanism seems to have some problem with Intel EB...

    "shadowed" text on WinXP?

    sound more like ClearType. Btw, you can goto System>Advance and change these setting in the Performance tab.

    GeForce 4 mx 440 scores less than my asus v7100 mx in 3dmark 2001?

    Mine score about 4661(325/485) on T'birddie 1G + 384MB ram. Im using 27.20 on WinXP. Pabster got 5559 with his P4 2G in his review for the MX440. May be he use the first edition instead of SE.

    Ok - how do the Radeon 8500 and GF3 Ti200 scale respectively

    Those deal only applicable for US and sometimes Canada. For us who lives outside the US, we have to pay for higher shipping and VAT.

    Ok - how do the Radeon 8500 and GF3 Ti200 scale respectively

    I think GF4MX440 is a bargain right now. It comes with 4ns ram, DVD capability, and some new features of the GF4Ti. Change the heatsink and add some ramsink, you will able to reach G3 Ti200 speed when its pair up with a fast cpu except for games that utilise the nFinite engine of course.

    GF4MX versus competitors like GF3 and Radeon

    Bozo, I think the problem lies within your board. Im running a Leadtek A170 DDR T now without any sort of problem and its on KT133A mobo. It pays to have a decent board. My 0.02
