BOO!!!! For me, I say powerstrip SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Seeing as u have an ATI card, I say u uninstall Powerstrip and install Rage3d Tweak. You can find it at www.rage3d.com. With 3d Tweak, there's a tab in the control panel that let's you control the clock speeds and you can save the settings. Just be...

Thanks guys. I guess all there is to do is to just wait.

Just curious of how well the G5 is. Can you guys lead me to some good "in-depth" reviews that compares the G5 to todays current processors? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys. Just wondering. I recently recieved an FIC AU11 (aka the ((% 8rda wannabe.) My previous mb was an msi kt3ultra (kt333.) I know that reformatting is the best thing to do, but I was too lazy to. I just replaced the mb, got rid of via drivers w/ driver cleaner, and installed the nforce...

Hmmm....... sdram. I'm predicting that your running your stuff on an ECS K7S5A Pro or whatever. Don't worry, your chip is good. It is suppose to run at 2.0ghz. It's only running at 1.991ghz because the k7s5a boards underclock a bit. Notice how your fsb is only at 132.74? 132.74x15=1.991. It's...

NeoZGeo, We didn't get a chance to set up an os on the comp yet. However, I do remember that as soon as we got in bios, and fiddled around it for a bit, I then checked the health status. I was kind of surprised to see it was already idleing anywhere from 46-48C. This was with no side panels on...

Thanks guys. Problem solved. jOjO316, you're right. We did try one stick of ram at the time. Still no boot. He returned his cheapo ram, and bought a pc3200 corsair (nothing special.) After that, boot up into the bios. That was stupid though. The generic pc3200 worked on different setups but it...

Thanks guys. The ram works fine, we tested that out. Thing is, we can't even get in the bios. No overclocking was done, and don't really want to do so until he gets better ram. The fan is being powered through the power supply. For the past couple hours, I've been trying to get a bios boot at...

Hi. For most of my time working on computers, I've always had to work with AMD's. Only Intel systems I got to work with so far were teh P3's and P2's (when they were still card socket.) One of my friends finally grabs a P4 system and it's my first to work on a P4 setup. Anyways, his system...

Sorry guys. I don't know much about overclocking nvidia cards. My friend just grabbed an Asylum ti4200 and he wants to overclock that sucker. What's a good program to overclock this ti4200?

If u have the necessary programs: Nero Burning Rom Winamp (Game) Unreal Tournament 2003 Powerdvd or Windows Media Player (to play mpeg file and such) If I'm not running Prime95 or memtest, I run all these programs at once. I use just the 'simulation' burning for the Nero program. I play some...

Do you have any kind of Norton program or anti-virus program running while you're running your games? If you do, then disable them and try running games. I know it's not your card, that's one hell of a card. It has to be software related.

Drivers. Old drivers. Try reformatting or get one of them 'driver clean up' software for the comp. Old drivers left behind from old Nvidia drivers may be your problem. It is somewhat of a common problem now.

Thanks for all of your responses. If none of you mind, I am going to use this thread as one of my 'sources.' It would seem that there are some very reliable sources in here. As for my thoughts, at first I thought the PR rating was all just a marketing gimmick at first until I purchased my own xp...

Hello there. I am doing some sort of a 'poll' right now for a paper I have to write. It's a topic related to AMD and Intel. If AMD had no PR rating, how would they then fair against arch-rival Intel? If AMD competed with raw mhz or ghz (i.e. being a simple 1.73ghz instead of a 2100+,) how would...
