ah, I'm a n00b.

For Potential Rolling Line fixes: See the thread at Rage3D: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33672888 (sorry I couldn't get the link to work) :o I tried numerous things and so far only this has helped: Go into Display Properties --> Advanced --> Displays Then click on...

Thanks! I'll try what they said, I actually considered going to the DVI/DB-15 adaptor but it struck me as something that wouldn't do much, I'll try the fast writes too. It still is unclear if fastwrites help much right? Like by deactivating them I won't get crappy performance? Anyways thanks...

The title says it all, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my Radeon 9500 Pro and I thought I should check up on compatibility issues between the two. Neither Dell (the maker of my board) or intel (chipset) websites have anything concerning problems but I thought I should ask around in...

I would agree but I just checked out the ps itself and the sticker on it says its maximum power is 330w. On the Dell forums there are numerous threads that ask if the ps has the juice to run 9700/9800 cards and the answers are mostly yes. So I'm totally confused! Now I know quality is often...

What I would do is reinstall everything. Reformat the harddrive, reinstall windows, and get the newest drivers for everything along with Dx9. I found Dx9 helped my system alot with little glitches I had running the Radeon 9500 Pro with Cat 3.1 (Cat 3.0a and up like Dx8 and 9 but I found Dx9 to...

My monitor is too old for AGP8x, it's currently running at 4x with fast writes. I've tried all the different drivers, changing which connector the card uses (for power), as well as swapping monitors. Performance doesn't seem to be a problem rather it's something to do with the quality of signal...

Help meeeeeeeeee, I even sunk to using the Dell website troubleshooting guide and now there's disconnected scanners, speaker systems, printers and any other thing that conducts electricity (including my pencil sharpener) sitting outside the computer room. I'm rapidly losing my sanity!! How...

I installed my Radeon into a Dell 8100 and soon after I noticed some funny things going on. The problem is I have this weird "bubbly" oscilations on my monitor. They look kinda like what you get from EMI but I never had a problem with my old card in the same setup with the same monitor in the...

My 9500 Pro has fast writes enabled, but dislikes my PS (I think), I get weird visual glitches (not artifacing) but almost as if I have some source of EMR nearby. Maybe 9500 Pros are the rush job the were rumoured to be:frown:

My friend has a Centrino based Acer Travelmate 803-somthing that he absolutly loves, 15" screen, Pentium M @ 1.6Ghz (and it kills P4s at 2.2) and a 64 Mb Ati 9000, plus its pretty light. I must say it is one of the fastest and longest running laptops I've ever seen. If you want a portable...

Yes check the power supply. I have a Dell system with a 250w power supply, which is below spec for the Radeon 9500 Pro, I thought with only one optical drive, one harddrive and minimal PCI cards I'd be ok. WRONG! My Radeon behaves weirdly; it runs slower than on other equal systems (and by slow...

So should I use thermal grease even if I'm going to run it at stock speeds? Also I'm operating on the assumption the packaged coolers for the prescott will be similar in capabilities to the current P4 coolers, and since prescott will be at 90 nm it will likely run equal or better than current...

Cool, thanks. So for the most part these numbers will be controlled by the quality of Ram and how aggressive my timing settings are? I'll be putting them into either an 875 or 865 (when available) Intel mobo so I'm sure if they are bios options they will be properly explained in the manual...

I checked before I posted. I can't find any clear answers about what the numbers mean. All there is on crucial's site is explainations about DDR Speed, CAS options (which had no real anwer on real life impact of CAS 2 over 2.5, which is why I posted in the first place), and densities. If there...
