    PC4200 and PC4300 in one PC?

    Thanks Sisq0kidd. So it will cost me a bit of performance? I've tried getting somewhere by googling but I can't really seem to find the exact difference..

    PC4200 and PC4300 in one PC?

    I currently have PC4300 DDR2 Memory in my rig, however I'm looking to add some ram. I thought I had ordered the PC4300 memory but the shop tells me they only have PC4200 and they told me it shouldn't be a problem to combine those two types. Which leaves me wondering if this is the case or...

    7900GTC Memory clock

    I'm running at 1280X1024, my 19" Dell flatpanel can't handle any higher resolutions, but Oblivion with everything maxed out, trees, grass viewing distance, HDR, (so no AA) gives me a good avarage between 40 and 60.. Depends on where you are dungeons better than outdoors ofcourse.. . And no I...

    7900GTC Memory clock

    lol :) 00Nvidia reporting for duty Yes ,it is running at stock speeds and I think Dell does indeed work with NVidia reference designs.. I haven't overclocked it yet, but from what I'm reading in the forums I should do so. The (giagantic) cooler should be able to handle the temperatures which...

    7900GTC Memory clock

    Hey people, This might be a very ignorant question.. I've got the Nvidia 700GTX card in my system, when I activate the coolbits tab, it lists my core clock at 650Mhz and my Memory Clock at 800Mhz The specs for the card are Core: 650 and Memory 1600Mhz Now the 800Mhz is half of the...

    3Dmark 06 scores.

    Hmm just got my new rig, Pentium D 3.0Ghz 2X2MB, 7900GTX, 1GB 533DDR2, no tweaking done: 3DMark = 5877 SM2.0 = 2616 HDR/SM3.0 = 2604 CPU = 1505 Not bad, but the CPU seems to be the one dragging things down, which I find a bit strange.. *edit, typo in the scores*

    Samsung to create 5ms LCDs?!?!

    I've recently purchased the Samsung 930BF, 19", 4MS.. There's no shimmering/ghosting or any other weird side effect so far.. All the games look razor shape, colours are fantastic.. And it's 4Ms already.. http://shopping.yahoo.com.au/b/a/ps_14509811/114401.html

    Need advice on Media PC

    Sorry for the late relpy mark, forgot to check back.. It's great for watching TV, zero problems, I haven't tried recording on it yet. I have been doing some video stuff, off a handheld cam connected through firewire which worked very well. All in all, the systems hasn't given me any issues with...

    Why I hate political parties.

    Well here in Europe or rather in my country (The Netherlands) we have as much as 15 different parties to vote on, which generally means they need to form a coalition in order to be able to form a government, which is not a bad thing as you get mixed view on policies or concencus. The downside is...

    Europe a good model for the U.S.?

    As a european, I think that as usual everyone argues their side of the fence.. I think both systems have their weaknesses.. Euope is standing at the craddle of a united government, but we're got a very logn way to go, before national govenrments will give up their rights to govern to a European...

    Hibernate Mode in Windows XP

    Well seems like Windows can't access the file it reserves for writing its hybernation cache data into. It is usually located on your system drive (C?) in the root. So either it's locked by another process, which would be weird, or you do not have enough space on your drive perhaps. Try turning...

    Just Curious..PC Building Question

    I never charge people anything, they usually surprise you with a little token of appreciation. But lately I've stopped doing it, for some reason once you've installed it, any problems after that, and I do mean ANY problems, are automatically your problem. Even if it's loads of spyware crap...

    Need advice on Media PC

    I might be calling the wrath of the board down over me :) But if you don't want to OC and just play some good games and work with your avarage apps, then I'd suggest getting a Dell. I have one as well, works great, zero hassle, fast results on games and you don't have to go through building the...

    Please help me debug this annoying 6800 Ultra Issue...

    I have roughly the same system that you do, well same card anyway (modded though) and my fast writes are on, haven't had any lockups.. The only thing that sometimes happens as at the start of a game (doom3/far cry) I get a minor hickup which is the initial texture loading when I first start move...

    WEIRD videocard problem. Help me decipher it! **UPDATED**

    Hey Neo, I think you might at least try to upgrade your drivers. The 66.93 drivers are good drivers to some and horrible to others.. I'd say try the 71.80 or 71.81 which are both reported to give good results and no problems. I myself use the 71.81 drivers for my Geforce card and they work...

    6800GTO / Far Cry issues

    Hey Snedger, the GTO denomination is not a standard Nvidia model, only Dell stocks these cards.. They are 6800 ultra's who either haven't made all the tests, hence the disabled pipes, or couldn't handle the higer clock speeds. Lately though Dell has had a bit of a shortage of parts it seems as...

    6800GTO / Far Cry issues

    Thanks everyone fot their contributions! I applies the patch (1.3), which was a bit of a drama.. :frown: As I hadn't installed it in the default dirctory. But by applying the /a option I was able to unpack it and copy it into the game dirs.. What a difference, I think those are the most amazing...

    6800GTO / Far Cry issues

    Hey releemhui, I thought of that as well, I reset them to 12/5 and ran the game again, no cure.. And I would have thought that doom3 would then have given me grief as well.. Being the tougher game on the card, but that runs like a dream..

    6800GTO / Far Cry issues

    I've just bought Far cry, installed it and hit play and waited to be impressed.. Which was not to be.. I get big black squares around things I've shot, when I pilot the vehicles, I got a big black square surrounding the vehicles as well.. When swimming I see blue see through blocks around...

    I unlocked my 6800, need help

    Maybe a weird question, but what exactly do these artifacts look like that appear when the card doesn't function after a mod? Just glitches on screen??

    What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

    Hey people, Just wanted to thank Knightbyte for his excellent pieces on how to unlock the GTO pipes etc.. Got my Dell yesterday, unlocked the pipes and shaders and ran 11952 3dmarks with it.. And that's without overclocking the card even :) Although my stats are a bit different, also Dell...
