If Crucial still sell the modules you are RMA'ing, then most likely they'll replace them with the same..
However I tried to RMA some Ballistix DDR1 500Mhz modules about a year ago.. since they didn't sell them anymore, they wanted to replace the 2 1GB 500Mhz modules with 2 400Mhz standard...
I'd wonder if anything over 1GB at this point is worth it. Do any of these users of these apps actually use textures? I thought most things were mostly wireframe or shaded?
Although I have been wrong before... ;)
If I'm not mistaken.. the 512MB/1GB/2GB of ram on a video card isn't counted towards system memory, and what a 32/64 bit OS "appoints" to applications... (unless of course it's shared.. but that's not what we're talking about here is it)..
Who am I? Look to the left...
You sure can voice any opinion you have!! And I reserve the right to point out that your opinion was completely rubbish..
Make myself look stupid? No.. that's what you did...
Thanks! I'm having a great weekend!
Justageek, you should've really stopped after your first comment...
ATI are bringing out FireGL cards based on the 2000 series GPU's.. (much like they have with nearly every other Radeon chip in the last 3-4 years)..
who or why someone would need it? I could see a lot of use for these...
I wouldn't bother buying a graphics card to do physics rendering... it's been announced but never released.. probably never will... and by the time it does, they'll probably say you'll need something better than a 2600XT..
326 on an Athlon64 X2 4600 + ATI X1600 Pro (WinXP)
2470 on an Athlon64 3500 + ATI HD2900XT (Vista 64-bit)
(oooh I beat all the 8800 series GPU's so far) :)
Even the slowest 3D card is very quick in 2D..
If you're just after 2D, then the HD2400 or lowest end Nvidia card would be fine (read: anything below $100)..
If you're after Vista Aero performance... look elsewhere... that's 3D and you'll need a decent 3D card for that..
If you're just posting the board, I don't see why the 1950 would be pulling it's max power anyway.. more likely a fraction of it...
You've probably fried something... either the video card or mainboard...
No beeps or anything?
I've been running a 2900XT in Vista 64-bit for a while now (got it about a week after it was released)... haven't had any major (or minor for that matter) problems with it..
Sounds like motherboard to me... but without another PCI-E card to verify you can't be sure if it's the video card or motherboard.. (Yes a PCI card will get it to work, but it's not exactly an apples-apples comparison)..
I'd suggest memory.. It's more likely his ram is defective than a defective 6150...
(and as for the "Onboard chips can develop problems. They are really cheaply made, and quality isn't terribly good on the things".. where the hell did you make that up from? Their quality is just as good as...
How about breaking off a pin from a SIPP module? (if you could find one)... that should be about the right size (and pretty tough)..
Just sounds like a pain to solder it on..
I'm not sure how you'd go about comparing a PC to a Mac (bit of an apples and oranges comparison)..
but at a guess I'd say the Core Duo 2.0Ghz would be slight ahead on the Pentium D...
Although the Core Duo isn't 64-bit either.. depends on what you want it for really..??
Set the UMA frame buffer to the lowest setting (if you're not using it.. and it'll probably deactivate anyway when you plug in a PCI graphics card... does Windows report the correct amount of RAM? If so, then it's disabled)..
AGP aperture size shouldn't make any difference, as you're running...
Sounds like maybe the video driver is forcing the video card into a resolution/refresh rate your monitor can't handle?? (maybe??)
Sorry can't be more of a help.. running a 2900XT here in Vista 64-bit and haven't had any problems :(
Is the 9250 detected correctly? I seem to recall that the 9250 uses an older driver than the X1950 Pro (ATI dropped support for it in the latest drivers).. That could possibly be why it's so slow? (Catalyst 6.11 looks like the latest driver with support for the 9250, whereas the X1950 Pro can...
You better tell ATI to update their page for the X1950 then:
Avivo? Video and Display Platform
* High performance programmable video processor
o Accelerated MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, WMV9, VC-1, and H.264 decoding and transcoding
Of course I'm sure it doesn't...
Can't find a comparison of the X1950 and the 2600XT at the moment.. but the HDDVD/Bluray playback and lower power consumption are two things that come to mind..
Neither of them help with 3d animation do they? (I'm sure they help with the pre-viz work in the editor, but as far as final rendering of the images is concerned, I don't think the video cards help at all..?)
Without knowing either the exact DirectX10 spec, or how to write drivers in Vista, I think you're getting the "DirectX 10 specification" and "Vista driver model" incorrectly mixed together..
I believe what the Inquirer was trying to say was, without the virtual graphics address space, the...
