    Oblivion Crashes......a lot

    I could never get my PowerColor X1900XT to overclock without losing stability. I guess it got to hot. So my Video cards out of that equation. I just set my CPU and ram back to stock timings. The video card seems to be fast enough for me. I bet i just got bad ram... never took off the heatsink...

    Oblivion Crashes......a lot

    Oblivion doesn't like overclocking at all. I have a AMD 64 3700+ @ 2.6 (from 2.2) and I got constant freezes and crashes in about the same time frame. I could go from 20 min to 1 1/2 before it would crash. I set my settings back to stock and it ran slightly smoother (odd I know) and it didn't...

    Cat 6.3's and 3DMark03 Bug?

    I don't believe it does, It fixes some sort of crash error with the X1800 series... are you taking about the Shader problem? if so isn't that because of the shader is a Nvidia specific Hardware shader?

    My 3700+ San Diego Overclock 2.6Ghz

    Well I ran SuperPi and got in order from 1M/8M... 1M- 34s, 2M- 1m 22s, 4M- 2m 56s, 8M- 6m 11s. What does superPi have to do with getting a higher OC? I thought it was meant more for stability?

    Antec SP2.0 500Watt good enough for a X1900XT?

    thats makes me feel so much better because I can't change my newegg order anymore. I am glad. Getting this and then a new AMD 64 3700+ to replace my OC'd 3000+ at 2.4 will be interesting.

    Antec SP2.0 500Watt good enough for a X1900XT?

    Will this be good enough for a X1900XT? Becuase if not this sucks since I just bought a PowerColor X1900XT and that PSU. But everything I read says a 450watt PSU that has a *Single 12v+ 30a line not two 12v+ rails... I hope this won't cause and problems.. It shouldn't should it?
