check out this link http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1748 . I think it's great....but it's pricey that's y im sticking with amd for now and waiting for intel to go down.
gd or anyone for that matter with this mobo ~
How does an ati 9700 pro work on it ? I play all kinds of games... mainly counterstrike online, dugeon siege...hitman2 etc etc. I bought a 9500pro a while ago but returned it due to the walls in counterstrike maps constantly jittering back and...
I was following www.eVGA.com 's count down expecting there to be preorders on at least one type of fx.... but there was nothing! All they did was list the different models that would be available. What a marketing ploy. www.newegg.com says that they'll be carrying ultras on the 14th of this...
Snow...you mentioned getting an Xbox ?... please. I don't know it all about computer.... if I did I wouldn't be typing such a question.....and rather, I'd be helping others with their difficulties. Just help people in expressing an honest opinion that adds to the post for others who may...
I just turned on cs right now with the vsync option off. It's makeing the walls in the map jitter whenever I move. Funny...the same thing happened with my ati 9500pro....maybe vsync was on by default .... damn...and I returned it....curses. My geforce3 doesn't do the jitter as bad as the ati...
I reformatted and ran everything at stock speeds....i'm a bit late here...but just closing that up. Thx for the reply. Also....snowman...I did run vsync on with a tweak....i'm still at 60 fps
A new system it is about to become. I just ordered the works. Lian-Li modded case for my prometeia, Corsair XMS 333Mhz 2CAS 2-2-2-5 DDR, a 2500+ barton, an asus nforce 2 mobo (forgot the model number but it's the deluxe one for $150).....um...that's all for now....thinking of going new vid...
I say get tech support online lol... make your own computer with some help if you're not sure how to. You don't need to buy it at a computer store. Only upgrades need to be bought there. If you're considering making one yourself that will reap the best rewards :)
I bought an lcd. A KDS, response time < 25ms, contrast ratio 500:1.
What I wanted to use it for?
1) Gaming... in particular counterstrike and other 3d games (1st person or 3rd)
2) 2d stuff...no biggie... any lcd can handle that
My experience:
1) Counterstrike image quality sucked! I...
Ediot ~
Cough cough...sounds like the same crap I went through when I bought a Radeon 9500 Pro. I'd play Counterstrike and all the walls on the maps would jiggle back and forth reallly rapidly when ever I would move! I gave the card back to www.newegg.com. I think there's nothing you can do...
Just some questions:
1. Does anyone know of companies online other than www.hardwaregods.com and www.iceepc.com that modify cases for prometeia cooling systems ?
2. What's one of the main reasons a computer crashes other than heat when you overclock it. I'm running a prometeia cooling...
Know that www.iceepc.com sells the prometeia in a topless form just like hardware gods.... but icepc is better because:
1) I didn't have browser ordering trouble like I did with hardwaregods.net
2) They offer the white version instead of just the black. white = cheaper on your ... and...
Doh ~ I just checked out the celeron benchmarks in the areas of what interests me most (3d acceleration).... I'm sticking AMD. Best way to look at it....Intel's fastest processors are definitely on top but barely when comparing to AMD's fastest (in overall benchmarking). I'm looking at 3d...
It shall be fun ! :) I'm wondering if I should switch out all my athlon stuff and go pentium or celeron. I'm on a budget outside of the prometeia system. Going celeron would fit the bill and also going with a mobo that has a 533 FSB bus and maybe a decently priced dual channel DDR chipset for...
Sweet ~ Thanks for the info ! Prometeia it is then ! I was really debating whether to keep my 1800+ XP and buy a killer video card OR keep the cpu and my elsa gladiac 920 but find some other solution that would bring up my fps in 3d games. So in looking at all the benchmarks on the 9700 and...
Fellas, i'm thinking of going with prometeia also, but tell me if i'm wrong.... according to benchmarks from anand, toms and sharky, overclocking can boost your fps up big time ( http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030210/barton-14.html ). I'm a bit confused here. I thought when gaming...
I just recentely bought a new leadtek mobo with an nforce2 chipset. It has a coaxial out SPDIF interface. Is this interface only really going to come into use if I use windvd or powerdvd to play a movie ? I do have a home receiver to hook that connection up to, but I already have a Sigma...
Who's really behind all the noise! ati and nvidia people, here's a small laugh.
http://testingtesting321.hypermart.net/Nvidias%20new%20alliance.jpg
Can't wait till they add more chrome! :) I'll be waiting for my N31.... after nvidia opens up their memory bus to 256bits like I stated in...
Hey dopple,
I dont know if you realized it... but my main point was to forecast what nvidia might do. I used facts that everyone knows in order to make my assumption more tangible to the reader. Please show me evidence to back up your claims that are "hard facts". All my evidence can be dug...
As we know, nvidia for once in it's gpu cycle (that I can remember) is fashionably late. Why ? Well, the first logical answer that comes to mind is that they were preparing the consumer market for another small step up in gpu performance but were taken aback when ati came around to open...
I have no help to offer.... only advise...... to be worry free I'd focus on an nvidia based video card. That's that. I just purchased a 9500Pro from Newegg and ran into video trouble also. Lots of people seem to running just fine but in my case that's different. With Nvidia I have never once...
Where I can find solid unbiased facts concerning creative labs audigy 1 and nvidias soundstorm (nforce 2 audio) chipsets. I'd like websites please. I'm not looking for opinion, just black and white evidence. Benchmarks need NOT apply. Just need greater knowledge on this topic to put towards...
Edipis~Reks,
You're a life saver! I haven't read into the pipeline architecture yet....I got absorbed in the CPU cache section. This guy is great at drawing models for people to better understand a concept! Thank you VERY much!
Can anyone direct me to an informative site that digs into Intel and AMD's CPU architecture (mainly a site that can fill in the gap I have in understanding how pipeline structure in AMD processors makes their CPU's compete with Intel CPUs that are clocked higher. PLEASE...I don't want any...

On that link Leadtek is saying their bios is going to support up to an Athlon 3000+. Are there 3000's out that i'm not aware of? ... not that I know of...and how does a company claim it can support a processor that's not even...
Serp ~
I play CS almost everyday. Guys in there are sporting just 4200's (dont know if they're overclocked) but either way they say they're getting up to 100 fps in CS! I think my Geforce3 is capable of the same according to "what's on the paper" but I'm constantly stuck at 59-60 fps when I...
If you go with a RAM manufacturer make sure they have a warranty that they back up! I went with Micron and they screwed me....more like I should have read the fine print. But only certain modules will they service if they go bad. I went Kingston and will always go Kingston as long as they...
Just not my luck ~ I spent several hours getting my system ready with a new hdd ... formating... installing windows.... installing chipset drivers etc... The 9500Pro still glitches like before. Not as noticable... but close. Either time for a 4600 or the wait for the FX... I know for sure the...
