    Need advise Agp4x !!

    That wont work 2600xt. He has an AGP board with x4. that P4 1.8 even if he could use that card would be a HUGE bottle neck. he has an ^ year old platform. It will be hard to say if a fairly good agp card will work with such an outdated system. If you can find a 9600-9700 card still, they are...

    RAID 0 ....... is it worth it?

    well you must have something slowing your start up times to make two raptors in raid0 not feel like we are comparing a UGO and a LS7 corvet. we have 4 Northys running here all the same set up about i say about because they are all OCed. that a side . this pc a 2.4 @ 3.2 2raptors loads windows...

    Why are the Intel Northwood Chips worth more than.......

    the real thing to notice here is he is looking at 'b" chips in the add 533bus notice you wont find the fabled "c" (sold out)chips anymore. 800fsb and able to over clock like nothing intel has ever made since. the one that had more caps in the back will go 20-35% on air. If you look on the chips...

    gaming server question...

    the cost of the serve(PC) is nothing compared to the type of bandwidth you would need 8O 256 on one box, sounds like lag to me, one server one game, no lag, few servers can run 60 people without issues in games like BF2.

    OVER HEATING PLEASE HELP!!!

    you still need some kind of air to move threw the case. did you remove all fans from the case? if so that might be the trouble. try getting silent type fans of good quality run them low you wont hear them to much

    I think data security is overdone and overrated lately.

    lol ya the good raid with ddt. i run two rators just for games. if you look at all the things people do to get more speed etc. few give even a small gain in anything. if you have the 939 amd running and you go to the next 940 you might see a small gain in any apps but at a large cost. the gains...

    Is anyone running a system similar to this?

    i have used the case, built a system for my oldest son. good looking tower. the only thing that was a bit to do was the way the front 3x5 covers are made. they are a grill like metal and there is some small plastic bumps on the inside case that you will need to file down for cd/dvd to pass...

    RAID 0,5, or 6 for gaming?

    i use two raptors in raid O and i load almost first every time in BF2 sometimes i loads so fast that i can cap a flag before the next guy even gets to spawn :wink: i think a other point is sys mem 2 gigs so maps stay in mem, not sure but i noticed a great leap when i swaped it to 2gigs

    what the???

    its not the cpu its gpu, i have almost the same set up. a 9700pro@351corx324mem and a 2.4c@ 3.12, 2gigs xms corsair on a p4800 asus, 2raptors in raidO. test show no gain when the cpu is oced in gaming but a big jump in other apps. on the other hand the 10% oced 9700pro shows a bit better in...

    What this clicking noise I hear?

    if it is from the hd, you can tell by listening to it during write/read functions. it will get worse to the point is all it does is click and click. you might see lag during the clicks(like when loading large game maps) in the end you will get a none boot error/ nodrive. i had this happen to me...

    is the CPU overclocking Worth it ??...

    you might be better off oc'ing the vpu. cpu over clocking in games does little if anything to improve fram rates. one thing to remember over clocking the vpu you must watch the heat as it has less ability to rid its self of the heat, and could cause damage. i over clock my vpu for bf2 324@351...

    New computer locking up, no error codes. Help!!!

    not that it is a issue but sounds odd, chip set fan+54,434rpm? wow that is super sonic, if it is running at that speed. at that speed it would cavatate and no air would be moving at all. i would think that no bearing on earth could maintain that long. i would look in to this on the MB. check...
