    Radeon 7500 or 9000...?

    How are prices of Radeon 8500LE? I've noticed that prices have plummeted as vendors make way for the 9000 (Hey, it's newer & it has a higher number so it must be better). If it's in your price range then get it since it performs better than 9000Pro.

    radeon 7000 vs. 7200

    Radeon 7200 is better. Radeon 7000 ddr is 64-bit while 7200 sdr is 128-bit so memory bandwidth is the same. Radeon 7200 has a t&l unit & two texture units. Radeon 7000 has no t&l and only one texture unit.

    Best arrangement of drives?

    I have an UDMA66 hdd, a UDMA100 hdd & a dvd-rom. If I connect the 2 hdd on the same IDE channel, will the UDMA100 hdd be held back by the UDMA66 hdd? Or should i put the UDMA66 hdd with the dvd-rom drive?

    New Coppermines labled FC-PGA2, does not matter!

    Are you sure the PIII 1.13GHz is a coppermine? Intel sspec <A HREF="http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/details.asp?sSpec=SL5LT&ProcFam=25&PkgType=ALL&SysBusSpd=ALL&CorSpd=ALL" target="_new">SL5LT</A> & <A...

    TI4600 + P2 450 - Is this pointless?

    Well the cpu will be the bottleneck so you'll be holding back the Ti4600. The Ti4600 will increase the performance (maybe double or triple the frame rates?) but i suspect that a GF2 Ti will serve equally well at your current cpu speed.

    AGP aperature

    According to Rojak's bios op guide it should be 64MB or 128MB.

    AGP Compatibility question

    Just get a card (min. geforce2 ti) with 64Mb onboard RAM. It doesn't matter if you run it at AGP1x, 2x or 4x the preformance difference will be negligible between 4x & 1x since the textures will load onto the onboard RAM & the AGP bus won't even touch system RAM.

    weight of cooler

    I want to use a copper based cooler on an Asus slotket but those things weigh about 400g, not sure if the slotket will take it. Also how much power does a mobo fan connector deliver. Thanks.

    DVD on GF2MX400 64mb

    Is DMA on the dvd-rom enabled? I used to own a PII 350 & it ran powerdvd perfectly fine (if what edwpang says about the cyrix being equivalent to PII 400 is correct). And i had a much worse graphics card was than yours - a TNT2 M64.

    minimal video card for DVDs

    I used to have a PII 350, 128Mb RAM & TNT2 M64 & i could play dvds on Powerdvd 3.0 no problem.

    I too need help to choose

    Go for it, thats a good deal. The Matrox G400 performs similar to a TNT2 ultra.

    newest nvidia drivers slow

    23.11 gave me about 320 points increase in 3dmark2001 but in actual gameplay it was really jerky. When i turned on the comp the next day it locked up with these multiple colored stripes vertically down the screen. 23.11 was a disaster on my system.
