Ryan closed videl's thread so i decided to re-open 😉


Much appreciated :)
 
I can't get my wireless adapter to work with win 7 64bit.... I knew i was going to hit a wall once I upgraged my OS.....

Works fine win XP pro, called Lynksys and they said"we are currently working on the Win 7 drivers".... The dam OS came out a few months ago!!!!

I guess I will have to order an adapter from Asus, until then there will be no Vantage scores 🙁
 
I agree, its pretty late in the game for them to not be updating drivers to 64bit. Bad linksys, bad! I finally said screw it and ran wires all over my house. I still have wifi for my laptop, but xboxes and dvr's and tv's and desktops are all wired. I know its not possible for everybody, I just got fed up with it:)
 


Im going to give that adapter one more shot, if it drops a single connection I will have to run a cat 5 all the way to my room....
 
the first time was through windows just for a quick run, i don't like doing it that way so i re-ran it after i re-clocked to 3.6 through bios

my cpu unlike other 550's seems to be really multi friendly, when i first got the cpu it ran like a charm at 3.8 with only upping the multi to x19

 


I had the CPU stable at 3.8GHz at one point, and the cards were clocked a little faster. But heat was my enemy. I find 3.6GHz the best compromise, and there is only really Stalker CS and Crysis that I can't max out at 19x12. I'll probably do a new gaming build some time this year, and then the current machine will become my productivity machine.
 
I don't think the 128mb bus is holding your system back, that card really does perform well regardless. I have seen dual 5770's get a better score than a single 5870 in Vantage and 06. The key is tweaking your components and making sure they are as stable as possible.
