We took it to another part of the house, because the room we were in had a lot of stuff already hooked up. We plug in the power supply and hear a small pop. Not like a fire cracker, just kinda like a relay popping.

long story short, we think my power supply is fucked. going to take the damn thing over to geek squad and have them take a look at it.

Its not a matter of "fuck this company or that" its a matter of getting the best performance for your money. Looks like the tide is swinging back in favour of intel for a while anyway.

As i type this im on a pc with 2 gigs of ram, x800gto 2 with an amd 4400+x2 cpu i just built for my uncle. pretty nice system at that. happy:

Milla 03-07-2006 10:06 PM
I dont find the need for dual cores right now. But eventually i will. My mobo can handel the dual cores thank god.

I just need another gig of ram asap

fugging computer is locking up on me

cod2 will just freeze or just down at times

nothing major installed - drivers and games really - and wifi app

shuttle AN35-N Ultra
1 gig 2x512 Kingston DDR
Maxtor 40 gig HD
Western Digital 200gig secondary hd
Lite-on cd burner
amd mobile barton 2500+

could it be the hdd? i don't think it's the ram cuz i just rma'd it for soem new ones like a month or so ago

sometimes before the system freezes, i hear a spin up sound in my headphones - much like a cd is spinning up or somthing to that nature

kthnx

Isn't the new AMD family coming out soon ??... Will they not roll over the new Intel chips ?

Socket am2 is just an upgrade to ddr 2 for amd, performance wise i dunno if there will be much of a difference.

Akuma 03-08-2006 08:15 AM
Conroe is pretty sweet.

Too bad it's over half a year away and intel is still for fags. happy:




It's not like AMD is going to sit idly by and let goliath take the performance crown again, even if they have to pull an intel and release insanely overlocked processors that are unstable and run too hot.


Glad to see there is some competition in the market again.

Seen the nvidia reviews yesterday of the 7900gtx and gt, seem to be pretty good boards. Not phantom editions like that 512mb over priced pos either happy:

7900gtx or 1900xtx hm....

depends on which games you will be playing with it. ATi tends to do better with DX games, while nvidia is great in OpenGL.

Theres a big debate about that raging on some forums, seems now the only reason nvidia is faster in open gl is due to driver optomisations that are still enabled.

dont mean to be a dick but i am pretty sure that gerv knows this already among hundreds of other things about these cards we have no clue about happy:

geRV 03-10-2006 04:09 PM
Not much to know about the new 7900 series, far as ive read theyre the same as the 7800 series with a smaller core size and speedbumped ram and core clock speeds.

geRV 03-10-2006 06:06 PM
fx57 and quad sli 7900gtx benchmarks

F.E.A.R, 2560x1600, soft shadows enabled
47fps - 7900 GTX 512 Quad-SLi
26fps - X1900XTX Crossfire

Chronicles of Riddick, 2560x1600, 4xAA/8xAF
82.9fps - 7900 GTX 512 Quad-SLi
53.5fps - X1900XTX Crossfire

Doom3, 2560x1600, 4xAA/8xAF
108.9fps - 7900 GTX 512 Quad-SLi
84.0fps - X1900XTX Crossfire



Hardly what i would call impressive considering the price premium for quad sli, in the region of 25-30fps faster give or take. Nvidia are for some reason whoring this like its something special though. eek:

Hands on benchmarks

http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=3314&s=1

that dell renegade to me for some reason looks so cheaply put together.

Depends on how you mean by "look better".

In terms of smooth graphics then a pc with a decent graphics card running fsaa will appear a lot smoother than the xbox 360, even though the 360 has fsaa support it doesn't seem to be working too well in a lot of ts games. In terms of polygon counts then probably the 360 seeing as its a fixed platform and the games developers don't have to downscale polygon count for machines with lower specs like pc's.

gtboys34 03-13-2006 01:36 PM
ok ty

gtboys34 03-14-2006 08:17 PM
anyone know the depreciation values of video cards? State estimates and actual. I can't wait to get this 7800 when it drops down to like say $200-250 and then I'll snag one happy:

9mm BeRetTa 03-14-2006 08:44 PM
Why don't you just get a new 7800 right now for 300?

I assume you're talking about the Nvidia 7800gt? Might even be cheaper now, I bought mine for $300 back in November.

Im not paying a dime over 250 so that's why i said ill wait until it drops a little more. Im cheap, yeah i know happy: but i actually thought that the 7800 was a bit higher than that

I have the entire computer built, but the powersupply that I had ordered was DOA. I had to RMA it and they sent it to me yesterday, so it will be arriving tomorrow.

Must be annoying having a new system sitting there doing nothing but gathering dust over a week or so. hake:

Alls i need to know is how loud that gfx card is when you're playing a game for a while before i order it. Im seeing some people say its a hairdryer, and others saying its quiet. oOo: I know on bootup its loud as fuck for a few secs but spins down pretty fast.

Forte 03-16-2006 03:21 PM
I am home, and with the power supply they sent me. I go to hook it up to my mobo and the 24pin connector only has 20 pins on the one in the power supply..... wtf. is it still okay to use? It fits but there are still 4 open spaces on the mobo....
sorry if this is a noobish question, but I really dont want to short out my system.
