Bottlenecking is a pretty big deal.
Your not getting the full potential out of your expensive hardware, so you might as well buy cheap stuff?
and no, your not getting bottlenecked.
I've found a few people with Marvell Gigabit LAN, on asus boards have the same problem as me.
I have the gigabyte GA-k8nsnxp
When i first instaled everything, the gigabit lan worked fine.
I then decided to get two SATA for a raid, so i formatted everything, put new drives in. Gigabit...
First of all, That will obviously return stuff for displays, and it does.
Not progs, I've looked through a few progs, I use motherboard monitor already.
But I figured there might be an easier way, back to google i suppose.
Its not just the fact that an 2000 3d mark score, 5% is higher, then 5% of a 5000 base score.
But the old cards and games, didnt require the full agp8x anyway.
New ones can take a big hit with only 4x.
I've been answering some questions lately, so i thought i'd ask this.
I just got a 5900xt 128mb, a few weeks ago.
Is there a way to check the temp on it? a prog that is.
He should upgrade ram first, reguardless of if he games or not.
athlon xp is still dirt cheap.
I seriously doubt a geforce 2 will do much good in half life 2
4200ti is a great card.
Very cheap now too.
Mine can run CS:S with no aa/af at 30 FPS.
1. ram
2. video card
3. mobo/cpu.
or
Just get a credit card, charge a new computer, and pay it off like me. wooohoo
Make it an option.
First you gotta test to see if its software, borrow someones HDD swap yours and his out, see if it happens.
If it does, your in bad shape. Could be any number of things interference on the line from a bad cap, sound card might just be fried.
Argh, people are so wrong about agp8x, on new cards, and new games, agp4x is a big bottleneck
all the reviews are for old cards who didnt need the bandwitdh, and old games who didnt need the bandwitdh.
I lose 8fps, from 50, on CS:S when i turn 8x to 4x.
Thats about 16% decrease
Nex, with out getting a watt meter, which isnt cheap.
Theres no real way to tell how much power your pulling.
But I'll guestimate, at full load your computer would wanna pull 280-300 watts. While you can only supply 220, assuming PSU worked perfect, which it doesnt, so your probaly supplying...
Link, I would laugh, because its more then a year old, and when it came out i had a blast, trying to blast, blaster.
As for nvidia, they make the best drives on the market, and he wasnt reffering to the cards, he said drivers in general, including nforce chip sets.
Thats ignorant, anyone...
