Have you tried disabling any dual channel options because it might be trying to run the DIMMs in dualchannel mode and not being able to, not totally sure about that, just a thought. Hope it helps.

I'm kinda in teh same boat as you ren.182, can't decide on whether to wait for the x1800 xl/xt or get a 7800gtx. The thing that most concerns me is the fact that the 7800gtx only comes with 256mb of ram and it seems that games are demanding more video ram all the time. Will keep an eye on this...

You might be waiting for the x1800 for a while because I think that ocuk have had alot of pre-orders.

A gig of ram would be a better upgrade compared with upgrading the cpu. Also if you wanted, you could use the onboard sound card until you can save up for the audigy, that way you could spend the money you would have spent on the sound card on the other 512mb stick of ram.

any chance you could tell us that the bsod says, might be able to find a solution without flashing the video card bios because I think that some of the programs that you use aren't the most reliable and you could end up buggering up the card.

I think (Not totally sure though) that this card is slightly better than a 6600GT. Will try and find some benchmarks though

Thanks for the info furiousV, much appreciated. Will give this a try once i get it all installed! Thanks again!

Ok cool thanks for the tip! Will have a look on there

So its pretty good then. It is a shame that you can't pick up as many games on linux as you can for windows systems. Just like to ask what the hardware support is like with the breezy badger, just wondering if its gonna like my wlan card..

Alot! And I think they are gonna be pretty rare because of the mass ordering of them for when they are first released. You could pre-order one but you might have to wait. Check out prices here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/X1800_Series.html They are normally pretty resonable and...

Yeh that would be great if your willing to lend a hand! Just recently started using linux, and would like to start using it more and get more familiar with it since its excellent to have on your CV, if you are able to say that you are confident in both windows operating systems and versions of...

Jesus christ, that is insane! Aren't female black widow spiders among the most deadly in teh world??!! EDIT: I used to be pretty scared of smallish spiders until I went to texas to stay with my cousin for a month. While i was there I came across a few bigish spiders, the signature spider, i...

Tesco is great for those 3am drunken snack stops on your way home from a night out!

I have heard of a rifle attachment that you use along with a special vest that is linked to a monitoring program on a pc that allows you to see who shot you and where it hit you. Not sure what its called though, but its quite sofisicated i think.

LOL thats pretty funny, i totally expected an ad or some crappy scheme that allows you to get a free ipod! Nice pic!

I would recommend that you got teh 6800gt or saved for the 7800gt as that would be a more future proof card if thats what you are looking for. The 7800gt is an excellent card for games jst now, and it will play games that come out in the near future alot better than a x800pro/x850pro even when...

I've never tried SuSE before, just Mandrake 10.1, Madriva 2005LE and FC4 and when I get home, I'll download the live Ubuntu 5.10 cd to give it a try. Hopefully it will have better hardware support compared with what i have tried before.

I'll download the live cd first, see what its like, but I need to sort out my partitions if i choose to dual boot this and xp

the gnome version of this looks pretty cool, might give it a try since i'm not too pleased with FC4. Been trying to get my wlan card working with ndiswrapper for weeks :(

I'm currently studying computer science and i do programming (java & perl), networking, low level hardware investigation, algorithms, data structures, operating systems, databases, some legal computer related issues like the data protection act etc, study the software development process ie...
