I'm running high quality 1024x768 very smoothly on the Doom 3 demo, no slowups or anything either. I'm gonna try using some AA later and see if it still runs smoothly, I know that the high quality setting in the game automatically has AF (I think 8x I can't rememer) so I want to see if I could...
I have the same problem, I'd had it for a very long time then reformatted and got a new mobo and stuff and it just never happened, but recently it has again. Some .exe files when I download them, not even open them, my computer instantly starts going very slowly, which is annoying because it...
I have the newest ATi Catalyst drivers and newest Multimedia Center. I tried to record my first VHS tonight, only to realize after a while that the Macrovision protection wouldn't let me record, and just watching it wouldn't work because it would just play a few frames then repeat them over and...
Sounds nice to me, SLI Nforce 4, Athlon 64 3500+ (make sure it's the 90nm Winchester core they're cooler and very nice overclockers, but even if u don't wann OC it's better cause it runs much cooler) and the RAM looks nice but who's the manufacturer? HDD looks good, video card best you can get...
Forget the modding ithe 9800xt isn't much faster plus you have to know what you're doing and you're always taking a risk when you overclock or mod. Get the 9800 pro it's faster than a 9600xt, but I also suggest you take a look at the Nvidea 6600GT AGP. It's a very fast card, it's still $200 like...
Well the only way I could see is you rip the DVD to NTCS and then burn it, but that's technically illegal and if you ripped it you would have the movie but not the menu and probably not special features or anything (at least I don't think you can do that).
I wouldn't do it, why overclock you have an blazing fast system (even your sig says so). You really don't need to overclock I would just leave it alone.
One of the IRiver models supports the SRS WOW Effect, I don't know if anyone here has heard it but I love it it's amazing, I'm just mad there's no way to put a filter on my mp3's or something so I can have it on my CD player (I just burn MP3 discs I don't have an MP3 player).
You're going to see a huge performance difference in CPU intensive games going from a Celeron to Athlon 64. And make sure you get the 90nm 3500+ (Winchester core) it's much cooler and if you wanted to overclock one day it would be awesome for it.
If I were you I wouldn't spend all that money on a 4000+, I would get a 3500+ 90nm (Winchester core) and if you wanted to later you could overclock, but as of right now you won't need to because it will handle all the games perfectly.
Ok I was just thinking about that. That'll be a pain to keep adjusting but I guess I will cause now I can run HL2 at 1280x960 with my 1GB of RAM, and 4xAA/8xAF it's great.
I have a 17 inch CRT monitor (flatscreen) that can go up to 1280x1024, with 1024x768 as its native resolution. I run at 75Hz. when I use a resolution such as 1152x864 or 1280x960 it doesn't look right, it doesn't fill the whole screen and the sides are curved, so it looks almost like it's in a...
My 9800 pro is running 1024x768 high settings with 4x AA 4x AF (I'm gonna try raising them soon) and it used to be choppy a lot and take long to load stuff but then I went from 512MB to 1GB of RAM and now it's perfectly smoorth even from the start, even with just a 2.2ghz P4. So maybe upgrading...
Wouldn't be the psu seeing as other games are fine you said, plus it's an Antec 400w so you can rule that out. And I'm guessing he plugged it in right because again he said it works in other games. Driver conflict with the game? Not sure.
I don't think it actually matters if you're an ATi or Nvidia person here, the 9600 pro is better than a 5600. A 5600 Ultra maybe would be a wash, but I would go for the 9600 pro.
