Does the sound insulation raise temperatures? I was thinking of doing that myself but I would rather not if they do so significantly.

Of course. They aren't XT drivers, but Catalyst drivers (3.8), so of course they do all Radeons.

Ditto. Plus, this thing will cost $100+ more than the Pro at this point, and as such is not worth it. Your choice, I guess...

Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Run it and it'll delete any spyware that you have on that computer of yours. And make sure Kazaa is closed, of course.

Assuming constant clock speed, the one with the higher FSB is always better.

Whether your giving the computer to your mom or not...She is going to be the only non-gaming woman in the world with a 9800 pro, guaranteed...:eek:...

There's an effective upgrade :dozey: :eek: ... Rig Name: FIRSTCOMPUTER CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2000MHz @ 2000MHz Motherboard: Asus A7V333 Memory: 512 MB of Samsung DDR2700 333mhz Video Card: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Built By ATI) Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 40.0 GB @ 7200 RPMS...

It has fewer shaders, but that just works against performance, not features. You will be just fine, don't worry, the game shouldn't look any better on any other fully compliant DX9 card save for differences aloud by performance.

Well, the 9800 would be an upgrade (I dunno about the previous guy), but upgrading to a 9600 pro is wholly uneeded. Save for at least a 9800/9800 pro or even the upcoming 9800 XT if you want any real performance increases.

Hopefully while grounded?:eek:

Nah, I believe it's only 9500 and up.

For all you people out there, with a 2400+ and ti4400, I used to get around 11k, and with an Athlon 1.3 ghz with the ti4400 (now secondary system), I get ~7500. His scores ARE low. And 3DMark03 is the gfx-dependent one...01, while gfx dependent, relies more on the CPU, etc., than 03.

Well, your not online, but yes, you can connect the power supply connection to the ATI cable and the other end of the cable to a Hard Drive, or you can just directly connect the ATI card to that extra connector on the hard drive power cable you mentioned, assuming it is the same size...

Just leave it as is. Generally, all graphics quality settings (texture preference, mipmap level) should be left at high, Wait for VSync should be on unless benchmarking, and TruForm may as well be application preference. AA smooths out the edges of models so you don't get those "jaggys", or...

Basically, yes. And besides that, the 256MB 9600 Pro is not worth it...Go with the 128. It isn't fast enough to really take advantage of the extra memory, and in some cases it may be slower as it is more memory to manage (at least this was the case in some instances on the 9800 pro, and since...

You may run the game, but not at great detail levels. Maybe 800x600 or 1024x768 with lower detail levels.

The stock drivers will not do overclocking, you will need to get something like the rage3d tweak, and you would overclock core/mem a little bit at a time and test stability (run 3dMark 03, for instance, and watch for artifacts, or other graphical problems)...But, in any case, why in god's name...

9600 Pro, of if you can afford it the 9700 non pro. There is no question.

I have always been a Logitech fan. My MX500 is better than any othe corded optical mouse :)...
