I have no idea how to oc a gfx card and not even pretty sure how to oc a processor without asking someone if it's safe, a friend built my last computer and he gave me the specs.

What does it mean if it says the RAM has:

16X64 or 32X64 orginazation?

16X8 RAM type?

Do they mean speed? What's the best type?

billyboysport

Hey, I didn't make any of the computers, I just gave the parts to someone, told him to overclock and that's what I get so no need to blame. If you don't have anything good to say, then just shut your mouth.

billyboysport

I'm going to build a DDR system myself since I didn't get the right parts I want and waiting for Palomino to come out. Anyone know if it'll have locked multipliers and unable to be OC'ed?

Check out this case @ www.vaopchill.com - People have been OC'ing 1.33GHz Athlons to 2 GHz without any extra ...

For $500, get something that's Trinitron or Diamondtron. Diamondtron and Trinitron are essentially the same thing, just Trinitron uses one thicker horizontal line and Diamondtron uses two thinner horizontal lines. A good Diamontron is a 19" from Sceptre, out real soon and will cost between $350-400 ...

What's the FASTEST IDE Hard Drive that's around 20-30GB out there in the market? What's the difference between UDMA/100 and UATA/100 or are they the same thing? I was looking at the Quantum Fireball series, what's the fastest in the IDE series, the Fireball AS or the lc10 & 20 or one of the other ...

Anyone know a benchmark that gives you your speeds on your processor, your RAM, FSB, gfx core, gfx RAM, etc. and another program that optimizes all your driver settings and all that?

billyboysport

The subject is pretty much self-explainatory.

Static. How should I set up a network game for ut?

billyboysport

Just a game on a LAN, and it's on a hub with no broadband connection through it and the IP should be static.

billyboysport

How do you exactly set up a network game? It worked before I reformatted my drive. I selected optimize for lan, said I have a LAN connection under preferences, and then dedicated and I think I just started a game and the other computer joined in after it saw me under LAN Servers. But now, it doesn't ...

What are really good, fairly large speakers under $30 that give awesome performance?

billyboysport

A few quick questions. If a motherboard supports DDR, does it mean it could support any type of DDR SDRAM no matter what the speed in MHz is? For example, a new speed like 400MHz is acheived using DDR SDRAM, will the motherboard be able to support it and will it use the RAM @ 400MHz or will it not ...

billyboysport

So from a helpful person, I now know that floppy drives write floppies at around 35K, anyone know the write speeds?

Anyone also know what the read and write speeds of a LS-120 drive are for FLOPPIES, not LS-120 disks but reg. floppies?

billyboysport

So what motherboard do you suggest me getting?

Can the ABIT KT7A support PC2100 Latency-2 266MHz DDR SDRAM at its FULL SPEED, or is it too slow to support 266MHz at the full speed it was intended for. Is it too slow to use 266MHz @ 266MHz or faster or does it partly utilize PC2100 RAM and use it at part speed? I want to beef up my RAM with more ...

billyboysport

Anyone know the read and write speeds of the fastest floppy drive?

About the Radeon, I have a Radeon 64MB DDR and want to know, does it have a hardware mpeg-II decoder integrated in the card or is a PCI decoder card a waste of money?

billyboysport

Get a UMAX. Really cheap. You can get one for $99 and it can scan at 1600X1200 dpi and at 36-bit color. Or, you can get a better UMAX for fifty dollars more and can even better quality scans and if you have a firewire port, you can take advantage of it.

billyboysport

Or you can wait a few months for the very fast Palomino or the Morgan which will replace the Durons or just at least use the Mustang core under the Duron name. Then you can either get the T-bird by then, will be dirt cheap, like $100 or get the faster Palomino, kicking the PIV's @$$ in performance ...

I've got a friend to build my newest machine, so I won't be blamed if I break something and I have no experience ever building a computer from scratch. But, I want to reformat the drive and resetup my RAID drives. What is the best way ro RAID that gives the best performance? He set up his RAID with ...

billyboysport

Sceptre has very good CRT monitors at pretty low prices and have technology that is very similar to Sony's Triniton. Futura has very good and inexpensive CRT's but aren't a total flat screen, but is good enough for games, photo editing, etc. CTX is great too. I have all three monitors, the Sceptre ...

billyboysport

So the Radeon 64MD DDR and all the Radeon models have an integrated hardware decoder card?

billyboysport

I heard that Palimano and the Mustang Athlon chips are coming out. The specs for the Mustang are just tweaked a bit and have 1MB L2 cache. I heard that DDR SDRAM, even PC2100 at 266MHz provides only a slight increase. Sucky4u cy88, but I shouldn't say that because that happened to me... Like five ...

billyboysport

What are the speeds for the fastest LS-120 drive and the fastest floppy drive at reading floppies? With the Radeon 64MD DDR, does it have a hardware decoder card integrated in it or do I need to get a PCI hardware decoder card?

billyboysport

If I format two RAID hard drives, do I have to enable the RAID option again or what do I have to do if I reformat everything?

Do they use the same engine and hardware? Do they offer the same performance?

When I run some diagnostic checks with McAfee, it says that there's a device conflict. It says that my TCP/IP failed

What has better performance, the ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR or the GeForce2 64 MB DDR right now on Windows 98? What will have better performance, the ATI Radeon (same model) or the GeForce3? Will it be 64MB or higher?

billyboysport

I used to be able to play on my network, but now after a format on both computers, I can't find the other computer when he's hosting, why? We can share files and all that, but I can't see him when he hosts. Is there something wrong with the UT settings or the LAN settings? For the IPX/SPX, should I ...

Kinda obsessed with the anime triology, aren't you there? Well, go to the question I posted, it's basically the same question.

billyboysport

Which video card is a better deal, and I only have a choice of these two as I'm getting a customized one. A 64MB DDR Creative 3D Blaster GeForce2 GTS Ultra or a 32MB nVidia GeForce2 GTS with DDR? What exactly is the difference except that the GEForce 2 Ultra is over $230 more and is a bit quicker ...

billyboysport

That's real cute spellpump. Exactly how old are you? What I'd do is get your lazy ass off the chair, go get a real job, and buy a dumbass Celeron which is one of the gayest processors now instead of whining to your daddy. You need a cap busted in your ass and stop talking sh** about your dad. You ...

billyboysport

No, I'm a newbie at overclocking. So do I just download something like CPU Cool and use it to optimize my motherboard? How do I set the motherboard to overclock manually?

billyboysport

So do you suggest me getting a computer with ATA/66 or one that's more expensive but has the same specs but ATA/100?

billyboysport

Is there anything faster than ATA/66 on a normal basis? Like something like ATA/100

billyboysport

Okay, I've been to some overclocking sites but how exactly do you overclock your motherboard and processor? Do you do it with software or have to do it by going through your hardware?

billyboysport

So KT7A, and not the KT7 is the only motherboard that can support DDR SDRAM? Can the KT7 support DDR SDRAM?

billyboysport

T-Bird is an improved Athlon. Athlons are faster than PIII's in bare clock speed, Duron's are a lot faster than the crappy Celeron. Get an AMD. AMD processors have 3D-Now that allow for more effective calculations concerning graphics. Personally, go with a Duron as they have lag a bit behind the ...
