in agp, 7600GT>1650XT>7600GS

although review in PCIe, it gives u rough idea on the performance level of the cards. Improvise a bit lah...

@ray
NOt yet upgrade loh....
still thinking of it.... have to think twice whether is worth or not.....
coz my current card looks like cannot support DotA in 24 inch LCD even in medium setting

prescott around 3k RPM default

if its really hot, then higher liao

45C is good liao, using the northwood heatsink

btw, 1650 aint that great deal of an upgrade though ler.. even though on paper is 3 time the specs

We can expect a margin of 2-5% drop in benchmark as AGP has limited bandwidth.

AGP performance drop is due to the HIS chip that convert the PCIe slot to AGP slot. Not much performance drop, but kee an eyes for the temp. It rise fast.

@e_k1117
Are u using stock HSF? Ya temp seems to be ok on stock. But full load seems scary.. At least mine were 40'c on idle and 55'c on load with 3rd party cooling. Just sold it weeks ago, now rocking with Xigmatek Red Scorpion.

P/s: Oh yea... Edmin has invested on something BIG.

the card that kabuki has in hand right now, 7600GT DDR3 i played 1920x1200 Warcraft 3 no lag full settings on p4 3Ghz HT.

@fylon
act i never reach load temp before. it is just assumption only...

i using the TUNIQ TOWER 120. with the lowest speed fan......

act the tower too big for my casing that cause my side panel canot close....

he means he is using on his new Q6600 CPU. s775. he is waiting for his new crossbow kit, phewwitt....

Oops.... sorry. so he thought i also using 775 platform izit.....

s478 canot compare with 775 loh..

sory sory misunderstand.....

@e_k1117

@_@.. In which part LG775 cannot compare with S478? Hahah.. What if im using LG775 P4 pair with DDR ram and AGP Slot mobo?

Anyways, RS is one of the low price cooler but the performance is on par with TR TRUE.

@Edmin
Eh where is SLR shot for ur new rigs????

fylon, old kaki in s478. just trying 2 assist in this thread like me.

@fylon,
wait until i assemble my new *u know what* later la... hehehe

@fylon
sorry for my unclear words. i just mean the heat produce by s478 tech canot compare with s775 tech......

bro, can compare and match. 3Ghz s478 averagely TDP is 95W. s775 quad is around 95W - 105W.

@e_k1117
Can la kawan.. TDP is the main thing when comes to temp and heatsink. My Q6 TDP 95W and ur P4 3.0Ghz TDP is 89W (get to intel processor finder website to find the facts, too lazy to link it here ). In overall, P4 is dissipate less heat then Q6. But the reading will be vary depend on the processor surface and cooler. Bear in mind, most processor surface is not even one, there will sure have concave. The best way to make it even is to lap it.

Woo good dealer!

what do you mean?
are you trying to spam here?

@dlwl
Upgrading ur system?
P/s: Beginner is selling OEM quaddy for RM450. A good bargain there bro!
