shinjite,faster core and more RAM on your system should have a smoother experience than before.Anyway,you ES sample good in o/c or not? 3.43GHz i is the highest you can go ?

Nice to see ppl having ES proc. But if eg a 3GHz proc wants to acheive 3.5GHz i think it's preety easy.Just get a pair of good RAM sure you can do it.Meawhile,faster processing power does not differ in small applications but in gaming it will be having a lot of difference especially after o/c. FSP can increase a lot.

Agree,if comparing 2.4GHz with 3GHz.That's a lot of difference.You can totally feel that the system itself is smoother and faster a lot even you just having 512MB RAM with you.Faster clock more powerful in randering process.

If using 4GHz to to daily life work like excel,word,playing songs will be very fantastic.A 4GHz proc can easily handle them will just minor processing power.Meanwhile we can open up more apllications and play Carbon at the same time without feeling slow or lag.

Hehe,i can help you to do the favour. Lend me your 6800GS.

5900 was a good card last time.Can said quite high end already last time.The most high end one was 5950 ultra with 450/850 on the card by default if i am not mistaken.

If you have a good system like 3.xxGHz and above proc,you will be able to drive the 5900 card(o/c speed) to 6500 points in 3D mark 03. Indeed got quite number of people was flashing the 5900XT to the 5950ultra also. I did this before to 5900 ultra and 5950 ultra.Actually is not much difference but just the core and memory will be set to higher speed in default after flashing both image. Actually no need to flash them also can drive the display card speed to those level.

KahLoon,go ahead if you want to change your card to 7600GT.I support you here.Your system still be able to drive the 7600GT well.Compare to irangan's case,he was using X1950 PRO with his 3.4GHz proc. The most strongest card in AGP line,my opinion is the card still be able to run well in his system but due to our architecture is holding the card's performance a bit behind(Netburst).Yet we all know that if pur system compare to C2D which is no way to compare as their ICP for processor is 4 while S478 is 2 only.That's the overrall view about S478 and C2D.

kabukiawie,see your rig can goes up to 3.33GHz.Very good overclcoking result man. This has boosted a lot of power in your system there.P4P800-X can o/c about 1GHz more that should be very good as the vDimm there max only providing 2.68V.

Kahloon,when are you going to get your 7600GS ?

DDR2 and DDR3 just have difference on the bandwidth only. Higher speed of the RAM = more bandwidth. Getting more bandwidth on the video card can boost the gaming experience. To get DDR2 or DDR3 is depending on you already.For my opinion,the best is to get DDR3 for maximum gaming experience.

Willi also got S478 one,but it's rare.he Willi for S478 launch awhile only and then it started to launch the Northwood core already.

BOTAK_WAI,how come your system property there got stated overclock status = On and yet display the core code name also? Your Win XP is special version? I also got an antique which is also 1.7GHz but running on S423.

@rainingzero,the slowest P4 is 1.3GHz on S423.

Higher IPC makes the CPU works fater even in low frequency speed. Now new CPU comes with 4 IPC like C2D. Lower speed but do more works in the same time.

Oh,i don't know how to change it. A bit outdated,don't know got such thing also. To do this need other software ? T:

BOTAK_WAI,i try your link to set the system property.Well it really works,i think those OEM dealer like HP and Dell also using the .ini file like that inside the system 32 file there.I think my S423 even older than your S478,i bought it during September, 2001.

@pengster,irangan's RAM is BT chipset right?You are also using same mobo with kabukiawie?

KahLoon,why bother to get X850XT PE ?This card is an old architecture card and only support SM2.0 . 7600GT is way better than X850XT as it has SM3.0 . The X850XT card the same price with 7600GT ?

Er..yaya after i search on the internet really found that the x850xt PE is slightly better than 7600GT,but i guess that the 7600GT is better than x850xt PE after both card o/ced.

Yes if to compare the SM2.0,X850XT PE wins hand down. But come to SM3.0 definately 7600GT is the one. I strongly recommend you to get the 7600GT.Oh yeah the other shops in LYN there also don't have 7600GT ?

Not 7900GS but 7800GS. ATI cards seems like not overclock as well as Nvidia.

I just found on internet really there are 7900GS ,but this looks like the XFX has already face off its' 7900GS AGP.

The second link also stated there are 7950GT coming up.
