well..mine is a laptop version of P4

Code name- Willamette
Socket 478 mPGA
Core speed 1694.9MHz
DDR 133 256MB

So...am i qualified to be here?haha

What do u mean by fluctuate? U mean voltage drops when you stress your system? If so, get a better PSU, certainly will help.

fluctuate means that the voltage are not stable..goes up and down.as far as i know these is one the characteristics of Asus boards

Last time with this Enermax FMA i could reach up to 2.8ghz with my MSI mobo.all the voltages are on stock somemore

Aisey, banyak bling bling...

ever try 1:1? i think currently you are running at 4(cpu):5(ram). the ram cant keep up i think, have you try loosen the ram timing?

I ever encounter this issue with certain rig, voltage fluctuation during oc. It 'could' be caused by bad cap.

The identified bad cap was replaced and the system was rock stable again. Just my past experience.

Even the Abit boards for 865 flunctuates like mad
Have to do a droop mod to stabilize the voltage....

But from what i experience, p4p800x voltage flunctuate even on idle. i didnt go for extreme so just let it be.

Just obtained my x1950pro. SIGH MY CPU BOTTLENECK!

3dMark03 = 14908

Consider okloh.....
the 5K score I meantioned is with dual core, plus its C2D and not PD and Core Duo remember that XD

I noticed tomshardware score for 3dmark05 (1950pro, anthlon 3400+) was 8477 compared to your 7558 score =/

Guess your CPU is really bottlenecking it badly. But oh well, at least you'd be able to run some of the games in higher resolution as compared to the 7600GT.

Edit: Oh umm, does anyone know what's the speeds on the Sapphire & Powercolor X1950's?

hmm....is it the gc draw more power till decrease the stability for RAM? ever try increase vdimm or vcore?

Hi

I have a 478 rig (my specs below). Questions are 1) can this rig use Vista and 2) what graphics card should I upgrade to?

Thanks very much for your help.

P4 2.4B (Northwood) : ABIT BH7 (i845PE) : 1GB Mushkin PC2700 : MSI GeForce4 Ti 4200 : Imation 16x DVDR DL : Seagate Barracuda 80GB SATA : Thermaltake 420W : Dell 1704FPT

how much is ur budget? that's all that matters.
more $$$, more powerful gc.

My budget is around RM400 - 600. I hope to get Vista running with Aero.

Added on February 14, 2007, 5:28 pmSorry. Btw, I need an AGP GC. Not even sure whether anyone sells them anymore.

if it's agp, looking at ur budget, get a galaxy 7600gt. looks affordable to u + it support vista. my recommendation is get it from mika. he's a good seller. bought 2 gc from him.

ahaha your totally right dude,after changing to 1:1 i can run at 2520mhz already.later will go for 2.7Ghz and above but the thing is that with my old MSI mobo i was able to run 5:4 divider up to 2.8ghz no increasing of volts somemore

if you want to run vista with aero u definately have to change ur graphic card to one that at leasts supports SM3 etc for rm400-rm600 you could get a 7600GS or GT.get the former if you wanna save some cash

different mobo have different performance. try to push with 1:1, i think can up nearly 3GHz, RAM shouldnt be a big prob. good luck

Yeah, and need lots of luck too,

Happy oc-ing...
