Woah woah woah.. Just away for few hours and V6 is created! Still raymond be the boss! Good good.. Old dude!

Btw.. 4GB for torrenting? Is a big waste man!! If the 4GB given to Edmin.. Cant imagine how he gonna torture his rig again!

@edmin
Haha.. Pity i my mobo dont have slot already. Oh yea.. Kinda waste 4GB on P4. How was everyone? Lol..

@sang_karim
Hm.. If need a user friendly type of software to make partition. U may can have try on norton partition magic. It does a good job thou.

@sHawTY
Lol.. Did u see any other old school which can survive up to 6 thread?

@barry80
Dude.. Thats is not little upgrade eh. Cooler, PSU, add ram, 690 casing! One of our fav case in this thread. Nice upgrade bro! Seems like old school still been treating good.

@Ezonizs, ac_N1 & sniperz11
Old school spirit still rocking @ss man!

@kabukiawie
GC modding again? Btw.. Sang's 96PRO ram only run at 200. Dont it think can been flash to XT thou. 100mhz pump is away too much. But heck.. My previous old 98PRO was a gem.. No sweat from PRO spec flash to XT and able to push up until 800mhz memory & 500mhz for core.

@kabukiawie
Lol.. Now changing to GC topics again? Ya socket A also on OC mode? Really hardcore.. All ur rigs been OC.

@Ray
Ic.. Hm.. Not really know about ATI stuff eventhough i had use it for past a year. Btw, i never use software OC for my previous 9550 and 9800. I used to used soft modded by dump the original bios of the card then mod it and reflash it back again. Play safe without flashing in other card bios in.

Just finished 3 C&C 3 NOD mission. Gosh.. Now then i feel the pain of gaming at high resolution. Currently run C&C at 1280*1024 full high resolution. Feel the pain when whole bunch of army and car rush at a time. Need some powderful GC now..

@raymond5105
Yea.. But provided u owned at PCI card on hand 1st. Otherwise, never try this trick or else ur card will end with wrong bios been flashed.

@edministrator
Blink flash? Meaning flashing the card without the monitor? Thats what i can think off. Mind explain it?

@Kabu
Lol.. All got OC. Not bad lo.. But rarely too see Socket A user around now. P4 still strong yet Socket seems like disappear already.

@raymond5105
Lol.. No la! This will be the last upgrade already.. Unless can find 79GS with RM200 then upgrade again. But that will be in dream lo..

@edministrator
Ic.. Thanks for telling me about. Learning something new again. Ic.. still thought can get a good fps when gaming with 76GT & 2GB of ram. Who knows.. Gotta clock more!!

After changed all the thermal paste and rearrange my cable and then plus in some DIY fan. My GC temp drop by 2'c.. Is now run cooler then my procs. My cooler lacking of high cfm now.. Temp on idle @ 3.68'c around 41-43'c..

@KahLooN
Wanna let go ur X1950PRO to ray? I guess ray gonna get crazy if u sell it to him. Haha..

@raymond5105
Dont think in another 2 years time 79GS will drop and hit RM200 price thou. Until now.. A normal entry level 9550 also cost around 150 lo.. Haha!

@KahLooN
Haha.. Delta fan? Gosh! That is a kill man. Cant tahan for the noise. Ever saw my cousin use it on XP90 with fan control and run full speed! Phew.. The sounds is killing. But nice performance.

@Redundant
Owh? Then ya DDR400 only run at DDR333. Abit waste. Btw, make sure ur ram can cap the CL2. Normally VR are clocked to hold CL3 or CL2.5 thou. CL2 is kinda tight. If both of ur ram cannot take this timing after u set it, ur mobo wont get bootup. But fear not, just switch off everything and take off the bios battery to reset it.

@Kabu
Lol.. both of ur rigs ge vice versa. Able try to slot ur 73GT to ur Axp? Can that mobo hold the factory default clock speed? Hm.. Was wander how come P4P800-X were having alot of compatible issues. Ram ratio, GC speed..

@ReaperOfSoul
Hi.. Welcome back to visit this thread. Btw.. Ur proc temp seems scary abit. Ever think off get a better cooler?

Woah.. New thread hit 3 page at a day. Not bad!

@ReaperOfSoul
Well.. For me it was. Im very concern with my rigs temp. Even a rise of 1-2'c also will make take action already. Well.. Burnt few components before thus I'm very alert to temp.

@kabukiawie
Haha.. Lol! Btw, ur axp is running on AGP 8x or 4x? I still remember my 98PRO were sold to the owner with AGP 4x and cant use the card end up he resell the card again. duh..

Owh? ATI 3xxx card? Wish nvidia has 8xxx for AGP. But then, sure CPU bottleneck alot in gaming. No point to get such an high end card but the CPU bottleneck it. By the, provided the GC comes with HDMI then can use for movieee!! HTPC!

@Ray
Hm.. Might be. But in this comming years i think AGP still owned his place in the market thou. Seems like ATI still coming out with AGP so probably the value of AGP wont drop that fast. And also, nvidia are alway a head further stable then ATI their might be higher.

@kabukiawie & Barry
Haha.. For now, atleast ATI still giving AGP user some favor thou. Anyways, hope in the coming year, ATI AGP got price slash! Im going to LYP next week, try see survey the ATI 3000series card price.

Well kabu, atleast u got a torrent machine man.. I got torrent with my main rigs. Anyways, on my way to get a Celeron 666 ask soon. Use as torrent machine not bad thou.

@raymond5105
Haha.. Barry change his rigs withou notice thou. Yea.. 2nd kabu's word. After 2-3 years light applicaton guess still ok for S478. Perhaps after that time, gonna change it into HTPC lo. Still powderful in movie!

@Redundant
Hah.. Yea. 2.4Ghz proc really is a pain when playing recent game. Even mine o/c til 3.6+ still can feel the pain when on C&C 3 @ full details. But then, 60% of my pc resource still in watching anime and music.

@Ray
Haha.. Not really. When doing encoding.. Its take me sometime to finish it. Especially encoding some audio files. Other game like Dawn of War 3.6Ghz still able to hold the match. But not really for C&C3 as edmin says, that game required high processing power from cpu.

Ehehe.. Not really.. But since the graphic card can handle the game with full details, why not give it a shot? Dont waste man!

@raymond5105
Lol.. Edmin say he tried with Athlon 64, 2GB ram and 76GT on C&C3 it was butter smooth thou. But in fact, 76GT should be able to hold this game well. I face when in crowded scene. Especially when whole bunch of army group together and attack.

@barry80
Go grab the ATI HD 3series AGP now!!! Then sell me ur X1950PRO @ RM200.. Hahaha.. Jk jk! Btw, the AsRock mobo was rocking stable. Owned 2 of them before.. Well.. No doubt for its performance as it was from Asus.

@kabukiawie
Haha.. I was what will nvidia next series of card call after the 9 series. Since i know about PC thingy start until now, nvidia has been evolute from Geforce 4 until now Geforce 9.. 9 generation in less then 6 years time i guess.

@

@raymond5105
Lol.. Gonna test out edmin suggestion to see whether either is the GPU or the CPU is bottlenecking the game.

@Edmin
Yea.. The 1st GC that i use was the TNT. Hm.. Its 32mb type if im mistaken. Forgot already. But now.. Dont think it still exist lo. Rarely to find it at garage sales as well. Haha..

@Redundant
Ever tried with prostreet? Haha.. Never had a chance to touch wit bioshock thou. Wander our game tester here Edmin test this game with his rigs yet.

@Ray
Lol.. OT abit.. Did u know that actually there were another secret skirmish in C&C3? But with the rules of u gotta complete both GDI & NOD skirmish with hard level then u can unlock it. Anyways, is a good game! Mind training type.

By then.. Im running at the same resolution as u. But just i run all at ultra high details. Abit torture for the GC i guess. Oh yea.. How do u cap the fps during gaming? Last time i was using ATI tools but now change to nvidia card wander what software can be use to cap the fps.

@Edmin
Have u play C&C3 before with ur rigs? Lol.. I tested the method that u suggest just now. Ultra high setting with 1024*768 reso.. Seems like the lagness is gone. Seems like is the GC problem..

@kabukiawie
Gosh.. S3!! Nearly forgot this card. Actually my 1st GC wasnt TNT but S3/2D Trio! Haha.. Still remeber it. The card still alive in my uncle pc.

@herojack41
Bro, doesnt means on the pc 24/7 then need to have high watt PSU. A 450W will do as well. Just the component inside ur rigs that count on the power usage.

@raymond5105
Lol.. Frap again. Hm.. Gotta look for the *ehem version. Oh yea.. There were a secret skirmish. Lol.. I played all the mission in hard mode in order to unlock it. On my way now..

Hm.. Ultra setting for C&C3 suppose to be ok. Try UT3 then u will know what the pain is. Haha.. Mine, i can run with full texture details but world detail on can take 3 out of 5 the maximum.. 4 is playable but will cause u die fast when in shooting mode. Then 5? Dont need say..

@Tanakwagu_noh
Haha.. TECOM? Gosh man..That more worse the iCute FYI. iCute atleast can let me clock my previous 3.0E til 3.6Ghz before it explode and cause my mobo & proc dead.. The TECOM are only written 500W, actually continues output might only 3xxWatt only. Bro, i suggest u, if u got the $$, hamtam for ST400. Worth ur money.

@Redundant
Lol.. Enermax FMA II was a good kit. But well.. Price vs Performance, i think ST400 take the lead. Thats why most of the time, i will suggest go for ST400.

@Edmin
Lol.. But i think urs should be got more butter then mine. Whats the spec of ur 76GS edmin? Is it 600/1600?

@Kabu
Hee... But well.. Its on medium reso la! If 1280*1024 can run full details then baru syok!

@Ray
Lol.. Hm.. I just need something to measure the fps during gaming only. Can get the *ehem version good as well, got extra function.

@Edmin
Lol.. No wander the clock speed are different from what i see. Btw, stable at that speed huh? 100mhz extra juice from GPU and 150mhz extra from memory.. Thats alot of juice man.. Whats ur idle temp for this OC result?

On my way to OC mine now. Lazy to OC my procs as recently keep on torrent for drama an anime..

OT: The Sarah Connor Chronicles season 1 gonna end soon is it? Was download it now.. Got ah moi cantik inside..

@kabukiawie
Haha.. Wait the price drop until RM200!

@Sang
Hm.. Seems like the driver was causing u problem.. Are u using CRT or LCD? Had try the latest driver from ATI? U using the official driver right? Try to swap with 3rd party type and see how was it. Omega driver was one of my choice last time.

@Ray
Lol.. Kabu 73GT should be able to hook decent fps without AA on. But once AA on, i think he will start suffer already as 128mb vram wasnt enough for shader thou.
