ya i also no date to sell mine 6600GT at that price for sure is i want to sell at hundred plus

Lol.. 6600GT definitely better then 9550. Its SM3.0 somemore.. Can play of the game around thou with low low low (sacrificing eye candy) or midium low medium..

O/T: Cant wait my new board and new ram kit come.. Handy quite itchy already..

Hi guy i got serious problem here need u all advice

CUrrently my P4 rig very weird.

If normal running.... my pc have nothing problem.

But when i loading 3d game.... my pc hang after few minute loading.

I test with 2 different gc card and both give me same result

When using 6600GT problem come few minute after load 3d game
when using 2600XT problem come directly after load 3d game

It is possible my M.B. KO already or PSU isue? i am using 450W PSU normal one (not very cheap cap ayam one la)

i got try run prime95 for short period no show any sign my system will hang.

Ar...................................

@bai1101
Care to elaborate more about ur case? What type of hang? BSOD? System restart? Only when ur system on load then the weird thing happen? Most probably is powah not enough.

Are ur display card required extra powah?

no BSOD or wat it just like direct freeze at there. mouse also can't move.

Just now i try watch anime only also hang swt.

But leave idle no seem have any problem.

i been using the 6600gt for over half year already now only show power no enough ><? If PSU KO than i still ok. If MB i will headache go where find replacement. Hai...........

Haha,i know you are kacau only.

Interested to get but no reply from seller in forum or PM.Afraid is sold off.

Yup,SM3.0 supported.Far away better thab 9550.It's slightly better than X800pro too.

@Ray
No worried man.. Maybe the seller still sleeping ma! Haha.. Wish u luck to get the GC. RM80 really nice deal!

6600GT is slightly better in term of technology used, but performance i think x800 still leading eh?

P/s: My P4 2.4Ghz got boosted to 3.0Ghz.. Eh.. Anyone know the default vcore for northwood? The system is running on default vcore atm, where vGAP and vdimm has been increase by 0.1v. Can feel the different with stock spd and OC spd when doing work. Imagine an excel file with 20k data..

no flick but u can saw the graphic stuck a while, than run against than stuck against. After ward direct hang.

U also heard the sound running than jam jam jam Hang.

@bai1101
Haha.. Quite similar with my previous case on my office P4. Probably the case like what edmin mentioned before. Ya house current is having brownout but ur PSU cannot take the charge changed in a sudden. My problem solved once after swap a new PSU. How was ur PSU?

@bai1101
few things you can try here:

-have you check your voltage?? use speedfan or other utility to see the 3.3v, 5V and 12v. see it fluctuate or not. check the cpu, gc and mb temp as well.

-try set to default speed and try it again. if your mobo can adjust the agp voltage?? your gc may draw more power than 66gt.

-you say you prime but stable, what is the priority?? set it to 7+ and wait for 30min++, default priority is 0 or 1 if not mistaken

-lastly is maybe your driver problem, previous driver is nvidia and now you using ati. prev driver may conflict with newer 1.

hope can help....

@Ed
haha... aiming for mini9 liao??? it seems so sweet to me. to bad i out of $$

Haha.. Why not give a test on intel burn test? That beast 2 mins priming is enough for finding the error for OC ady.

intel burn test i thought is onli for s775. hahaha... i better go read info about it... hahaha...

Edited: just read the instructions.... seems a great tools for fast testing. thanks, fylon.

i am running prime95 for over 4 hours aready. system still ok.

PSU i guess i will try laterr.

driver should not been issue since i got use driver cleaner clean all the diver before i install new one.

i hope is PSU problem.

i also worry MB problem. cause i got run ram test on my pc and it always hang on half. but when i swap to another pc it run ram test perfectly

@Kabu
No no... IBT can on run old school rigs as well. Here the benchies... Hand quite itchy liao.. OC abit abit. Push my working rigs from 2.4Gh to 3.0Gh today, but keep got restarting issues. i guess vcore not enough. So down to 2.8Gh and run IBT. Anyone care to tell me the save vcore for Northwood?

Leve 1 is max stress And i found that, IBT seems like only utilized the virtual core (correct me if im wrong).



@bai1101
Whats ur prime setting? Did ur rigs on OC mode? Hm.. IF mobo issues then u gona prepare liao.. I guess should me the PSU.. Whats ur voltage reading? Try get the screen shot from speed fan.

@fylon
i know that already, after download it i read the instruction got mention about old cpu also can run. hahaha..... i mixed up with coretemp already, my bad.

if not wrong, 1.6v should be quite save.... some hardcore northy ocer even push till 1.8-1.9v @_@"

well.... i never go beyond 1.6v... cause my pity p4p800x only have 1.6v vcore highest.

Lol.. IBT really burn the procs eh... My rigs got around 12 degree temp rise during priming. At aircon room usually is 28-30'c for my system but once it got BURN, temp is around 40-42'c..

Seems like P4P8x has better OC setting.. In bios P4P8x can have vcore range up to 1.85v if im not mistaken.

seems sweet... but like u also... $$$ hahaha... it is a good netbook! buy buy buy...

the 6600GT is a 128 bit 128 ram card

the X800 is a 256 bit and 256 ram card

technically the X800 is almost on par with 12 pipelines against the 6600GT.

my X800 is 16 pipelines which helps better.... my card is comparable to a 6800NU.

on benchmark tests, loses out to 6800GT. On my personal experience, 6600 is a great fight to X800 but with a mix of experience, I can show you benchies and my benchies are rather higher

Haha.. But for old schools, gaming experience is far important than benchies right?

Pity windows XP only able to detect 3.5G / 4G ram.. Time to move on vista!

@fylon,default vcore for northwood is 1.525v.If pump up to 1.6v is still safe,do not put 1.7v. Your problem in detecting only 3.5GB is because of 32bits Windows enviroment.You can swtich to 64bits and see.

Jcsy,x800 with 12pl is almost par with 6600GT. I perfer 6600GT > than x800.
