here's some news, anyone interested to try windows 7 beta on their p4 rigs but want to download legitimately, microsoft is offering a public download for windows 7 beta, should be up today. and it's for limited number of users.

i think the 3850 would be the best out of those 3 that you listed. it's the latest ati series of agp cards available now. most probably will be bottlenecked, coz running on p4 only.

btw, ray & rogue, i'm also near sungai chua only, studying at UNITEN currently

me too. waiting and waiting for the right time to upgrade:lol:
probably will op for a cheap c2d or am2. but so far am2 seems cheaper. but have to wait for green light from dad also, or for the old hardware to give in. otherwise gotta use my own $$$

so fast sold already. many people looking for 3.0 HT proc. others hard a bit to sell. rite?

just saw your thread, rm90 for 3.0 is cheap. even your 2.8 is rm80. wonder how much my 2.0+heatsink can fetch..

RM50?
guess i won't be retiring the proc so soon then

yeah, last agp card for nvidia is 7 series, 73xx/76xx. the high end one like 7800 or 7900GS is very rare already. or you can go for ati cards, HD3850 or 2600XT. they don't have high end ones already.

who knows, maybe his father does play games no offence..
at least his mobo using ddr1 ram, still able to upgrade, mine 2.0GHZ using sdram, and just 2 slots only, wanna upgrade also hard

not much options too, can only upgrade proc with 400 or 533MHz FSB only. if not wrong the highest 533MHz proc is 2.6 or 2.8 rite?

can, coz your board is using agp 8x. just need to look around for suitable card, like geforce 7 series or ati HD3850 or 2600XT.

i think the best bet now is HD2600XT if you're going for brand new, around RM200+ only. The 3850 is still expensive as mentioned, around RM600+. Nvidia 7 series a bit hard to find in the market now, 7300GT only. 7600GT/GS not so sure..

wow...suddenly everybody is starting to let go their p4 system

@fylon,
good good...wanna know the performance also..thinking of getting one..
yeah you were right, there indeed are difference colours to differentiate the performance and market that they're targeting. anyway yours is what colour?

btw, wanna ask, my friend has got a P4 3.0HT and wants to try windows 7 on his pc. can his pc support and run smoothly?

his specs are :
p4 3.0HT
1.5gb ddr400 ram
80gb hdd
geforce 6200

thanks edmin and prasys for the feedback. wanted to try out on my friend's system, unfortunately my dvd had some problems, endup with xp back instead

screwed up like how?

what's a hot flash? just like normal bios flashing?

ahhh....got it already. first time i typed "hot flash" in google, came out some women thingy..

super risky eh, like that means have to find bios chip from the exact same model rite?

@fylon,
found out something related to hormones or menapause
din click to read further

my p4 at home also the same, got different timings, both are the same speed, but can't run together. end up downclocking them to make them run together
