hmm.. depends, depends.
there is a gf ti4200 out there that uses a much higher rated memory than others, that one can oc like a BEAST. did asus make it? i cant recall... that would be my first suggestion, assuming you can still find it.
but then again you may want dx9 spec for longetivity...
voodoo3... 1 year
radeon 32mb (non-ddr, pci)... 9 months
radeon 8500... 16 months and still going
i am planning to upgrade though, as soon as i get enough money, to a AIW 9700 pro. i think 18 months is a goodly number for gpu upgrade time.
edit: oh, and nothing ever died on me
hd is bad.. run a scandisk and then a repair install. but did you say that you changed memory and it booted? might wanna check your memory too. run memtest86 to do that. but it sounds like the hd.. esp if it got interrupted in the midst of a huge operation like that.
well corrupted HDs happen incredibly often for me when i OC... just run the scandisk and see if you have any bad sectors. one time after i fixed the disk my comp was a good 25% slower until i reinstalled windows.. that sucked. you may try running a repair installation too.
i can lay it out right now...
9700 pro AIW $350
barton 2500+ $87
256mb corsair xms3200 $59
hmm thats a little more than $450 but i'll get it back by selling my 8500 and my 1700+.
i'm thinking of ordering a barton 2500+ from newegg cuz they're cheap, and my old 1700+ needs replacing. i've been searching the net to figure out how to unlock it, and i've read that you simply need to bridge the 5th L3 connection. is this true? i trust you guys more than some random site on...
thanks sak, but i already know all that info. what i need is the proper sytax for that line. here it is again for win2k:
[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir=D:\Documents and Settings
but that doesnt work for xp pro. so either you cant use it at all or its just written differently. if anyone...
if so, i have a question.
with win2000, you can change the default location of the 'Documents and Settings' folder during an unattended installation by adding 'ProfilesDir = z:/foldername' under the header '[GuiUNattended]' in the Unattend.txt file. However, if i try to do the same with xp...
yeah... wth, man? nforce2 is dual channel...
i would future-proof your motherboard if you can. get a high-end one, one that will for sure support the 400 mhz bus that amd is gonna move too. make sure it has lots of features, too.. like serial ata and usb2.0 and whatnot. anybody know a good...
hey rollo, i am personally offended for all those with an iq below 70 who read these forums. you must be young and don't know better, or a very stupid adult. people with an iq below 70 have enough problems without people like you adding to the stereotype that they are somehow inferior. Either...
i was hoping you'd point that out. of course they're ignorant. the example was not about their ignorance, but rather the way that they acted on their ignorant belief that 'niggardly' was a bad word. do not deny that the action would have been the same if he had said 'gay'. and by challenging...
