"Tearing" with Radeon 9700 pro

I just put together a new system: xp 2400+, fic radeon 9700 pro, 1gb kingston hyperX 3000..... For reference, I get about 14,000 3dmarks with everything at stock and the image quality looks great. However, I'm a bit concerned with the fluidity of images. Sure, I'm getting insane fps, but it...

soft mod radeon 9700-->9800pro

I read somewhere that the 3.3 cats will give the 9700s a performance boost but not the 3.2s. It was a quote from ATI.. can't remember where I read it though :)

RAM prices going up, any predictions??

I agree.. guess it's time to buy my new system. I'm thinking: XP 2400+ oc to around 2.25ghz 1GB Kingston HyperX 3000 RAM FIC Radeon 9700 PRO 120GB Maxtor I've been holding out for a while due to memory and video card prices. I honestly don't think the R350 is going to knock down the R300...

Hot or Not? KINGSTON HyperX Series 512Mb

I hear it's pretty good stuff.. I'll probably be getting the HyperX 3000 though for $80. It looks like newegg just got it in.

Is my monitor gonna explode?

I had to RMA a KDS monitor about 2 years ago, and it went very smooth. However, mine was within a 90 day warranty.. I dunno how it works now. The RMA went very quickly.. they sent me a refurb monitor, then I packed my monitor in the same box and UPS came and picked it up (I had to give KDS my...

Suggestions on mobo+cpu+memory

I plan on getting a vantec 7040 heatsink/fan. Tom rated this hsf well and it's supposed to be pretty quiet.

Suggestions on mobo+cpu+memory

I'll be building a new computer sometime in the near future (I'm hoping the R350/RV350 will either knock the price down on the R300 or be within my price range (heh, probably won't be) Here's what I have in mind: Epox 8rda+ motherboard XP 2400+ or Barton 2500+ CPU 2 x 512MB Kingston HyperX...

Must... have... 2500+ oc benchmarks

Dang, anyone else itching to see how well the 2500+ will overclock? Has AMD not even released this chip yet? I'd like to see some sites like AnandTech or HardOCP get a hold of one of these babies. I've heard speculation that the 2500+ is basically the same as the 2800+ and 3000+ but...

Anyone know when the R350 is due out???

I heard it's supposed to be officially announced at CeBit(?) on March 12. Rumors are that it's already in mass production. It sure would be nice to have them available massively mid-March. I probably won't be dropping $399 on a new card, but I'd sure drop $250 on a 9700 pro if the release...

Build machine now or wait for r350/rv350?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm leaning towards waiting now.. I like the idea of the R300 Pro price going down once the R350 is released. Another thing I'm hoping for is that the barton 2500+ overclocks like a beast. I wish some sites could get a sample. It's a Creative.. I plan to...
