    AGP Apature size

    128MB is optimal if you have 512MB+ of RAM. Dont go higher unless you want to waste your RAM. There were benchmarks done on the subject (google it..). Going higher than 128MB didn't actually yield better results.

    Do you overclock you GPU??

    I wouldn't o/c if you're satisfied with the perf. you get. Getting 5 extra fps may not be noticeable, and you push it too hard, you'll lose in stability.

    IS 5,737 low for this pc? - 3Dmark03

    LuckyStrike1, 3,800 for a 9600XT is actually pretty good. I was using a BBA 9600 pro a little while ago and scored around that range.

    safe CPU temps?

    yeah, 70C is the max. high operating temp for Intel P4 (see their web site for details).

    top power supplies

    I'd go with a Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480W (you're actually getting 550w). i'm very satisfied with it, voltages are very stable. I've heard problems with Antec PSUs.

    what temp does a cpu run at while gaming?

    51C when running UT2k3, Freelancer,.. for a few hours. Idle it goes down to 35C.

    Question about stock CPU heat

    Your temps seem about right (idle could probably be a bit lower). As long as your cpu temp is below 70C you have nothing to worry about. Check the Intel web site for maximum temps your P4 can handle.

    overclocking video card, how many loops of 3dmark?

    Just curious... how much perf gain do you get when stable? what speed are you running the 9800pro

    Trade in a 9600XT for a 9800Pro?

    Get the 9800Pro, the performance gains are well worth the price difference.

    9800 Pro on an older computer

    Go for it. I recently upgraded my older rig (i845G, 400FSB) with a 9800xt (from a 9600pro). Amazing difference!! scored 3,800 on 3Dmark03 before (~10,000 with 3DMark2001), and now above 6100 (3dMark03) and ~15000 on 3DMark2001. Gameplay is smooth as silk using 1200 x 1024, 4XAA, 4XAF, Vsynch...

    9800XT - Fastwrites on or off?

    I kept it enabled and haven't seen any stability problem so far (and no significant perf gain either...)

    Problem Solved!...ATI Radeon 9600XT - 3D games either freeze up or play so slowly that they are vertually unplayable.

    Check also if the video card conflicts with anything else, the audio card for example. Run msinfo32.exe, see status under IRQs, Conflicts, etc.. Hope this helps.

    Good DVD Player w/ region hack & PAL -> NTSC?

    Bought a cheapy one, AWD S99 at CircuitCity ($35) a few months ago. The unit can easily be changed to region free. Outputs NTSC, PAL, PAL60. Plays anything (DVD-R, DVD+RW, VCD, MP3, CD with Mpeg on it, you name it). So far I'm extreme happy with it. Picture quality is near perfect in PAL60.

    reeeeally low 3dmark03 scores.....

    Yeah, upgrade to a 9800 Pro or something in that range, and you'll get much higher scores.
