safe fsb for an axp-m?

my motherboard can apparently keep agp/memory running at the maximum frequencies supported, so i'm free to bump up the fsb, but am i looking at frying my axp-m with a 200mhz fsb? :o

command-line video card info tools?

i've been search high and low for something equivalent to linux's nvclock to show video card frequencies from the command-line, to no avail. i even contemplated used c# to write some little console app to do the job, but a lack of any specific library to use in order to do this kind of stopped...

Windows saying I'm installing something.. WHEN I'M NOT!

Windows say I can only install one device at a time, even though nothing is open that is an installer dialog. This on Windows 2000 SP4, attempted to install something via nVidia driver installer and Add/Remove Hardware shortcut in the Control Panel. Please help, 16 colors @ 800x600 sucks :/

Do ATI PCI-E card work in an SLI setup?

Why troll? It's a simple question, and you obviously have nothing to contribute.

New LCD (DELL E193FP) is killing my eyes

and this is proof why LCD > CRT, and furthermore that 60hz on a CRT kills your eyes, trust me :/

FX5200 and Radeon 7500 gone bonkers!

Recently, I've had the misfortune of both my faithful Radeon 7500 and my newer FX5200 card pushing up daisies, so to speak. After the acquisition of my new AXP-M setup, it seemsed to take but a month of so for the FX5200 to die on me. It works up until you hit the actual win2k login, or until it...

~$90 for a BFG 5900NU, worth it or not?

well the guy selling apparently had an interested buyer on the hardforums, so now that I have my funds all pooled, hopefully that thing falls through, and I can pick up a good card for cheap ^_^ thanks for all the advice. I know that 5900U card is good, and opengl will be used (all the major...

~$90 for a BFG 5900NU, worth it or not?

I've seen some people ask what video card to get, and talk about ATI > Nvidia for upcoming (DX9) games. But, if I only had $90 - $100 to spend, would the 9600 Pro (the best radeon I can with my money, except for looking for people selling theirs) be better than a 5900 Ultra in any of todays...

reaching the cap with my axp-m?

I've posted to some other threads, I've stumbled across a post which points to my motherboard being the reason I can't use a multiplier over 12.5x - but I've yet to see how I can unlock the multiplier cap without closing the L1 bridges, and the person who posted about my motherboard locking me...

Is the Epox 8RDA3I a complete wash? :(

Is this board (or its parent series, 8RDA) a complete wash as far as overclocking for Athlon XP mobiles? It only supports 3 different FSBs (or 4, didn't see if there was a 100mhz option) and the multiplier appears to be locked (was told it was due to my motherboard, the thread is here) The...

Question about the XP-M 2400 and multipliers/FSB

my mobile is definitely locked at 12.5x(not locked to it, but locked from going any higher), and googling has confirmed (to an extent) that most xp's are locked into this multiplier cap without modifying the L1 bridges. i do, however, have an epox 8RDA3I which doesn't let me change the fsb to...
