Upgrade Geforce 4600 to Radeon 9800 worth it?

I waited out having a GF3 (original) and got a Retail 9700 Pro. Running fast and smooth with AA/AF sure makes the games look great. The new batch isn't too far off and waiting will give you a larger boost in performance.

*** Official ASUS P4G8X Thread ***

WeirdScience Nice setup except for the video card! :D People are picking up 9800 Pro's off the shelf at Fry's already. They should be easy to find by the time you decide to upgrade.

Best fan bus/rheostat for reasonable price?

After reading this review, I ordered the Nexus NXP-201. I like how a harddrive has room behind the controller since the fan connectors are mounted vertically vs horizontally as on the Sunbeam. Since the Nexus controls the voltages from 7-12v, I think it should handle starting the fans every...

Best fan bus/rheostat for reasonable price?

"From the off position, each of the knobs turns on with a satisfying tactile click. The super bright LED lights up bright red. As you turn up the speed of each device, the corresponding LED changes from red to blue, indicating the relative voltage." It seems to be saying that they light up...

*** Official ASUS P4G8X Thread ***

WeirdScience I'm running a P4 3.06 WinXP Pro and other than disabling Fast writes for my ATi 9700 Pro, no problems at all. Running stock speeds right now. I'll see what FSB I can run without having to increase the vcore voltage too much later. ;) P4G8X-DX (1004twk BIOS) Retail P4 3.06 HT...

THUGSROOK Great thread and stuffed full of needed info for this soon to be owner of a P4G8X-D, (saw it at newegg in stock). I had ordered a GA-8INXP in Jan from ncix.com and still was waiting for the order to be filled. After reading the fun you're having with the Asus, I canceled the Gigabyte...

8INXP + Radeon 9700 = NO OC ?

Yes those silly wives! And they say we don't understand them. :D dmhinz Which PCI slot did you end up using on the 8INXP for your Audigy? I'm trying to check mine out in a BE6-2 and it's giving me nightmares. :( Stayed up all night trying to get it to jump to an IRQ where it would stop...

8INXP + Radeon 9700 = NO OC ?

dmhinz Yes NCIX is in Canada, but they were the lowest price I found besides the only one listed as in stock. I got one of the WD 80GB SE and figured I'd upgrade to SATA if it looks to be worth it later. I had to wait for upgrading since putting a son through college isn't cheap. :D Feel like...

dmhinz Glad to hear you're having luck with the board. Mine's still being held hostage by ncix.com! :( Next shipment due 02/10/03 informed by email, (they claimed mine will be shipped then). I have a P4 3.06 but didn't want my wife to kick my butt and only got 512MB of the TWINX 3200. :D I went...
