I say go for the gusto, get the VisionTek Ti500. You might as well get the horsepower now for the future games that will stress even the GF3 cards. These can be found for around $300-315 on the internet, and the performance is amazing. My 3DMark2001 score is 7888
<< stay with crucial if you don't know what you need.
256mb Mushkin Basic PC2100 $ 34
this one is nothing special, better to get Crucial PC2100 cl2.5 for same price.
256mb PC2400 DDR SDRAM $ 62
this one is for overclocker, if you want the memory guaranteed to be able to run at 150Mhz.
256MB...
My vote would be to get way more than you need. It's cheap insurance. Buy an Enermax431, Sparkle 400, or Antec403. Be sure to get not less than 200 watts for the 3.3+5 rail combined wattage rating. You won't regret it. If you can just get by with 300 watts, then you will stress it with...
the one I use is 3DMark 2001, which will not run when others will. Either it has a problem, or it reveals the computer's shortcomings better. Don't know for sure.
Klondikekit may have an opinion on Sandra in general, and I'll let him do that, but to give you a comparison, I have the GEforce2 Ultra, OC'd by 10% to 275/500 and my puter is OC'd to 1.45Ghz and my 3DMark 2001 score is 4720 when I ran it yesterday. Some things really hurt my score, like when I...
Here's an interesting article with great detail about OC potential of the AXIA chip (over voltage, undervoltage, power supply, heat, etc.Written in June

Just for info, I flashed the bios from 1003 to 1004 with the following results:
Bios 1003
OC possible to 146 FSB stable
Windows will not load above 148
3DMark 2001 will not complete above 146
CPU Temps idle/load 49/54
3DMark 2001 score 4750 (at 145)
Bios 1004
OC possible to 145 FSB...
I use SBLive value, but I would be first to admit that they fail to heed Scotty's advice (from Star Trek) and I paraphrase, "the more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain..." I use SB Live BUT...I load only the SB basic drivers (the ones that load when you...
Here is a really cool website which has an ever cooler URL. It contains all kinds of really technical stuff, especially in quantum mechanics. I was reading about the use of mirror quanta, which are separated from each other, and if you affect one, the other changes too. This...
NOTE: This is a copy of a post I put in the Mobo forum, but it applies to this forum as well, so I hope to find someone who has done this exact thing. Being new, I hope it does not violate any rule to post in two forums.
My A7M266 will OC using the FSB alone to about 143 completely stable, but...
Thanks for the fast reply. Yeah I know, but when I read early reviews of the A7M before I ordered, the issue of the missing mult dips was not well known (and I am pretty sure I actually saw a picture of the board with the multiplier dips showing on the board-- I think I saw it on Tom's site)...
My A7M266 will OC using the FSB alone to about 143 completely stable, but becomes unstable around 144-145 (strange errors and benchmarks like 3DMark 2001 will lock up during the merry go round scene, but SiSoft Sandra tests run flawlessly) and won't load windows at 147-148. I am using Corsair...
