.... as i'm sure everyone does about their machine every so often :-) I am currently running an Athlon XP 2600+ TB at an FSB of 179MHz x12.5 (2.24GHz- Sandra clocks it somewhere above an Athlon 3200), 512Mb of unbranded DDR2700, a GF4 Ti4600 Golden Sample and a woefully old 20Gb HDD (access times...

Hi, I am going to build a new system based on a Shuttle Barebone with an Athlon 64. Because I want to run Linux, ATI cards are out of discussion here. My focus is a Geforce FX5700 Ultra card. I want to play some games like Enemy Territory and Doom III if it is available, but highest resolutions...

What is the most stable card that will kick all the others asses? Repeat subject line. thx WS

Just wondering what you think of it. I got mine last week and am well pleased. Only thing is I'm using Linux and can't overclock it just yet as "nvclock" is still in experimental stage for the FX range. Has anyone tried UT2004demo? I'd be interested to hear your fps and at what resolution. John.

Hello. I'm researching into purchasing a new video card, and have a question. I was originally deciding between an ATI 9600 XT, an nVidia 5700 Ultra, or a nVidia 5900. I've found a couple of what I feel to be good deals on the 5900, which seems to overpower both the 9600 XT and the 5700 Ultra. ...

I'd appreciate your advice regarding graphics card performance. My previous card was a GeForce4 TI 4200 it did what it did and I didn't worry too much about FPS etc. A few months ago I decided to build a new system, a system that hopefully would be a great game rig. The specs. are as follows: P4...

Anyone out there running the big (wrap around) Zalman or Thermaltake coolers on a 5900xt? My RAM is getting hot (Leadtek 5900xt with hynix 2.2ns) when I crank it up (hot enough to lock up). So I'm thinking a bigger solution may be better than just stick-on ramsinks. Thoughts?

I recently bought an "ASUS FX5700 256 DDR 8xAGP" and I'm wondering if I should download and use the Nvidia drivers from their website or use the latest ones from the ASUS website? Regards, _____ Gaffer

when? thanks!

I seem to be having a problem with my system lately and it's driving me crazy. For the past two days my monitor has started to blink and make a clicking sounds, exactly as if it were changing resolutions. It does this over and over until my pc locks up and I have to reboot. It will do it at random...

I have a Geforce FX5200 video card and when I try to play Forsaken which I haven't done with this new Card yet it crashes when the game is loading up. Any ideas on how to get around this?

I just put in a new Chaintech FX5700 card, and now after about 10-20 min of use the mouse becomes 'jerky', i.e., will not move smoothly across the screen. Also, the screensave will be running, and then exhibit the same start-stop activity. I started running my system with a side panel off the case,...

I've just installed the latest drivers from the nVidia web site, and have set up Windows to span horizontally across my two screens. I want to prevent the taskbar from spanning across the two, or alternatively have the same taskbar on both; just not stretched across the two! There is an option on...
