    What are the best Nvidia drivers?

    So among the many drivers out there available for Nvidia cards whats the best all around as far as quality and performance?

    XP or 2000?

    I'm running 2000 pro and am wondering if switching to XP would be a better choice. If so then how is it better?

    Slot 1= Slot A????

    Just a quick question. I know the earlier AMD chips were intel compatible. Are the slot A athlons compatible with slot 1?

    Is there a difference between these video cards?

    9600xt or the 5700 ultra. Or swing an extra $50 for a FX5900. That would definitely be better.

    What mobo do you think is the best?

    I think if you want to go nforce you should go with either Aopen or Abit. If you want a KT600 either the MSI KT6 delta or the Soyo Dragon Kt600 ultra. Just remember if you want a good nforce board think a little higher than your budget. Besides theres nothing wrong with KT600. The performance...

    Is there a difference between these video cards?

    Yeah but doesn't the all-in-wonder come with the 9800 pro?

    Is there a difference between these video cards?

    Your post doesn't answer his question. His question was whats the difference. Your posts says that it sucks.

    A possible hardware issue

    Yes indeed its a ram issue. I have a MSI KT6 delta and I solved this by loosening the timings and raising the DDR voltage. Also having good ram helps. I run Kingston Hyper X PC4000. I had the same problem you described and I solved it by loosening my timings and raising voltage. Also you're...

    Is there a difference between these video cards?

    The all-in-wonder comes as a package. With a remote and other fun stuff I believe. Also I'm pretty sure that the 9800 that comes in the All-in-wonder is a pro. And opening up the pipelines aren't as simple as installing a driver.

    How fast is SATA?

    So if I'm seeing this right the southbridge is linked directly to the northbridge right? So it wouldn't be linked through the PCI bus?
  11. TheGoatMan

    How fast is SATA?

    Well you get the picture. Does the southbridge chipset on a KT600 run through the PCI bus? This would limit me to 133/mbs max right? If not then 150mbs?

    Opinion: Cheap PC package or build slower PC myself?

    First stay away from biostar. Next the thouroughbred is an awesome chip. (Is there a reason the 2500+ is so cheap???) But the price is right on that barton.ValueRam = ValueCrap. Its packaged by kingston but they sure as hell didn't make it. If you want nforce go for Abit NF-7. But overall yor...

    type of Video card

    Old Pentium 3 mobo with new video card?

    Yeah forget watching a t.v. Thats time spent away from the computer.

    What is the largest capacity, fastest, hard drive available?

    The hell with these guys. I tell you what I want. Just kidding. Your hard drives will only be as fast as your motherboard will transfer the data. How about this. For under $1000 assuming he doesn't have a very fast board you can do this. Buy a new board with SATA with RAID and IDE raid also...

    Damaging your system

    You know I really feel I've taken this too far. I used to check out thrift stores and pick up $15 systems (the best I found was a P3 500 with a very cool board and video card) and play games on them. Then one week I just happen to have $1000 and away it went. I also wanted to show up my snotty...

    How fast is SATA?

    I'm currently running a 7200rpm ATA133 Maxtor drive with a 2mb buffer. My board supports raid for SATA. I've been looking at the WD raptor 10,000rpm drives. I want to run 2 with raid 0+1. Will this be a significant difference seeing as how my memory transfer rate is higher than my friends dual...

    Damaging your system
