[Holt]

MY comp

1. Install the Video Card


My comp
p4 1.3
384 Rambus RAM
GeForce 5200/Ultra 128MB

High Res: 1396
Low Res: 2100

Your scores might look something like this
***This will tie me over till PS2 version***

[Foug]

Mmm, I see. So mine will be low too

Radeon 9600 128MB is a much better card then the geforce 5200, but the card wont be your bottleneck...the processor will

[InuTrunks]

My suguestions are find out what motherboard you hvae, goto their website, find it. Then check the maximum processor speed you can have. Do some research on the processor. If it checks out, buy it, if not ::shrug:: Get a new mobo combo (with processor)

Then next set would be to update your rambus ram, you'll need some more, I'd suguest getting out that 128 you have, and putting a 512 in (I'm not an intel fan, so I wouldn't know if it works the same. I'm assuming they are....

Anyway, Thouse are your two bottlenecks.

I'm assuming you'll get about.... 2500 or so


My computer barely gets 2100 now I dunno why ^_^

Soyo KT-400 Dragon Ultra MB
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (266 FSB ><)
1x 512 pc2700 DDR (333 ><) (yea, I know)
Radeon 9000PRO 128/128 version (not the crappy 64).

Before I had a DMI lockup problem, I was pushing about
Before OC: 2783-H
After OC: 2958

Now:
2075-H

I don't get it o.o Maybe I killed something :D

[Foug]

2100 eh. Got any pics of what that'll look like?

[InuTrunks]

I'm ugradeing my whole computer again... (I just bought these parts in july of 2003) (about... 3 months ago XD)


I'm going to get an ABIT w/ nforce2 -s -v2
AMD Barton 3000+
Radeon 9800 Pro.


In the order from the Bottom, to the top ><

i agree 100%...
i suggest you upgrade the p4 to a 1.9gh willmate (i think that is it, that or the northwood A)

the 9600 is better than 5200 (my ti 4200 is better too), but the 9600pro owns all other video cards not requireing a molex power jack..
