    BIOS Running with lag? Help please

    The part number indicates that it is not a BBA. This part number is used on 9800 PROs, but also with powercolor 9800SEs. However I wasn't able to find a bios for a powercolor 9800 se with your part number. If you want to, you can try a bios for a BBA 9800 non pro 128mb w/infineon memory (you...

    X800GTO 256mb vs. X850XT 256mb

    Yeah it's at 450/500 right now (stock = 400/490) and I can enable AA/AF at 10x7 in newer games, which is what I was expecting when I first got it.

    BIOS Running with lag? Help please

    Your BIOS seems to be from a Built By Ati 9800 non pro 128mb with Infineon memory. The clocks are consistant with a 9800 non pro. Is your card ATI branded or is it from a third-party manufacturer (Sapphire, Abit, etc) ? We'll need to find out what card you have exactly. You will have to...

    building the mother of all pc's.... have questions

    The FSB on a Core 2 Duo is 1066 mhz, so 2x533mhz. So the memory has to run at 533mhz in order to keep up. The idea between getting faster RAM is that if you overclock, it will be something less to worry about. I've also read that running the memory synchronously with the FSB helps the system...

    Right now it seems SLI has fewer issues than CF, so I have to recommend SLI.

    BIOS Running with lag? Help please

    Well at this point we don't know for sure, but ruling this out is the first step imo. I should probably mention that you shouldn't play with memory timings if you don't know what the settings mean. The clock/memory speed on the 9800 se can vary a bit, although if it's anything like...

    Im in a Bind.

    If you're not on a tight budget, I suggest you wait so you can get the latest gen card/cpu/mobo. Be advised though that availability is always an issue on new products. If you are, then it doesn't matter, build your rig and enjoy it. Right now you can get very good components for very cheap...

    building the mother of all pc's.... have questions

    You do not want ECC and you want to use DDR2 533 memory, not 667, unless you plan on overclocking. Also, you chose a CrossFire board. So unless you wish to get two video cards, you can look at other boards and save some cash there. Also, instead of getting the x1950xtx, you should get the...

    Next Step - Choose a MotherBoard

    well the problem for me is this: 2xcards = 2xprice != 2xperformance DDR2 667 and up is only usefull if you oc, if not, DDR2 533 is the way to go.

    Difference between XP Home & Pro again? I forgot, sorry...

    Looking at the list, it's obvious Home is a crippled Professional version, as opposed to Professional being Home + "extra" features. Home should be called Lite and Professional should be called Standard, although the marketing department would surely disapprove...
