I Have made a Decision, What do you all think?

**Praetor** · 07-12-2004, 03:11 AM

Actually my OC isnt anything special.... i just changed three things in my BIOS:
FSB --> 200
MEMORY --> 200
MEMORY MODE --> Performance
No tinkering with voltages or anything (yet, i have to if i push it further)

Smallplayer_French_LOL · 07-12-2004, 12:32 PM

me i'm in 200 * 10.5 = 2100 if i want to got until 2200 i have to increase my Vcore voltage to 1.70 i believe ...

Ok, the Hard Drive is the 8MB cache. I also found the Plextor 712, Very nice I'm surprised I didnt notice it the first time.

As for the Graphics card, that is why I have been aiting for the 6800 Ultra. Does anyone know when they will not be backordered on all the sites I go to?

Nice Forum link it helped a lot and seemed to point to thermaltake as a good brand, I got a nice CPU Fan with a Speed control. Supposed to handle up to 3.6 gig.

Thanks again fro all the suggestions guys, I'm sure I will have many more questions to come.

Glad we could help out

dunno about if/when back-orders will stop though

it *is* a hot card.

Yeah I have been watching every site I can think of for the last few days. Hopefully soon because I would like the nvidia.

I would not recommend an OEM. The difference between OEM and Retail Version is that, an OEM is a distributor liscence. The same product issued to multiple system purchasers.

It will cost less, but essentially you don't own your operating system. The company that issued the product key does.

More importantly, when you buy OEM, you dont get the CD. Meaning if you need to reinstall you're screwed

Very true, in most cases. At best your are looking at a duplication of the original disc.. but there is never a gaurantee.
