what kind of monster has intel unleashed here with the 45nm processors, thats absolutely insane that you can go almost (and im sure when someone gets braver) 2GHz past stock on a processor

I don't understand why you want to push a 300$ cpu that far, that is well over the 33% rule for overclocking, 500mhz over to be almost exact, and 3ghz on that processor should be more than enough to handle everything you would even think about throwing at it for at least 2 years. but thats just me

I say quad... 12mb l2 cache vs. 6mb, 4 cores at 2.66ghz vs. 2 at 3.0ghz, quad is more future proof than the dual, and most importantly the quad has more bang for the buck 79$/core on the quad and ~$120/core on the dual This is just my opinion, I would like someone to show me why I shouldn't...

does anyone else have/heard of problems with an 8800gt on the x38 chipset?

i just got an 8800gt and it doesnt always work, it works but not as it should, it seems like it is either bottle necking with my crappy pentium 4 ( which i know it is doing that) but sometimes like at 4o'clock pm it always works just fine. this is always after its been off all night and most of...

ya mine runs at 47idle and i have the wind tunnel case so if you can get below that then you are doing extremely well

what is virtual windows and how do i use/get it?

iv done all of that... although i always turn off cpu and pcie spread spectrum (what ever that does) because i saw a screen shot of someone who knew what they were doing and they had both of those disabled. the thing i dont get is why it worked perfectly at 4 but now it runs like crap again...

well it started doing it again. i can at max get 6fps in 3dmk06 and thats with the cpu overclocked and stock speeds. any ideas?

well i guess speedfan doesnt work on vista 64bit... and i dont know if you know but my p4 is a 65nm if that would make the difference? its a cedar mill 631

well that is what everyone tells me, but i have used pc probeII i have used pc wizard and i have looked in the bios and all say around 18 at idle... my room is about 66F and the heat sink (zalman 9700NT) is never hot, even around the mount. its always cold to the touch. and so speed step...

firstly, how exactly does it work? Can I change when it kicks up the mhz or is it what it is? And finally thank god for it cuz i have overclocked a p4 from 3ghz to 4ghz and it allows me to keep my computer on all the time w/o heat, meaning 18C at idle and 30C at 4ghz.

that didnt sound right to me either. but i oced an now i can play gears of war and cod4 at 30+fps. i rmaed my first gt because it would artifact, but i ran ati tool with this one for an hour and it was just fine. im sure its a bottle necking problem some how, and i WANT a new cpu but the 45...

well i fixed the problem, i had to oc to 4ghz though and thats not exactly ideal. another ideas on how to fix this w/o such a high cpu clock

well then... i was wondering if there was anyway to decrease the multiplyer in the cpu inorder to increase the fsb and possably allow it to feed the processor a bit faster so i can get some good frame rates, tell me if my thinking is off. i know that i have a locked multiplyer, but i heard...

yes.. get that one its kickass

i had an 1300pro ati card in my computer and it played games extremely well for its age.. i would play cod4 at at least 25 fps and gears at around the same maybe a bit less... now i got an 8800gt and cod4 jumps more than the girls on bay watch. i have a 3ghz p4 ( to hold me over till i can get...

i may be having the same problem with my 8800GT and my pentium 4...

i got 43sec on a stock cedar mill p4 (3ghz) overclocked to 4ghz i got 35sec... i think thats a pretty good indication that ocing works

i just got my 8800gt, and i went to go play cod4 and it works great in the menu then when you start the game the mouse moves very very slowly and the sounds jump all over the place. i have heard that the 8800's have some issues with some sound cards mine is a supreme fx II. does anyone know a...
