Not enough money (new ram was more than expected and just started uni) so traded my gt and a hard disk (2.11gb and about 10 years old :p ) for a friends near silent gt (I think I got a good deal)
:( ...one of my questions was whether or not the motherboard would like its audio being cut...
Went with the OCZ Platinum EL Dual Channel Kit 2x512MB PC3200 CL 2-2-2-5 Revision 2

Mainly the Anand article where they got it up to DDR 600 and performed well at most...
Shame they changed now I have too find a different set of ram. Prefiably micron :)
Thinking of the OCZ 3700 Gold EL due to the nice reviews it got from Anand...just looking for other reviews of it
About to order a gig of memory but ballistix timings have changed so Im not so sure I should buy them so I thought I would ask on the forums
What other memory manufacturers offered 2-2-2-5 ram with the same chip?
Its for an amd 64 system so I could always go with ocz eb stuff but would...
Can you cancel or those orders?!?!
Lol seriously most your friends wont care about (or even know about) high image quality. You probably don't. You could have got away with budget gamer systems if you wanted and still impressed people.
Why didn't you do something sensible with your...
Lots of German reviews (I think German anyway)
Some shipped in Europe and three shops had them in Britain :)

I like though the highly priced (£275 + £240 for processor = $800)
Pictures will be in about a month (need the money for two slot cooler and riser).
Haven't ordered a two slot cooler yet but got my new card now :D
And the gf2 did play doom III quite well...and made me respect my 6800gt more :)
Riser is only £10 so even if it doesn't work I won't have wasted a ton of money (and im sure I can use it some other time ;) )
Not going to dremmel the audio bits of at all...I think I don't have too and it seems a little bit crazy to me
Thinking off a two slot graphics card for cooler...
Ok im using a ribbon riser card to move the pci slot up to fit in a duel slot graphics card (have a single one but may add duel slot cooler)
I would have to remove the audio from my sn95gf to fit the pci card in (audigy2zs so no worries. Can I just dremel these off without the motherboard...

Anand did a run down and recomend balistics and ocz EB. I went with the balistics but I don't overclock (SFF)
Well after listening to the .wavs I explored the site
Got some more transcript from hidden links

Ermm the GT was pretty even to the x800 pro (I would probably say it was ahead but not by much)
Ah well, every site is going to have different results so there is no point looking :p
Ive seen worse
Maybe private message a moderator and tell them your plight - if it was harmless then maybe he will see the thread in a new light
Maybe toughening the rules is what your asking about what posts can exist...not sure what posts you are talking about. Do you mean new people...
I almost choked when I read this :D
Basicly 256mb of ram is no quicker so your normally paying alot more for nothing
64 bit memory bus is very very bad in a graphics card. Maximun as a minimum I would say as even halving it is crippling!
5700 perhaps
Test with your own eyes
Play the game - do you notice a loss of visual qualitity? Is it worth the loss for those extra fps?
You need to use your own eyes for this one :D
Build your own I would say. You get a better deal and one which is suited to your needs.
I liking the new Amd64's so would recomend maybe the 3200 for you ($270.00 ), just need a motherboard ($150), case($100), harddrive($100), graphics card(X800 $450) and ram (1gig of value ram - $200)...
lol my brothers P200 (well my one he stole for uni) came back with 3 antivirus programs installed and a fan filled over with an inch of dust...it didn't even rotate (god knows how it kept the computure cool!)
Had multiple viruses and the virus programs were not updated (im sure having three...
The 32 bit chips will not be disabled 64 bit chips from what I understand
They are not getting many chips onto a die at the moment and this is where these 32 bit processor come into play. You can fit a lot more (especially with the reduced L2). Yields are higher so they can sell more.
There is an amd 64 posts which would be useful to read. Its the one I started had links to all the amd 64 small forms I could find. Also look at the G5 post, its got a very sexxy socket 939 ;)
The xt should fit in all as well as your sound card. Most have a single pci slot
You willing...
Its not that its so great timings its that with DDRII being the next supported memory type good timings were supposedly gone for ever as the better chips have been phased out.
