I'm building a computer for my boss and he's interested in having 3 monitors.. Would a saphire 9800 pro be able to support 3 monitors? (any additional hardware needed?) Is it possible to turn 3 monitors into one elongated screen? (splitting one image/display into 3 segments)

Those benchmarks listed for a $4000 comp are weak as hell...i'm getting very close to that with a $1250 comp built with love at home. Bench's listed in sig....if i bouight better ram and cooling i could easily pass those scores..so it looks like a waste of money.

thanks OtakarJr, the rex500 wins...the fax isn't needed enough to warrant the $50 .

thanks djnes it's the hp psc2410

*bump* anyone?

When i originally posted this i had the stock setup score in my sig..i've updated it since then..stock speed score was 19,627 in 2001

Thanks guys I installed the new drivers and d/led aquamark3. I set my vid card on all the highest settings and got 29,976. Would i see much improvement if i, a. buy a Thermalright SP-97, bump my voltages and get around 2.2+ ghz @ 400 mhz fsb (running 2.05@372 fsb now) b. buy a...

well guys, i had it set on master and that was obviously causing my serious delays because as soon as i changed it to cable select it booted and detected so fast that i didn't even have time to hit F4 for bios;)

heh, i guess i should be glad that i built my first system and the only hitch i ran into was a misplaced jumper on my hdd:D ...but that's kind of embarrassing:rolleyes: anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys oh, btw OMG i love this computer!!:eek:

I was hoping I could come in here and talk about how much I loved my new system running flawlessy...but...I think I'm in over my head. installed: nf7-s 2500 barton 2x 512 ram 9800 pro wd caviar 80 gb cd-rw floppy the comp posts, recognizes the 1 gig of ram and says it's in dual...

thanks for the info

yeah, is that too many?

Well, my parts are going to arrive in the next 2 days. I've been so wrapped up in the research/ordering adrenaline rush and I just realized I haven't even planned my 80gb partition layout. I have only used win xp a few times and know very little about it's differences from 98se. I'm...

powmax is not on the most wanted psu list try to stick with one of the following brands for solid performance and reliability Antec True series Fortron Sparkle go to newegg.com and have a look at their quality

AMD's require matched fsb/memory speed for optimum performance. As for the differences in ram, usually the higher price the ram is the better the latency(speed). The lower the cas is, the faster the memory functions. Most value ram is cas 3, and tends to run at it's stated specs allowing...

I had previously ordered an AMD64 3200 rig, but that was cancelled due to unfortunate delays with my bank. So, since I had more time to research and compare I finally ordered the following rig (money in hand, so no problems this time:) ) Antec Sonata Abit NF7-S v2 2500 Barton Corsair...

performance gains are ~3% running dual on amd.

go in bios and set it to boot from cd instead of floppy.

water/fragrance/lanolin etc. = fillers but you're good with the 99%..no worries

Thanks for the help guys. The motherboard is dead.

no, the monitor stays in standby mode like the computer is turned off. I tried my monitor and i get the same with it.

No upgrades have been done to this comp. i checked the memory and vid card, even put another vid card in and still nothing.

My ex-girlfriends computer is acting crazy(kind of like her i guess:rolleyes: ) anyway, i know very little about this comp. when the power is turned on the motherboard lights up(4 red lights in a row and 2 other red lights), the cpu fan turns on and the optical drives light up and i can...

I had planned to get the 9700pro but when i upgraded to the athlon 64 i had to downsize the vid card to stay close to $1000 as for the floppy, they're always nice to have and since they're so cheap i would kick myself later for not having one. ultimate boot disk needs a floppy so that in...
