N00b - when u say ur leaving please leave... dont forget to close the door behind you... oh ill close the door i will - right in your petty little face you stupid little cake Were not so closed as you think you are right you all are more closed than you think Its just when an opinianated S.O.B like...

does this mean that if I get a new mobo or any new hardware I will have to buy a new copy changing one or two items wont matter eg adding more ram to the same machine - but changing the entire machine ie cpu/mobo/ram/hdd will mean yes to answer that question I also have a DSP copy of Windows 2000 a...

Although, I don't really believe starting/getting involved in a flamewar is actually worth it at the end of the day. It's more effort than it's worth! okay dom and scarlet spider - i have tried the other route of trying to only post helpful informative stuff but at most of the way i was met with a ...

is this normal? nope - since i know for a fact that your system specs with a radeon 9800pro instead of a 9600pro will give you around 18000 points out of the box and with a bit of system tweaking will give you 20000 with no overclocks and with some overclocking is capable of 23000 points even witho...

WTF Then little n00b laps this up and tries to prove his loyalty to his new found guru (Agamemnon) by stating that everyone else on these forums are a waste of time. And the he (n00b) calls for moderation coz people dare disagree with the weird talking dude (Agamemnon). i call for moderation - dude ...

Infact it's real easy to stop my self from coming in here and B**ch slap you you are welcome to try - stupid **** I'm not going to ask how old you I'm kinda worried that your mother sue's me. im old enough to be your father - but i dont remember your mother :wink: so i guess im not then wait..wait ...

nvidia is only strong in doom 3 because john carmack has created a vendor specific path for it which will ensure that nvidia cards will be able to be strong in it - when you remove that path and use ARB then ATI and nvidia perform around the same how many coders are going to bow down to the wishes o...

ATI left in the dust...

do the words x800pro (due 26th april) mean anything to you - and do the words x800XT (due in june) mean anything else - compare apples to apples - lets see what happens when ATI unveil their own new stuff man

official halflife2 card = ATI 9800 series

more said

number of people who will play halflife more than doom = unknown

number of people in this forum who talk nonsense = large

Hi screeper i do take your point about me generalising too much but in my defence i would like to point out that everytime i did do what you suggest i was hit with derision and argument - especially from the guys mentioned in my post above - i would like to admit that i really should have no reason ...

now heres a guy that makes sense - thats the origional poster here.............................that is - as usual anybody who is on the head with any info is crapped on - which is why all knowledgable people piss everone off here - cos no one here knows **** all and wants to act big **** shots - guy...

LOL guys i was going to stop wasting my time posting in this forum - but i cannot remain silent at the ignorance here - the 6800 has been news for over a month - it is in fact the long awaited nv40 which is being relleased tonight - and im sure guys are gonna say that the R420 is an april fools joke...

well yeah psycho crittur - i piss a lot of people off since there are a whole bunch of opinionated idiots in this forum - its supposed to be a pc related forum but i can see im wasting my time here - since the only guys who really do have a clue seem to be thrall and bondi and a few other guys like ...

Now, bug off and dont reply ot my posts again... My opinion, my life... well you silly little dumb willy - then dont mention me in your silly little posts then shall we ........... as for bugging off - keep on the track you are going on my little friend - you will soon learn as for your opinion - i...

okay guy - your underststanding of clock frequency is somewhat incorrect - your clock frequency would be your multiplier figure multiplied by your fsb figure to give a total frequency thus you can adjust your front side bus (fsb) to adjust your frquency even if your multiplier is locked most intel m...

{Please keep quiet n00b, this is my opinion and Im sticking to it} hell yeah dude - you are welcome to have an opinion since opinions are like buttholes - everyone has to have one - only problem is yours are like S_H_I_T gone bad for a month and insulting everyone else who has an opinion different ...

nice ysaban - i need to overclock my t-bred cpu to the max to beat that score with a similiar graphics card - but im waiting for dual channel A64 before i upgrade - snowy maybe you should sell off all your older parts and put a bit more and get an A64 rig too

do yourself a favour and do not use the intel mobo's since those do no have enough features and bios adjustments - since even if you dont overclock you will be able to tweak some additional performance out of your system with some adjusting and experimentation - also to get enough headroom for upgra...

"k" sorry for my agressive reply but anyway im sure that you will find what you are looking for at corex or frontosa - heres a link for the item at frontosa http://www.frontosa.co.za/IT/vantec/cablesleeving.htm (click blue text for the link) - these guys wont give you a price since they ar...

BTW don't you think you should change your nick, as you are nolonger a n00b?!? LOL - dont wanna have too many nicknames here - i was registered here previously under a different name and guys didnt want to bother about me or bothered me too much so i changed my nick - anyway thanx for saying that i...

sorry for two posts in a row - totally forgot to mention above that the prescott has a longer pipeline ie 31 stage as opposed to the 20 stage of the northwood so its most likely going to be slower despite having double the amount of L2 cache - the prescott will improve as it scales to above 4ghz whi...

Any of you out there got some serious ice? okay this probably wont count as serious as cale24 would want it but ive just spent around R5000 on my car system - got myself a pioneer mp3 player with a 5 channel amp with built in crossovers with one 10 inch sub (dont want too much bass) as well as a se...

snowy - they are nice chips - but they run a bit hot - so i wouldnt buy a prescott to do any overclocking even though they can overclock substantially - but im gonna assume you wish to run it at stock speeds - but those still run a bit toasty so id stick to an equivalent northwood which will not run...

LOL yeah solo - i know you didnt pay retail - but almost most anyone else who attempts this stuff isnt gonna get the prices we will get (nudge nudge ....wink....wink) LOL also my bad about forgetting the radiator - and fans - add in a grand into the total you get above (anybody interested in high 3d...

btw Noob when you planning on getting some of the benchmarking PIE for urself? oh im gonna be there soon enough though obviously not in this user nick - maybe you know my other forum nick fishzn - i think you do - as does solo it seems LOL - im gonna rejoin the fray when i can get an almost 30k rig...
