Don't underestimate the Geforce 4Ti's, I have a 4200 ( the slowest one ) and it's faster than any of the Geforce FX's except maybe the Fx5600 Ultra, FX5700 & Ultra version and the FX5900 & Ultra version.MuLLet_MaN_69 wrote:8O He has a Celeron 1.33Ghz
and 256Mb 233 SDRam
and a Geforce Ti, but the worst 1(duno what that is)
when i bought my GPU, the heatsink was loose
do u think that has anything to do with it???
is it just that my card is bad or that theres something wrong

Probably, the Radeon 9600XT's have dropped quite a bit, you should be able to get one in the R1800 range now. The higher end cards will probably drop quite a bit too.

You cannot seriously expect a 1.7 gig Willamette-based Celly to try and compete with a 2.4 NorthwoodMuLLet_MaN_69 wrote:I have the following specs :

And, yes, it is entirely possible that a 1.33Gig PIII-based Celly with a Ti4200 will knock the socks of a 5600/Willamette-based setup.....because of the very slow clock/small cache/long pipeline of the Willy core compared to the small 8-stage pipeline of the PIII based Celly with a much better ipc.....
Why not get yourself a better chip, you could probably get a 2nd hand 2.4B for around R600-R750 or so......will more than double your performance....

Only skim read this page, but it could be your proccessor. I know that Celerons are the Intel budget baby and they are not as fast as P4's

andyddr over at planetmars can sell you brand new 9800xts for around 3700 and 9800pros for around R2600 - it may just be that you will have to pay postage ands insurance since he is in capetown - give him a PM and ask him if he has any left - ps those are retail prices and not only for dealersWhat about the 9800XT
is it still like R6000 or somewhere there
