How Is This Possible?

[john_malkie2010]

is ur case up to fitting the mobo in and what kinda psu have u got cos ur prob gonna need a new one....do u plan to oc the cpu as well??

i ran the 3dmark03 they had installed, and it got 2089. i just ran 3dmark03 on my rig, and i got 2583. wtf? how can a 9600 not oced beat a 9800?

I can't believe that this has run to 5 pages and no one has figured it out.
Even atiVidia has been oddly silent.
The reason that Abu scored higher is as obvious as the nose on your face.


LIGHTS!!!

Lots and lots of bright, shiny, cathode, LED lights!

People, people, people....put on your thinking caps.

Clocker your funny dude.

John, I will need a new case and PSU (3 year old Dell stuff right now).

Heres the SS...it has like 2 pics in one cuz i pasted 2 and i didnt mean to..but oh well it looks tight...ok I will put the SS in another post cuz uploadit.org wont work! so i have to go back and see the other sites! brb


Good deal on case that I think is pretty cool and a 300 watt PSU..u get the PSU for free

Total = $370

$300 is not really enough when u need a case, psu, mobo, cpu, ram.....im not saying it cant be done but if u could stretch to whats above then ud have a good system (that cpu will get to 3200+ quite easily as long as u stick to some good ram and a mobo that will let u get there)

Dude..I got that deal in my email..we got the same deal i find that really funny lol

Yep thats the exact same stuff I was looking at lol. Thanks.

Now about overclocking with that ram...when I raise the FSB of my CPU 200X11, which is what it will be, will that also mess with the ram or anything? and the timings of the ram can you change that? is it in the bios? thanks...STILL WORKING ON THAT SS

*EDIT*EDIT*- I just noticed that on the sticker for tha PSU it says "Pentium 4" on it....I guess we cant get this for the AMD?

[john_malkie2010]

u wont need to mess with the timings...the mem is pc3200 which at standard should be able to handle 200mhz with absolutly no probs...the kingston memory is very good and u should at 200mhz get timings of sumthin like 2,2,2,5 which is good...as long as you dont change anythin then the ram will default to the timings stored in its spd which for the kingston are possibly 2,2,2,5 but i cant remember

The PSU says Pentium 4 on it...can I still get that for an AMD system? John you still alive out there? lol

GOING TO PLAY MADDEN 2004! Be back in like 25 mins.

I don't think that the Pentium 4 sticker means that it won't work with your AMD.
300w is marginal IMO, though.
Maybe you can run a dual PSU?
That's my current project...
