New Theory: AMD's CPU Throttling damaged the power supply. by
Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Hello,
I have a new theory how the power supply got damaged:
AMD's X2 3800+ dual core processor has CPU Throttling.
I downloaded a special AMD Software tool called AMD Power Monitor or

6800GS_IN, 9800Pro_OUT by
Ed Forsythe
Hi Troops,
After much deliberation I finally decided to deep six my venerable
9800Pro/128 and replace it with a 6800GS/AGP. I'm trying to decide between
the eVGA and the XFX cards. Both are clocked and have 350MHz cores and
1000MHz memory. The only difference is that the XFX has dual DVI while...

Open GL by
Pat
I'm new at this, but what is open GL and what is the benefit? I'm going to
be upgrading my video card, but right now I have a Radeon 7500. I have a
AMDXP 2000+. Should I install 1.0 gig DDR? What do I need to do to play
DOOM 3?
TIA,

The correct way to install new drivers? by
PRIVATE1964
If you right-click on the display adaptor and choose update driver, then
select manual install, there is no option to 'pick from list'
There is that option if you do it from device manager.
I usually uninstall the old drivers through add and remove, then when Windows
restarts I cancel it before...

Detonator 51, 5900, and image quality by
magnulus
OK, much has been made recently about how NVidia doesn't run fast enough for
HL 2, that it won't look as good in DX 9, etc. I got a hold of the free
release Aquamark 3 and leaked 51.57 detonator drivers. I thought I'd
perform a test of my own.
First, the test systems:
Radeon 9700 Pro

See:-

Please note the last paragraph of the article, specifically the last
two lines. Seems as if nvidia has something even more spectacular up

The buggiest game I have ever run and the only game which I have to
constantly restart to try and get rid of glitchy graphics, sticking

AGP speed 2X,4x,8X: What it really means! by
Chris Madsen
The number only refers to the transfer rate of the AGP bus, which is an
extension of the PCI bus. Yes, faster is better but it primarily aides
in reducing load time of the texture data to the video cards local
memory therefore frames per sec increase is negligible at best. 3D
