Did i said sumthing wrong??? . well,soree if i did.im jes a noob anyway.... . still,its cool to be here....learnt alot from u guys.
Lol... ,i see isee.ooppss....actually all i did was jes did sum stuffs on the sinks and cooling component on the card.it was having much strange behavior last time.also i flashed a OC'ed bios to increase the mem clock from its default 300,which i think its still far from its really top speed.is there any risk in this?other than voiding my warranty tat is, . also,any gud ddr500 ram under rm200??or around tat.am using ddr400 now,cant do oc at 1:1.fsb at 250 jes fine now. looking forward to tat...
Youp dont have to flash any bios to get higher clocks. What you could use is either RADLINKER : http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=609 or ATI TOOL: http://atitool.ocfaq.com/ Radlinker is very cool as it allows you to give diffferent settings for different games. ATI Tool is kinda good coz it checks artifacts for you. Both can increase your clock speed. But remember to raise it bit by bit, and stress test with 3dmark or something. Make sure you're not getting artifacts too. btw, for your ram, maybe you should up the voltage a on the processor and ram (ram not over 2.8v processor, not over .3v of its stock voltage). Start a thread in the overclocking section if you need anything else. My bro's pc is at 2.4C @ 3.3Ghz. Mem divider is 5:4 too(I think.... )
But seriously, you would save a lot of money doing more research before buying! A lot more work at first, a lot more money in the end!
i'm now using the Suma GF4MX440 64mb 270/400 128bit DDR, planning to sell it and get a new Radeon 9600 Pro...is it the right time to upgrade now?
Which is why it's important to tell us your budget and we will try to find the best card to fit into your budget!
ROTFL! So, you have defected to the Dark Side! Is that a typo? 256MB ATI Radeon 9600? Or do you mean the Radeon 9800 Pro/XT?
