@TechHead... yeah its CAV anyway. No burner can burn at 12X constant :). Can we get the TDK media in cake boxes? I hate buying single pieces. Comes out to be far more expensive than cake boxes.

Using Liggy and Dee's hacked firmware for ND3500A. (Check cdfreaks)That allows overspeeding on lots of discs without loss in writing quality.
Edit: Sony 4X +R (Ricohjpn 01)
Seems pretty good. The high end ones are more expensive cos of larger platter sizes. The Maxtor 300GB/16MB model looks really good.
LOL that board only supports DDR. Sunny is right :P
Get the AMD config. The intel one will suck for games especially with the onboard crap. Get a single stick of 512MB. The AMD 754 chips are single channel. Get a liteon DVD ROM and not a samsung.
That is one hell of a mobo for that price... I got it for a few days b4 i got my deluxe. The only things missing are the gigabit lan, the SI SATA controller and firewire. For 5.5K or so its an...
15.5K for a 9800XT is not really a bad price. You could have gone for it. How much did you get the 9600 pro for?
Yup... A 9800 pro would have been a much much better option. The 6600GT is something like 3 times as fast as a 9600 pro. Frankly anything below a 9800 pro will last not more than 6 months in latest...
Stock performance of the Socket 754 will be better. The 939 will overclock better. (Unless u get a really good CG stepping clawhammer. Mine does 2.6GHz). The 939 is a better bet for upgradability as...
27.5K. BTW mediatech is no longer gainward's distributor. Mine was the last batch of cards they procured.
Why would anyone buy the XFX 6800GT at that price then? The gainward goldensample is cheaper than that! BTW forgot to mention, got my 6800GT golden sample cards yesterday. Will post benches soon.
4 of them. Gainward goldensample GTs
Hm... those losers haven't sent the GTs yet... Booked on Dec 17th. Still not arrived. Out of stock it seems. I got socket 754 machines only. The 939 chips were a little out of budget.
Edit: no...
It doesn't even run on my machine. BSODs just after the intro video :S ... on all drivers since Cat 4.10
Prepaid... i'm using airtelwap.com as the access point so its definitely not masala!
Hey WAP still works on my airtel connection for free. Its not limited to masala.
Thats rather low. It looks very plastic though.
How much does it cost?
Now what is that cabby? Looks neat!
Where ?? Those are way too low! The day I bought my new mobo, I found that 256meg kingston was costing 2K :S
BH-5 is Winbond BH-5 ICs. They are no longer made anymore. Until the TCCD samsung chips arrived, they were the only ones that could do 2-2-2-5 timings at DDR 400.
Well its no longer beautiful :). Gotta update it since there are lots of new cards (6600,x700,6200) that came up since I wrote this guide. It also doesn't make a distinction between PCI-E and AGP...
Well the big reason why the 6600 is faster is cos the NV4X architecture is very efficient. Clock to clock, the 400MHz NV4X matches a 500MHz R4XX(which is nearly the same arch as R3XX). So a 500MHz 8...
What is the exact error you are getting in it? That game is not officially compatible with XP.
Delete / Rename gimme.dll in the game directory and it should work fine.
I wholeheartedly support Aces. cngn ur comments have been really invaluable to TA since you joined. I think you are one of the posters with the highest signal to noise ratios. keep it up dude...
Not much different from Indian prices.... The gigabyte GT is 832*35 that is 29K!!! The gainward goldensample GT is 27K in India. Are you sure those are as low as they could get?
Not hundred percent sure of that. Most el cheapo HT setups suck really bad. Plus the electronics companies in India put output power figures as they please since there's no one to check. Most philips...
I'm averaging around 30-35 with the AA bar set to max. Wonder what that is... 4x or 6x. No clue.
Hey what settings are those? If they are at the highest settings, nvidia seems to have some driver issues with this game. It looks far better on my comp with a 9800. Check the screenies aces posted....
No reason why it shouldn't... Its the same engine as the old game. How well it runs is a big question mark though! BTW I'm halfway through the download. Should be done in a few hours.
Got to be the marine campaign of Alien vs Predator (Both 1 & 2). Undying wasn't really that scary... it was kinda comic... especially how all the ghosts looked.
Yup it is, but the vanilla X700 is better than the vanilla 6600.
I don't know what this guy is trying to prove. The only PCI Express cards from NV that are good are the 6800U, 6800GT and 6600GT. The vanilla 6600 gets owned by the X700 non pro. The 6200 cards fare...
Around 10KG with packaging.
Yeah MX5021 is rather good. But the price is inflated by the THX certification. I couldn't notice much difference between it and the 621 which costs half the price of the MX5021.
The VS3151 is good but the price difference between it and altec 251 is not justified. They sound nearly the same. The VS3151 has an external controller pod and flat speakers. So you are basically...
VS3151 is available from Zeta technologies. Price is outright insane - 9000 bucks.
XGI = Scam
Well some modes are undocumented. They exist but are not in supported list. For example the Samsung 997DF lists 1920x1440 as the highest resolution, but it can actually do 2048x1536. Even if you...
Thats 1280x1024, I'm talking about 1280x960 - the proper 4:3 resolution. I can bet a thousand bucks that it supports 1280x960@72.
Won't be by default... U'd have to set it manually in the config file, or use some tool to force 85Hz rate in directx games.
Most can... including the vanilla samsungs (753s, 773s,793s etc). Its undocumented so it won't show up in the list if u enable "hide modes that this monitor cannot display". Remove the check from the...
I guess that guy only has a 15" that doesn't do 1024@75. So well its best to run 800x600 @75 for him. If its a 17", the best res to use is 1280x960@72
I'm 99.99% sure that its a 9800SE and not a 9800 Pro. I saw that card for 10.7K a few days back.
Exactly... the only card NV ever sold of the FX range is the 5200 series of cards cos they performed ok for the price. The rest of them suck and have too bad a performance compared to ATI cards of...
After seeing the millions of posts asking the same question... what is the best card for X rupees, I felt that something needs to be done. Half of the the threads in this forum are filled with the...
9600XT is only SM2. X600 supports pixel shader 2b (which is a part of shader model 3 btw). Check this if you don't believe me:
http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/far_cry_ps2.0b/page5.asp
The X300 and X600 are not exactly the same core as the 9600. These support SM 2.0b, the 9600 core (RV360) supports SM 2.0 only
Hey Mods... why not pin this thing!
