<0> I've got the X1800 XL, and eventually want to get an X1800 XT or another X1800 XL and run a crossfire setup.
<1> thxx guys
<1> i also hope it will work
<0> damn.. Radeon X1800 XT for $289: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102698
<2> sure
<1> cya ;)
<0> Talk about bang for the buck :)
<2> another super duper jackoffsystem
<3> could I damage anything if i set the mainboard's cpu clock rate to 132 when the cpu's a 333mhz bus?
<4> no
<0> regnay nah, you'd just be underclocking it.
<0> 333 FSB, I'm guessing that's an AMD Athlon XP or Sempron, right regnay?
<3> cool, so it's safe to run higher/newer cpus in older systems? (maxing the mainboard is safe?) :P
<3> Sempron running in a K7T Turbo
<0> Yeah :) You can find the max it takes... I think the highest Athlon XP is a 3200 with a 400 fsb.
<2> omg
<2> no
<2> don't do that
<4> lol
<3> i'm just wondering about the voltage.. it says 3.3 in the bios setup - is that right?
<2> yep
<2> thats an ollllldddd board
<3> not that old.... :P
<2> yes it is
<4> yea it is
<2> kt133a chipset
<2> thats circa 99-2000
<0> It's only a few years old, still fine for basic use.
<2> maybe early 2001?
<0> Wouldn't want it for a gaming rig though :)
<3> i have a KT4V mainboard, but for some reason, it hangs and won't detect the cpu
<2> yeah
<3> so i gave up on it and went to one of my older ones ;/
<2> throw them away
<3> .. even got a pci diag card to doublecheck ;/ and it says bad cpu also (oddly, the cpu works on this old board though :D)
<3> oh, worked on my new board too, so i'm guessing the kt4v is bad
<5> are the lifespans of CRT and LCD screens about the same?
<5> or can an LCD outlive a CRT, say if you replace the backlight
<0> _judas_ I had a 19" CRT for 8 years.. still working fine now. Only stopped using it because I got a 20" Apple LCD as my Xmas present to myself last year. I expect this LCD to last for ages too.
<5> 8 years is pretty good, what brand was it?
<2> flat panel lcd has no backlight
<3> CRTs last long ... haven't owned my LCD long enough to compare, but my 21" CRT has been with me for 8 years now..
<2> to replace
<3> but there is shapes stuck on the screen
<3> hehe
<0> _judas_ It was a Hitachi.
<2> only rear projection screens - lcd, dlp, lcos have lamps to replace.
<5> i thought lcd's have cold cathode tubes to light em up
<2> heh
<2> those won't run out
<2> besides
<2> U can not replace them
<2> in a flat panel
<5> u can definitely replace them
<2> heh
<2> no.
<2> just get a new screen after 10+ years
<5> i've replaced them on thinkpads before
<2> good for u
<5> well you said you couldn't replace them
<2> so why are you even ehre?
<5> because i wanted to know if an LCD will outlive a CRT if you keep replacing the backlight
<5> you'd know if you read my question
<2> I did
<2> but the screen itself?
<2> sure
<2> it should last 20 eyars like like a crt
<3> oh, what should the clock ratio be for the sempron 2400..rated at 1.667ghz?
<2> yeah
<0> amd has frequency tables showing that on their website
<0> Helps for people like me who often forget :)
<3> ohh
<6> There is a New poker website under development, it is in the final testing period and right now we are Playing some FREEROLLS for $50 and $150 Tournaments.
<6> We would be happy if you would come and play and hopefully beat us at the table.
<6> http://www.pokerdream.com/welcome
<6> Some Extra info:
<6> Rake 50%, run your own table and many other nice stuff.
<3> er...
<3> http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/details.aspx?opn=SDC2400DUT3D states 1.667GHz @ 333mhz... thus i'm ***uming 166mhz clocked @ 10x
<2> yep
<3> is it safe to go more than 10x since i'm capped at 132mhz bus?
<0> Isn't the CPU multiplier locked?
<3> not on this board...
<0> Cool :)
<0> You might be able to go higher
<3> is that... good?
<2> no
<2> throw the board away
<2> ur are not gaining performance
<3> since the bus is stuck at 132mhz, wouldn't gain any speed... i see that...
<2> not gaining performance
<2> its a slow board
<2> still on sdram
<0> regnay I'd increase the multiplier up 0.5, then see how stable the system runs. Keep repeating that until you get to near 1667mhz.
<0> Which would be a multiplier of like 12.5 if the FSB is at 133 (266).
<2> seriously
<2> get a new board
<2> faster chipset, new rams
<2> gain 30-40% in performance
<0> I'd say make do with what you have until you can do a full upgrade :)
<0> Buying another Socket A motherboard doesn't make much sense.
<7> Q: Why would anyone like to buy a matrox card?
<8> A: specialty displays and data
<8> for instance.. how easy is it for you to use a shelf card to synchronize one image across 16 monitors?
<7> Aha, I see
<7> So if I had a matrox card that would be very easy?
<8> yes
<8> both on hardware and driver level
<8> it's not really for the consumer... it's for the large business
<7> Ok, thanks. :-)
<8> np
<9> having a good irc day today Geofu?
<8> yeah, i guess.. haven
<8> haven't even bothered with other channels
<9> ic
<8> i need a new keyboard... vomited in this one... spilled a gl*** of water in it... and i think it's growing hair
<9> lol
<9> what made you vomit
<8> nausea from gallbladder removal symptoms
<8> i ate ice cream..
<9> eww
<8> ice cream == high fat...
<8> i stay away from dairy mainly
<9> i like dairy
<8> i use olive oil for everything..
<9> but im allergic to milk
<9> but its ok unless i drink alot
<8> stay clear of things like lettuce, tomato, bananas, anything with small seeds
<8> i only eat like 99% fat free or boneless/skinless chicken for meat
<8> i haven't shat solid for 16 months (since my gallbladder removal)
<2> THATSSOMTHINGIREALLYWANTEDTOKNOWKTHANKS
<8> occasionally i'll eat something i'm not supposed to... then i'll get pains that feel like i have a knife lodged in my ribs and back
<9> woohoo
<8> varies from 1 hour to 8
<8> if it wasn't for my martial arts training, i'd probably be rolling around like a little wimp
<8> i thought i was tolerant of pain before... the gallbladder made me like 3x more tolerant
<8> damnit
<8> you have to sign to get Mucinex D now..
<9> i think ppl use it to make meth
<9> thats why
<8> i was thinking that also, but it doesn't say sudafedrin as an ingredient... not sure what other ingredients would be used
<8> carbomer 934P NF, FD&C yellow #6 aluminum lake, hypromellos, USP, magnesium stearate NF, microcrystalline cellulose NF, sodium starch glycolate NF
<8> active ingredients: guaifenesin 600 mg, pseudoephedrine HCI 60 mg
<8> guess it's the pseduoephedrine
<8> you'd be one sleepy bitch if you made it out of that... because, it made me drowsy for like 30 minutes
<8> i weigh like 300 pounds
<8> they had to give me like 3 things to knock me out in the hospital... and they took a while to take effect
<8> i got to like 2-3 on the anestisia they gave me for gallbladder surgery
