    Graphics Card OC question

    Started by excaliber,

    Hi all, I've got my Radeon 9500 overclocked a little, but have only dabbled with it. Im sure I have not pushed it to its edge. I have a few questions. Which gives more performance: Core clock or Memory clock? Should I push the core as high as I can before artifacts, then start inching up the Memory? Other way around? Inch both up at the same time? Thanks

    HyperThreading, but not advertised?

    Started by mutant,

    With the purchase of my last computer I got a decent processor, P4 2.4GHZ. Without HyperThreading. Today I installed 3DMark03 to see the test that everyone is talking about :). Well then I look at the system specs the program gathered. What got me thinking is the HyperThreading section. It is marked as Available but Disabled. Could it be one of those "blockades" to make to make the processor cheaper or did 3DMark03 simply got the wrong info. If HyperThreading was indeed available on my proc that would be interesting :).

    Apache :(

    Started by MikeJ,

    I'm not quite sure where to put this, so I'll do it in the General Software. Does anyone know why Apache has a mind of its own? It runs services fine, until I decide to do anything with them... Should I download the most recent Apache? Does anyone know of any bugs? I'm specifically referring to UnrealIRCd. I'm trying to host the IRC server for the Null Programming network, but for some reason Apache gives me an error when I try to run it. I haven't changed anything at all, it's just decided not to run! Has anyone encountered this problem before? I'm using Win XP Home, btw. EDIT: Let me clarify this a bit. I have Apache Server on my computer. Up until ab…

    Removal and installation of a motherboard

    Started by mutant,

    Hello :) For some time I have been thinking now about changing the moterboard in my computer. My reason for that is my new video card supports AGP8x and my current motherboard doesn't support AGP8x. Also the one I was looking at supports up to 4GB (or 2, I don't quite remeber :)), and my current one only up to 1GB. Well, the problem is how to intall that monster. I dug up my old computer and started experimenting. I'm not sure how to take off the processor, rest looks easy enough. Does anybody know of any resources that I couild look up about installation of a motherboard? I tried searching, but couldn't find anything that would help me, or in other case im not very good…
