Master the Longbow Apache and you will OWN! Anybody care to try me?? ;)

Yep I have jumped the fence and built me a peeee 4. Being a long time AMD fan I decided it was time to bail. Stay tuned for some very interesting benchies compared to my AMD rig. New Peeee 4 Intel 2.8C 800 mhz fsb cpu Asus P4C800E - Deluxe mobo Kingston Hyper X pc3500 ram 512 mb ATI Radeon 9700 Pro - Omega Cats. 3.9

Did a little clocking on this one 2.8c stock = 14 * 200 this run = 14 * 219 ATI Radeon 9700 pro cat 3.10's 360/340

I am seeing and increase of about 100 pts in 3dmarks and also in battlefield 1942/desert combat when i am in a game and hit escape to go to the main menu I am no longer crashing as I was with cat 3.9`s. I have also found the omega drivers work very well! http://www.omegacorner.com

Now its time for some 3DMARK :) no clockin... card and cpu at stock using Cat. 3.10's

Abit is good.. I have NEVER had problems with them. You know me though, I never have problems ;)

Hey BEER, just got my rig up and running tonight, installation went flawless and went straight to 200 FSB out of the box :). Here are the specs. Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0 AMD 2100 Tbred 256 MB Kingston HyperX PC3500 Ati Radeon 9700 pro Win2K Pro Will post some 3dmark 2003 later.

Yup you def. need a ram upgrade, for $70 you can get a 256mb stick of Kingston HyperX pc3500 from newegg.com. I have mine up to 217 fsb which is the rated speed for the ram 434mhz (217x2). Mem timings 11.2.2.2.

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 3.44 cats

Windows Flash Utility says it all! I will never flash a bios thru windows. Asking for serious probs! Be wise and use AWDFLASH.EXE.

Hey BEER... ordered me a ABit NF7-S from newegg and got a REV 2.0. Picked up a stick of pc3500 kingston hyperX to go along with it. Will post some screenies when I get in from the ship. By the way how in the heck did you smoke 2 cpus?

I clocked up the card on this run. Core Clock = 360 Mem Clock = 330 I am very well pleased with this card! Compare URL http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=888222

My motherboard only supports APG 4x at the highest. Had to install DirectX 9.... Here is my first default run with 2003.
