I have a Radeon 8500LE, XP1700+, and 512Mb DDR RAM. After a bit of bios tweaking, I score a sniff under 7800, so your machine is underperforming somewhere. Get tweaking that bios, you should be able to pull it up to 8000 at least. Just remember how to reset it if you fuck it up.

I don't think i should itchy, i don't know if you remember about my ram problem(256 performing better than 512!!)but i really do think its a mobo problem, what tweaks in bios would you suggest?

Don't want to appear rude but:

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU FEEL THE NEED TO UPGRADE FROM THAT?


That 1 gig would have seen you through for at least another year.

In a years time you could be buying a 4 Gig machine for the same price as buying your 2 Gig now.

Lucky kid (and dad ).

Still stuck with Athlon TB 900 + GF2 GTS here and likely to be for the foreseable future.

Well, you're younger than me m8, you got a young family as I recall, its bound to be a bit tougher innit ?
These days I earn good money (reasonably !) , I have a mortgage of only 45 grand or something -and yes I live in the south!- so I can afford little things I want now and then. After all, thats what we work for aint it ?
When my eldest was a baby I lived in a rented house, I was 24 and we had nothing at all, not a pot to piss in, but if you stick at it you get what you want in the end, well some of it !
/god dont I sound old...

 

[Ono]

Yeah fair enuff Throd.

It's been belt tightening since my Missus quit work to look after the kids as well. We both earned more or less the same money.


I am thinking of moving out of London (my house has gone up by about £100k in value on cost price) and moving to some shit-hole like Milton Keynes or sommat.

 

[Wilier]

[old.D0LLySh33p]

Oh, and I have heard very disturbing rumours about brother/sister love in that area.
