so u r saying that i cant put new graphics card and it will shutdown my computer. even if i upgrade power supply. some link or any reference.
if you get a better psu that is compatable with the gpu it will work. if your psu does not produce enough power for the gpu it will shut down. can any1 tell me which agp card would give me the most punch for my pound, it will be running at 10/12 res and i would like as much eye candy as pos with out breaking the bank. i have also read that there an agp 6800 that u can unlock 4 extra pix pipelines ne1 know about that? ne help would be great, thanks
There isn't any reference, because it isn't true, dreamer. Sony doesn't use proprietary hardware watermarking like Dell and are compatible with whatever the software/hardware/chipsets will allow. marsey99, This thread already covered the best AGP card to use (with suffient power). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143046
jallen thanks for that, and i know thats best money can buy but thats not quite what i asked. that card is nearly £400 and that is twice the price the rest of the components inside my case.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Nvidia_AGP_Graphics_Cards.html It's the second one down and priced at £193.86. Delivery from overclockers is usually £9.
thanks for that but that price is still abit out of my price range at the min. any recomendations for around £100 to £150 i think i can sneak that under my misses radar. i dont need it to be top of the line as i will only be running it @ 1280 by 1024 and compared to my msi gf fx5500 td256 nearly all cards will give a massive improvement
Yeah definitely. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Nvidia_AGP_Graphics_Cards.html 5th one down, the 7600GT. That's a good AGP card.
Hehe thanks! What makes mine a bit different to the others is that I had to work and save my bum off to afford it (even though my parents contributed), I'm not just some rich guy!
i know that feeling, thats why i cant get the bfg 7800 gs oc as much as id love 1 i wasnt going to to get another agp i was going to get new mobo and cpu but the am2 doesnt seem that much of an improvement over 939. and now theres conroe, and the amd + ati thing, and the new k8l chip amd have got in the works. so iv decided to keep this rig for another 12/18 months till i know which way to go so thats why i want a new one thanks again on a dif topic have you had any probs with your 6280? mines gone back to the shop 3 times and is going back again this week
No I haven't yet. Well spotted on noticing I have one, I had no idea I'd mentioned it! No it seems fine, whereas the very similar N80 my brother has is definitely faulty, taking forever and a day to do anything, pausing for 30 seconds every so often, and having an appalling battery life. The only problem I have with my phone is that occasionally I won't get a network signal randomly. But that is also true of my dad's 3100 when my SIM is put in it, so I think I have a faulty SIM card. The phone recognised my Dad's SIM straight away and got a signal. I put mine back in and nothing. Two hours later it was all fine. My overall opinion though of high-end Nokia handsets is that they're not very well made. My brother's had a 6260 which went wrong, has been sent back and since gone wrong again, a 6630 that also failed, and the N80 failed almost from new. The low end stuff like the phones I've previously had, a 3310 and 6610i have been fine, but the complicated phones aren't great. I initially wanted a Samsung Z400, but they told me that cost money if you ordered it via the phone (how you had to do it to get free weekend calls) and that the 6280 was free, so I got that. I quite like it, but it's annoying how slide phones can't have covers, the screen is pretty mucky already after only having had it for 3 1/2 weeks.
its on the side next to your landline in the pic of your pc. it must just be mine. first they said it was resarting at random because my bat was too small, new 1 didnt fix it so they reinstalled the software which stopped the 3g stuff working, another software install and now the front cam has green and red lines runnig threw it. i was going to see if they would swap it for 1 of those n80s but i might not now. bak to your pc, its a lexa? coz they are sexy cases
Well done on seeing it from that picture, I wouldnt have been able to guess! Yeah I don't think many of the expensive Nokias are better than each other. It's just annoying they've kept messing up getting it repaired. Being on contract makes it slightly easier to obtain a new phone if something happens. Yeah the case is a Lexa (see sig).
my bad, i only read the top line of your sig once it started bout your dvd drive i kinda tuned out sorry
LOL I must re-order it then! I used to mention having a 160GB Caviar in an Akasa external box (I still do by the way) but I now have two more IcyBox enclosures on the way for 250GB drives. If I listed all those, the signiature'd be huge!
is that the box on the left? p+p from overclockers is £8 and i think i will be getting 1 at the end of the month thanks for the nfo
is there any difference between bfg and pny companioes or both same. i ordered bfg one BFG GeForce 7600 GS OC 512MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-031-BG)
BFG seem to offer better features and support for their products, and in addition, BFG cards are usually slightly overclocked so they perform mildly better. I have an NZXT Lexa, as my signiature says ;-)
