You must be some serious overclocker... I got 6 fans total in my computer (1 on CPU, 1 on the GeForce II, 1 on Northbridge I think [the one with VIA icon on it] , 2 Chassis case fan, 1 Power supply fan) This is what happens if you don't have ENOUGH fans... <img src="http://www.zzz.com.ru/pic56.jpg"> Why not use your CPU heat to do something useful...like: <img src="http://www.zzz.com.ru/pic41.jpg">

But I paid loads extra so I have two that work in parallel which means it can transfer data at twice the normal speed......Hell, I rarely get to see loading screens with my PC.......lol........and I only upgraded it for JK2

Obi Kwan Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 i just purchased a new comp 6 months ago but I only purchased 128 mb of ram Its been years since I've bought additional ram and I have no clue as to how to shop for it. Can anyone give me a link or some suggestions as to what I need to look for? I realize that memory comes in various forms these days, but i dont even know how to check what TYPE of ram I have!

CaptainRAVE Posted January 20, 2002 Author Posted January 20, 2002 This is why I upgraded for JK2............. MY old system : P2 233 o/c to 291 Mhz 4.2 GB HDD 24x CD Rom Only 64MB...and NOT DDR Ram Voodoo 3 3000 16Mb Only 2 speakers !! Now that is why I upgraded........oh yea, and because my Dad was paying and I caught him in a good mood........I also told him I needed it for work in college
JekRendar Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I spit on the people that have Atholon *tries to spit* Darn I don't have any spit!
matt-- Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I read in numerous places that the Athlon outperforms Pentiums. That's price to performance. So a cheaper athlon will do better than an expensive P4. I don't have the numbers on hand though. And Athlons an handle more instructions per clock cycle.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 20, 2002 Author Posted January 20, 2002 Pretty much everyone will agree with you there, even people with Pentiums. I cetainly agree with you. The 1.4Ghz Athlon is almost as good as the 2Ghz Pentium 4. Some games it is better, some it is worse, but the overall results are close.
Outlaw Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I upgraded not to long ago to an Intel P4 2.0 with 512 megs of PC800 memory. Videocard is a Geforce 3 ti 200 with 64 megs of ram. I find performance extremely fast and stable with the latest games and demos. I'm running at very high resolutions in 32bit color on a 19 inch Sony Trinitron monitor. Please remember when games and drivers take better advantage of the P4 instruction sets performance will increase even further.
