Originally I was gonna buy a 40mm fan for my current CPU, a 350Mhz Pentium II, but when I saw the surprise delivery charge just as I was about to buy it I backed off. I ended up buying a Pentium III EB on eBay with a clock speed of 600Mhz and 133Mhz FSB which comes with a fan and a heatsink as well. …

Oh, that was quite a quick response. I'm glad to know it'll work (so long as I don't get the 8x version ???), thanks so much for your reply! Impressive 3D Mark results, too!

I've put a lot of thought into buying a new graphics card, but since Christmas is around the corner, I'm delaying my purchase. Not too long ago I began wondering if an AGP8x or 4x card could work with my motherboard (ASUS P2B with i440BX Chipset). I never really cared about AGP speeds before, I'm …

Wow, those are some nice results. I guess I'm getting the MX440 then, the AGP revision. I know this post is really dying and that I'm starting to get annoying, but I watched a video about the Radeon 9200 series yesterday and saw its advantages over the GF4. If I bought a Radeon it would be my first …

I've read on a couple websites that UT99 requires only 200MHz or so to run properly. The thing is, I'm just getting into the world of computer hardware and learned about bottlenecking and such. Would that MX440 be overkill for my CPU? Like I said earlier, it's a PII @ 350MHz and 100Mhz FSB (whatever …

Well I wouldn't run games that are too graphically advanced. The newest game I'd play would be Unreal Tournament GOTY. I just want it to run at at least 50fps (don't know if that's possible on the machine, it has a 350mhz Pentium II). I now have a chance to have 2 PC's on LAN and think it'd be great …

Long story short, my current graphics card is a TNT2 M64 of an unknown brand and it's really unstable since it crashes whenever it feels like it. I was wondering if I could use a GeForce4 MX440 with version 45.23 nVidia drivers and if it's a card actually worth considering. Any ideas?

It was actually not the printer port I disabled, it was being used by some USB to ISA controller which I somehow managed to change to IRQ4. Well, I wouldn't have used them anyway. I have DirectX9 installed and my motherboard is an ASUS P2B

Alright, I disabled the printer ports which allowed me to set the IRQ value to 5 and re-enabled the sound card. I also got the NVidia drivers you mentioned and after a lot of fiddling I made it work. I then tried a 3D game to see if it really could function properly but it crashed after about 30 …

Well first off, thanks for the quick reply and your welcoming! I've already tried setting the IRQ and DMA numbers to those supposedly used by Windows (in Device Manager it says the IRQ port is 9 and DMA 1. Set the BIOS up like that and nothing changed. I'm currently using Detonator 3 I think, will …

Hello, I'm pretty new here, I joined yesterday hoping I'd get some help regarding my computer. Looking over the different forum categories I saw there are sections for Graphics and Sound cards, however I'd like to ask for help about both in this post. I recently bought an old prebuilt Windows …
