I think that Pentium 4 775 are the worst options! They are warm, your system will be very hot! So you must use good cooler. His system is socket 478 :) In my opinion the best choice is to use athlon 64 939 agp platform for games under 2006! Perhaps something like this! PCI-E gives more choices when …

This is the 6th Geforce 8800 GTX I have bought this winter... and the 3rd working one. Finally I can mess around with G80 tripple SLI. XFX Pine Group Geforce 8800 GTX. The factory OC for this card is 630/1000 up from 575/900. The GPU on the Geforce 8800 Ultra is only clocked at 612 MHz so this card …

I like Sim City 2000 best when it comes to city-building games 😀 The Tropico games are pretty good. Not really city-building games but worth a mention. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropico

I straightened out the pins on 10 socket 478 CPUs I bought. In the auction picture the pins were streight. I told the seller "pack the CPUs with care because socket 478 pins are fragile." When I got the CPUs there were not a streight pin in sight. I managed to fix them all though but it took one and …

Win7 might be a good compromise, if you optimize it somewhat by turning off graphical effects and such. I installed it recently on my main desktop, and I find it makes better use of the computing power I have than XP64 did. I see no reason at all for using a new OS with a system this old. The …

Now I'm really starting to wonder about these results. Pentium M at 2.70 should not be that close to your C2D at 2.66. And Opteron 185 at 3.0/3.13 GHz should not be 13/31 fps faster than C2D E6700. Bizarre stuff. Do you have all DX9C updates installed? I just noticed a slight mistake on the …

Im pretty sure I have the same board, at least the two 32 bit slots looks exactly the same and the layout is very similar, its stored away at the moment though. I know nothing about the board and I have never used it.

I am bumping the thread with this somewhat period correct score. Pentium D 965 EE @ 4.6, Geforce 7900GTX. 1024*768 Ultra. http://u.cubeupload.com/jonaz81a/66dPentiumD965EE4600X48.jpg Here is the score with the CPU running at stock speed, not very impressive. The Pentium D EE seem to need really high …

Pentium D 965 EE @ 4.8 (air cooled) At this speed this CPU suffers from thermal throttling when running anything that causes heavy CPU load.

Yet another Netburst CPU with the Geforce 7900GTX, this time the Pentium D 965 EE. This CPU could probably produce a much higher score but with air cooling the CPU suffers from thermal throttling if I use more than 1.4V. With a normal Pentium D I got the option to disable thermal throttling in the …

Thats awesome score. And you cool it on the air? I cant get Gallatin anywhere. My RAM is Corsair 2x1GB PC3500 LL Pro CL2 That was with water but with a very temporary setup, the waterbock wasnt even mounted to the CPU, just placed on top of it. The air cooler I use for this system is a Zalman …

What do you say on X1950Pro? Will CPU limit that card? Yes. If you could find a Socket 478 Gallatin Pentium 4 EE 3.4 that would help with removing most of the CPU bottleneck. DDR400 2-2-2-5 memory will also help. I would expect a stock Gallatin 3.4 + Radeon X1950 Pro to score 24k - 25k in …
