Since I'm reinstalling my computers and making the switch to Windows 10 I'm also doing a lil bit of house cleaning. I like my systems to run lean and clean so the less stuff I install, the better, and having reviewed my actual needs vs. what I used to install systematically, here's what I've...

Hi there, I'm calling the most knowledgeable techies out there on this one. For a simple question. Would you happen to know what purpose serves this little capacitor on a GF4 Ti series. Detailed view as follows: A person I know found a remarkably similar capacitor hidden among the...

Just a heads up for you people with Windows 2000. Installing SP4 might result in a bug causing extreme slowdowns when shutting down the computer or logging off from a session with administrative privileges. You might be interested in checking out this link which goes over the issue...

Hi there, Just wondering if there was any good, reasonably recent CART / ChampCar (whatever you name it) racing simulation available at the moment. I liked the IndyCar racing series from Papyrus (I can even trace back my addiction to the venerable Indianapolis 500!), but it would seem they...

I was just wondering if any of you people could suggest a test which would definitely rule out the possibility my 9800 Pro is defective/incompatible with my hardware/whatever, or OTOH confirm this possibility. I just can't get it. Some people have the exact same setup as mine (same drivers, DX...

... Did anyone of you European residents (preferably non UK residents! :D ) ever ordered something from Amazon.co.uk ? If so, how long did shipping take? Would you recommend it? I'm considering ordering this item because I'm afraid I'll only find localized versions in stores over here... If I...

Well, this is that time of the year again, and ENTERPRISE is due for another refit (since my 9800 Pro doesn't like my current P4PE too much). I'll be selling the P4PE and am thinking of getting the following core: - ASUS P4P800 Deluxe - 2 x 256MB of Corsair PC3500 (Cas 2) - P4C 2,8GHz On top...

Some of you may have noticed the issues I'm currently getting with my 9800 Pro in the Unreal series of games, the most recent one being that persistent crash and poor performance in U2. I've decided to put the debugging on hold until I've got a chance to switch mobos (will be ditching that P4PE...

@ Kombatant : hope I'm posting in the right forum this time. ;) So, I'd like you people with Hercules Radeons 9800 Pro to check out the PCB rev. version on your cards. Since I can't seem to fix my problems with mine, I'm looking for other causes. Add the mobo you're using as well. Also post...

Hey there, I was wondering, would it be possible to set up a "server-only" installation of IL2 Forgotten Battles, so that I could use that dedicated server for LANs or on-line gatherings... (and connect to it and play from my main gaming rig). The would-be server system is a P4B 2.4 GHz with...

Well, that's it, I've done almost everything I could, short of reverting to older drivers (don't want to do that for many reasons) and upping the AGP voltage (don't want to fry the card, and I doubt it would help -- see below). The system is in my sig. Fastwrite is off. Card is working on AGP 4x...

Fits well enough in the current trend... Who'd win? Neo is omnipotent but Andrew can do the "instaban" trick. Neo'd be vaporized before he can realize. So...?

... I need some feedback from you all. Got a 9800 Pro, working or not, post your specs (processor, motherboard/chipset, soundcard, OS). If you have a problem, state it also. In case you solved it, please say how. I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my own setup. Got a couple suspicions...

Hi all, Well, I just acquired a shiny new Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro yesterday - and I can't say I've been quite as thrilled about it as I had been expecting to be so far. Here are my specs : - ASUS P4PE-L / P4B 2,53 GHz / 512MB PC-2700 DDR-SDRAM (Dane-Elec certified) - Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro...

... Not our local digitalwanderer's day, of course, but the day I'll get my newer toy. I'm finally putting my 8500 to rest and this is what's next in line. ... Can't wait !! :D :D
