R8500LE works with 250W PSU!!!

That's great.
I don't know how to overclock an Intel board.
They're built for stability instead of maximum performance.

Cool, now lets hope you can OC it high.

BTW where can you download that GLexess?

<b>P75 @ 90 Mhz</b>... because I need the speed.

I found it but it couldn't connect.
But now I now the name I was able to find it on MajorGeeks.com I will download it next month, because I'm almost on my data-limit for the past 2 months.

That's crazy on that combo.

But benches aren't the endall/beall of existance. Run some games.

It's not surprising. People who say you need a 400 W PSU these days are going off the deep end. You can easily run 2 hds, fd, cdrom, cdrw, GF256 DDR (uses WAY more power than the new ones), sound, lan, tbird, ram, 4 case fans, cpu fan, hdd cooler and maybe a few other things on a 300 W supply and be plenty safe.

If my baby don't love me, I know, I know, her sister will.

Try that combo with a Tbird1.4 and Geforce4.

HMMM.... Dell quality now there's an oxymoron. Anyways, I think it was zyprd who told me if the +5V line said 25A or more on the PSU, I should be fine. It said 28A so I'm hoping I'll be good to go. I'll try overclocking it after doing some more tests.

BTW does anyone know how to possibly overclock a Intel OEM board without using jumpers?

What's the deal with lampshades, I mean it's a lamp, why would you want a shade?

hmmm i dunno, they geforce4's certainly require a decent sized heatsink on them!

did i mention: ITS A DELL!??!?!
lol

"50 watts."

To be perfectly honest, I know not.

But if I had to even slightly guess, I'd guess between 25 and 30 watts. That's actual power requirements, not thermal characteristics. For thermal, I'd guess 15 to 20.

I don't doubt that Geforce1 used 16 watts. But I seriously think the G2's use the exact same power, plus 20%.

Ever used a Comp-u-nurse on your G2 gpu?

I've seen all kinds of numbers for the G2-GTS. From 2.8 up to 25.
I've seen the terms "power consumption" and "power dissipation" used interchangably, even though they are *not* interchangable.

That said, I truely have no idea what the actual requirements are for anything but the G1. I have that and the AMD specs saved back to cdrom. The G1 chews up 6amps on the 3.3rail, 3watts on the +5rail.

It's too bad Nvidia and Ati don't release the power requirements for their reference cards. Voodoo used to, but Nvidia cured that.

Does that include like direct transfers through MSN or the email? I could easily get it to your through MSN.

Oh... that's gotta suck, all this time I've been taking my internet connection for granted!

That´s really fu*ked up...data limit, now what is that?

Here in Sweden there are rumours that my ISP will introduce this system aswell.
This system maybe work for the "common" surfer, but for the rest of us proud DC users, don´t think so.

I will cancel my "contract" with them if they set up such a system, that´s for sure.
Wankers.

I think it´s hypocracy of an ISP to have limits of how much people are
allowed to download.

I am currently paying $38/month for my 64kb/s connection and I think that
is too high.
When they first introduced it, it was like $20/month with the same speed and
since then they just raised the price, saying that there has been some
"unexpected" extra costs that forces them to raise the price.

Once again...wankers.

<font color=red>Japanese Telecom</font color=red>

I still think that would be expensive for 92kb/s.

For $38 I would like to see connection offering 1024kb/s(or more)
I am not a cheapass or something, it´s not that.
The thing is the way they try to hype this whole ADSL thing in Sweden.

"Oh, look at this, it is SO FAST you can´t believe your eyes" and such things
and the fact that they continue to raise the price very rapidly while keeping
the same speed.

I mean...is it really that fast? and is it worth $38 for a pathetic 64kb/s.
In my opinion, no.

I am aware of that the technology maybe not can provide higher speeds and
all that, but in the end I think they take overprices if you consider what you get.

<font color=red>Japanese Telecom</font color=red>

Here in Canada we get ADSL for about $40CAD which is about 30 euros I believe. I have no clue what speed the download is but I do know that I've downloaded at over 200KB/s before. Usually I just do 100-120KB/s, also depending on the upload/server speed.

Back to the subject of video cards, I've tried overclocking the R8500LE and I've got it to 280/280 so far. I've not noticed any artifacts or anything, but are they noticeable? I mean if I was watching the game/test, would I notice it right away? I dunno how much further I wanna push it cause I don't want to burn it out in like less than a week... THanks.

dont get me started about the rediculous prices of auzzie broadband *grumble*

Yeah, but keep alerted for artifacts in games... I used to run my GPU/mem on 225/205 MHz, but when I started playing Max Payne I had to drop it to 200/200 otherwise the textures starting to get messed up.
