ok here is what i did. for those with a ULI chipset get the driver download from TPU download section and run it youll have to re-install the driver for the video card, but before you do, edit the .inf file in the ati folder (I'm using the 9.2 hotfix ones). If your card shows up as 9505 then change the HD 3850 AGP to this "ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9505" (reads as 9515) and then change the HD 3800 line to 9515 instead of 9505. save and then uninstall old driver and sweep for old driver files in safe mode. Restart and run 9.2 catalyst and it will have full functionality and O.C. features .

All results at 1440x900, but that's all but identical in the number of pixels to 1280x1024 (98.8% of the pixel count). I just have a 19" monitor hooked up to the P4 currently. Specs in my specs tab, the HD3850 is a Sapphire w/512Mb GDDR3 and it is OC'ed to 715Mhz Core and 945Mhz Mem.

Very nice OC on an old P4. Still, pales in comparison to Q6600. Do consider a cheap upgrade: Asrock Conroe865PE or 775i65 which will take your DDR RAM, your AGP, and let you stick a Core 2 in there.:pimp:

It states page 32 in the actual link for that page so how would that differ? Anyroad, I know what to do in future. ;)

my FPS is fine just would like a lil' more quality if possible?

<< sys spec to the left and still using original driver's that came with the card :nutkick:

I found that upgrading from a 3.0 Northwood to a 3.2EE Gallatin made a big improvement in games due to more of the game code staying in the bigger cache.

The Gallatins are quite cheap on ebay these days... might help a bit.

Alternatively, an Asrock 775i65G can be had for $20, and a Core 2 Anything can be had for $50 and it will BLOW your 3.6 Northwood or a Gallatin out of the water.

I very much recommend that $70 upgrade. No need to reinstall anything because its the same chipset, just s775.

Nope. My 775i65G is running a Q6600 and is in full time use :D

Gallatin was sold already.

i don't understand german lol but i'm assuming it is possible using a converter or DVI > HDMI cable?

what i would like to do is to be able to game/watch movies from my PC on my Hi-Def LCD and sound on my home theatre?

i got no money for PC stuff i spent it all on RC's :nutkick:

i have some budget if necessary but i would like to get it done with what i have if possible?

Gellatin was not much more different than presscot IIRC :confused:

1920x1200 in 2D, but it`s pretty hard for my rig, at the moment i own a P4 3,06GHz HT and 2 Gig RAM. System is to slow for gaming in high-res, hmmm maybe HL2 works with high-res.
But the next rig is already beeing planed.

Make sure you get one that is CONROE compatible, Revision 2.0. The earlier boards didnt do conroe, the later one did. Look it up b4 u buy.

Just to repeat: I am running Q6600 @ 2.66 (limit due to 300FSB max)... with my old DDR1, and my AGP3850. You DONT need a quad to get the max out of games, a cheap Core 2 Duo would still give you lots of whallop compared to silly Northwood/Prescotts

i was checking those board's out already since i couldn't find a EE skt478 CPU on the bay, what is the easy way to distinguish the revised board's with the older board's?
