    old video cards. best for gaming??

    I would never buy the Ti4400 or the Ti4800 back in the day, It was the Ti4200 which could overclock past those speeds at a MUCH cheaper price! And the 9500Pro which could be modded into a 9700 ^.^ (4 pipe into an 8 pipe card!) Also Mussles Half Life 1 runs perfect on a Geforce 2/Radeon...

    It's actually a rather small decrease in performance going from PCI-E to AGP, I don't think we have quite saturated that bus as of yet.

    old video cards. best for gaming??

    Yeah I do remember that card actually, but looking back on it now, most people are probably glad they didn't buy it, because it actually performs rather horridly in the latest games which have become more shader dependant.

    old video cards. best for gaming??

    I used to have a MSI 5700LE default clocks were 250/200 and I managed to get it to 570/300! - I actually managed to max out FarCry at 800x600 on a crappy Pentium 3 667@833hz. Then I got a Radeon 9700pro, which didn't last that long as I jumped the gun and grabbed a Geforce 6200A which modded...

    Definatly a shame, Laptops are to expensive and limited in they're options when it comes to upgrading and getting more performance.

    Maybe, It's only using up 69Mb of memory. (I removed all the useless services). Here's an Idea, you might be able to upgrade you're graphics card if you're laptop uses the MXM standard.

    Laptop overclocking adventures

    Everything in 3D mark is at default settings. Maybe the 25% increase in FSB speed had something to do with it? Because that would increase the speed all the buses run at. (Like PCI, AGP Memory etc). I'm using the Omega's and Windows XP - Fully tweaked, for optimal performance. I'm actually...

    You can't overclock you're processor? This is Interesting. You're processor should be much much gruntier than Mine is, You also have double the amount of ram, which is also faster than mine. And My Video card is only a 64mb Mobility 9700pro (Basically a desktop 9600Pro). Let me guess...

    Ati hd2400 v radeon 7000

    The Pentium M is closer to the Core 2 duo than the Pentium 3, Although they are all based on the P6 architecture there is still significant changes made to the die, like the addition of the Pentium 4 Advanced Tree Predictor, Pentium 4 based Front side bus, Several Die shrinks, Improved cache...

    Ati hd2400 v radeon 7000

    The Radeon 7000 is Basically the Radeon VE, In that it has no Pixel or Vertex Shading, and no TnL in order to cost reduce. But... One feature it -does- have is the Hardware Accellerated DVD playback capability's, and the chance it could be modded into a Radeon 7200 or a 7500. Still, good...

    Pentium M 1.6ghz (Dothan) @ 2.0ghz - 400mhz increase! It basically went from 100x16 to 125x16. 3D mark 2001SE jumped from 8k to 10k. Mobility Radeon 9700Pro Stock 400/200 @ 510/260. Plus I tweaked my Drivers and now I am at 14 thousand 3Dmarks. Crysis is running like butter on low settings...
