thanks much, appreciate it guys.

i plan on getting vista home premium 64 in a couple days but i wanted to make sure that it supports the 3870X2 (ive got the Sapphire one). i heard that 64 bit vista wont recognize the other gpu on the card; is that still a problem, or was it ever? thanks for the help, and any other info on...

going to work in a few, look forward to seeeing what you find, thanks Kei!

yeah, the air force hasnt turned on the a/c for the dorms we live in so my room is about 80 and my card runs about 42c with the fan at 40%. when i play games it goes to about 58c-60c with the fan at 40%. also the fan doesnt auto throttle as temperature increases, i have to use rivatuner...

dangit, i thought it would perform better but at least its fine after all. thanks for the help everyone.

wow, yeah, you would have a higher score. starting to wonder if maybe my vid card is dead after all.

cd mark score was 201.2. i tried to upload an image but i couldnt get it to work. so heres the html copy/paste version :) -------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Results Test Name This Computer CPU - Integer Math 289.2 CPU - Floating Point Math 1566.3 CPU - Find...

i did the performance test, not very good compared to others, 934.7 i hate my computer. somethings wrong.

is there anything in bios i should mess with? i actually just read something about pci-e gen2 (or something like that) being enabled...

i ran it at the max resolution i could 1680x1050 and it went down by like 100 points...that shouldnt be a problem right? i mean...higher quality, very minimal performance loss.

i just realized this but could the fact that my operating system was just burned on a disc from this dude at work that got it from his college friend who got it from his school with one of those multi use cd keys or whatever...maybe i just got a crappy burned copy that doesnt work right? im...

i think my ram problem is taken care of, im just gonna run it at what my mobo auto detects it at, which has been the most stable, the 5-5-5-15. it did pass memtest, ran for about 9 hours straight. anything else we need to do to make sure its good? or anything in particular you want me to try...

got home from work after 9 or so hours and at auto timings and volts memtest had 0 errors. i think i might just have to leave em at 5-5-5-15, or email geil and see if they can help out. played crysis on all high settings and it runs pretty good, but freezes randomly, no artifacts though and...

oh and theyre in the 2 slots closest to the cpu (out of 4 slots) in dual channel mode, someone asked that.

i gotta get to work so i really cant do much until tonight, but i set my ram crap back to auto, including voltage; they auto detect at 5-5-5-15. ill memtest them for the next 8-10 hrs and then memtest each stick. im fairly sure my video card had crossfire enabled, i think the only way to...
