    yeah! brand spanking new TI4200 but 4ns mem :(

    I got some samsung 4ns (just found out after i pry off the stock ramsink, what a pain, i'm putting it back on but with better thermal compound). Strangely enough, this card stock was doing 512mhz, which is a bit more than the rated 500 for 4ns memory, BTW this card is only 64MB. Can anyone give...

    I killed my laptop flashing its BIOS :(

    see that's why you buy from a place that you can call up if something goes wrong :), sorry to hear this but if you sale all the parts and stuff, you might be able to get a new laptop for cheap. Never flash a component in window that's running (like mobo, or graphic cards and stuff like that)...

    Question about overclocking core on Radeon 9600

    the max is probably around 450 to 475 seeing that it's using the 350 core, the 360 will do better but it only appear on the XT version. I don't think you can mess up a card by Ocing because you're not pumping in any extra votage, as long as you have good cooling you can OC and if it can't take...

    saphhire radeon 9550 128MB

    there are only several cooler that will fit the 9550, unfortunaly they are all expensive, the cheapest one is the regular iceberg, it's better than the stock but i didn't like it becasue the fan was kindda small, but if you want a cheap solution, that's your best bet.

    saphhire radeon 9550 128MB

    nah, the stock cooler is good up to 400mhz, all the pro card used the same cooler and their stock speed is 400mhz, i do suggest a new cooler just to be on the safe side, you should get a silencer or any cooler that will fit on other cards incase you wanna upgrade later.

    how do you make a bootable CD with the atiflash and the bios? can i just use nero to create a bootable CD? the bootable CD with the bios i got is from downloading the site, i've never created a bootable CD by myself.

    the zalman ZM 80 D is very nice :) i'm glad i bought it :), instead of using a zalman fan, i'm just gonna use one of mine and mounted on, save 10 bucks. It's outragous how they sale the ZM80 for 35, but the fan alone is 10, that's rip off.

    the core RV350 should be good for about 420 atleast, because that's the same core as the pro, and the pro has 400 as stock.

    i'm benching at 450/235 (hehe push as much as i can as of now because i know the cooling is good enough. I'm suspecting that the votage on the RAM was undervolt, but that would mean that i have to buy a reader to confirm and thats gonna cost more, i think i'm cool with 235, it's not too bad. So...
