My new toys

Showtime · 04-12-2002, 10:54 PM

My old rig:
P4 1.7@1.8 w/tt volcano
Via P4X266 mobo
GF3 ti200 @200/500
512 DDR 2100 ram
IBM deskstar 5400
etc
This setup was cool til i found out i couldn't oc the cpu. the board is great at base(1.7) to oc'd(1.8) but any higher and it gets wiggy.
The HD was old and slow.

New stuff
P4 1.7 @ ?(2.0+)
*MSI 845 Ultra ARU!!!! very happy

Gf3 ti200 @? just added a *tt crystal orb!
*Maxtor 7200 60gig HD!
512 DDR
etc.

Its just a hd but I really needed the extra space and speed. I'm formating it right now.
The board is pretty nice and has a lot of cool features. My favourite thing so far is the diagnosis light display. A group of 4 lights that flashes red or green, depending on pattern it tells you whats wrong with the puter. It saved me hours already. I'm not a 100% sure, but my rig was not starting right. The diagnosis thingy flashed memory problem and than that the cpu was not mounted right or was broke. So i remounted the memory and it still flashed the cpu. I checked it and remounted it and all seems ok now. I used some arctic silver 3 on all my cpus too.
This board was made to oc, so hopefully I'll get past 2ghz.
Got my crystal orb and cant wait to see how stable it makes my vid card.

New wan.. er wish list:
TT Volcano 7+($40 @ frys)
Crucial Ram about a gigs worth

ti4600

1st real run on 3dmark = 6914
fsb@105 (have a ways to go)
ti@215/515(will go past 220/515 after i get my temp sensors)
changed my memory settings in bios. Need to install my ram sinks on the new ram.
