jedisalf 0 Posted December 16, 2001 Im going tomorrow to order my new system (finally Ill play OFP and Max payne!!) but I want to know what you think and if you have some recomendations: MSI K7T266 PRO2 Athlon XP 1.x (ż?) Geforce 3 ti200 Sound Blaster Live 5.1 PS: I read in some forum that the ECS k7s5 is 10% slower than the MSI k7t266 pro2, but It has less compatiblities issues...is this true?

Mister Frag 0 Posted December 16, 2001 I'd get a SoundBlaster Audigy instead, it is reported to have fewer compatibility issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasha 2 Posted December 16, 2001 Excellent system, yeah the audigy is WAY BETTER and do not cost that much! The GF3 will rock in OF! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasha 2 Posted December 16, 2001 One more advice though, if you want the GF3 Ti200, get the hercules brand as their card CAN BE OCED All the way PASS the Ti500 speed EASILY with STOCK COOLING! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m79 0 Posted December 17, 2001 Yes I agree ,I got myself a Herc Ti500 and it rocks , my amte has a herc Gf3 and I outperform him by about 15%+ during soem benchmark testing we did , well worth the extra cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes no difference if it is from the same company I have a first geneation GF3 from ASUS (pre Ti) that I can clock to 260/558 with stock cooling and have freinds with the same series that can only get to 220/515...... its's hit or miss basically.... go with what you can afford regardless of brand...
