FetishFool 0 Posted February 17, 2002 @DayGlow: Â You inspired me to over-clock. Â But I have to buy some new fans, first. Â Est cost is $40 CDN. @John_McClane: Â Your system is like a lot better than mine in every way! Â The Radeon alone kills my system. Â I can't play OPF with everything maxed out. Â Everything is sort of medium. @Chan: Â Is that $90 CDN or US? Either way, you got a great deal. Â I need to hook up 4 CDRWs soon. Â So I'll need lots of juice!!! @Kekk: Â A lot of the major OPF icons used to have the grass texture problem. Â They thought Desert Island was a snow island for a long time. @SpaceAlex: Â I think you need to get 512MB RDRAM for your P4. Â 'Just a suggestion. Â Because your bus speed can go a LOT faster than 266Mhz. Â DDR just doesn't cut it when it comes to a P4. I'm an Athlon XP lover, though... Â @Sir Smokes Alot: Â I'm just surrounded by Athlon XPs and P4s in my neighborhood, while I'm stuck with my crappy P3, and 5400RPM Hard Drive. Along with my crap-ass SDRAM... Â It... Â It... Â It really makes a guy want to kill himself... Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snake1999 0 Posted February 17, 2002 LOL! hehe,, a real whiner I love my little puter. Me and my old Betty have gone through allot of things. The only negative part I can find now is my 4gb hd. This is the only thing right now that really pisses me off (have to uninstall certain things to fit other things,, and then reinstall the removed stuff again,, and over and over again... in an endless cycle).

FetishFool 0 Posted February 17, 2002 My WinXP Professional took up 5GB of my hard drive!! lol!!! That was after an upgrade. A clean install would probably only take up 2GB... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake1999 0 Posted February 17, 2002 Yeah. When upgrading, winXP will save your old OS, so that you can 'revert' back to it if you would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FetishFool 0 Posted February 17, 2002 Do you know how I can delete my old Win98SE? I mean, Win98 is the worst OS ever. WinME is like second worst. I'll never go back to my Win98 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake1999 0 Posted February 17, 2002 I have no idea. A friend of mine deleted his old OS, that was still on his hd after the xp upgrade,, but as I did a clean install, I haven't really looked into this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FetishFool 0 Posted February 17, 2002 Reformatting is a nightmare for me. I either get a new HD, or save my 15GB of essential work onto CDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dayglow 2 Posted February 18, 2002 FetishTool, I have a Swifttech MC460 heatsink on the proc to keep it cool. it stays around 40C with my o/c. It's a monster of a heatsink, all copper with a alpha fan on top. You have to bolt it to the mb b/c it weights too much to clip on the proc. It cost $120cdn ( I know I could buy a faster cpu for that, but I wanted the challange of the o/c). For the gf2mx it came with just a heatsink on the gpu. I didn't want try prying it off and putting on a aftermarket fan so I just took an old cpu fan from my 486 and bolted that directly onto the heatsink. It takes air and forces it throught the heatsink, cooling it off. I thinking of looking for some heatsinks for the memory and see if I can get it higher, but I got a new graphics card coming. Get this story: I went into a local computer store here in Calgary and ordered a GF3ti200 ($325cdn) about 3 weeks ago. They told me they could get it in a few days. About a week and a half later I checked in to see where my card was and they told me they were having trouble getting it. So they offered me a GF4 that they are getting a few weeks from now. Of course I'm all over that. A GF4 for $325? Now that's a sweet deal. COLINMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayglow 2 Posted February 18, 2002 Oh yeah FetishTool, if you want to get rid off the old files just go to the add/remove programs in the control panel. Now on the right hand side there should be add/remove window components. I think it's in there. My opinion is you should go with a clean install. I hear nothing but problems with upgrades, but clean always fix it. My system was screwed up intill I did a clean install. Easier for me, I have 2 drives in my computer, so all my files are on my D: drive, while windows on the C: COLINMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
