Ok, gotcha ... I think I'll save my money and do just that. I should be able to come up with $700 to $800 in a few months. I have a GF 8800 GTS 512 video board and actually I have a relatively new 2TB WD2002FYPS disk I'll keep. So I need to replace the following: - Mainboard - CPU - PSU - RAM ...

Disciple

$114 isn't all that bad ... Any recs on a mainboard for that proc?

Disciple

I've been looking on Ebay but I don't really know what to look for ... that is, I don't know what would be significantly faster than the existing processor. I don't mind a used proc at all in fact, I'd prefer it so I don't spend a lot of money. Opteron huh?

Disciple

I have a DFI Lanparty SLI-DR NF4 with an AMD Athlon 64 FX-60. CPU out-of-the-box runs at 2.61 Ghz.

Yeah, this has been a fantastic CPU and was worth the $1K I paid for it new but I'd like a little more speed without replacing the whole box ... Do I have any faster CPU options here?

Thanks,
D

Anybody know how to create one? I have been struggling all morning trying to figure out how to create a static library. There is not static library project template and I can't find references to static library creation in the help. Project requirements dictate that I cannot use DLLs or .NET stuff ...

I always do use thermal paste, I just didn't use Arctic Silver the first time.

Thats not it ... cleared CMOS ... took my time w/the AS5 ... same problems.

Wondering if there is some sort of jumper ...

Disciple

Cool ... yeah, I edited to clear it up

Disciple

Why clear the BIOS when I have verified that the MB works just fine with another processor?

Disciple

I assume you are speaking of the 3000 and the 2600? That could be the prob since I did this all as fast as I could. I will take my time tonight and do it right w/AS5.

As far as the 2500 ... mebbe its just plain dead?

Thx man,

I'm trying to clean house and get rif of all these hundreds of PC parts lying around in my garage. To assist in the process of determining which parts were functional and which were toast I set up an open case PC system. This allows me to get a good working PC configuration running then quickly swap ...

Do you have a card with a dvi and a vga out? I found that during the install, the dvi port wasn't set right, and the vga port worked fine, once I got it to boot up though, all was fine I have tried 6 different video cards (nvidia and ati) ... replaced the dvd/cd drives ... replaced the ram (3 sets ...

Disciple

No, I can't even log in to download them. In fact, I never even get to the post install setup. The most telling symptom is that right before I would expect the graphical login screen, the monitor goes out of frequency range.

Disciple

Radeon 9800 Pro / 128 works just fine. Posting with it now!

Why wouldn't a nv 7600 GS work? I hate that, I spent like $125 on it a few weeks ago.

Disciple

Finally got the CD's dloaded and burnt. I tried an install with them and same problem. I think I am going to punt this video card and downgrade to a GF3 or a Radeon 9800 instead.

Disciple

Mine died and rose to heaven on the 3rd day. It's not here any more so you can't see it.

Unfortunately the bit torrent has been running since I posted that last message and has stalled without even finishing the first CD.

Fliptw the problem is that when I install FC6 and it goes to reboot/config the first time, the X server fails to start. I thought it was because I have a widescreen monitor so I tried it with an old 1280x1024 Gateway CRT ... same problem. I have tried FC3 also and I can get it to boot but as soon as ...

Disciple

Confirmed that I am using VGA. I used recue mode to boot into console mode and went to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... there is no 'Monitor' section in it. IIRC I had this problem immediately after installation and never got a chance to use the GUI setup features ... hence the monitors section never got ...

I am using the VGA port. That jazz is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Look for the "Monitor" section, where you can ...

Disciple

I think I can fix this without so much effort after all. Apparently when I boot up FC6 it sets my monitor to an out-of-range frequency. I forget where the default monitor resolution and frequency is stored ... if I knew I could boot into state 3, change it, and reboot to state 5. Anyone remember ...

Okay, I did an upgrade over the existing install and it added the bootloader to it, and now I'm posting from Fedora! :D I am having the exact same problem you originally did with a new FC6 install. Can you tell me specifically what you did to get it to boot? You loaded an upgrade to FC6? I ...

Personally I couldn't care less. But the gaming industry has come a long way since the 1998-ish days of D3, and I remember back then we were saying the same thing about an engine that had pretty much the same capabilities. But eight years later, games have evolved (and so has hardware!). You are ...
