great performance for card from 2006.

Dont you hate it that you have to reactivate your windows every time you change major hardware components?

[Sssagaman]

@HenryTomasino1

yes, it takes me 2 hours to reinstall windows again just to get new setup working ...

L-O-L

[HenryTomasino1]

@Sssagaman I solved the problem of after installing the OS, legally, downloading a WAT remover. Makes it so Windows wont check the activation or components =D Since I bought W7 I might as well not waste my time reinstalling and reinstalling xD And the P3 didnt work as a Mine craft server. Works fine for Vent only though =D Up to 30 people stable.

@HenryTomasino1

lol, you've got to be kiddin' me :D

[HenryTomasino1]

@Sssagaman Nope xD Dead serious. PM me and I can send you one.

Good Video -The problem is that ATI/AMD abandoned any card under the "2" series a while ago , there is no new driver support , If you have a comparable Nvidia card , "7900" (or even a 6 series) there is still new driver support.

i7 @4Ghz versus E6300 @1.86 Ghz: LOL

Maxed Out, DX9, AA=0 1024x768: 23.5 FPS (E6300) ///

i7 pushes it to 27.8 FPS at 1280x720

And using only one X1950 PRO!!!

Bottleneck much? :D

[LectRazZz]

Hmm.. what cpu is better? intel core 2 duo e8500 or intel i3 2100k or amd Phenom ii x4 840 ? +5

[evilcrow1001]

@LectRazZz There is no K version of the 2100, as for what is best, reviews show the 2100 to be better for gaming than any current AMD chips.

[Sssagaman]

@LectRazZz

Intel Core i3-2100 (3.1GHz) is very good choice for the money

[AeroFix94]

@LectRazZz you should go with an AMD Phenom II X4 955 in that case, or take the Intel Core i3 :)

[000Nagby000]

@AeroFix94 better to take 555 or 655 if it is mostly for gaming

[AeroFix94]

@000Nagby000 if he is gaming, a AMD Phenom II X4 955 is better for gaming, a dual core is not enough!

[000Nagby000]

@AeroFix94 not many game can use 4 core i only know BFBC2 and with some mobo 555 can be unlocked to a 955

[AeroFix94]

@000Nagby000 to a 955?

[000Nagby000]

@AeroFix94 the Phenom II X2 555 is a 955 with 2 locked core

[AeroFix94]

@000Nagby000 it is more safer to go with an 955, because many people cant unlock and get unstable and stuff!

[000Nagby000]

@AeroFix94 this is why he should go for this CPU because most of games only need 2 core

[BarackMcBush]

@AeroFix94 the 955 x4 is less than 30$ more new than a Phenom II X2 555 ,so the choice is obvious.

[evilcrow1001]

@AeroFix94 2100 has hyper threading so 2 x logical cores and 2 x virtual cores, even with this it beats the top AMD 4x core CPUs, go check the reviews out, the anandtech bench is a good place to start.
