D4RK MESSI4H Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2010.09.09 12:06:00 - [1] Originally by: Amerilia 2 GFX cars in a year? Chances are something on your PC is borked, and it will take another ano sooner or later, but if youre not interested in finding the problem, i would go for something cheap, in caseit gets eaten. medium class ATI or used nVidia card or something in that area. Which is exactly what I said in my post. My time is far more valuable to me that buying a new ú60/70 every six months than messing around with this process of trial and error. ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion. Backing the Caldari bid.

Edit - just read the part about heat in your box, but if all you're doing is playing Eve you must have a ropey case. ..... or maybe two raptors and two 1.5tb disks (total of 4). They generate massive heat. But in fairness, the case aint exactly "top of the range" either. Back on topic, I'm cautious of the ATI HD stuff. I bought myself a HP Touchsmart TX2 for work and it has the HD3200 stuff in it. Lets just say Eve is unplayable I do of course realise though that this is a laptop chipset and no where near as beefy as the stuff I'm potentialy buying for the desktop. Is the ATI HD (desktop) stuff ok with Eve then? edit: and yeah, PC World, not the cheapest But then I don't pay VAT (or rather claim it back) and it will be "a company expense" And besides, this if for me more a matter of convenience of picking up. 5450, thanks, I'll go check out there reviews ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion.

(remove all plastic and stickers etc, then bake at 200 degrees for 5 minutes.)[/i] I thought you were taking the p*** out of me! It can actually be done! No, i haven't yet! I'll give that a go tonight! Thanks very much ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion. Backing the Caldari bid.

Go to somewhere like www.ebuyer.com or www.scan.co.uk They are the best sites for buying pc equipment atm. A... Just don't risk it if u have warrenty. ;) Yeah I know all about these guys but I need it tonight and frankly, not too bothered about paying over the odds (see previous post). I'm actually thinking that I may as well get a 5770.... what would you recommend, Asus or Saphire? ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion.

D4RK MESSI4H Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2010.09.09 13:05:00 - [5] Thanks guys! As expected, asking you was the best idea. Spent a little more than planned but I think it will work out good Just phoned a little independant dealer in my area (Micrologic in Hayes) and they can sell me the Asus 5770 for ú120. Just checked a few reviews and this card runs fairly cool and gets great reviews. Thanks to all again!!!! ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion. Backing the Caldari bid.

I only start getting frame rate issues when my memory usage hits 80% capacity. (64-bit Vista on 4GB of RAM, while running 2 EVE clients isnt the best...need to fix that...) Edit: I also have an i7, they work together just fine. Ahhh I should be very ok then as i'm running 6gig tripple channel I have read in a lot of places that in terms of just memory usage, if you only have 4gig ram you are actually better off with 32bit O/S. I understand that the footprint of a 64 bit OK (which is larger than 32bit) wipes out any advantage you may have after gaining the extra 700 or so meg. I know it would be a real ball ache but, might be worth trying a 32bit install if you have memory issues I suspect the reason my two cards may have died could be related to dog hair/dust. Our hairy mutt made a hell-ov-a-mess (daily vacuums required! Thanks Roomba!!!) but obviously, the PC was filthy inside. We don't have the dog anymore as he is living with the "in-laws" so I hope this should help a lot! ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion.

Grids going off, appliances dying fast, crackling from speakers etc? Your going to love this! I just moved house and the second one has now popped If it helps, the PC is plugged in via spike protected extension. I've also found a "mains conditioner" in the garage that the previous tennants have left so I might also employ that. ----------------------------------------- The only thing the Gallente should host is an invasion.
