| 148375 | 2003-05-30 03:09:00 | My suggestion for the FAQ was more of getting people on the right track with their questions in the first place . I realise its a biggish ask and didn't expect a comprehensive list and review of the cards just a brief what the cards capabitlities are and what the chip revision for eg, relates to in the scheme of things gfx and what will it play, agp x rating would be useful . A ready reckoner if you like so that people can get to the juicier bits faster without having to repeat yesterdays question/post in its entirety (mind you I need the repeats in diff style for it to sink in) . Was just a thought as it has come of late, if its a dumb A idea it'll die a natural death . :) Cheers Murray P |

| 148376 | 2003-05-30 03:24:00 | Thats a heap of great info Susan but . . . . what about the person wnating to know what to slot into his/her 650 Duron or Celeron so that they can play whatitsname without locking up? You could search Google for old reviews but my point is alot of people are asking here on PF1 and there are other people here that have the knowledge tucked away in their skulls to give the answers . Matybe 3 slightly diff answers from 3 diff helpers but most questioners will get the idea . Well I must get back to earning a living . Cheers Murray P |

| 148377 | 2003-05-30 05:10:00 | If you have a 650Mhz, you wont get the best performance out of UT 2K3 due to proccessor speed.. I think it need a minimum of a 933 Mhz.. or is that recommended? Either way, for some a cheap $120 GF 4 MX 440 is a good option, why fork out the extra $200 when your CPU is too far behind.. I would go for the Ti based cards or higher if the PC I was upgrading was over 1Ghz and you didnt mind spending the extra dosh. The GF4 still has a place in today's market, but it wont stay for long with prices of the Ti coming down fast. They dont get over 60fps at 1024x768@32Bit, in pretty much anything, but the suffice at a good 40 fps. AFAIK, PCW deem 60fps as the new minimum acceptable in playability for Graphics Cards :-) Hope this helps Chill. |

| 148379 | 2003-05-30 09:31:00 | Thanks for all your replies. I know that 256MB extra RAM wouldn't hurt, but that's going to be a near future upgrade, after the video card. Also, if you all looked at the specifications for my motherboard, you would notice that it is an 4X/8X AGP motherboard, so it will take any new card I can throw in it. I know a place that I can get cards relatively cheap through my workplace, so the price doesn't really matter too much as I can get a good deal. I also don't play games all that much (too busy with work), so I really don't care if it is a Ti or MX, as long as I can run the games smoothly. Thanks, Wintertide |

I do not know. ........ha But i could take a guess. And that guess would be that the card is capable of displaing images on screen from 2 different sources.This would be of utmost importence when doing video editing. Just a guess mind you,dont quote me on that. |

| 148382 | 2003-06-05 03:59:00 | Actually,i thinks its just the ability to play video? The placement of a full-motion video window on the display screen . There are various techniques used to display video on a computer's screen, depending on whether the video source has been digitized or is still in analog NTSC format . Since computer monitors are generally analog, NTSC video can be merged with signals coming from the video adapter . Increasingly, faster computer buses (PCI, VL-bus, etc . ) and faster video busses (Advanced Feature Connector, VM Channel, etc . ), allow for analog video to be digitized and stored with other binary data for output . Then the video adapter turns it into analog scan lines for the monitor . |
