PCI express

[SupraMario]

:bowdown:
so im building a new pc
and im doing it PCIX
cant wait its going to be sweet
then all other $$$ goes in the supra WOOT

 

[NATAN666]

heh ya i did that.. im thinkin of sellign the comp for parts for the soup

 

[Supra Blues]

I've been out of the whole computer loop for a few years now. What is PCI express? Is it better than AGP slots????

 

[Justin]

yes

 

[NATAN666]

its "16x" although i dunno exactly how the achieve that speed.. its through multipliers so its not necesariily 4 times as fast as agp4/x etc etc....

my computer fuckin hals ass tho... any game, 1600X1200, full graphics settings... mmmm

 

[SupraMario]

yea with the MB im getting it has SLI on it so i can run 2 video cards for the ultimate setup, its the equivelent of having board walk and park place.
and AGP is dying now so is PCI
PCIX is all in.

 

[lagged]

pci and even agp will be around for at least another 10 years.

 

[SupraMario]

HAHA yea on older systems, but they will stop production in like 2 years, PCIX is same cost and 8Xs the speed.

 

[NATAN666]

well they wont stop production of motherboards with AGP and pci slots, but yes most newer GFX cards will only be pcix.... alot of them are now and youll be hard pressed to find agp versions of some of the higher end cards.

[streetknight]

SK: I used to do the 3 month upgrade thing here but gave up awhile back as the cost/benefit ratio started to suck badly!

I'm still on my old P4/3ghz watercooled thing I built but as I don't game anymore (no time) I don't really need anything faster!

How many people love computers? We need a computer section in off topic

I was thinking about upgrading my RAM to some Ballistix PC4000 256MBx4. I have some Kingston Value RAM in right now, but its just that, value RAM.

It's fast enough for you IJ? NEVAR!

[supra90turbo]

got this DOS type message that went something like:

perform back up immediately
hardware failure imminent

press f1 to continue


lol... im fucked. haha.
i got so much shit on here... its gonna be tough to back it up...

 

[RacerXJ220]

Never seen that one before. HD Failure?

 

[streetknight]

sounds like it but dont understand why it could come up normally they just crash.

 

[SupraMario]

supra90turbo u have another comp. if you do, take out that HD and put it in the other comp back up all the info on the one about to crash and then format it. and DL spinrite run spinrite, problem solved.
