ASUS A7V600-X (VIA KT600)

512MB Generic DDR2700 (@333MHz)
512MB Hyundai DDR3200 (@333MHz)
Both at 2.5-3-3-7

Your turn.

Miscellaneous hardware advice/comments welcome but no excessive showing-off or makin' fun of people on PIIs. It's just out of interest.

I have 2 desktops, heres a tip satchmo;

You want to have 2 different desktops on your 2 different monitors? Simply find the pic that you want to use on your second monitor, save it, then right-click on your desktop, >properties>desktop>customize desktop>web, then select new, than click browse, find your picture and select it, click apply, and the picture should show up on your desktop. after that, you can move the picture over to your second monitor, adjust it until its just right, and the right click again, arrange icons>lock web items on desktop. Now you have 2 different desktops.
Posted 19 years ago2005-02-24 16:09:35 UTC Post #93175
That's a rather inefficent way of doing it. Can't you just have a background image the same size as their combined resolutions, and put two images together, divided in the middle?

Why? Doesn't Windoze just spread one wallpaper across both of them? Surely they have to run at the same resolutions?
40GB Hard Drive (in reality, 38.2 GB)
If you're referring to binary gigabytes (1,024 mebibytes) then the term is 'gibibyte'. Plus, what on earth posessed you to buy an XP 2300+ and leave your 16MB graphics card in!? I'm amazed that it... oh. It's PCI, isn't it? Confess ;).

Heh, dandy, my apologies :) I got distracted by the framerates. I'm amazed that there're 1.5v 16MB AGP cards, and I'm guessing you must have a 1.5v socket on a motherboard that supports a 2300+?

Okay, benchmarks with my new laptop.

AMD Athlon 64-M 3000+
512MiB DDR2700
ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility (64MB)
15.4" TFT (at 1280x800)

First test:

Model detail: medium
Texture detail: medium
Water reflects: world
AA: Off
AF: 4x
VSYNC: off

40.4fps
43.2fps

Second test

Model detail: high
Texture detail: high
Water reflects: all
AA: 4x
AF: 8x
VSYNC: off

22.9fps
23.6fps

Now in 720x480, on the settings just above:

46.6fps
49.6fps

Very nice, methinks. Shame there's no res. in the middle.

NO idea what you're talking about. :zonked:

For curiosity purposes, here's my (crappy) 3DMark2001 benchmark results (note: all "games" run on low quality):

Car Chase: 11.6 fps
Dragothic: 18.6 fps
Lobby: 33.3 fps
Nature was unable to run...
Most other feature tests (like DOT3 bump-mapping) were unable to run...

It still runs HL/CS at great for mid-poly/decent for high-poly though, so I'm happy. :)
