Check out this 1GB PCI CARD



http://db.jaton.com.tw/VGAProductDet...D=84348KQ-512A


This card needs a power connector too *****

512 MB DDR2 Per GPU
1GB Total Onboard
4 VGA Outputs

Extremely expensive and completely useless to anyone in this thread (which is listed as a gaming thread). It is essentially two PCI6200 cards on the same PCB, nothing more.

I am a using a 6200 now, if i would found that card before i found the bfg 6200, at a cheap price , i would of bought it. I think its safe to say its the best 6200 card out. Too bad its not 50 bucks and nowhere in the united states,because i would get rid of the 6200 card now and buy that one.

Hi, not entirely off-topic, but I wonder if anyone has used PCmark05 http://www.futuremark.com/download/pcmark05/

I downloaded the free version and ran it. It runs a range of tests, a few are GPU related , the rest test HDD, memory, CPU etc. Quite useful if you want to see if a specific tweak or upgrade has improved overall performance.

the free version runs a bunch of tests, but doesn't display any results , just takes you to login at their website.

Anyone using this tool ? If I register on the site , do I then get to see my results ?

thank you so much

I got a problem been having this error for some time before I can Dell Technical Support I would like to see if it is software error or hardware ( maybe processor or hd ) when I play these games:

1. Doom 3.
2. Half Life 2.
3. Condemned criminal origins demo.
4. Unreal 1.
5. Duke Nukem 3D with HRP.

I get sometimes a constant moving without pressing keyboard, mouse, or anything whilst playing game what is that I got this happen sometimes, is there any update to Dell diagnostic test I got an old 2005 one on hd.

I have a PCI slot. Not PCI express or whatever, just plain old PCI. What are some good (not to pricey) cards that will work? Nothing too powerful, just something that could play World of Warcraft at a good FPS. I currently have a integrated intel.

Also, does it matter what motherboard I have?

I'd think the dell tools, which normally are on their own seperate bootable partition, are good. I always have a copy of UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ which has up to date disk, memory CPU etc tools.

but I'm not sure if I understand your problem, are you saying that you get game movement without moving the mouse or accessing the keyboard ? Is it a laser mouse or tracker-ball ? tracker ball mice get very dirty inside. keyboard problems can be caused by things becoming jammed beneath the keys. I'd suggest maybe trying another mouse/or keyboard to eliminate these

The mouse roller ball one had a lot of dust on the rollers. The keyboard looks okay, it happens sometimes.

Click here: So you only have PCI slots and want to game?

By the way, you obviously missed it, but this was pinned up the top of this forum, where you clicked on "New Thread"

The mouse arrow moves by itself?
It happen when i was using xp, but not doing it since i went back to win9x.

Whats your price range?

Well I doubt it's a software or disk problem. I have only seen this problem with an old IBM Thinkpad where , over time the touchpad mouse went out of calibration. I'd assume that game movement must happen because the software is receiving input indicating movement. Can you swap the keyboard for a while with another one, in case one of the keys has an intermittent fault ?

I would also cross post on the dell support forum http://www.dellcommunity.com/support...rd.id=dim_bios there are some good people on there .

I really don't want to pay over $60. Like, I said, it doesn't have to be amazing.

The Evga 6200 256MB is your best choice then. The card is always under 60 dollars. Circitycity has it, newegg has the card and many other places has it for 39-59 dollars.

Hello I'm new here. I've been looking to replace my Geforce 5200FX card with just about anything that has a better frame rate. Its a good card but I need something more and Dell with their PCI only models... well you all know or this thread wouldn't exist. Any feed back would be very helpful. I'm pretty sure I've filled out the info below correctly.
Thanks


1. Motherboard - OTC667 by Dell
2. Graphic interface - PCI GeForce 5200FX
3. Memory - DDR 512MB
4. CPU - Intel Celeron
5. CPU Speed -2.40GHz
6. Power Supply Make/Model - Dell Dimension 3000
7. Watt output/Amperage

Try this card. It's a major upgrade from your current one and can even accelerate HD video for super-smooth playback.

Can't recommend anything less than the Sparkle 8500GT PCI until the Albatron 8600GT is released. Google shopping search the Sparkle card and you will find about 10 or more vendors that sell it. With PCI's limited bandwidth, no one should have anything less than this if you are going PCI only for GPU. I don't know why Newegg even carries that Sparkle card in the other post when the 8500GT is over twice as powerful.

Also, see my post in this thread about requesting the Albatron 8600GT from Newegg as no one carries it now and the only way we'll see it is if we petition someone like Newegg. thanks
