    i wouldn't bother if i were u, since most mobos, have there own dedicated sound cards already built in, i,e nforce soundstorm (which has the quality that is comparable to a dedicated sound card), that take little or no strain on the cpu, furthermore judging from your system (mines still better lol) it looks like your a gamer, tell u the truth u will not see a vast improvement of FPS if u have a sound card, but u will see a major improvement in the sound quality in games, EAX 4.0 any one? (trust me u will never want to go back), if u do purchase a sound card, i suggest u get the best one which is the creative x-fi sound card, but if i were u just get a audigy 2 zs (like me) they are pretty cheap now and there great for games.

    ok a continuation from my prevoius thread

     

    This is my mates rig (like mine cept few differnces)

     

    AMD Athlon XP 3200+ @ 2.21ghz

    Asus A7N8X Deluxe with latest bios rev 2.0

    1.5gb PC3200 Ram

    ATI X850XT PE (AGP) on stock cooling/speeds

    160gb 7200RPM 8mb cache Seagate baracuda HDD

    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

    Lite CDRW Drive

    LG DVDRW Drive

     

    Qtec PSU 400W Dual Fan Gold

     

    Now its a Decent rig, plays games fine, any how the thing is he just updated his gfx card from a 9700 pro to a ATI X850XT PE ( he did all the usal things when u install a new gfx card. i.e uninstall drivers, format windows etc), now the thing is when he play some gfx demanding games like lost coast , fear quake 4 , Cod 2, after 10 mins of his computer suddenly turns off, however this does not happen when he use windows normally (internet /music work etc), first he thought that the X850XT PE was over heating but the temps are as follows

     

    used the ati tool for the temps and this what he got while playing lost cost, quake 4, fear etc @ high settings on all games

     

    gpu = 64 - 68 celcious

     

    card chipset = 45 - 48 celcious

     

    now these are not too high at all

     

    at idle (normall windows use) the temps are as follows

     

    gpu = 37 celcious

     

    card chipset = 36 celcious

     

    now as you can see the gfx card is not over heating at all, this leads me to the PSU, which i belive is underpowerd for the gfx card and plus the qulity of it is not good,

     

    now is this asumption true? plz take into consideration of my overall system

     

    i am think of changing my PSU to a 500/600 watt supply should i do this?

     

    now i recommend him these PSU, now can someone tell which is the best out of the two and double check, if they will work on the system

     

    here are the PSU's

    can some answer me a question, what is 230 volts in watts?, i am asking this casue my mates got a new x850xt pe, but the thing is when he plays gfx demanding games like fear or quake 4 @ high, his pc just turns off after about after 10 mins of play, this does not happen normally, when he is surfing the net and such, so this leads me that it the power supply thats the problem, which i believe is under powered for the card, any how on the back of his PSU it says 230 volts can some plz tell me what this is in watts?

     

    thanks

    I'm a huge Sonic fan and i found this game to be awful, plain awful.

    Do yourself a favour go buy a DS and Sonic Rush. It's one of the best Sonic games ever.

    Leave it alone, he's a nice kid who fell on his feet getting this part. He does make a great Harry Potter, and he'll no doubt be around for a while yet so get used to it. I'm tired of people shitting on his acting - makes me feel a bit sorry for him, actually. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in his shoes.

     

     

    meh i would have prefered the guy from my family to be HP, then to that no talent bastard,

     

    furthermore is it me or is the Dumbledor in the movies abit more physical and angry?, in the last films then he is in the books?

     

    i.e

     

    spoiler

     

    when screams out HP name after it came out from the goblet, and in the scene later he physically tried to beat HP up,

     

    end spoiler

     

    he wasn't like that in the books

     

    Even if he doesn't make anymore films... he's still financially set for life, supposed inability to act or not. I'm going to see this movie tomorrow, and it's one of the books I didn't ever read, so I'm sure it'll be great.

     

    u must be joking? i feel sorry for, to watch a half baked vr of the best book in the series, trust me read the book it will be more rewarding then watching the movie

    I love that game, it stays true to the movie, killing lots of bugs but there are also some bugs that can't be fought by the player like clipping errors and such. The graphics are actually pretty poor, blurry textures, low polygon count, sometimes jerky movement but still I enjoy the game a lot, there are hords of bugs coming from respawn points and your standard rifle has infinite ammo but overheats quickly. The bug killing with the green blood also stays true to the movies and they have the same weakspots.

    The health system is the same as in Halo.

    Basically it's just killing lots of bugs, no real team action, no tactic and you often have to fight enemies for several minutes which can get a bit annoying.

    I know there's a lot of critsim but now why I love the game: brainless shooting, killing hundred of bugs in a few minutes, Halo health system, it's Starship Troopers and feels like it and did I mention killing hundreds of bugs in a few minutes, if you love the movie you'll also like the game I think - I sure enjoy it a lot.

     

    I have texture quality on medium, shadows on low, softshadows disabled and am running it at 1024*768 and I never had any lag, it runs really smooth and actually I never missed any of these effects in the game that are disabled. It still looks good in it's own way.

    My system:

    P4 2,2 GHz

    768 MB RD Ram

    128 MB Geforce 6800

     

     

    Medium on a 6800??
