In the modern age PC industry(at least in my opinion), if you are sweating 40 bux, you have aquired the wrong hobby......

There has been a lot of crap going around about OCZ. None of which (at least from what I have seen) has been justified with actual proof. Nonetheless, the rumors I hear about the company, are enough to make me not want to buy their products anymore. As far as the quality of their RAM and other produ...

Yea I agree with that too, trying to run a newer processor (AMD XP, or INTEL P4) on anything lower than a 300W P.S. isnt too smart. But he did specifically say that he put in a 300W P.S. I run my P4 Willamette with all 4 IDE Drives filled (DVD, Burner, and 2 hard drives) with a Generic 300W P.S. and...

Did you overclock your vid card at all? and What drivers are you using with your Vid card?

Other things id be paying attention to are;
1) does it lock up in Direct3D or openGL games only, or both?
2) does it lock up only when gaming, or whenever your PC is under full/long load?

:lol: Forge, why do you hold such a grudge with P.S.s?

If I were you Id instal Windows XP. It is all around better than 98, in my opinion.

If it doesnt go away, its probably safe to assume it is not a Software problem.

Im with Austin on this one. You didnt mention anywhere about overclocking. And most scores you are looking at are probably results of a lot of overclocking (mine for example took hours and hours to get to where I am). Before I overclocked I was gettin roughly 7000-mid 8000s. After kicking the GF4 up...

You can go to guru3d.com to find the latest drivers. That could help.

Also if you happen to notice its all DIrect3D games doing this then maybe check into updating your directx version.

Yes, my Geforce 4 has the same design as well. There is actually 8 RAM chips. 4 on Each side of the board.

The RAMsinks that I have seen pair up CHIPs. Meaning one sink gets put on 2 chips. With a total of 4 sinks (duh).

Anyone have any experience with these?

It should come with some thermal **** and a heatsink. But, removing the heatsink and re-applying new thermal **** could benefit you, as it did me. Before I re-applied it, I was only able to bring my Geforce 4 Ti 4200 GPU up to 310MHz, after re-applying it I am now running at 320. So now its running ...

That is very strange, id say.
I get only around 30/40 FPS in RTCW when I run 8x Aniso and Quincunx AA. And then I score 9600/9700 consistently in 3DMark2001SE.

What version is your RTCW, and Det drivers?
and what are the rest of your system specs?
