i have the latest catalyst drivers now, things r looking better now. far cry is still low though (i think 1 gig of memory would help that). does ne one know when the next card for ati comes out (so the current cards x800, x850 come down in price)??

I want to be able to play current games @ high settings and future games @ medium to high settings. i upgrade about every 1 1/2 to 2 years. my 9800pro can only display medium to low settings on games such as farcry, half-life 2, etc. is this about normal? so will the x800xl (or x700 for that matter) give me the next 2 years on at least medium settings?? thanx for the predictions.

Hello everyone, been looking through the boards, lots of good info and smart ppl. I searched around but i couldn't find a post where ne one mentions a good strategy for installing windows xp. i have two 160gb SATA drives in RaidO and one 120gb IDE drive. wondering what would be best setup (performance, cleaning, and stability wise). Example: windows xp in seperate partition on SATA drives paging file in seperate partition on SATA (needed?) Most used programs/games in seperate partition on SATA long term storage, rarely accessed stuff on IDE ne ideas, suggestions, explanations, wutever, would be mighty helpful. thanx in advance.

XP Installation Strategies?
justoncemoreplz replied to justoncemoreplz's topic in Everything New Technology
thanx for the ideas... for muffin: so ur saying put your #1 and #2 partitions on the RAID0 setup and #3 (Backup) on the IDE? How would that work if my IDE is 120GB and my RAID0 will be 320GB? have read about backup programs, but don't know much about how they work cuz never used'em. i do like the setup though. if i formated/reinstalled the C:\ w/ the OS on it, would previously installed games/programs still function right?
