      No, I use the Zalman 750g pure copper one. It, too, is virtually noiseless. 20dB in silent mode, 25dB in full mode. It's always in silent for me, works fine...

      • The last time I ran 3DMark03 was in early october, and I got 6313 without the overclocked CPU and stuff.

        • The P4 and Athlon 64 are clearly superior in these tests, but lets not forget your chips cost about 2 and a half times what mine did.

                Anyone got any idea on why my stock Radeon 9800 is so freakin slow? Asher???

                  I just patched my Radeon 9500 to a Radeon 9700, and the result is astonishing:

                  I jumped from a score of 21,135 to a score of 32,751. And it didn't cost a penny more.
                  37983 but I do have a lot of stuff running in the background too...I will try it again next time I reboot and don't have IE and trillian and connections and excel and whatever else running

                    Only thing is drivers, which I'm sure you've checked. Plus my score for PCMark was with a slightly overclocked Radeon to 400/350 or thereabouts, so maybe try that.

                    I suppose you should also check your BIOS and make sure 8x is enabled, and check the other AGP settings haven't set themselves in a strange manner.

                      I got this result too, anyone what it is and to how to enable it and if I even should do so?

                      • Btw if anyone cares I got the 74GB Raptor in the end. I figure it'll last a while, and I can get a second one at some point in the future when the prices come down a bit.

                          Don't enable it, it's unstable for both ATI and Nvidia.

                          Do enable AGP FastWrites, though.

                              I've got the BIOS set for 8X APG with an arpeture size of 256. Are there APG settings in XP as well that need to be engaged (I found the 8x APG in XP but have found nothing on arpeture size in XP). The thing that bothers me the most is that a column in pc mark says my arpeture size is 0. I still have not look under the hardware tab...maybe it is there and still needs set-up

                              My mobo comes with a windows APG driver that says to install after the video driver??? (Do they mean XP video drivers, or Ati??)

                              I did this and I guess I can try reinstalling Cat 4.1 (now they have 4.2) drivers for the 9800.

                              The only other bios settings that I have for this are the voltage levels (for GPU and mem).

                                I think that you made a good choice...

                                Something new and better is always right around the corner, but I think that the Raptors will be competetive for quite sometime, espescially after RAIDed
