2900 Pro Owners Thread

[TheJaxx]

Hello all, new to the forums here. And this thread is what made me make my final decision on what to buy.

They're out of stock at newegg, again. Ewiz doesn't have any 2900PRO, nor does any other e-tailer with the exception of NCIX. Although they have the 512 for like 290$+

It looks as if its now a deactivated item on Newegg. I know they had got a few in on Tues, which is when I ordered my HIS one and had it 2nd day.

My question would be dealing with the 3DMark scores people are showing. I've just recently upgraded my system after getting some OT in at work and stashing money away so the woman didn't see it.

What I've purchased was:

AMD 6400+ Black Edition
2GB Patriot PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 Mem Kit
ECS GeForce6100SM-M Board (I know, but it was bundled with the CPU and couldn't afford much more after)
HIS 2900Pro 512mb
630watt RaidMax Volcano PSU (has two 6pin's and 8pin but I guess the 8pin is for EPS)

I've got a new Vista OS installed and only scored around 9600. The Vid is OC'd to 740/2000 (effective). The CPU test is where the system REALLY bogged down during the benchmarking.

I've a feeling alot of it has to deal with the mobo itself and others, settings I've not made or tweaked as of yet, both bios and OS.

What I'd like to know is there any really good guides on making adjustments? Doing searches gives you so many different opinions, it actually gets confusing.

Thanks.
