they called it "SLI video cards"

 

What is NVIDIA’s SLI technology all about? To put it simply, it is using two PCI-Express video cards in tandem instead of just one. This effectively “doubles” your gaming “performance,” or at least that is what it did for 3dfx back in the first days of SLI. We think that SLI today is more about providing you, the gamer, a better overall quality of experience. Let’s face it, if speed is what you want, you don’t need a high-dollar video card for that. If what you are looking for is the most cinematic and immersive gaming experience you can get, then SLI may be right up your alley.

Aside from all the comments above....

 

Try putting another stick of 256mb  memory on your machine, right now it's pretty cheap around 1,200 per 256 ddr 400 module could be cheaper for a ddr 333 or 266. Windows XP is a memory hog, requires at least 256 minimum to run smoothly, but minimum does'nt quite cut it. With more memory, programs would definitely load faster and games would run smoother however i am not sure as to why your set-up hangs whenever you play games. This  could be caused by a lot of things, if changing the driver doesn't work it could caused by faulty components, could be memory or the videocard itself, could also be your Power Supply Unit. Game crashes is a usual symptom of failing PSU especially if you own a modern vga card which consumes a lot of power. In 2d mode a defective psu might work but once you turn on 3d mode the vga card will thus require more power putting stress on your PSU, if your unit is defective then it might not be able to send enough juice to your power hungry videocard thus crashing whatever game you are playing.

 

Hope this helps

do you think XP is faulty? had the same problem, upgraded memory, but still crashes, though less now...

 

One tech I spoke with said nga, mapili ang XP...

Exan ko lang ah.. but it seems bumabagal ang computer running on XP especially kung i-upgrade mo with SP2. Napansin ko there is a definite lag/slowing down of my unit after upgrading.

 

I simply removed the upgrade and poof! Balik sa dating bilis.

 

Ang ginawa ko na lang ay reformat ng unit and including the SP2 upgrades in the installation. Same ang lumabas without the lag.

 

In my experience pinakastable pa rin ang windows 98. However, marami nang programs ang hindi tatakbo under win98.

No. It's just that it becomes faulty when it's installed through an upgrade from a lesser OS. (especially if from an ME...) :headsetsmiley:

That's actually the case with ALL Windows XP updates. It causes lag when you install it on top of a "used" system. Which is why I always create new (updated) CD installers of WinXP so that the next time I install, it installs all updates automatically. (saves a lot of time by the way too...) :headsetsmiley:

Its better to install 2nd to the fresh installation of Win XP (NTFS file system is best for this) then followed by your motherboard, vga drivers etc. Then there are a lot of crap windows services, which hogs the memory, that needs to be disabled or set to manual. And if your running on a 256mb RAM (especially if its shared) with processor of less than a Ghz or so, it is better to set the system performance to "adjust to best performance" and change the paging file system to X1.5 of the current RAM.

 

SP2 is fine with me except that you have to get the latest drivers of some of your peripherals that will not work in SP2.

Tanong ko lang. meron ba kayong alam na software na katulad ng Phone Dialer ng windows xp.. naghahahanap kase ako ng program yung pwede makausap gamit ng headset at pede ring mag dial sa pc... kase malayo  kase yung fon dito..  para masagot ko tru headset.. saan kaya makakahanap nyun.

what OS are you using kung naghahanap ka ng phone dialer na katulad ng windows xp?

 

In my opinion masmaganda and more reliable pa rin ang magkabit ka na lang ng extension or extra phone kaysa sa computer ka magtawagan.
