Yes but idle is still idle and its not comparable to newer technologies that can lower vcore and cpu speed in order to use less power (like AMDs cool & quiet).

better stop trying to write in caps =) He said he made it work by using the revolutions pack 7, there is no working version of the messenger itself.

Well I think he means something like lower the Vcore in order to lower the power consumption. But that's not possible I think, the CPU has to support it I believe (like the mobile CPUs for example).

Of course, but as there DO exist some working drivers for the 6-series, you don't need it so badly compared to the 7 and 8 ones. I hope somebody with a newer card can report ASAP here if and how it works.

Why the hell you use these drivers when you have a 6-series geforce? The only reason and sense of this driver is to make 7- and even 8-series work on 9x. So does anybody have in fact a 7- or 8-series that works because of these? That's the interesting part here.

a) I had planned to buy a 250 gig drive and make two 125 GB partitions anyway b ) I have the ME version of defrag anyway c) I can exchange my scandiskw.exe from 98se to the ME one and it 1.) works and 2.) is better? d) I would not have any problems with my scandiskw anyway, not even with the big scan, because all of my partitions would be less than 127 gig? Am I right with C and D? If yes...why the hell did nobody tell me this? lol

I think you don't get what I mean. I just cannot use this manual override (refresh rate fix) that is built into the driver in the panel. As you should know because of my last postings here, I can of course change refresh rates to what I like them to be. I just cannot tell it that if it for some reason would switch into like 800x600, that it should use 100hz then. I would have to change it in the graphics card tab manually. I don't really care, I don't need it anyway.

Well I have norton AV 2002 professional, so that recycle bin stuff is on my comp anyway. I deactivated it tho. But as long as I can use normal scandisk without the big scan (which takes like 8 hours on my 120 gig), it's ok. But not being able to use defrag sucks a bit.

Don't use scandisk and defrag? What the...so it's basically completely senseless or I have to get an other prog to scan and defrag...that's bad. But as I would be only storing files on it, I would not have to scan or defrag too soon anyway.

I have to say that this refresh rate stuff on all the forceware drivers since...I don't know, the 6x.xx series I believe, does not work with me. It just gives me some error and that's it. And well, my monitors all came with installing CDs and stuff, I have not experienced any problem with that, but I only had samsung screens so far.

Holy cow! But I'm not gonna test it for the sake of it to find out that it doesn't work in the end. So I think I'll need a definite confirmation, maybe someone here has a setup with IAA and can tell me about it.

I don't think somebody answered my question concerning the Intel Application Accelerator on that topic, so I ask here again - I have a i850E chipset and the 2.3 Application Accelerator installed. Does this (referring the quoter of the post above) mean, that I am in fact able to use bigger harddrives than 127gb just like 2000 and XP can?

Be careful to *never* select/use frequencies that were not on the list of your particular monitor (CRT) for a specific resolution.If you do, your monitor may just die. More info: http://www.mdgx.com/newtip23.htm#OVRR HTH The sense of installing the drivers of your monitor IS to have only the resolutions listed that work with it. I do not need any advice on that =).

I don't understand all your resolution and refresh rate problems. You install the card driver, you install the screen driver, that's it. I can choose all resolutions that are working with my 17" CRT (syncmaster 797mb), up to 2048x1536 and all refresh modes like 60, 70, 72, 75, 85, 100, and if I go down with the resolution (I use 1024x768) I can get 120 or 140 too.
