  • G400 Newbie questions....

    Hi,

    I'm a newbie when it comes to the G400. (absolutely lovin' it so far....)
    I have a couple of questions:
    I've got a G400DH 16Meg. (I'd rather have the 32meg but this one was a real bargain)

    a). How far can one overclock the G400?
    (I've got sufficient cooling)
    I'd like to try 133Mhz. core?

    b). Will disabling DualHead improve gamespeed? Will there be more memory to use for games then?

    c). When watching DVD's on my TV, my desktop has to be set to a meager 800x600, is this any different with a 32Meg card?

    Hi!
    Welcome

    a)Overclock it until you start getting freezes or graphical glitches, and then lower it a notch or two. Most vanillas G400 overclock to Max speed (150/200) with a fan on the heatsink. Mine surely does, so I thing 133 core is a bit underestimating its overclocking potential.

    b) Dual-head splits the memory. So you got only 16 Mb to play with. To some games it could be not enough.

    c) I donĀ“t really know
