I got it before I actually knew what all the specs were suppose to be...
Here is what they say..
Specifications:
Model Brand AGPtek Retail Box
Model VG-AT98XT-256D
Chipset GPU Radeon 9800XT
Core clock 400Mhz............ Way to low..... And mine never even got this
high when testing it with the ATI Tool !
Memory Clock: 3.3Ns 400Mhz
PixelPipelines 8 .............. Should be 16 ?

c.. 2.0 Pixel Shaders support up to 16 textures per rendering pass
d.. New F-buffer technology supports pixel shader programs with
unlimited instructions
e.. 128-bit, 64-bit & 32-bit per pixel floating point color formats
f.. Multiple Render Target (MRT) support
g.. Shadow volume rendering acceleration
h.. Complete feature set also supported in OpenGL® via extensions
f.. SmoothVisionT 2.1
a.. 2x/4x/6x full scene anti-aliasing modes
b.. Adaptive algorithm with programmable sample patterns

42 processes? I have 26 running for everyday usage, including firewall,
antivirus, etc. You probably have a lot of stuff that's not necessary. By
default XP runs a ton of things no home user will ever need, some of which
can even make your system less secure.
Here's a guide to which services you should be able to disable safely:

Not really. Maybe one or two indifferent ones, but for the most part no;
sort of semi-server machine for a home-lan. High number of processes
alone doesn't necessarily mean a resource heavy system. Most of them are
idling anyway. Dropping some system services propably wouldn't change
the process count much anyway. No doubt some optimization could be done,
but I see no real reason to do so.
iirc, a plain vanilla winxp pro installation with absolutely nothing
else installed runs at about 35 processes (some of them indeed not
necessary). Add to that third party security programs, hardware drivers
(graphics, sound, printer, scanner) and some other minor things, and I'd
propably go over fifty. |
