The Video Card

显卡

Well, I've been an NVidia fan for years, and I really thought I'd go for the new NVidia 6800 Ultra.  They've got fantastically stable drivers, dual monitor support, and dual DVI support.  However, it's US$600 and I've got a wife - she'd never go for it.  :)  So, the other option, as was wisely discussed in the comments of my previous post on the subject, is an ATI Radeon 256Meg 9800 Pro.  It's roughly US$299 (half the price) and arguably comparable results for my needs.  Sure, it won't do 100fps but who needs to?

好吧，我多年来一直是NVidia的粉丝，我真的以为我会选择新的NVidia 6800 Ultra。 他们拥有非常稳定的驱动程序，双显示器支持和双DVI支持。 但是，那是600美元，我有一个妻子-她永远也不会买。 :)因此，正如我以前在该主题上的评论中明智讨论的那样，另一个选择是ATI Radeon 256Meg 9800 Pro 。 它的价格约为299美元(半价)，可以满足我的需求。 当然，它不会达到100fps，但谁需要呢？

I wanted Dual-DVI but I'm not willing to pay for it.  There are a few options, but the ATI 9800 Pro is a good compromise.  ONE of it's outputs is DVI, the other is Analog.  So, I run the Dell FP2001 off the DVI at 1600x1200x32 and the Viewsonic VA800 off analog at 1280x1024x32.  It's a very good compromise.  Add in the Tablet PC with Maxivista running at 1400x1080 and that's ~4.7million pixels working for me.

我想要Dual-DVI，但我不愿意为此付费。 有几种选择，但是ATI 9800 Pro是一个很好的折衷方案。 它的输出之一是DVI，另一个是模拟。 因此，我以1600x1200x32的分辨率运行DVI的Dell FP2001，而以1280x1024x32的模拟运行Viewsonic VA800。 这是一个非常好的折衷。 再加上在Maxivista上以1400x1080运行的Tablet PC，这对我来说大约有470万像素。

The other reason is that there's an active an happy overclocking community around this card.  The drivers and the card are stable and I've been able to get +11% FPS in most games by overclocking it from 378Mhz(core)/337Mhz(mem) to ~418Mhz/357Mhz.  I can take it higher, but a few artifacts creep in.

另一个原因是此卡周围有一个活跃的超频社区。 驱动程序和显卡都很稳定，通过将其从378Mhz(核心)/ 337Mhz(内存)超频到〜418Mhz / 357Mhz，我已经能够在大多数游戏中获得11％的FPS。 我可以将其提高一些，但是会引入一些伪像。

Ordinarily I'm not big on overclocking, but in my research I discovered RadLinker, an amazing and free utility for ATI Radeon-based cards.

通常，我并不擅长超频，但在研究中我发现了RadLinker ，这是一款基于ATI Radeon显卡的惊人且免费的实用程序。

From his site:

从他的网站：

RadLinker is new tweaker/linker for ATI Radeon based graphics cards.  RadLinker features:

RadLinker是用于基于ATI Radeon的图形卡的新调节器/链接器。 RadLinker功能：

• Absolutely no programs running in the background 绝对没有程序在后台运行
• Does not bloat the registry 不肿注册表
• Per game/program settings 每个游戏/程序设置
• Control over process priority 控制流程优先级
• Per game/program clock rate settings 每个游戏/程序的时钟频率设置
• As many unique game profiles as your computer can hold 您的计算机可以容纳的独特游戏配置文件数量
• Custom profiles for all your games 所有游戏的自定义配置文件

RadLinker allows you to create a "RadLink", a special kind of shell link (a.k.a. shortcut) to your games/programs that allows you to change it's individual settings.  A RadLink will look and act just like a normal shortcut except it's property settings can be custom tailored for your video settings.

RadLinker允许您创建“ RadLink”，这是一种特殊的Shell链接(也称为快捷方式)，可链接到您的游戏/程序，从而可以更改其单独的设置。 RadLink的外观和行为类似于普通的快捷方式，只是它的属性设置可以根据您的视频设置进行定制。

RadLinker adds a tab to your Display Properties, but also lets you make custom shortcuts for each game.  In these shortcuts you can specify not only all the details like AntiAliasing, Texture Quality, etc, but the overclocking settings for your Video Card just for that game!  What a fantastic idea.  It works great, and I've been running FarCry and Dungeon Siege at 1600x1200x32 with 4x Anti-Aliasing on and getting 25-30fps!  The difference is NIGHT AND DAY from my NVidia FX5200.  The only problem I've had is with BattleField 1942, apparently there's a problem with the video on Radeons, and I've been unable to get past the menu.

RadLinker在“显示属性”中添加了一个选项卡，还允许您为每个游戏设置自定义快捷方式。 在这些快捷方式中，您不仅可以指定所有细节(例如抗锯齿，纹理质量等)，还可以为该游戏指定视频卡的超频设置！ 真是个好主意。 它运作良好，而且我一直在以1600x1200x32的分辨率运行FarCry和Dungeon Siege，并启用了4x的抗锯齿功能，并能获得25-30fps！ 我的NVidia FX5200与NIGHT AND DAY不同。 我唯一遇到的问题是《战地风云1942》，显然Radeons上的视频存在问题，而且我一直无法通过菜单。

The Processor

处理器

I've also had some trouble with my little P4-3Ghz overheating when rendering DVD Video, squishing TV-Video into WMV or playing games for long periods.

渲染DVD视频，将电视视频压缩为WMV或长时间玩游戏时，我的P4-3Ghz过热也有些麻烦。

After toying with the idea over water cooling, I talked to Richard Campbell (an expert on the subject) and decided that was over-kill.  So, I picked up a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu and installed it.  It was breeze, literally and figuratively.  My average temp is around 42°C and it doesn't get to more than 55-58°C when it's REALLY working.  The case and harddrive are usually around 37°C.

在考虑了水冷却的想法之后，我与理查德·坎贝尔(Richard Campbell)(该问题的专家)进行了交谈，并认为这太过分了。 因此，我拿起Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu并安装了它。 从字面上和形象上来说，微风都是轻而易举的。 我的平均温度在42°C左右，真正工作时不会超过55-58°C。 外壳和硬盘通常在37°C左右。

It also included a Fanmate so I run the Zalman at <2000RPM with the two case fans around 2200RPM.  Currently the loudest thing in the room is the 400W Power Supply fan.  Over all, it's doing OK, and I'm very pleased with the quieter and cooler operation, as well as the stellar 3D and Dual Monitor Support.

它也包括一个Fanmate，所以我以小于2000RPM的速度运行Zalman，两个机箱风扇的转速约为2200RPM。 当前房间中最响的东西是400W电源风扇。 总的来说，它做的还不错，我对更安静，更凉爽的操作以及出色的3D和双显示器支持感到非常满意。

This fan also included a free component called "Cooling After" that runs the fans in your computer for a some number of minutes (I set mine to three minutes) after it's turned off.  This is to avoid the sudden spike in temperature that happens after a hot machines shuts off and the fans stop.  It blinks the power-light to let you know it's still cooling down your system.  A nice little piece of insurance.  Kind of like when your car's engine fan continues even after you turn it off.

该风扇还包括一个名为“ Cooling After ”的免费组件，该组件在关闭后会在计算机中运行风扇几分钟(我将其设置为3分钟)。 这是为了避免在热机器关闭且风扇停止运转后突然出现温度峰值。 它使电源指示灯闪烁，以通知您它仍在冷却系统。 一个不错的小保险。 有点像您的汽车引擎风扇即使关闭后仍继续运转。

The Tools/Software

工具/软件

I'm using the following programs to manage all this:

我正在使用以下程序来管理所有这些：

• RadLinker for ATI Radeon-based cards.  A MUST HAVE.  It's free, but I paypaled the guy $10 just on principle.用于基于ATI Radeon的卡的RadLinker 。 必须的。 它是免费的，但我原则上付给那家伙10美元。
• MBM5 Motherboard Monitor.  Tells you the temperature of the CPU, the other temp monitors on your MB, the RPM of the Fans, and other neat stuff.  The first and the best.  MBM5主板监视器。 告诉您CPU的温度，MB上的其他温度监控器，风扇的RPM以及其他简洁的东西。 最好的。 (Sadly Alex Van Kaam, the author, has decided to stop development on MBM as of today, July 6th, 2004.  It's a shame, but 7.5 years on one program is a long time.  Good luck to him!) (作者Alex Van Kaam于2004年7月6日决定停止在MBM上进行开发。这真是令人遗憾，但是在一个程序上运行7.5年是很长的时间。祝他好运！)
• DTEMP Hard Drive Temperature Meter - Great little tray icon that not only tells you the temperature of your hard drive (assuming it's a newer one with this ability) but it also monitors the S.M.A.R.T. details and MTBF metrics.DTEMP硬盘温度表-很小的托盘图标，它不仅告诉您硬盘的温度(假设它是具有此功能的较新版本)，而且还监视SMART详细信息和MTBF指标。
• SpeedFan.  Programmatically control the speed of your system's fan(s).  This is great if you'd like to get the quietest system possible, while still running the fans at a decent speed.SpeedFan 。 以编程方式控制系统风扇的速度。 如果您想获得尽可能最安静的系统，同时又以适当的速度运转风扇，那就太好了。

Thanks again to everyone who helped me with all this, and for the ATI 9800 Pro suggestion - also running an LCD with DVI versus Analog really is noticeable, especially when the native resolution of the LCD Is 1600x1200.

再次感谢所有为我提供帮助的人，以及ATI 9800 Pro的建议-还要运行带DVI和模拟的LCD确实很引人注目，特别是当LCD的原始分辨率为1600x1200时。
