in poland is some popular termoglue "termopox" its very good glue, buy if the heatsink are not to heavy u can ulse alo m3 hotglue twoside tape for that

btw if u use glue with termal pase u can burned out vga or other chip, on the cornrs of chip u will have glue with high thermal resistance, and when chip get wormed up a lot, the paste consystency become more light, and the paste get out under chip/heatsink surface, and u will have in centre of the chip empty place couse the glue in corners holding heatsink a bit higer, gues what hapen then,....

No way Im gonna use that crappy two side tape The glue Im talking about is thermal glue made by Zalman especially for sticking coolers on chipsets,and it says sometn that its a 2 component glue,dunno what that means Btw,I didnt get that part where u said termal PASE,what was the 2nd word again?

Ratz can i use a geforce 4 with 1.4GHz, 128mb of ram, and a 250w powersupply? i have a geforce 2 64mb ulrta and i get like 200fps, would a geforce 4 be better?

Ofc u can,ppl have done much worse things...6xxx geforce cards on 230w noname psu-s and it worked...but I wouldnt recommend it unless its a good brand PSU,like enermax,antec,tagan,bequiet...concerning the card,going from gf2 to gf4 would have some effect,but only in directx 8.1 games,and older...dont expect to play doom III or q4 on that Anyway,my advice to u is to urgently consider getting more RAM,because 128 is just not enough for today...

What RAM are we talking about? Plain DDR400 512 MB here costs 350-400 croatian kunas,which is round 50 euros...and 256 MB PC133 sdram costs 300 kn,which is round 50$,and thats new from the store,used can be found way cheaper then that.
And the 6600gt,there just isnt any sense in running that card on a 1.4 ghz proc with 128 MB ram,my card is also choking on my system which is stronger then yours and its a gf4 card...

Ah so u have RDRAM,thats very bad man Its crap memory and way 2 expensive,u would feel reborn with some DDR400 memory...how much mbos cost there? Here u can find very good nforce 2 boards that support ddr memory,and a 512 mb DDR memory would cost u nothing,if u could get 50 bucks for your old RDRAM like u said...u would just replace it for ddr...and sell your mbo and add little more $$$ for some nforce 2,here they are bout 50 bucks or cheaper,right out of the store.Used can be found for 30 bucks.Im waiting for some cash to get a abit nf7-s or sl,rev 2.0
