Could anyone tell me if a Sempron 3000 is a worthwhile upgrade over an Athlon XP 2500? My mother board is socket 462 and will only handle a 333 FSB. There is bios support for up to a sempron 3000 or an Athlon XP 3000. Which would be my best buy off eBay if I wanted to upgrade? Also does...

Howdy All; This is my first AMD based board. I look at the bios and I am not quite sure the steps to overclocking an AMD board. Most Intel boardS are the speed and a multiplier. What steps must I do to do the overclocking right? Thanks in advance. JAS

How well can I o/c this cpu on msi k8mm3? Thanks.

Looking to upgrade on my A8n-Premium board. Prices can be pretty close.....is there a comparison on the web?

I saw on ebay somebody selling some K6 CPUs. One caught my eye due to the price: US 239.99 ! It is a K6-3+ 550 MHz Were these very rare or what? The going price for a slower K6-3 or K6-2+ seems to be $20.

can you use DDR memory in a Mother Board that specifies DDR2 memory? thanks

I have been tring here and about the best I can do is 5800Mhz. Has anyone done better? If so how you do it. Richard

Hi there! I have a problem that seems to be serious: I have a Fujitsu Siemens A1630 notebook with a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ that works at the frequency of 2400MHz. The problem is: every operating system recognizes it running at 800MHz, no differences between Vista or Ubuntu, they simply show only...

Wondering if anyone has an idea here. S2KCTL is a great CPU software cooler for AMD CPU's that works by issuing a HALT command when the CPU is idling. It worked great, reduced my temps by 10 to 15 degrees C, but now, all of a sudden, it doesn't. I monitored the CPU and it is idling. The only...

I have a water cooled athlon 64 x2 4800 and the other day when I walked in the room I smelt the faint smell of anti-freeze. So I checked my temps and saw that the cpu was @105c. I immediately shut it down and took care of the problem, rebooted and everything seems fine. My question is does...

Hi all. I've been away from the pc hardcore hardware scene for a few years and have lost quite a bit of knowledge in the process. So, after just plopping in a Opty 185 into my socket 939 board to eke a bit more out of my set-up, I was hoping to get some good advice. Current set-up: Opty...

Hi there, Any good (and cheap) motherboard base on AMD 690V ? I'm looking for ATX form factor, 3 PCI, 2 IDE Because this is new chipset, do we must wait for another month for update BIOS/ rev 2 board ?

Greetings, I'm currently running an Athlon 4200 X2 o/c'ed to 2.6ghz. No voltage change from stock. I would like to get as much out of the system to extend its life as much as possible. I just upgraded my wife's computer with an Opteron 170 2.0ghz processor from a 3700 San Diego. Big...
