Hi all I am running Abit Kr7a with AMD 1700 CPU and 1 GB Memory. I use photoshop and Adobe premier occasionally. Now I want to upgrade to something better, but using my Hard Drives, TV Card, Lan Card and Matrox Grafic Card from my old mobo. I like to stick to ATA though as I can not afford two...

I've read various positive reviews of this stuff, and want to try it out. Does anyone know of a US dealer for it? thx! rms

Hi guys, I just bought myself some new toys and am after a little advice. I'm running an Asrock AM2 board with the 480X SB600 chipset, 4400 65nm Brisbane core cpu, 2gb Corsair 667 RAM (5-5-5-15 i think). I'm only running standard cooling at this stage, and by upping the FSB...

I've been thinking about getting water cooling for my AMD 4200 X2, but have been reading reviews that say they're only getting around 3 to 6 degrees lower than with fan\heatsink. My case has 5 80mm fans and one smaller one (50mm, I think), not counting PS/CPU fans. I live in OR where it does get...

After installing this converter the bios see's the drive but after booting into winxp it doesn't show up. Partition Magic 8 can't see it. When I say bios see's it I mean when the computer is starting up it the screen show's it's installed and I can press the tab key and get into the raid setup...

Very nice deal for any 939/AM2/intel setup, if you have a roomy case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103026 They also sell a 2-pack of 120mm coolermaster fans designed for the geminii, so order them also if needed. I put it on a abit KN8 + opteron170 @ 2.9ghz, with a...

I've suffered a few BSODs after the PC has been on for a few hours, so I think it must be a heat issue. So I loaded up ASUS probe and it says my Opteron 185 is running at 55° at idle. I don't know if ASUS probe is accurate for this particular setup or not. MB is an A8N-SLI with stock AMD HS and...

Can someone explain 64x2 processor and memory speed combinations. Is it correct to assume any 64x2 processor speed will work with any memory speed except at possibly reduced efficiency? What are the max processor speeds what till run with each of the following DDR-800, DDR-667, and DDR -533?

Which is the best upgrade; Ati x850XT PE - Nvidia 8800 GTS or GTX or Opteron 144 - X2 4400+ Ram is 2 Gig on a Vista 64 based System. PCWorld are doing the 4400+ for 90GBP which is pretty good I think. What are your opinions?

Hi all. I bought this Mobo 2nd hand, with AMD 2400, installed XP. Every thing working fine except the network port. Although I have downloaded the Drivers from Asus site, installed and every thing, still no joy. When I connect cable modem, it does not detect the connection. In the Network Control...

I wanted to try and overclock my pc... but i got this program called motherboard monitor 5 and it says my cpu is running at 73 degrees celsisus!! that seems very high to me, and its running like that with 2 fans, one at 4500 rpm and one at 2500 rpm, its always been running like this i guess, since...

I have a constant loud hum from my PC. I had to try out my PSU on a mates computer and with his O/B graphics there little or no sound. I thought it must be graphics card as the Mobo is passively cooled and the CPU has an Arctic Cooler Freezer 64 Pro. i duly went and bought an S2 Accellero...

Any one have opinions on which works better as a overclocking operating system. And does it make a difference if you have AMD or Intel?

This is a bit different. I upgraded my ram from two sticks of Hynix DDR400 (2x512MB) to two sticks Hynix DDR400 (2x1024MB). Now my Opteron 144 (Venus) will only run at 2.5GHz max. Previously it would do 2.7GHz. The new ram is as quick as the old stuff so thats not the issue. I throttled...

Installed a new SATA II drive, from that point it wouldn't allow a BOOT without me taking ALL OC off. Tried just very minor OC and it refused to Boot. That makes no sense. Why does SATA II drives Force you to undo all OC'ed properties?

I just bought an AM2 X2 3600 (65w version @ 1.9ghz) and a Gigabyte M55SLI-S4 rev.2 motherboard and 2 x 1Gb sticks of 667 DDR2. I'm looking at overclocking it to get that little bit extra out of it, as I had my old Sempron 3000 running at 2.1Ghz from the standard 1.6Ghz, by only raising the FSB,...

ABIT KV7 motherboard with two Maxtor ATA 133 drives. I would like to buy at least one new drive and wonder if ATA 100 drive would work with the 133 drives on the same channel or on different channel and need info on SATA drives, can they work with 133 or 100 drives? JNB

My daughter's computer uses an ASUS A8V motherboard and W2K SP4. It was using a Venice 3000, but this morhing I finally got around to installing the 3800X2. The motherboard detected the new CPU OK. The O/S didn't seem to notice any difference. Everything is working. System Properties...
