Hi, I'm planning on putting together an athlon 64 system when I get my tax return and I'm looking for a good motherboard that will accept 3GB or ram (or more). I know windows doesn't really allow a program to accessmore than 2GB of ram, but I hear XP pro can access more with certain setup....

I'm a little ****ed about this. Newegg has raiseed the price of the TR2-M1 cooler from $8.99 to $15.99. The only reason I can see for this is the popularity and the five star ratings in 40 reviews. This cooler can still be bought for $8-$12 elsewhere. The TR2-M2 is now $3 cheaper than the M1, but...

I upgraded my video card from an GeForce 2 GTX to a GeForce 4 4800/128, and installed a 1.33 Tbird Athlon into my PC Chips M830L mobo. Now I cannot bring the processor up to 1.33 gHz without the system crashing to the Missing or Corrupt SYSTEM File error. When I take it back down to 1.0 gHz the...

Hi, I have recently assembled a new computer for my daughter based on SYNTAX SV266A Mobo. I would like to ask some other users of this MoBo if they can run it at 133MHz ? My machine is crushing consistently. I have Win XP Pro with SP1 so it reboots automatically. When I disable automatic reboot it...

Dear Colleagues, I am in a bit of a quandry and ask for your guidance. I am in the process of building myself a video editing box for use with Adobe Premier. The box itself is going to have 4 gigs of memory and a mid-range, 256mb video card since I am told that video rendering occurs mostly on...

I can have my desktop extend over both monitors, but cannot figure out how to get my TV...

I have heard some people say that windows xp and its applications might not run on Athlon 64 bit processor. And even if Windows XP runs, its not gauranteed that all the 32 bit applications installed on windows will continue to run in the same manner with stability. Can someone throw some light on...

Hi, can you please help me? I figured there would be a few AMD experts in here. This is my sisters PC. It has an AOpen AK-73 Pro mainboard and it presently has a Duron 900 chip in it. I'd like to upgrade it to a faster CPU (the prices seem cheap now), but don't know what the maximum speed chip...

I'm wanting to put an XP 3200+ in a Tyan 2462 mobo - but do they make a 266fsb xp3200+ at all?

I'm running a T-Bird 1.2 on a Gigabyte GA-7ZX mobo and 384MB PC2700 RAM. My other components are acceptable (GeForce4200, SB512, etc). What would be the most reasonable upgrade in terms of mobo+processor, if I want to retain my RAM and all other components? I don't game much but do DVD and photo...

Has AMD announced any plans to release faster athlons (say 3.0 Ghz)? According to Sisoft Sandra 2004 the performance of the Opteron 148 2.2 Ghz is underwhelming -- it's not even 10% faster than my Barton at 2300Mhz in dhrystones and is SLOWER than my Barton in whetstones (FPU). So much for...

My Athlon Thunderbird 1 GHz CPU seems to have called it quits. I'm using an AOpen AK73-1394 mainboard - i.e. KT-133 based (note: NOT the KT-133A based AK73-1394(A)) According to the manual that came with it, it supports Athlon 600 MHz-1 GHz and Duron 600-750 MHz - all of course with a 200 MHz bus....
