Hiya Soupladel... if you can do it, the 2400+ will run ok at an FSB of 200 with a 10x multiplier. But I currently cannot even get another 50Mhz out of the CPU no matter how I screw with the FSBxMultiplier combos and I did try taking VCore up a bit (no higher than 1.725 - I'd rather have it 'stock'...

I bought an Athlon XP 3000+ (Barton) and an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard. For some odd reason, the board detects the processor as an Athlon XP 1300mhz (!!!). This may have happened after a system crash...I installed new nVidia drivers for my GeForceFX 5600 128MB ddr card and the installer hung...

I have an old Tbird 700 (franlky for what I use it, it's powerful enough) I have a Volcano 7 or 9 on it, don't remember, one with a copper base the temperature for the CPU is around 70 Celsius when idle, with a room temperature of about 23 celsius. Is this normal? I have a gigabyte 7ZX...

I want to upgrade my Asus AS7-VM motherboard. It currently has an Athlon 1GHz processor. According to Asus it will take up to a 1.4GHz Athlon or 900 MHz Duron, I don't see why there is a difference in CPU speed. I checked the local computer store and it is only possible to get Duron processors,...

I've been running slackware for a few years now on a dual PIII 600. It was a screamer when I bought it, but it's getting kinda slow on builds. Built firefox last night--started the build watched "Forbidden Planet" with my wife, and the damned thing was still building when we went...

Hi,i have just purchased and installed a Sempron 2600+ after years of using Intel cpu's.it is installed using the heatsink and fan that came in the box and is running at about 60 degrees c,is this normal for amd processors or should i invest in a better quality hs/fan?

Is it possible for a processor to go over 100%? I have an AMD 3200+ /400. Some of the drawing I do is pushing it up to 100% and then I get a lock up or reboot. Rudy

I just purchased and XP3000+ AMD for my MSI MB. By default it sets the CPU FSB clock to 133MHz and the CPU Ratio is set auto resulting in only a processor speed of 1.7 GHz. I tried setting the FSB clock to 150 and Ration to 14 to get a speed of 2.1 GHz (150x14), which this processor should do....

Perhaps I have picked the wrong time to think about building a new machine? I presently have an Athlon XP2600+ which I thought about giving to one of my children. HOWEVER....... There is at present no Windows 64 Bit operating system nor any usable (for me) 64 Bit programs YET the cost of a 64 Bit...

Ok...I need someone to tell me I'm not crazy. I recently bought a retail boxed FX 2600+ (333). I installed it with no problems and just for the heck of if I fired up WCPUID and it id's as a 3200+! I thought maybe that WCPUID wasn't reading the info correctly so I went to AMD's site and download...

Well, the AMD Athlon64 3000+ looks like the best thing since sliced bread, based on its un-overclocked results: http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=de%7Cen&u=http://www.hardtecs4u.com/reviews/2003/amd_athlon64_3000/&prev=/language_tools (thx to Derek Baker for the...

I would like to upgrade my PC on my own, I will take any advice I can get. I have changed hard drives, memory, burners and other simple things but I have never attempted anything like a motherboard and processor. I currently have a ECS P4VMM motherboard with a Intel p4 1.6 processor. I have two...

Hi, I have a GA-7VA motherboard running a XP 2400 with 512 Ram. I have a nice ventilated case, and was wondering about a case fan to keep things cool. The following temperature reading I have now: CPU: Idle = 53 degrees Full load = 62 degrees System: 33-35 degrees Are these temperature...

I went to Amptron website today. Lo & behold they were advertising not only Amptron(PC Chips} but also ASRock, Albatron & MSI. Do they actually own all these brands too? It was all very interesting as I had not been there in about a year or so.

i had a 1200 athlon with a ecs k7s5a motherboard. the cpu FRIED ITSELF. i have tested the motherboard and memory, and both are FINE. should i worry about putting a new chip in the motherboard where my 1200 fried???

System has been running fine for months then all of a sudden, starting a couple of weeks ago, both CPU's in the machine will quickly equal crashed hard drives and instant freezes on Windows start (including setup).. Can run the machine fine running solo on either processor. Thought it might...

I am looking at getting a 2600+ and 2x256MB PC3700. The shop I am going to get this from has an AOPEN NForce2 Mainboard for a reasonable price. Does anyone here have experience with AOPEN's NForce2 boards (I've used ASUS for my last builds) good or bad? I'm looking for opinions on them as I...
