hello! I have a amd athlon xp2600+ prosessor, 2,08Ghz. My problem is that the cpu is working to hard, so the computer is working slow. If i open a program or game (f.ex: half life) the cpu is going up to 100% and stays there for a while. Sometimes my computer is locked, and i must restart it. I...

Ready to buy another CPU now. After playing with my XP2200+ and seeing it once hit 2.25GHz (before it rebooted) I now want to play with the XP2500+ Anyone know where I can get one in UK at best price whilst making sure it is pre-week 39, i.e not multiplier locked. Also, what is it possible to get...

Would it be needed for oc'ing a 2100+? The aeroflow heatsink/fan that I purchased will be coming with a thermal paste. Is this Arctic Silver worth the $12? Also, I've been reading about Ram heatspreaders. Is that for regular memory or video memory? And how much do you have to overclock to need...

Hi, According to one of my colleagues (we're both programmers) the least-expensive Athlon XP that can clocked up to AMD's fastest (Athlon) speeds is the 2500+. And this is, according again to my colleague, because this is the slowest Athlon XP that's Barton-core. I plan to do this the same as he...

Forum, The Corsair memory tudor is VERY INFORMATIVE. If anybody wants to learn about how memory is rated/works, in understandable terms, highly recommended. JS

I am putting together a new system for myself and need to know what is a good choice for a P/S.

Hi, I'm overclocking Barton 2600 and I guess I'm having a little problem here (maybe its not a problem at all but it never hurts to ask ;) .. My mobo is Soltek 75FRN2-L. Good mobo, I'm happy with it so far (NForce2 Ultra400, DualChannel DDR). I have my RAM (Kinston Value RAM, PC3200CL3) installed...

At what temp should one begin to worry??? On my SOYO the AntiBurnRegulator is set at default 85C but how high is SAFE??? Like would 90C be too hot OR... How hot can one safely have a CPU stay at for extended periods of time without threat of longterm damage to the CPU and other components...

I think Vantec, the silver one with the 4 controlers. Any other ideas ? Just going to put all my fans on 7 Volts i mean 5 volts when not playing games. Thanks.

Zalman CNPS7000 series - any experience? better than Thermalright SK7? (xp2600 Barton) tia Kristi

Quick question, hope it's not dumb, but I'm confused about a couple of things in my quest to buy a new mobo and memory, which I will probably o/c. Looking around, I'm thinking nForce2 and some sort of barton core. Here are the questions: Latency. Looked around, and didn't see any good...

S. Squirrel wrote: When overclocking a 2500 barton for example when I increase the multiplier Bios reports the speed instead of the AMD CPU type. for example if i leave the bios as default it correctly detects a 2500 but if i mess with multipliers to match a 2600/2700/2800 it then ...

Hi, AMD XP 2600 (200x11.5), MSI K7N2-L delta, kingston 3200 1 gig Ive been using MBM 5 for a while...and usually my cpu idles at 50c which seems high since im using volcano 9...wut is the correct winbond setting 1, 2, or 3??

Hi guys. I just ordered a msi kt6delta mobo, a barton 2800+, and a stick of elixer pc3200. I wish would have checked here first because it seems 2500 have the better multiplier and it was about 50$ cheaper. I read that that amd only suppors 400mhz memory. could I have used pc3500 for more head...

I was going to go for a 2500+ and try and find a pre-week 39. Just a quick Q but are teh 2600+ locked too after week 39? Thanks Mick

I have a GA-7VAX with a Barton 2500, 512 PC2700, working fine @ 1827mhz and smooth performance. I want to bump up performance a little but aren't sure exactly what to do. In the BIOS for freq/volt control when I change the FSB freq I get a box that says 'key in a DEC number, min 166 max 250' is...
