Hello Does anyone has an experience overclocking AMD Duron (Spitfire) processors? I got Epox 8RDA3I mainboard with old Duron 800MHz - it has multiplayer/fsb locked. How to OC such thing? I've heard that L1 briges are most important here... Thnx for any information. Kobi

Apologies if this is off-topic, but there doesn't seem to be any other place to ask. I am looking for an Athlon CPU (with or without heat sink and fan) up to 1400 MHz. Does anyone know if these are still available anywhere? Thanks in advance.

I have a Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev. 2. I am running a Barton 2500+ at 2.2ghz (200x11) .What would be the best bios settings for 2 sticks of Corsair 512MB XMS 3500 memory at these speeds? I want the best of both worlds... Max speed without compromising stability. Thanks

Anyone bought an XP2100 from newegg lately? If so, is it locked? Or is it the new Barton's that are the only XP's locked. Thanks. bluestringer

Hi, had a bit more spare time to play with my 3 month old AMD rig. I have become aware that my FSB is changing by itself, even though it is set at 220MHz FSB in BIOS?. The machine is running stably, but I am curious. One program that shows this issue is CPU-Z (CPU Tab) where it shows you your...

I've seen AXDA2000DUT3C, and AXDA2000DKT3C. I've seen some as Thorton. Are Thortons good? Dave

Overclocking A64s is still very tricky. I suggest you ask on overclocking sites like xtremesystems or overclockers or procooling. rms

I currently have the AthlonXP 1700+. I have it running at 9.5 x 225MHz (2.14GHz) and I love it! I now have an opportunity to get a Barton 2500+, but I don't know if the Barton is locked or not. My question is simple: is the upgrade worth it or should I sit tight until I do a *FULL* upgrade to...

Is the cpu fan included in the box?

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...

Hello, I am building a fairly "budget" computer for a friend. I am not really skimping on the CPU and MB. I am getting a 2500+ and using the ASUS A7N8X-X. I am able to do those two things for about 155.00. For my self I would not skimp on the Ram, but with the other necessary components that I...
