Hello, all: Got a question. How do I identify a 3000+ Barton? Going to purchase one soon, and I would like to know what it looks like, or the relevant codes on the chip. I've been Googling for a while, and haven't had much luck. Thanks, Bob M.

Hi All, I recently reformatted my hard drive and installed XP Pro. I have noticed lately that my wired, USB, optical mouse has been moving erratically. I can try to drag it across the desktop and it seems to lag a bit. If I'm listening to any MP3's or any other music, it will stutter. It seems...

Title says it all; I have the 4400 currently but am considering going back downward to 3200 stuff. I bought the XMS 4400 to reach high HTT @ 1:1 speeds but am curious if in the long run I'd be better off going with the lower latency 3200, TIA... JR

Running an HP with AMD 1.4GHz Athlon Socket A with 200fsb. I was told by HP support that I could upgrade to an AMD 2GHz Athlon but they are unable to provide a part number for me??? I have only been able to find XP or MP models on the 'net and don't know if they are even what I'm looking for....

I've just got an A7V880 and the cpu temp is read from under the socket. There's no little tape reaching up. My Biostar read the sensor in the cpu. How much cooler should the under-cpu sensor read than the on-die sensor? I'm having voltage reading issues, so don't trust the temp reading, and...

Hello. If your mobo alarm goes off because the temp is too high, is there a way to disable it without rebooting the whole system? I have an Abit NF7s board. Cheers John
