CPU/motherboard/Gfx by
Gaidheal
Well... I recently tarted my system up a bit... and it so happens I bought
the MSI 7NNXP (nForce 2 with Soundstorm) board and an FX5600.
The board is excellent, my CPU is an Athlon XP 2400+ which I run at 10x200
to give the 2Ghz 'stock' speed. All my messing seems to suggest the board
itself will...

266 FSB vs 133 FSB by
Gaidheal
Actually... the FSB is indeed 133Mhz. The CPU simply operates in its core
at a much faster rate than this by using a multiplier. And since all
Athlons now are DDR memory bus has double throughput of "normal" SDRAM
system with the same processor and memory. The bus clock is not actually

CPU upgrades (Barton Blues) by
Gaidheal
Your new fast processor will sit idle for as much as 90% of its duty cycle.
Your bottleneck for performance will depend what you are doing.. but with
"new" games it will be a combination of your video subsystem and your memory
subsystem. Upping the FSB won't touch your memory, either. They...

'warpspeeder' utility that shipped with the mobo says that my CPU clock is

Problem Solved by
Gary Young
I replaced my Leadtek K7NCR18 with an Epox 8KRA+ and my 2500+ Barton works
with all three brands of memory I have tried in it. The Leadtek is great
with the 133/266 2100+ Palomino so I will keep it to run that processor in a
second machine.

Arctic Silver or Arctic Alumina? by
Ransack The Elder
Any thoughts on them? Is Alumina as good as Silver? I have some of each I
can use, but the Silver is about a year old while I just got the Alumina the
other day so it's fresher. I'm thinking go Alumina mainly because it's newer
unless there's a good reason not to.

Did I make a mistake? by
Ransack The Elder
Ordered a new processor today, I ordered the XP 2600+. Should I have gotten
the Barton 2500 instead? I went with clock speed over cache, both are the
same price. Would the slower Barton's extra cache be better for video
capturing/editing?
