Hey I have a fairly new system with a 2800+ overclocked to 3200+ equivilant 2.2GHz Clock. It idles at 57C and climbs into the mid 60s under a high load. Are these temparatures acceptable or should i reel it in a little. Thanx Ben

Ok, I'm about to build a new pooter and I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest. My current computer is a XP 1800+ on an Abit KR7A mobo with a gig of ram. Anyway, it looks like the XP 2800+ 333 Mhz. is the best chip for the money on Pricewatch.com. @ $115 so I was wondering if any...

Hi everyone... Anybody got it working? I've placed the Dawn OpenGL wrapper and the cat 3.6 OpenGL driver in the bin directory... it works (there are no errors), but you seem not to get any textures. Any ideas? Just wondering what Dawns little sister looks like :-)

I was looking at a new PC on Ebay and I saw one at a good price with a Sempron processor. I read that they won't work for 64 bit and there slower than athlons. My main concern though is are they compatible with everything a Athlon is compatible with? I'm asking because I heard Celeron...

I have my Duron 1.8GHz over clocked to 1.9GHz. After running a bunch of ..mpg files while defragging the HD and other operations, the CPU was up to 48 degrees C with a case temp of 37 degrees C. Could anyone comment if this is a typical CPU temp? Is the difference btwn case and CPU temps...
