I'm buying a new notebook in the next few days and I had a quick question. I know how to do a clean install of the OS but once that is done, I need to install the drivers for the hardware in the notebook. I have heard there is a specific order in which they should be installed in, and that the...

I just built my new rig based on ASUS A8V mobo and Athlon64 3500+ CPU. So far the system works great when "FSB" is overclocked to 217MHz FSB. No need to change multiplier or increase the CPU core voltage. I saw in the amdzone review of this board that there should be a line in BIOS to lock the...

hello folks I did a Motherboard CPU Case transplant to my PC, I knew windows xp pro would throw a major wobbly, but thought 'Repair' would get it back to V1.0 state.... I did this last time when upgrading from CPU + mobo from P3 to P4, and managed to get back up with all progframs settings...

What is the exact difference between the AMD XP and MP. I'm asking because I recently upgraded and have two AMD 1900+ MPs and was wondering if I would be able to use them in a motherboard made for AMD XPs or would I have to get dual proc motherboard in order to use them? Any help and links to...

Hello, I have a question about methods of measuring PCI bandwidth. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas. What I am looking for is an "industry standard" method. At this point, such software does not exist in SPEC. Different HBA cards such as Myricom and Mellanox (Myrinet and Infiniband hosts)...

Hi , after flashing the BIOS of my K8V to Rev. 1003, which I hoped would solve my problems with getting CnQ to work, actually made my problems worse. Without CnQ, using QFan the MoBo runs quite well, but I´d like to get CnQ to work as the PC runs day and night and electricity isn´t as cheap as it...
