I'm planning to build an Athlon 64 3000+ system with 1GB DDR400, but I've heard that (on paper at least) this processor can't handle two double-sided DIMMs at DDR400 speed. However, I took a look at the manual for the MSI K8N NEO FSR motherboard (based on the nForce3 250Gb chipset), which claims...

Thank you for your time reading, I have a ECS K7S5A upgrading to a Shuttle AN35N-Ultra 400. The Tbred (I think is locked) is running 15X147 on the ECS. Has anyone reached 166 fsb with a locked 2400? When I get the Shuttle, in a day or so, I will set conservative to get XP pro re loaded, then I...

what heatsink can i use for opteron 244 ? thank you N.G.

the latest issue came in the other day and I thought that I had a bargain when I read the 24/7 order advert. a Geforce 6800 for £139 but when I go to their website it's £199. is this false advertising or I am being a little silly about this issue. Robin

g'day all, just wondering what your opinions are on the following: a ten degree celcius temperature differential between the diode and the socket temp under full load. seems a bit odd to me. i thought perhaps this was a sign that my HSF wasn't sitting very well on my xp2500 at 2.2ghz. in a few...

Hello I have ordered the following cooler from komplett; http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=119824&cks=PRL It is my plan to use this to replace an old hsf on a box I use that has a Pentium 3 1ghz (133fsb) in it. My other box is a XP 2500+@3200+ 1.8v and this currently has a...

OK, I ran an MSI K7T Turbo for a few years and achieved good cooling, good temps with a variety of processors. Best I could do was with an XP2400 undervolted to 1.5v and cpu temps of 35-37c. Silly me flashed the board with an illegal bios and killed it. I purchased, as a replacement an Asrock...

I have a Soyo SY-KT600 with a 200 Max FSB, socket A with a 2200+ currently. What's the best proc to upgrade to that would be mildly overclockable? I heard the 2500 bartons (even the new ones) can be clocked up to 3k speeds. At $80 a pop, it sounds like a good deal, but is upgrading to a 200MHz...

I just bought an Athlon XP 2500+ cpu but it's only running at 1.1Ghz instead of 1.83Ghz like it's supposed to. When I checked System Info/Summary, the info for processor was: x86 Family 6 Model 10 Stepping 0 AuthenticAMD ~1100Mhz. I have it on a new Chaintech 7NJL1 Apogee board with 2 256mb sticks...

When overclocking the bus, could that throw the sound card off as far as midi clock or bitrate? I have a sb live. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/

Ok, my gut feeling was that installing a copper shim was a mod that could provide measurable benefits. My reasoning was as follows: Presently my Maze3 waterblock is only slightly warm at the edges of the block, indicating a large thermal gradient between the center water channel and the...

I run XP. About 7 or 8 months ago I was going to upgrade my ailing 700MHz Duron for a Barton 2500. But has the attractiveness of the Barton 2500 approach disappeared on account of Athlon 64 now being more popular these days? I don't know much about Athlon 64 expect I have heard...

is the same? what about performance? thx carlos

what is the best cooler for opteron 244 thanks elno

Well, I have succeeded in overclocking my XP2400+ T-Bred (B) from default multiplier 15X and 2000MHz *up* to present 17X (9X) and 2306.57MHz at 135.60 System clock. Thats a 300 MHz increase from default. This was obtained by slowly incrementally increasing the multiplier, V-core and bus speed up...

Last Monday, lightning struck a friend's house and damaged several computers that are connected as a neighbourhood LAN. In one of these some chips on the mobo were literally blown up. I removed the processor (an Athlon XP 2400+) and asked the owner and his uncle (a close friend and fairly...

I have an Ausu K8V SE Deluxe. I currently have 2 PATA drives....200GB Maxtor and 250GB WD installed in the system already.. I just bought 2 SATA Maxtor 250GB drives. I would like to stripe these 2 drives. The Asus board has 2 sets of 2 SATA ports. Which ones should I use for the new drives ?...

I know this has been discussed before, and I'm not trying to be critical of peoples' choices - what works for you works for you, and that's great. However, the never-ending problems and little nit-picky issues with SBLive cards never ceases to amaze me. How in the hell did this company gain...
