hi guys newbie here i have abit nf7 s mobo athlon 2200 XP i want to monotor my cpu temp under windows, what programs do you guys use? i have looked at speedfan, but cannot find a download link that works..

Microsoft updated hotfix 896296 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896256/) in June 2006 from v3 to v3.1 (possibly to do with AMD AM2 and/or Intel Conroe support). They seem also to have removed the download and reverted to the original release policy of making people contact Microsoft support...

Do AMD Athlon XP supporting MBRDs utilise dual channel RAM? I know that P4 based MBRDs do. P4 Quad pumps the FSB. The DDR RAM gets that much bits flowing across the bus by dual pumping via the DDR feature, and by using the dual channel. But seems to me that if AMD based MBRDs utilised dual...

Am in the UK. Running an old system which works quite well: Via 266 mobo with Duron 1800 processor and 768MB of SD-RAM. Will upgrade the system when I need the extra power. Currently need to add to my data storage. Don't want to get Parallel IDE (PATA) because newer mobos will support only...

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32628 Looks like AMD is finally in level playing field with Intel by making a major deal with Dell. However, by looking at the following link, is this deal a good thing? http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32723 Is it my imagination,...

Having been with AMD for years and very happy with the products, I'm finding the news about conroe very interesting. If the power and overclckng info surrounding the conroe proves to be accurate, what has AMD got lined up to counteract the Intel attack on the enthusiast market? Conroe is out...

Current price for a S939 A64 3800+ Venice ("BP" retail box w/ HSF) is $149 on ZipZoomFly. Seems like a pretty good deal.

I need help on finding a new HSF. I just got an Athlon XP 3000+ (barton) and it seems to run way hotter then my old XP 2100+ (tbread) that was OC'd to 2600+. I was using a cooler master copper heat pipe HSF with 6500 rpm fan. With the fan running at half speed (through a fan bus) my digidoc was...

I will build a new system soon. I've more-or-less decided what will be in it. I still need to pick something to go around it. I'd like a case which can take 120mm fans, as I've lived with a noisy machine for ages, and I'd expect the big fans to be a quieter option. I think I'd like some dust...

I've just installed a nice shiny, new 900w psu - it went on then I turned off now it has stopped working!!! I'm in the UK but the psu came with a US/Euro plug - are te voltages different on psu's? It powered on once with a uk 3pin power lead. Tia

See the new physics chip is out in the UK - will there be any benefit to current games or is it a case of waiting to see what games are written to support this new technology (and what ATI and Nvidia do)?

I get a 3500+ one of these days but are thinking about chaning the stock cooler. Is it easy to change ? Regards Jakob

I'm looking at getting an Optron 144. I've got an X1600 AGP card and 3 stick of 512MB PC3200 memory. And a 600W power supply, 1 SATA & 1 PATA HD and a DVD burn & a DVD player. What would be a good motherboard for overclocking?
