I have an extra Athlon XP1800 laying around and thought it would be a good project to build a new system on. The budget is approx $600-$700 I have a case, albeit a no name steal case. Its atx form factor, free and has a 20gig drive in it that will become a backup drive. I have an extra...

Would you help me by running a benchmark on AMD64 and P4 systems with dual-channel DDR? I am trying to decide on getting an Athlon 64 or a P4 (875 or 865xx) dual-channel PC3200 system. Most of the machine's CPU cycles will be used to run just one program, which happens to be very...

Hello, I have an Asus A7M266-D with dual Athlon MP 1.2ghz and i'me looking to upgrade. I'me wondering where i would get the biggest performance boost. By grabbing two (relativley cheap) Athlon XP processors? Or dropping two Athlon MP processors? And what is the difference between Athlon MP and...

In article , "CrackerJack" says... What exactly is the problem if too much cpu compound is put on the core and it gets squashed out onto the surrounding area? Apart from looking messy, is there any real problem with...

No

Correction, the shim is NOT for the purposes of keeping weight off the core, although it indeed may help in this regard. The shim is primarily to prevent "rocking" of the HSF during installation. Because the core is exposed, if you don't place/keep the HSF assembly exactly parallel to the surface...

I've got an early socket a Athlon that uses 100 MHz front side bus. I read somewhere that the Thunderbird becomes unstable beyond 150MHz fsb. Is this true? I thought cpus didn't care much about the external memory speed. I think my motherboard is stuffed and would be happy to get a new motherboard...

I just bought a xp 2800 It's running great except its running a little warm in the 51c range on no load. Im curently using the stock heatsink fan. I was shocked to see how big it was and that it had a copper plate, But I think Im just going to break down and buy an all copper heatsink fan. What I...

I've just installed MSI Core Center Pro, to try and check my CPU temp from within windows. Any other program I've tried reports CPU tems of 185 C....obviously wrong. Core center reports a CPU temp of 33C and system temp of 41C, which sounds to me like the wrong way round??? Can anyone recoomend a...

I have both of these but haven't had time to take both systems down and remove their heatsinks. The TR2-M2 works great on a Barton 2500+ @ 3200+ with a much quieter fan than the Volcano.....but I still wish it had temp sensitive speed control. Chris

I just bought an EPoX 8RGMI & compared the graphics speed to my Asus A7N266-VM. I ran a 3d screen saver that shows the frames/sec. http://eng.epox.com.tw/cgi/product.cgi?pn=EP-8RGMI (A VERY nice board with good overclocking of both CPU/graphics) CPU: AMD 2000XP; Form Factor-micro-ATX; OS: SuSE...
