CPU-fan issue by
Bob Davis
A friend purchased a P35-DS3P mobo with two sticks of 1gb DDR2 RAM, a 3-pin
Coolermaster HSF, and a PCI-E video card to upgrade an older P4 478 system
in an ATX case. The PSU is a 480W Antec Truepower, and when everything is
connected the only response is a quick flicker of the CPU fan--no POST,...

Widescreen res in DVI by
Bob Davis
I assembled two computers for friends recently, both with the new Dell 2405
widescreen monitor. One uses an Nvidia FX5200, the other an FX5500, both
with DVI output--but when connected will not show any widescreen resolution

(55 watt) single processor Opteron (146 HE) CPU -- either
the boxed or the tray version -- in stock? The part number for

Does the Asus SK8V motherboard support Opteron 240EE ? by
Bob Day
The 240EE is a low power Opteron CPU that runs at
1.15 volts rather than the 1.5 volts of the standard
Opterons. Does anyone know whether the SK8V will
detect that the CPU is a 240EE and, accordingly, adjust
the CPU voltage to 1.15 volts?

better alternatives?
