I've been offered an Athlon XP 3200+ plus A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard combo for about $195. First, is this a good price ? Secondly, how would this combo stack up against an A64 2800+ on a K8V mobo, running existing games and other apps, all other things being equal ? Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi, Hardware breakpoints in on-chip debuggers monitor the address bus to check the execution context (and conditions) to break. So here is a problem. Consider a CPU which has a pipelined architecture. We have added a hardware breakpoint using a on-chip debugger. Now if the hardware breakpoint...

Hi.. I have read about a lot of "freezing" problems on this group but couldn't find a solution to my problem. My system freezes in less than 30 minutes time. If it runs successfully for that period, it will run well for the rest of the time. When the system freezes, colored patches start appearing...

I upgraded my PC to a A7V600 mb and a AMD XP 2200+. The PC does not boot up properly, a few seconds after hitting the power switch you can hear the CPU fan dying for a few seconds, then it picks up again. When I go into BIOS it freezes up after a while. And when I actually get past booting and...

I have (well maybe "had") an AMD 1.1 Ghz Thunderbird. Suddenly the PC shut off and I immediately smelled burning.When I try to turn it on, there's no juice in the power supply (well, the fan doesn't turn). Can I assume it's a bad PSU? If not and it's the CPU, why isn't the PSU fan turning? How...

Hi there!!! I have a problem. My computer restarts when its try to boot from hard disk. I format it, install windows, reboot it that the instalation would continue from hard disk but when it searches a boot from hard disk it restarts. What is a meaning of this...

I'd like to know what anyone would recommend for a power supply besides Antec. I've looked for an Antec but the only ones I could find that weren't too expensive were 300W or under. As I'll probably get an Athlon 64 with everything that goes along with it, this probably won't be enough. I...

I know I know...this is an age-old question, but...has anyone experienced heating problems with a Pentium 4 processor? AMD processors used to be running a lot hotter than Intel's until the recent past, but for the latest models, Intel's seemed to heat a little more, from what I've read. ...

I know this question might have been asked 1000 times, but I have a choice between a Celeron 2.8 GHz and a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz. They're roughly the same price so I'd like to know if they're equivalent or if the P4 is superior. Thanks!

I had a choice between a P4 3.0 GHz and an Athlon 64 3000+, and it now seems like I'll buy the Athlon 64, since it seems the better choice for games. However, I'd like to know if those of you who have bought the retail version have had any heating problems with the provided fan and heatsink? ...
