I need to know if the XP2500 will run on the Asus barebones Terminator barebones system. The chip is not listed by Asus as a supported chip but I was wondering if it could run the chip at 266FSB instead of 333 ? I placed the order on ebuyer this evening and before I could change the order it was...

I ask for you help in selecting the components for a new system. I will be transferring 40 hours of 8mm film to dvd so want to do so as quickly as possible. Most of my time will be in real time with the computer capturing the film and converting it to digital (mpeg) format. Then editing,...

Hi! I got a Mitac Clone MiNote 7321 Notebook from IPC Archtec running a AthlonM 1200 MHz Processor. I worked through the AMD Technical Specification Docs and the...

Hello, It appears that my Epox 8RDA+ has issues with "bad caps" on thos little transistors near the cpu. I am looking to get another board. My question is using the 754 socket, (a friend gave me an sempron AMD 64 XP2800+), what board would you recommend? I also have 2 sticks of kingston hyper X...

Is this hyperthreading all its cracked up to be? Does AMD have a anything similar to compete? Paul

I'm looking to get a little more performance out of an older system. I'm looking to buy an AMD Athlon 1400 - A1400AMS3C. Are there good places to buy something like this? I see a couple on eBay, but was wondering if there were other options. Thank you. Paul

I just upgraded my computer, and a friend of mine with very basic word-processing needs wants to buy my old one. I'm looking for some recommendation on what to charge him for it. One thing worth mentioning here is that this friend sold me his car two years ago, and didn't give me anykind of...

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ advertised on Newegg for $215 US? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-425&catalog=343&depa=1 What is the difference between this and the 3200+ advertised for $404? For $215, I'm ready to jump! --...

I am wondering where you go to get parts? I have always gone to Mwave.com. I havnt had a problem with them so far. I dont know if they have the best prices so I am asking for input. NOTE: As long as they sell AMD, I dont but any intel crap. spit. P.S. I tried Amamax.com to see how they are and...

What should the avg. temp of an AMD 3200+/400fsb be? Mine is running between 47deg.C and 49deg.C. at idle. I have a Thermaltake copper CPU fan installed. Plenty of air moving they case also. Having problems with losing video & re-boots now and then. Usually when playing a news video or doing...

On Sep. 1, 2005 I replaced my normal HSF thermal compound with some 30 year old wheel bearing grease that I had in the garage. Afterwards the temps were the same as the original thermal compound. Today they are still as good are maybe .5C better. AMD64 3000+ CPU Temp: +31°C M/B Temp: +28°C ...

Hi, I have a crappy modem, which, if the power goes off, it needs to be re-initialised by windows. What I mean by that is, I need to go into the modems setup in control panel, and use the !"query modem" option, before I can get anything out of the modem. Does anyone know any automated way...

I don't know if this is well known or not but AMD has used different criteria in giving the Sempron line of cpu's its PR numbers. So don't buy a Sempron 3100+ expecting it to be faster than an Athlon 64 3000+. Because it's nowhere close to as fast. AMD ommitted a bunch of the benchmarks used for...

Hey there guys :) First post here! I haven't bought a desktop puter since my Thunderbird 800 MHz in 2000 - now I'm gonna build a wicked kickass Athlon64 :D Only thing is, being out of the game for so long, I'm deeply confused with the memory situation. I've got my heart set on the Abit KV8-MAX3...

I recently upgraded my CPU from an XP 1800+ to a Barton core 2800+/333. All other hardware is the same, namely a Gigabyte 7N400 Pro2 and a Thermaltake Volcano 7 HSF. I wasn't exactly the coldest rig on the planet...my CPU temps as measured by Easy Tune 4 (Gigabyte utility) were in the low to...

Thermalright AX-7 with your choice of 80mm fans. Nothing near the price range can touch it. "Stuart Southerland" wrote in message ... Thanks to all here for helping a novice build his first computer. So far, so good;...

An old chestnut I guess. My Athlon 3200 just will not idle below 47c and loads up to 53c, no matter what I do to my cooling. It now has a 120mm exhaust behind it, another 120 pulling in at the case front, there's even an 80mm intake on the case side-panel and a dual-fan PSU. System temp,...

There is now a newsgroup for the X86_64 cpu's (Athlon 64,FX,Opteron). alt.comp.hardware.amd.x86-64 You will probably have to ask your news server admin to add it. I've had no luck with verizon yet, but I did get it created on some servers automatically. There is a free server that carries it....
