from what I've gathered reading up on this today, they are mostly a revised version of the nforce2 SPP boards just with the new chipset on. Are these worth touching yet or would it be wise to let the platform mature a bit instead of buying one of the first boards? any advice appreciated :) thanks

I've finally decided to get the A7N8X Deluxe MB but now I am confused by all the different versions/speed CPUs. Should I buy now or wait? What is the best VALUE cpu (cost vs performance for a non-gamer who is getting into photo/video editing. TIA, Arawak

I suggest a 2500+ barton, it will happily run at 2800+ (or 3200+) speeds, at quite a bit less. rms

Please tell me if I'm making a mistake by sending it back. Right now I have it running at 11 x 200 with the vcore set at 1.725. It will post at 2300 but windows will not load. I can live with that. CPU temp is 32C and it's been as high as 40C under load ( the room is 79F right now). Dawn Demo and...

For the first time I have been actually looking in my BIOS and I found this CPU Speed setting. Currently it is at 100mhz/100 or something like that. But I can change it all the way up to 133mhz/133 I belive. Should I change this setting? Just asking because I'm not familiar with BIOS settings...

Do present cpu`s have built-in thermal diodes* ? If an older cpu ( e.g. duron 750 ) without * is put into such a socket A, will cpu temperature be readable at all ?

I replaced my Leadtek K7NCR18 with an Epox 8KRA+ and my 2500+ Barton works with all three brands of memory I have tried in it. The Leadtek is great with the 133/266 2100+ Palomino so I will keep it to run that processor in a second machine.

Guess what - its me again! :D Having sorted my previous problem out - i've been looking at THG and seeing how the multiplier is unlocked - is this the same method for the XP1600+? Also - a friend of mine just got a 900 t-bird second hand to upgrade his old machine - can i just connect the...

In my BIOS settings I am able to change the v.Core option +10% +25% or somthing like that. Just want to know what this does. I know it can change the temp of the CPU.

Any thoughts on them? Is Alumina as good as Silver? I have some of each I can use, but the Silver is about a year old while I just got the Alumina the other day so it's fresher. I'm thinking go Alumina mainly because it's newer unless there's a good reason not to.

MSI K7N2 D and athlon 2400+. Set it at 24x100 and wouldn't go , not even bios. Cleared cmos, and reset jumper 10 , which is safe mode, and still nothing, Think it's toast? Michael Zentner
