Hello, I was wanting to upgrade my IBM computer. Since overclocking is out of the question, I was wondering if I could just replace the willamette CPU with a Northwood P4A or P4B that is supported by Socket 478? Please see my specs below for further info. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi JJ, jeg har lige bygget en ny Computer: P4 2.8C/800 Northwood 2x512 DDR400 RAM ASUS 5200 128MB 40G Maxtor Lite-On CD-RW/DVD XP Prof (OEM) TAGAN 380W

Did anyone have any luck with AXP-M (Barton) in older KT-133 (not A) boards? Particularly I am looking for a way to speed up an old MSI K7T Pro2 that currently has Duron 750 installed. I figured out that even though the FSB is limited to 100, the fact that mobile Barton is not multiplier-locked...

Hi I'm showing my ignorance here but I wouldn't know what a Transmeta cpu is like if I fell over one. Are they any good? Would I be better off just looking at AMD or Intel? Have fun Peter Mount

First bunch of Nocona benchs have come out, this one from GamePC: http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=noconaopteron&page=1&cookie%5Ftest=1 Looks like the Nocona isn't a bad performer, seems to be better at workstation-style applications than at server-style applications. Yousuf...

I have an AMD 1700+. My old motherboard http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7S333&langs=01 started to have this problem where when I turned on the computer it would power off after about 5 seconds. No beeps. No video. Just off. So I purchased a new...

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr Anybody speak German ? All i understand are numbers, and those speak for the Opteron. Thats the only VS I'w seen on the net so far.Looks like Intels "me too" is SLOW.

I know this would interest me if it's actually available, and not just a prototype: http://desktops.engadget.com/entry/7548889455600756/ The price seems a little high ($1650 for the 1.7GHz Pentium M model), and it doesn't comment on whether you can put a real graphics card in it or not. On the...

I got this old slot 1 computer with a celeron 333.... kind of slow. It's a Shuttle Hot 637v3.1 with latest Bios 637awiqb The readme on the Bios mentions support for Pentium III CPU. Does anyone know if this motherboard will take a P3... and if so... which ones? The manual only shows 50, 60,...

hello, need to compare amd, pentium and celeron chips of equivalent 'performance' is there a Web site that someone could post? thanks

Vague rumor has it that the first Athlon 64 PCI Express chipsets will ship in Q3 sometime. Anyone know any more details than that? Cheers! Rob

I want to upgrade my Celeron 1.7Ghz to possibly Celeron D 335 or P4 2.8B-GHz (my mobo supports 533 FSB). The P4 is more expensive but I wonder how much faster it is then the new celerons. But I guess its too early for benchmarks?

HP says it is recalling some of its Intel mobile chipset (model 845, 852, and 855) machines. Says that there may be a flaw which causes corrupt results when paired with certain brands and models of RAM. http://tinyurl.com/263wc or long...

How do the VIA VT6202 and VT6212 USB 2.0 chips differ to the user, other than the latter being faster (www.xbitlabs.com) and apparently more compatible with my old FIC VA-503+ mobo (Socket 7, VIA MVP3-based)? Where can I find detailed information about these chips? VIA won't disclose anything...
