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

Will a Gateway Thunderbird processor work in a non-Gateway motherboard (assuming the motherboard supports said chip)? Thanks, -Mac

I just built a system using the FIC AU13 motherboard and and AMD 2200 xp 266mhz fsb 1800 mhz cpu. Upon boot, I get the following message: Warning: CPU clock is overrunning please set cpu clock in frequency/voltage control. Autodetect gave me CPU Ratio of 13.5 and FSB of 133 mhz.

which chip will give the better performance between the Thunderbird 1GHz and the Duron 1.3GHz? I am limited for choice as to what procesor I can get in my motherboard (Abit KT7) and although the best i could hope for would a 1.3GHz Thunderbird, I can't find anywhere that is still selling these. I...

I rebuilt a system on a new FIC AU-13 motherboard, reusing my older Athalon 1.33 CPU. I purchased this OEM chip 3 years ago along with an AMD - recommended Coolermaster heat-sink & fan. When I did the rebuild, I lapped the large aluminum heat-sink to a fine finish, using 2000-grit sandpaper...

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 ...

Are Heat Sink fans for socket 754 AMD CPU's compatable with the socket 939 Motherboards? I would like to use a quiet Zalman fan (CNPS7000A-Cu) with one of the new Athlon 64s for socket 939 - but I can not confirm compatability.

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...

Hi, I have an Abit Kt7a mobo and just upgraded my 1.33 GHz processor to a 1800XP (happily running at 2GHz). The strang thing is that in Windows (2000 Pro) when I ran the UT2k3 benchmark the FPS dropped by 5, instead of going up because I now have a faster proccessor. Currently windows sees it as an...

First off, I realize this is not a hard drive newsgroup. However, I never visit any hard drive groups, and I know the folks here know what's going on so I'll ask here...plus I have an AMD system :) I just upgraded to a Chaintech motherboard with the Promise SATA controller. I WAS excited about...

Hi there, I have replaced an 850 Duron with an Athlon 1400(133), mainly because it was free. I did realise at the time that it would only run at 10.5 x 100 on my Asus A7VI-VM. As this mobo has no multiplier control and is not stable above 103MHz FSB, can I alter the multiplier to 12.5 by...

standing in the computer store, Caramel Latte' in hand, head tweaked to the side trying to understand what this 17 year old kid was tell me about the next generation of computers. It was all greek to me. And to think, at one time, I was that 17 year old kid. Wow. How time flies. So, my point...

I have a dual AMD Tyan system - and I reckon the chips and especially the northbridge chipset could be cooler. Unfortunately my case is pretty average for air circulation - its design allows only 2 fans. What fan/heatsink combos are excellent for Amd MP's and chipsets? Thanks.

I have presently an HP Pavillion desktop a1610n, with a AMD Athlon 64X2 duo core processor. Does an upgrade to a AMD 6000 make any sense? I am limited by the ASUS Motherboard NODUSM3 1.05. The "passcore" for CPU's says 866 for the former and only 1263 for the 6000.That is an increase of only...
