I'm in the beginning stages of building myself a new gaming system and I am torn between getting the XP 3000+ processor or the higher-end 3200+. My problems lies in the fact that aside from being $150 more expensive, the 3200+ is very hard to find in my area and mail-order would be...

Hi. I've done some web browsing on the subject...and have just enough info to be dangerous...and need some more to actually be knowledgeable. I have an Epox 8KHA with a VIA KT266 chipset. The BIOS allows for clock increases of 1mhz increments, multiplier changes, and voltage (CPU and...

ok i am seeing more and more of these people thinking that intel is better than amd and that the raw clock speeds are what really matters most. i am the proud owner of a 2700+ that i have stably overclocked to what is considered to be a T-Bred 3200+ which runs at 2.509 Ghz. in sissoft sandra i...

i have an athlon 2800xp on a jetwayv400ADBL. sysytem info shows it as an 2800xp running at 2087mhz. is this running speed correct? cheers for any advice/help

I ended up getting an Athlon XP 3000+ due to the simple lack of availability of the 3200+ in my area (special order only). I set the basic system up last night (m/b, ram, video card) and put it in the case (Thermaltake Xaser VM2000). BIOS reads the the CPU idle temp as 46-47C;. it seems to hold...

I would say its not gauranteed by any means as the they are both totally different chipsets for one. On Sat, 10 Jan 2004 20:58:14 -0500, Sponge_bob wrote: :I have a xp2100 running at 2200 in a Kt7raid :if I put this chip in a KD7 raid can I match that speed with...

Hey, I have been trying to install my AMD retail heatsink onto my CPU without success. My MB is an ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe. I got the back side of the HS clip on, but when it comes to the front (outer most edge of MB) it look to be about 3/16" short. I tried pushing the clip down all the way possible...

The XP1700+ oc'ed to XP2600 and XP2500+ oc'ed to XP3200 resulted same score in SuperPI 1M testing of 47 seconds. Actually the XP2500+ oc'ed even higher (11X210). Memory setting are very close like 7/3/3/2.5 (XP1700+) and 8/3/3/2.5 (XP2500+). Seems Barton does not offer any performace at all with...

Hey pplz Just wondering where this mobo takes its cpu temps from? Brendan C.

According to the BIOS, my CPU Temperature has hit 52C. I have this cpu oc'd to 2.1g with 200fsb, 10.5 multiplier and 1.75v. A Vantec aeroflow is on the cpu and the case has a front and rear 120mm fan. Is 52C too hot? Thanks.

I have a Compaq Presario 12xl223 laptop(600 MHz) that could use a little more life. Opened it up and seen that the processor is a socket 370, nothing special about it. I have a 766 MHz processor on my shelf here that will drop right in, but the bios will not recognize it. is there another bios out...

I know it's ancient history, but I'm putting together a machine for my 7 y.o. son. I ran across this mobo from a salvaged system (http://web.epox.com/html/motherboard.asp?product=EP-58MVP3C-M&lang=1) and replaced the AMD-K6 233 with a K6-2 450 that I bought for next to nothing on eBay. Well, come...

I bought parts from Newegg to build a new computer and it won't start. I have built 6 or 7 and, I'm slow, but they've all been successful in the end. But this time... I don't know. When the power is plugged in, I can see a standby power LED on the motherboard that is on. When I push the start...

I am thinking about overclocking and was wondering if someone could help guide me in the right direction. I would just like to get a little boost without having to go out and buy a bunch of crap to get it done. Here is my system: AOpen AK77-333 Athlon XP 2100 Thouroghbred 300 wt power...

Hi, Looking to upgrade some parts and was wondering if anyone knows of any good US retailers that will ship to the UK with a sensible shipping charge? With the very low dollar at the moment I'm looking to get some bargains. TIA Homer.

I have also started looking at the Asus A7N8X BTW I do want to overclock and play a bunch of games mainly C&C and sports. Thanks already for the replies I've gotten. Bob
