Hello all,
This is not an overclocking question, but I'm sure you guys will know
the answer. I have an AMD Athlon XP 1900+, running at default speed,
default voltage, etc. on an Asus A7V266-C motherboard. Nothing is
overclocked or anything, just standard. Until yesterday, I had my PC
with its guts...

Other items going into the system would be a Barton XP...

ATHLON 2400 is NOT a 2.4!! by
Nero
Just out of interest,for all those who keep saying that an ATHLON 2400+ is a
2.4.
Wrong,it is 2GHz.
There never was and will never be an ATHLON 2400+ that is 2.4.
I keep seeing a 1700 advertised as being 1.7,a 2400 as being 2.4 and so on.

moving the boot HDD (ST340016A) to the secondary master.
Does this mean that my primary bus is GONE?

dbd
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...
