I recently figured out how to modify Upgradeware's Slot-T adapters so they support dual PIII-S processors on P2B-DS mainboards. I've added a page to my P2B Modification Guide with all the details: http://tipperlinne.com/p2bmod This makes Dual PIII-S on a P2B-DS much more practical since the...

Has anyone configured MBM5 (MotherBoard Monitor) successfully on the IS7? I cannot ID some of the fan & Temperature sensors properly. Here is what I *have* confirmed: The Winbond W83627HF-2 *is* the NorthBridge (MCH) fan, and the WinBond-2-Diode *is* the CPU temp. But there are 2 temp sensors...

Alright a couple questions. I'm planning on upgrading a couple pieces of my computer and need some advice since I haven't been keeping up-to-date....RAM, I need a 512MB stick of DDR that can easily do 200FSB, has decent timings, and is reasonably priced (i.e. less than $90 including shipping). ...

Thermatakes hermaltake W0014 Silent Purepower 480W seems to be a good buy. I mean the brand isnt that unknown and its cheaper than the main brands ENERMAX and ANTEC. But i dont know much about PSU's and its reliability. I basically have 5 fans, 1 optical drive, zip, disk, 2 harddrives in a...

I have an AMD 1800+XP @ 1621MHZ, 512MB DDR, Asus A7V266-E mobo, and I'm running a Sapphire Radeon 7000 64MB OC'ed from 155.3MHz to 173MHz. I'm just waiting a couple months to upgrade my video card but in the mean time, is 173MHz safe to run at? There is a heatsink on the card but no fan. I...

I'm having trouble running my modded Celeron 1000A @ 1333. It keeps locking up my system within 5 minutes after starting a 3D game or watching a DivX movie. Prime95 is stable though for hours. The system freezes completely (mouse+keyboard not responding, image freezes on the monitor, need to push...

I have a GeForce 2-MX400/64MB that has been giving me trouble. (Before anyone says to biff it and buy a new one, I'm broke okay?) It first started giving me trouble in a system that had the AGP bus running too high due to overclocking the FSB. It was in my main machine so I borrowed the money...

is it possible? i've heard somewhere that there's a voltage difference, true?

Intel has finally come out with Win2K drivers for SATA RAID 0, so now I'm thinking about replacing my EIDE drives with the SATA Raptors in RAID 0 configuration. Any comments on these drives or experiences with the setup I'm contemplating? TIA

I`m running a barton 2500+ Athlon, and want to try and keep the noise down. My case is a Thermaltake XSazer III, and has two fans blowing from outside directly onto the CPU location, and a further two suckong air out from the side of the CPU location. The noiseiest part of the system is...

I have clocked my Intel P4 2.4 Ghz to 3.0 Ghz I can go higher but then my computer wont boot. I know it's because of the MSI 648 max mainboard, but does anyone have any suggestions on how i can bypass this problem? JoJo

I`ve got a Gigabyte board that lets me change memory, FSB and AGP frequencies independantly. I realise that keeping memory = FSB makes sense, but what is best for overclocking my graphics card? Am I better overclocking the card itself only, the AGP bus only, or both at the same time? The card is...

Am I the only one who can't get in?

Hi! I know this sounds silly, and i know notebooks aren't supposed to be overclocked. But still... So if anyone has seen articles about that, i would be most grateful! :) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards,
