Something I've been thinking about recently, of the CPUs in the 700Mhz and upwards range, which CPU, or family of CPUs gives the most for the least, electrical-consumption-wise? I'm running a few machines for SETI and am on a budget. I have a bit of hardware and am able to decide which machines to...

Just wondering if any hardware gurus have ever tried making an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro stable at overclocked AGP speeds? I have a BX-133MHz system and the 9700 croaks at much over 66MHz. Any alternatives to just running at 100FSB (yuck) or switching to an Nvidia card?

i convinced my wife to let me upgrade my MOBO because we would have to buy an add-on firewire card to support our new camcorder anyway. now my question is what to upgrade to????? I have a K7N2 right now....No L, No G and not a delta....just a plain old 333fsb K7N2 mobo. I have dual channel 400mhz...

I just put a new system together consisting of an Abit AI7, P4 2.6C CPU, and 1GB PC3700 RAM (two 512MB DIMMS). I bought everything from Newegg. I intend to OC (as I have in the past with many other systems). My dilemma is that Newegg sent me two Buffalo Tech PC3700 DIMMS, but one has Micron chips...

Hehehe. The threads get longer and longer. The AMD is great for a hobbiest - great value, but look at the larger picture. How manny big businesses have put their servers and workstations in AMD's camp? Not too many I'm sure. Our company has ALL Intel driven hardware. I personally find the Intel...

....I'm the prettiest bell of them all: http://init-sce.tripod.com/newbuild/pretty.htm ....and I'm the ugliest duckling of all: http://init-sce.tripod.com/newbuild/ugly.htm The pretty one is: Abit AW8

I want to test if a Prescott Celeron 2.4 GHz can run on Gigabyte 8IDX i845 motherboard which officially does not support it. Can I possibly destroy something by trying it? Thanks, Alex

I'm running a P4E 3.0 on an Abit IS7 main board. With the stock HSF the temps were fairly high, in the low 50ºc. Case is very well ventilated, it's a server 'rack mount' unit with a 120mm Panaflow blowing in and across the board as well as an Enermax PSU. I built the machine for some video...

Oh well, after achieving what I consider to be a reasonable overclock on my "non-overclockable" ASUS P5PE-VM getting my E4500 to 2.93GHz at stock voltage it seems that I'm going to be getting an Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA VIA PT880 Ultra anyway! Here's me, quite happy with the P5PE-VM/E4500 @ 2.93...

I'm looking at getting a cooler for my Tbred 2100xp (runnig at 2100mhz or there abouts) , I have a standard coolermaster hs/fan at the moment and getting 56c at load. I was looking at the Coolermaster Aero 7+, Thermaltake Volcano 11+ and the Vantec aero (leaning more towards this one) Any advice...

Where is the ram frequency on this mobo bios? I am looking in the M.I.T. section and can't see it at all.

Hi all The Barton 2500+ I've been running at 12x200 for 2400MHz at 1.85Vcore for just over six months died this evening. :-( RIP. ;-) It's as though there isn't any CPU in the motherboard at all - no beeps, no nada. I am using a 220W Peltier in that machine - I found a few drops...

would this work? I'm not concerned about if it is unstable, as I can just change it back to 166MHz. But I want to know whether this risks damaging the CPU or not? I'd hate to damage it. Thanks for help

Hiya, I have a problem with a new system I've put together. It's an AMD 2600+, but it seems to be running at about 55 centigrade (CPU) - not abnormally high, but possibly a bit much. It's very unstable and what I'd like to do is keep the system fans running for a few seconds or maybe a...

motherboard is gigabyte ga8ik1100. no matter what I do I can't get this over 3.1. it is not a ram issue. I have pc3700 in and it has same problems as pc2100 did. altering ram settings/ratio does not affect the problem at all. I think its a buss issue with the sata drive. I use a single sata as c...

Hi, the specification on a motherboard for Serial ATA: RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID O+1, Multiple RAID. What does the different RAID stands for and what does it do? Thanks. Al

My thesis, which will sound nutty, is the following: The use of my Vantec Fan Controller to turn down the speed of my two intake 80mm case fans causes my floppy drive to fail. I will defend this below but now for the setup, pathology, and history. Setup: I recently installed a Vantec Silver...

Hello, I am running windows xp home and I have aquired an older hard disk. There seems to be no real use for a 4GB ATA 66 hard disk. If I use it as a swapfile would it slow down my system (the other disk is ATA 133) ? Possible options; 1. Experiment with linux 2. Swapfile
