Howdy folks, It's time to build a new box, and I've decided to turn over my P4 640 to my daughter, and build an AMD rig. First off, I'm not really sure exactly what I'm going to do with it yet, but I would like to have serious gaming as an option. Right now I'm in the AMD Athlon 64 4000+ price...

Where does the AMD Phenom II X4 Quad-Core 810 2.60GHz rank in CPU power in the AMD product line? -- Al Dykes News is something someone wants to suppress, everything else is advertising. - Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the Daily Mail

I'm thinking of building a new high-end system (not bleading edge, no overclocking). The primary justification is Photoshop CS. Pricewatch shows 11 different Athlon64 models ($126-$739) differing in clock speed, cache size, and bus speed. I believe the FX models are now "history" so we are...

Howdy, I'm running a 2600xp in a Gigabyte GA-7N 400 Pro everything is running fine. Temp range 32-38C (case open) I just did a BIOS upgrade now Temp 52-56C (case open), checked Gigiabytes website it said that the new bios checks the temp more accurately although 20 C seems a big jump. Question If...

I realise this is AMD-overclocking, but I know many here could have the answer I need. I am trying to help out a friend who is looking only at an Intel machine. Not being an Intel user, I am not familiar with the best combinations for Intel computers. He has been quoted a machine using these...

I own a A7N8X (XP2500) using OCZ 3500EL, and it is overclocked, see details below Processor #1 : AMD Athlon XP (Model A) / 52E50446 Platform : Socket A (Socket 462) Vendor String : AuthenticAMD CPU Type : Original OEM Processor (0) Family : 6 (7) Model : 10 (10) Stepping ID : 0 (0)

Can you supply more details? Ram FSB settings Which model XP2000? Model 6 or Model 8? Alan "Damianin" wrote in message ... Hi

I just received my pricing on the Athlon 64 3200, (supposed to be available next week - no price on Athlon 64 FX51). The Biostar motherboard is also reasonable - (about $10 more than my Nforce Abit) Much to my surprise it is nearly $60 cheaper than todays price on the Athlon XP3200. Way to go...

A large number of people use Prime95 to check out their computer. I would like to know what kind of results everyone is getting. I will start, and I hope others will continue to post theirs. I suggest 2 categories. A - the best time you have achieved, B - the current benchmark. Only post the...

If you check SandraSoft, you will see several examples of Intel/AMD processor speeds. Most often the AMD will have a higher Drystone while the Intel will have a higher Whetstone for a given speed. I use a Barton XP2500, and it is overclocked slightly, it performs equal to the Intel 3Ghz in...

Come da oggetto, quanto si riesce a overclockare ? grazie !

Hi, I've the board and the processor in subject and i'm interesting to know some setting to overclock my system. I've already connect the L1 bridge but i'm not very able to find out correct volatge and other setting to allow an overclocked system to run stable. Can some one help me? Thank you very...

Pc3200 memory running at full speed (400MHz) should be able to get about 3200mb/s a second yeah? I've had this speed before out of it on this board. Why is it now I'm getting maybe 2700 if I'm lucky? On stock settings on the barton it's closer to 2100. It's running dual channel etc etc. NF7-S...

Is it worth getting a copper shim for my AMD XP when I fit a new cooler? What exactly do they do? TIA Alex

Out of curiosty, why do you have to cut power to the mobo? My mobo has a jumper that you can switch in order to clear the cmos. j/w..... -Alex "Dion L Heap" wrote in message ... "dryOtto" wrote in...

I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo rev 1.04 with an Aquarius 2 watercooling system and an Athlon 2600+ processor. I have tried to overclock my system but everytime I try my computer doesn't boot and I have to reset my bios. I remember reading somewhere you need good quality memory to overclock, so...

I'm planning on getting one of these kits. How easily will it fit in a Xaser III? Also, how easy is it to move a watercooled system? I assume you need to drain it first? Alex.
