This might be a stupid question, but I just picked up a K7S5A Athlon board for $20 and it has 2 SDRAM slots and 2 DDR slots. Should I should put in 2 x 256 SDRAM or 1 256 DDR pc2100? Don't know if it will influence a choice, but I am thinking about overclocking it sometime down the road. Thanks

Which is the best upgrade; Ati x850XT PE - Nvidia 8800 GTS or GTX or Opteron 144 - X2 4400+ Ram is 2 Gig on a Vista 64 based System. PCWorld are doing the 4400+ for 90GBP which is pretty good I think. What are your opinions?

I used to have a website that had an applet on it that would show you exactly how to modify the pins to set the multiplier or the FSB for any AMD processor. Of course i had this site bookmarked when i didn't need it. I just upgraded to a locked XP2500 and now i really need that info again. Does...

Hi. I can buy a XP3000 400fsb for about $150, but a XP2600 333fsb for about $80. In this case, is it possible to OC the XP2600 to match the XP3000 400mhz speed and thereby save about $75??? Both CPU are 2.1ghz. Thank you for your time. C
