I will build a new system soon. I've more-or-less decided what will be in it. I still need to pick something to go around it. I'd like a case which can take 120mm fans, as I've lived with a noisy machine for ages, and I'd expect the big fans to be a quieter option. I think I'd like some dust...

My plan is to build something new in the second half of this year. I started out with Intel (P3 400 & P3 800), but switched to AMD as a more affordable option a few years ago. I have an Athlon XP 2100+ T'BredB which has run ok from day one at 2.1GHz (13x162MHz), 512MB memory which, considering...

I am working on a specific project that involves a lot of number crunching. I am looking to build one or more machines to cope with the problem. I am looking at using a pentium 850 D and overclocking it to get greater perfomance. As I don't intend the machiens for permenent use I am looking at...

I'm certain that my CPU (P4 3.06gHz) is running far too hot and is the cause of my unstable PC. The manufacturer claims the temp is normal for this type of system - which is more like a laptop than a desktop, as the motherboard and cards are built in behind the TFT screen and the hardrive is built...

I have a IC7 MAx3 board which won't POST, I have tried all of the usual suggestions found in the manual and on this board but I'm struggling to stop myself from just putting in the oven and truning it on full blast! Abridged Version When I first installed the board everything was OK, after one...

Hi Everyone, I am looking for recommendations for my first home-built computer. I have an old computer and the monitor is a 19 inch flat panel. I want this for gaming mainly, but will be doing some MS Office, photo and video editing on occasion. I want to keep as close to my $800 budget, but will...

Hi all.... I have never tried overclocking before and thought I might give it a try. I have an Aopen MX 46 motherboard with a P4 1.7GHz processor installed. According to Aopen this board has lots of overclocking ability but I don't really understand the translation on their website. Apparently I...

Hi All, I'm looking to get a new system together by the new year, and I'm debating the AMD/Intel route. Without getting into the Intel/AMD religious wars, it seems that the overclocked Barton is close enough to performance of the overclocked P4C that I think that I'm comfortable in saving the...

Hi Guys I've been running a Pe 650@806 for years and just bought aP3 933 off ebay. It's a 133 bus and I forgot that my MB maxxes out at 133. Nothing i can do, right? Is it bad to run my PC-100 ram set at 133 bus speed? What would be the best choice for my old BH-6? The fastest 100 mhz bus...
