Hi, i've got duron applebred 1600 from 2-nd week of the 2004. And may question is: can i unlock L2 cache? greetings mkm27

I found a mobile XP-M 2500+ for $83 and the mobile XP-M 2600+ for $93. Which one is best bang for the buck? I always see the 2500 as the favorite, but for another $10 I'm thinking the 2600+ on paper seems the better choice. Comments? Thanks.

Is it more likely that the BIOS is wrong or that the software is? I would LOVE to be at 45C! I cranked the fan up to max setting and it didnt make a 1C differnce... shouldnt it have? It was on the lowest setting before.

Using an Asus a7n8x mobo with 1 stick of 'old' Kingston PC3500 DDR which actually has cas 2 latency. How do I set bios for its cas 2 timings? IE, if I need to set bios-parameters at "a-b-c-d", where does 'a' go? 'b'? 'c'? 'd'? BTW: I'm attempting to overclock also. Thanks in advance. Using Win...

Hey all: I noticed that when I run my board under load occasionally the power led goes from being on all the time to blinking on and off. I looked in the manual, but did not find any mention. Anyone have any ideas on what it means when the green led starts to flash. I have all the power...

Looking to put together a new system. I have six ranging from Cel 433, Cel 566, Dual Cel 533's, PIII 1.4, Athlon 1.7 and a Cel 1.8 (notebook). As you can see, I'm not exactly pushing the envelope performance wise and am not looking to. What I am looking to do is to replaces my game system...

Hi, does anybody have concrete data for changing from the typical in-box thermal paste to something more sophisticated like Arctic silver? CPU-temp before and after would do the trick. TIA JS

I am upgrading my system. Wondering if I could get some of your opinions and reason why on the following hardware. First possible configuration - Barton 2600+, 333FSB, 512k cache (1.917GHz actual) mated to a ASUS A7N8X E Deluxe ( http://tinyurl.com/mknh ) My thoughts - The 512k cache is my main...

This is a very good company. These people called me trying to help with a heat problem on a msi neo2 platinum without trying to sell me anything. We need to keep these kind of companies in business if at all possible. Give them a look http://www.3dcool.com/ They carry good stuff! I can't say...

I'm building a micro-atx desktop unit for a friend, using an Asus A7V400-MX mobo. I've installed both a 2500+ barton and a 2400+ t'bred, and the temps are idling around 55C, which I do not believe are accurate. I'm using a stock retail hs/fan, thermal grease applied correctly, the case cover...

Will a Mobile Barton 2500+ work in a K7S5A Pro Mainboard? I've heard some stories of insane overclocking results, but I need to know if my mainboard will support the processor. If the processor works, will it support multiplier adjustment via software? And is there a way to make the to lock the...

Yes, the Z80 is the best cpu EVER!

Greetings to everyone. I just completed my first build, FINALLY...whew. My question is how do I overclock? Where do I start? You know all the usual questions... I'm not lazy and I have read so many documents and NG's etc. Now I need the advice of some folks that have been there and done that. ...

Does anyone know of a decent stockist of socket 940 motherboards in the uk and is anyone aware of the new chipsets for this socket (NF4, via, etc) Cheers all

I have probably asked this question sometime here in the last few days it will be burried amongst the threads now so sorry if i am duplicating a question (im sure that happens alot on usenet) But can mobile Athlon XP's with an unlocked multiplier be used on a standard socket A board? and with a...

A customer brought me a homebuilt with this CPU that had been given to him, allegedly because it is screwed up. After a quick inspection, it appears to me that the problem likely is viruses. It wouldn't boot, but I hooked it up to my test machine on an IDE channel and it shows as drive letters...
