I believe the 2200+ is a T'Bred A and the 2100+ is a T'Bred B? "Dave" wrote in message ... I've notice Pricewatch has 2200+ priced less than the 2100+. Both are t-breds. Why is this? Dave

Ordered a new processor today, I ordered the XP 2600+. Should I have gotten the Barton 2500 instead? I went with clock speed over cache, both are the same price. Would the slower Barton's extra cache be better for video capturing/editing?

when it comes to o/c which is more important for me upping the sdram to ddr 2100 or buying two new fans, inlet and outlet ??

Biostar M7VIW or similar model, based on KT266A. Accepts both PC133 and PC2100, so you can upgrade RAM when you are ready. Super stable board, supports Athlon XP of course, overclockable by adjusting FSB in BIOS. Very affordable -- great buy I'd say. "dnldr" wrote in...

At first I thought it was my power supply that was the problem. But after installing a new 500 watt power supply I still have the same problem.

Hi folks, I understand that the CPU will 'fry' within a few seconds if the PC is switched on without the heatsink and fan fitted. What is the situation if the heatsink and fan are fitted but say the fan stops and only the heatsink is left to dissipate the heat. How long before the CPU 'dies'...

Well everyone here keeps saying that the Bartons and Thoroughbreds are unlocked but mine (as with someone else here that posted) is locked to 12.5, can go lower but not higher, 13 resets the cpu to a default underclocked speed. Is this normal? It does not affect me too much as FSB is more important...

You can use a Zalman FanMate to vary the voltage. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\

You can get fans all over. PCWorld might stock them. I know Maplins do. If you can't find a 60x60x10, I find that an 80x80x25 fan and a small amount of duck tape does the trick :-) "PJ" wrote in message ... Anyone know of a UK...
