I want to upgrade my cpu to an XP2800+. I've double checked and found that I can't use my current board MSI KT3 Ultra. I want a new motherboard then, still an MSI. I figure although most of my other components aren't bang up to date, I may as well get the most advanced I can. (I have 4x AGP card,...

I've switch back and forth between Intel and AMD cpus for years. Currently AMD has the best price/performance. All the graphics card makers try to keep the cards compatible with AMD and Intel. "Richard" wrote in...

I've been incrementally overclocking my 2700+ to see how far I can push it and yet still be able to have it be stable in 3D games. At certain OC settings, Prime95 will fail within 2 minutes, but 3DMark2003 doesn't (and I executed it several times). How critical are the Prime95 errors, I mean, can...

I have my Duron 1.8GHz over clocked to 1.9GHz. After running a bunch of ..mpg files while defragging the HD and other operations, the CPU was up to 48 degrees C with a case temp of 37 degrees C. Could anyone comment if this is a typical CPU temp? Is the difference btwn case and CPU temps...

@ just 1x playback speed, using AMD 690g chipset & 2 gb ddr2 ram .. CPU usage during playback of dvd D9 movie @1x speed already can reach 77%, @2x speed - 100%. If not, what's the minimum cpu ( single core ) speed needed for 1x speed ?

Well having read the reviews of the Athlon 64 & FX today, I have to say I think AMD are toast :( From a performance perspective, the P4EE beats the A64 in most benchmarks in 32-bit at least, and as 64-bit is total pie-in-the-sky at present, this is really all that matters. The A64 is going to be...

How far apart are the mounting holes on a 92mm case fan? I have a case that is advertized to accept an 80mm or a 120mm fan on the rear exhaust vent. I accidentally ordered a 92mm fan instead. I didn't notice until it was too late (it laready shipped). Am I going to need an adapter? If so, -...
