Hey, Just a quick question. OC'ed processor from 2500 to 3200. Upped the voltage to 1.7 because of Prime95 failing after a few minutes. At 1.7 volts, Prime95 ran for 12.5 hours and then stopped with a rounding error. Should I up the voltage again, or if it ran for that long, does it mean...

After installing this converter the bios see's the drive but after booting into winxp it doesn't show up. Partition Magic 8 can't see it. When I say bios see's it I mean when the computer is starting up it the screen show's it's installed and I can press the tab key and get into the raid setup...

Yes recon your right,Im sick of the ****ing around that amd are doing with chip speeds For instance I have an old Xp 2700 athlon chip which runs at a standard 2.22ghz . Funnily enough almost exactly as fast as the new xp 3200. crazy numbers crazy confusion. all that matters really is raw ghz...

Hi, I got Duron 700 on Gigabyte nForce2 GA-7N400 mobo (I know, $h1tty cpu on good mobo - I'll buy a new one when I have some cash). I got myself a better cooling and I want to overclock D700 to 1GHz, because AFAIK now it runs in asynchronous mode with system bus 100, and memory at 200 (got...

Hi all, I just got to the stage where I am 100% satisfied that my system is working great at stock settings. I have tested the memory timings, and I have tested my FSB above 200MHz. Now I am working on overclocking my cpu. When I first switched up to 11 x 200MHz from default 2500+ all I did to...

ok whats the deal he bios stats system temp: 46c/114f cpu surface temp: 38c/100f cpu core temp: 42c/107f hardware doctor system 46 cpu 38.00 - 38.50

I have one of those fancy reserators - water cooler. The supplied heatsink block for the processor is gold plated (copper underneath I think). I bought another for the 2nd cpu, and they would only supply the plain copper one. Now I thought the gold was better - that's the way they advertise it. ...

1) Is there any benchmark comparing Itanium and Opteron running a 32-bit chess software? 2) Is there any benchmark comparing Itanium and Opteron running a 64-bit chess software compiled for each processor?

Hi all, I'm looking for some help/advice/information on upgrading my PC. First, let me state that I have not kept up on the computer hardware scene since I installed and overclocked my AMD XP2500+ @ XP3000+ (Barton). So I don't fully understand the hardware that has come along since then. Feel...

Learned scholars, My AthlonXP 2000 on MSI KT4AV with (VIA KT400A) chipset Mainboard has Speed Complexity. The displayed CPU speed on startup BIOS is 1.25gHz with FSB setting of 100mhz. Actual speed of Athlon XP2000 is 1.67ghz as provided by AMD. Upon changing of FSB settings to 105mhz, speed...

In short: HT/FSB will not go above 225 MHz :( Even if I underclock my memory using a divider and underclock the CPU using a low multiplier, I can't get HT above 225 MHz without the system freezing! Since I am underclocking both memory and CPU, I guess none of these could be at fault. Or what? I...

I have seen many questions about running mobile Athlons on desktop systems. I had to solve the same problem because I accidentally bought an Athlon Mobile 2500 XP. So I could either return it, or figure out how to run it in a desktop system. Here is what I discovered: Most desktop BIOSes won't...

Here is a question that I am wondering about.. I guess I should do some in depth searchings into AMD and Intels websites to discover about DRM tech into the current crop of Mid Range CPUs going on sale now. Long questions huh? hehe

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ advertised on Newegg for $215 US? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-425&catalog=343&depa=1 What is the difference between this and the 3200+ advertised for $404? For $215, I'm ready to...

Need a better 80mm cpu cooling fan something pushing out about 3500rpm-4000rpm with good airflow nothing extreme like those Delta's or Vantec Tornado's :) TIA.

Hey group. I'm wondering what the difference between the different XPs are. I know that there are 133 and 166 versions of each, but it appears that big gains are attained with the 2700 and 2800 (at 333ddr). I'm upgrading my comp because it got fried this past summer and I've been using a laptop...
