I have a locked 2500 Barton. I want to overclock a bit with the FSB but cannot lock the PCI bus. How far out of spec can I run the PCI bus before I have problems. I have 512mb of Corsair PC2700. bluestringer

I have just bought an XP3000 system, but when I look at the chip it says XP2500, Have I been duped? or is there a rational explanation? Well, if you've paid for a system with an XP3000 chip but it's clearly stamped XP2500, I'd say you need to be talking to your retailer! Lord Deckard

Hi, I have managed to track down a model 2400DKV3C AMD processor, will this work, is it a B core, will it work at the maximum supported speed of my 7ZX-H motherboard (2100)? Cheers... Snip from earlier discussion ____________________________

Hi, I just installed a Zalman 6000 silent CPU cooler. In the Silent Mode (which is great) my CPU is a steady 72c. In regular mode (which is plain noisy) it a steady 53c. Is there any real problem running at 72c? I looked at AMD's webpage and it said for an XP 2000 the max die temp is 90c, so I...

I am running an Abit AT7max2 with 2600+ Barton, pc3200 512MB DDRAM. BIOS settings show 166FSB with a multipier of 11.5, which I believe would equal 1909 MHz. I run CPUID and here is what it reports: Internal Clock = 1149.18 System Clock = 99.92 System Bus = 199.11 Multiplier = 11.5

I need to upgrade my mother board. I'm currently using an MSI KT4V and I've decided to choose between a few boards. I'm looking for opinions about these boards. I primarily am looking for performance and stability. Abit NF7-S rev 2.0 MSI KT6 Delta Asus A7N8X (not deluxe) TIA for all of you who...

So looking over the AMD website, they recommend only using thermal pads and not paste or grease, unless you're needing to remove the heatsink often. In the realworld, what's everyone's opinion? I ask because I've been calling around and all the computer store around here have are paste and not...

Hi, Has anyone experience with an ECS K7S5A(-L) PCB rev 3.1 mainboard and a particular Athlon Thoroughbred processor? I have a XP2000 Palomino on it, running at 138MHz*2 FSB, and I'd like to upgrade it to the fastest Thoroughbred available that would work on it (FSB266). -- V

New to this group, so apologies if you have seen this question before.. I have an MSI mainboard (K7T Pro), the BIOS allows selection of 66, 100 or 133 FSB speed. I am looking to upgrade my processor which is an AMD Duron 850 MHz. All advertised AMD CPU's appear to be 233MHz FSB as minimum, does...

MBM is showing my 'system' temp as 33-34C . Room/ambient is 19-20C. Does 13C rise from ambient seem right? MBM indicates a 9-10C rise from system to CPU. Does that seem right? Outside of the case feels like same as room temp - i.e, slighly cool. Case is Antec SLK3700BQE, just 1 rear fan . ...

Has anyone tried this case? It's supposed to be completely fanless - all heat dissipated thru heat pipes to the case walls. At $1400, my interest is purely academic. But it sounds very interesting.

Hi, I'm currently running an Athlon xp 2400+ on an Abit KT7A (@ 2.26GHz) I know the board doesn't officialy support the cpu but it's been running for a few months and seems stable and quick. However the bios and windows don't reconise the CPU with the 'unknown CPU type' message appearing. Will...

Hi - I am pretty sure the FX-51 cpu does not work on any dual boards in a 2-processor setup. Does same go with all the other new 64-bit AMD cpus made to work with Windows 32 bit OS's? So if I want a dual 64-bit AMD solution for Windows XP Professional, is it possible? Or do I need to run some...
