I got a barton 2500 and it's made before the lock of the multiplicator and it's at the moment running at 12.5\175.The reason I don't raise the bus speed more is my bad memorys.I got 2 256 pc3400.The brand is Apacer. If I just raise the bus speed to 176 I get errors running prime 95.And I got the...

Hi, I just bought an xp2600 (Barton) to replace my previous xp2400. After removing the old processor + heatsink, I placed the new one, and then try to place the hsc that came in the package. Unfortunately, I couldn't (and I tried it in many ways). After giving up, there was a little of the thermal...

I apologize in advance for such a newbie-ish question, but... I'm trying to figure out if my ECS K7VTA3 (v3.1a) motherboard could support an Athlon XP 2400 processor. So I went to the ECS website. In the CPU chart, it said that the motherboard could support up to 2100+ at "133MHz", or 2400+ at...

If I buy memory in a dual channel pack (2x512MB) it will still work alright in a single channel board right? The memory is: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-985&depa=1 And my motherboard is an MSI K8N Neo Platinum Thanks a bunch, Rich

I had to RMA a mb back so I'll have to reinstall the processor (barton 2500+) when it gets back. What's the best way to clean the old heat sink goop off with out damaging the processor? This was the stock (new) heat sink plus a little arctic silver. Thanks Richard

I'm running an A7n8x-x mobo, kingmax pc3700 ram, 460 watt psu, vcore 1.7v. 182x 12.5 @ 2277 mhz. Even though I have a 400 mhz mobo and fast enough ram it seems as though I've hit a wall with 182 fsb speed. Tried different multipliers and always the same thing.......can't get past...

Hi, It was suggested that I try overclocking in an earlier post. My Athlon XP2600+ T-Bred (with 256Kb L2 Cache and default 2083MHz) is running at 2205MHz comfortably and as yet, I have not experienced any problems. I have burnt some CDs and processed some divx movie files and the hottest it has...

Hi you all, Please let me know what would happend in terms of performance if I woud run a PC3200 ddr stick of ram at 333 mhz (I mean how would this compare with a PC2700 ddr run at the same speed 333). Thank you

Hey all, first off thanks for everyones help in recent posts. I've finally come to the end when I'm about ready to go. Here's what I've got. AMD 64 3200+ CPU MSI K8N Neo Platinum Mobo 2x512MB Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (unpurchased) eVGA nVidia GeForce 5900 SE WD Raptor II 74GB 10000RPM

Hi, Not sure how much of an overclocking question this is, but I figure this group would be clued about this situation... I've been considering a memory upgrade and am having trouble deciding, based on researching web/newsgroup articles, whether what I have in mind makes sense. I have an MSI...

If I'm installing a MOBILE AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+ on a desktop motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7DXE), is there anything different I have to do, compared to if I installed a normal Athlon XP 2600+ ? The motherboard supports the normal 266MHz 2600+, will it see the mobile one as the same processor? Do I...

I'm trying to understand why/whether my MB temp are high. Or, assuming the CPU temps are about right for the setup/rig, is the MB reading is either simply wrong or close to the display adapter? Using hmonitor: MB = 36-37 C, CPU =46-47 C at idle, high fifties under game load. Room ambient is 20...

Hi, I have a 1.33GHz AMD thunderbird processor and am looking to get a new motherboard for it but am not sure if the ones i'm looking at are compatible. I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on it, just get something that works. I was looking at newegg.com and found...

Hi! I've done a lot of research on overclocking a Barton, in particular the Athlob XP 2600+ model. Virtually everywhere I go it says it could *easily* reach a FSB of 200Mhz...%$*&%...I can only get to 170Mhz until my computer fails to boot up. I have the ASUS A7N8X deluxe. Argueably one of the...

Providing that it fits your motherboard, which you don't mention, a Zalman 7000CU cooler is both quiet and very effective. You can check for compatibility at Zalman's website. At its highest fan setting of 2500rpm it is also very quiet. It fits Socket 462 - 478 - 774 - 939 so longevity is also...
