Hi, I've been the owner of a 945GTP motherboard for 2 months. Yesterday I reconfigured the bios, and it appears that I miss some memory configuration. Even when I have 533 MHz DDR2 memories, there was something in the "agressive" mode that made the system crash. It gives me 3 beeps (thats base 64K...

I have just purchased a Pentium 4 540. I installed it with a ThermalTake Jungle 512 Heatsink and arctic silver thermal paste to an ASUS p5ad2-e Premium motherboard. When I go to load Win XP, it gets halfway through and shuts down. They say my temps are too high and is causing it to reboot. My...

Hello, this is my first post, but, after buying a new Dual-Core Gateway I'm having trouble getting the latest compiler installed, when it askes for a s/n or lisence I select licence and point it in the right direction and i get 'cannot read/copy liscence' and I *know* it was working fine...

Hi, I have an Asus P5VD1 motherboard and have recently bought a Pentium 930 and PCI-E x16 graphics card. After installing them when powering on all the usual stuff happens, all fans (Including graphics card) spin, DVD fires up, HDD spins etc, however there is no output to the monitor. I have...

Hi, I'm building a computer and have decided on a Pentium D 3.0Ghz. However I can't decide between the 830 and the 930. The only difference between them (as far as I can tell) is the 930 is equiped with Virtualisation Technology which doesnt really appeal to me and 2*2MB cache opposed to the 830's...

We have the Intel DP965LT motherboards with Celeron D CPU at 3GHz. These motherboard has 4 empty memory slots: Channel A, DIMM 0 Channel A, DIMM 1 Channel B, DIMM 0 Channel B, DIMM 1 If I have 1GB at Channel A, DIMM 0, I can run both XP and Vista (32 bits Ultimate and Business) fine.

Hi guys, I have gone thru many memory trace tools but couldnt find any which can address my problem - i run a program on x86 machine in linux. Now, i need to look at the memory access pattern of the program and write a small program which has roughly the same memory access pattern but in reduced...

Why in the world are they selling CPU with speeds rated to .06 ? Can there really be that much difference?

Yes, I seen that one, but after going through their fairly simplified wizard, it recommended a 300watt PSU for my system. One of my machines I need the PSU for has a 2.8GHz P4, 2GBs of ECC RAM, two 120GB HDDs, a CD/DVD burner, ATI video card (needing power via a floppy cable), Audigy sound card, a...

Anyone use this combination of Board/RAM? I have the Corsair XMS series RAM and am considering switching to ECC for stability rather than absolute speed. ~ Adrian ~ --- "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Heh, this is actually a fun thread first thing in the morning. Tell me about it, I've been researching this for five hours. :-) From what I have read you are looking at a 3-4% difference in performance, only you can decide if the cost justifies the boost. For that insignificant...

Heh, thanks for the link. The IAAR v3.5 runs in parallel to the BIOS which supports it. Apparently, Intel said it does support RAID 1, but the drivers and BIOS aren't released yet. In fact, they released IAAR v3.5 *before* the appropriate BIOS update. That version of the IAAR relies on features...

Has anyone built a PC using this motherboard? I'd just like to compare specs. and ask a few questions regarding fan selection, out of the newsgroups if possible. Thanks. ~ Adrian ~ --- "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Sir Winston Churchill...

Does defragging a drive, which actually is a RAID 0 setup consisting of two HDDs, work? I defragged last week my RAID 0 drive and basically things got ugly after that - Windows files corrupted, BIOS changed, etc. ~ Adrian ~ --- "If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars." J....

Is there any language support for the non-temporal cache hints, e.g. ldfd.nta. Some sort of pragma or Fortran directive?? I've been working with small pieces of assembler, but to be honest, I'm too old and too lazy to (re)learn assembler. thanks Adrian

Hi, college guy on a tight budget. Has anyone used SINGLE CHANNEL MEMORY CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION (with one DIMM chip) and if you use DDR PC2700 memory can you use a cheap Celeron 400 FSB processor INSTEAD OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE 533 FSB like the manual recomends.......... on a budget...... as...

Can anyone give me a general idea of "server horsepower".For example:P3-500 1meg cache Xeon 4 processors 1gig ram vs say Dual P3(plain ol') 1100mhz 1gig ram Both systems running win2k server 100 clients,main useage Sybase database. I'm trying to put together a backup/replication/storage...
