chipset fan? by
Chris Hill
I have an epox EP9NPA+ultra and I finally figured out why my computer
is driving me nuts. The chipset fan is the most obnoxious annoying

there a more quiet alternative?
Thanks.

Pdigmking
OK, here's another one. My mother board will only support 266FSB however I
have updated the BIOS. I have previously asked what would be better, a
used Athlon Socket A, or a new Duron Socket A. But, I notice I can get a
Sempron socket A for ten dollars more. The sempron is a 333 FSB however.

Stethoscope for PCs? by

Does anyone build stethoscopes for PCs? You know, the kind of gadget
with a kind of long wand that you can point at a specific part of a
