I have a cheap ECS L7VMM2 with horrible overclocking options. I would like to flash a BIOS that gives me some real options. Is it true that I could flash any BIOS for a board that has the same chipset (Both North and South Bridge), similar features and more overclocking options, with a decent...

I'm thinking of upgrading and overclocking. I read a review that said that Gigabyte MoBos can unlock Bartons without any hardware modification with Easy Tune 4. Is this true for all Bartons? My other question is would I be better off OC'ing a Barton 2600+ ($100) or 3000+ ($200). My main...

Hey all, Does anyone know of any reviews which compare the larger 80 mm (80 x 80 x 70 mm fan, 80 x 80 x 51 mm heat sink) Aero 7+ with the Aero 7 Lite? I know that CoolTechZone and DataFuse compared them but I asked the DataFuse person and he said he thought it was indeed the smaller one. The...

Is the presence of a SATA option enough to make me pay 30 Euro more in a 400 Euro system? note that this difference is roughly what it would take to make, with said budget, an XP2200 based machine or a Barton 2500+ machine. Yes, things are that strict on this one... would appreciate also comments...

What I know I have: Motherboard - MSI K7 Master-S (MS-6341) Processor - amd athlon xp 1900+ My processor is running at 1200... and (stupidly as I am) I just decided that I would flip (if I remember correctly) the core voltage in bios from 100 to 133.. well, the processor then boots up to a...
