Been getting ready to build a second PC. Made me review how much stuff I have got on my present system. Using 'MyUninstaller' http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/myuninst.html I can see I have 511 installed programs! In addition there are those programs which didn't need any installation. I reckon I...

I have a fried M/B and am not sure what speed the CPU is? This is what's written on the CPU AMD ATHLON AX1800DMT3C AGKGA0201DPAW Y7503740463 Is it an Athlon XP 1800+

I have the following setup: Asus K8NE deluxe MB...BIOS revision 1010 (754) 3700+ Clawhammer 2 sticks of Corsair XMS 3200 memory When i go into the BIOS and set the mem clock to be 400MHz, when I restart, POST says my DRAM clock is 333. If I remove one of sticks, then it will post 400Mhz. If I...

Hey I have been hunting the internet for some advice. I have overclocked my 2800XP to 2.2ghz and was wondering why it always says its at about the 60 degree mark. I understand that this sounds bad but I have a thermaltake silent boost on it. 4 80mm case fans and an exhaust about an inch away...

I'm looking for a program that will display both the CPU and Case temp in the XP system tray. These 2 both seem to do the job. Can anyone tell me if one is better than the other? (Or if there's a better alternative that I've missed?) Thanks.

I managed to mess up the resistors on top of my old Barton XP-2500, with some careless HSF manouvres. The CPU is now in my dad's PC, and, as a result of a few broken resistors, reports only having 64k instead of 512K cache!! Effectively I've turned it into an XP-2500 Duron!! He doesn't do...

A month ago I upgraded my processor to an AMD Duron 1800. When I went to get my Windows Update Patches today, I was given the option to download this pathc for AMD hardwa ---------------- START -------------- Optional hardware updates Microsoft Corporation - Other Hardware - AMD K7 Processor

Does S.M.A.R.T. offer any protection for a failing hard drive in a Raid 0 configueration?

Hi all! A friend recently asked me which motherboard is great for the Athlon 64 (San Diego) 939 CPU. As I don't own a 64 bit system I'm wondering if any of you could give me some advice. Many thanks!!! -- Get Firefox browser at www.getfirefox.com Get free Avast! AntiVirus at www.avast.com

I’m thinking of getting a AMD FX-55 CPU which has 2000mhz FSB, and the Motherboard which can be found at: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131517 has 1000mhz FSB. What I’m wondering is, are these two compatible, FSB wise? If they are, I would love if someone could explain to...

I had a time recently when I had the following error message from time to time. ------------ START ---------------- smc.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x77121767" referenced memory at "0x0014fffc". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program

The Amd X2 3800 but what ram to go with it ? pc3200,4000,500 what one would be the best suited ? I want to overlock. But have no idea how much i need to with this cpu. I take it the multi is locked so the only way i can do it is with the FSB.

Hello my cousin is going to be buying a A64 4000+ san dieago processor and is unsure of what cpu fan to purchase so I am asking for some recommendations on a good cooler he won't be overclocking so nothing major required just good alround cooler. TIA.

Hi, I recntly upgraded to a 3500+ socket 939 Athlon 64, and an Asus A8N-SLI Delux motherboard, all works fine and it seems to fly in most games. However I would like to try tweeking it, so went into the bios and looked at the CPU multipliers, which I had been lead to believr would go up to 12x...

After we supported them and kept them alive, they have the balls to charge us so much for the X2?! WTF? I am NOT paying over $700 for that 4400+...

can i mount 3400+ Mobile socket 754 (clawhammer) in a normal desktop mainboard ? (the cpu is not boxed)

The simple answer is no, then I suppose the next question is why? Seems as the new X2 dual core 939 pin processors work in both 939 and 940 motherboards...

I found this one ASUS A7V400-MX KM400A My main question is will I be able to set a barton to 400fsb. I have a 2500 which is the same as a 3200 if running at 400. I'm worried the MB will reconise it as a 333fsb.
