According to the Soyo site the fastest chip is a 2100+ running a 266 FSB. (throughbred or palamino) These chips are getting kind of hard to find and I was wondering what else I could use??? Sempron of some type maybe? Any suggestions would be welcome, I want to try and build my Son a computer out...

Im going to be switching out an ecs mobo and amd cpu for an abit nf7-s and mobile cpu. Am I going to have to uninstall any of the drivers ? The mobo i currently have has onboard sound and lan. So would I have to uninstall the drivers ? Also, the video card ? Im going use the same harddrive to. I...

Could anyone please tell the reliability of the water cooled systems? Have you had any major problems with the different systems? Do they work well with Dell systems? Anything will really help. We are currently searching for one and don't have any real experience with them. Thanks, Jeff

Anyone have any idea as to the performance increase I would see. Current Setup as above with a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe adn and MSI NEO2 Platinum Board

I've just ordered a AMD Athlon XP2600+ Barton (917 MHZ, FSB:333) and a ASUS A7N8X-X, NVIDIA NFORCE2 Chipset. And my question to you experts is what fan should i choose... ? I have no intentions of overclocking it just yet so a cheap but effective fan would be nice... If I can't find the exact fan...

Sure, but if you run any type of data-critical apps (folding) the data will have errors and be useless. Ed I dont have errors,my system is completely stable for what i do.

I understand that the early editions of the Athlon XP 2400+ Thorton could have the L2 cache re-enabled from 256KB to 512KB. I was wondering if there was a stepping list somewhere to indicate those it was possible with, as later 2400+ Thortons were locked at 256KB. TIA

Hello, I had some probs with the Asus A7N8X-X m/b, and I would like advice on the options available. I have been advised that the Gigabyte GA-7N400-L (not the PRO, which has a noissy northbridge cooling fan) doesnt present any known problems. So, apart from the GA-7N400-L what other options are...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has a newer xp 2000 cpu? It seems that the l1 bridges are there, but they also seem spaced far apart. There is no laser etching between them. Also, the space between the l1 and l3 bridges is very small. Can anyone confirm this? Any pics I've found have been of older...

I have the above board and chip and my cpu temp is usually 49 degree celcius and sometimes goes up to 50 or 51. I am using the stock fan. Is this a normal temp? I am not OC'ing Hugh

First make sure that the cpu is not multiplier locked. This web site might help. http://fab51.com/cpu/barton/athlon-e24.html If the cpu has a locked multiplier then you will only be able to increase the fsb. Get the 8rdavcore 0.88 GUI program. Make sure you install the giveio drive located at...

Did you happen to know what the all the number on the cpu were? It sound like you have a unlocked cpu. "Christo" wrote in message ... locked multipliers? on the new board i just got.. an MSI KT6V

Hello, I am experiencing frequent crashes with my system. I have not yet been able to find the problem. At first it was just a few random crashes in graphics intensive eviroments, but now it is all the time at random times. I ran memtest on the memory, didn't find anything. I also used prime95...

I would try upping the voltage incrementally until you get no errors with the usual stability bechmarks.....prime 95, etc.

Built two computers using Athlon 3200+ 400FSB, Same gigabyte MB 7VT600 1394, same case, PC3200/400 memory, Win XP sp2. One has a thermaltake CPU fan (huge), the other has a stock AMD CPU fan. The one with the the stock fan has a fan in the back, and one in the stock PS. The other has 2 in the PS,...
