Hi, now that i'm (finally) going to make the upgrade to Socket 939, i decided i'll keep my AGP video card (GF 6800GT) for the time being. So, i'm looking for an AGP only S939 mainboard(don`t want that dual Sata2 thingy), which will allow me to overclock as much out of that 3700+ San Diego i'm...

Currently I'm running an unlocked 2500 on an NF7-S v.2 at 3200+ speed at 1.825v. I'd like to try an XP-M 2400 or 2500 to try an squeeze a couple hundred or so Mhz out of it. I'm using Hyperx PC3200 and an SLK900a HS/92mm Panaflo combo. Which processor should I be looking at - the 35w or 45w? ...

I have a Maxtor 200GB (6Y200P0) and a Western Digital 250GB WD2500JB in a AMD 2500 / Abit NF7-S - 1GB RAM. I am running Windows XP Pro. I was wondering how long it should take to copy large files between the drives. I have some TV captures that are about 8-12GB. It just seems like it takes a...

Hi, Are there any harddrives that are known for being quiet? And any that are known for operating at a low(er) temperature, and any that are preferably both?. I have 2 seagate barracuda drives in my box and they are the noisiest components in there. After the box has been on a while, they make a...

Most people here seem to have great success o/c the Barton 2500....I'm just wondering how many of you out there have had Bartons that just won't allow themselves to be pushed far even with a good m/b, RAM, all the tweaks, upped voltages, and extra cooling applied. Mine seems to be one those....I've...

Hi! I'm having a problem here that's a bit scary. Often I get electricuted by just touching the chassis of my computer. I've changed to a new PSU and a new chassi, but it still happends no matter what combination I'm using. Leaning over it to fix a cable behind it, just touching it and similar...

Hi all! It's time to get rid of my TUSL2-C+Cel1000 duo. I want to change to AMD... Looked the things up and I think the XP2600+ (boxed) and the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe (...and o'course some DDR @ 333 Corsair RAMs...)

It seems possible to purchase Atlon XPs at equal PR ratings yet different types...... What's different about them, say for a processor with a rating of 1800 ? Oh yes.. what does the + sign after the 18OO signify ? What are series 6 or 8 athlons ?

I changed the bios setting on my computer and now it will not boot the monitor don't even start up. my system is: Processor : AMD Athlon XP3000+ Operating System : Windows XP Home Edition Memory : 512Mb DDR RAM Hard Disk : 160Gb 7200rpm Hard Disk 16x DVD-ROM Display : 5x USB

I had my XP2000+ runing at just over 2GHz till my psu overloaded. the 2000+ chip seems to remain stable well above stock settings. if you have a decent hsf and psu why not see how for it will go? your ram will probably be the breaking point as it will eventually run as DDR400. "Mauro Pintus"...

I am planning to use a 120mm blowhole in my case to direct cool outside air onto my CPU Heatsink. I also plan to take the existing 80mm Heatsink fan off and rely on the blowhole fan to push air onto it. Question is: where can I get flexible ducting to do the job? Staright rigid duct isnt any use...

I currently have 2X256MB PC3500 Corsair XMS installed on my NF7-S. I want to upgrade to 1GB RAM total. I only want to buy 1 additional 512MB module. Will 2X256 + 512 work in this config? I know I can fit 3 on there, but will there be any conflicts? Thanks

Hello. My computer is having this chronic problem which I believe is hardware related. I've narrowed it down to either the CPU (Athlon Thunderbird 850 socket A) or the motherboard ( Asus A7V133-VM, VIA KM133 chipset) The problem happens at random, but is more commonly 'provoked' when there are...
