I recently acquired an Athlon XP 1600+ cpu and a motherboard which I have forgotten the name of at this time. But the system was running fine for a while and then out of the blue windows xp pro started giving me the BSoD with errors regarding memory leaks. I thought that reinstalling windows might...

Hi, I just ordered a replacement for my Dad's burned up 2800 AMD Athlon XP (fan and heatsink fell off) with a new one. He insistes that his previous CPU said "2.75 or 2.8Ghz" in the POST when he booted his PC but the specs on the one I ordered says it's a 2.08Ghz CPU. Are there different speeds...

Apologies if this is a newbie question, or the wrong NG. I have a portable with a 1GHz Athlon XP. I understand it may be possible to tweak the PowerNow settings in Windows XP to make is go slower, but possibly cooler. From where in XP do I do this? Cheers, Paul DS. --

K7S5A Pro - ECS Mainboard Brand new retail (from Newegg) Athlon XP 2500 Barton I think but not sure... Bios shows XP1700 FSB is set to 133/133 cannot increase the FSB to 166/166 board supports 200/266 is this why I do not see the CPU correctly?

I have an Iwill KA266 with a T-bird 1.4 GHz. I want to upgrade to the Athlon 64 but not until they're reasonably priced...so I'd like to do a mini upgrade of the CPU only since the XPs are really cheap right now. Except that motherboard apparently doesn't support XPs. Is that an 'official' stance...

Hi, I'm currently running an Athlon xp 2400+ on an Abit KT7A (@ 2.26GHz) I know the board doesn't officialy support the cpu but it's been running for a few months and seems stable and quick. However the bios and windows don't reconise the CPU with the 'unknown CPU type' message appearing. Will...

I have an Athlon XP 1700 CPU with 512 mb of PC 2700 memory that ran at 1.4 mhz just fine until today. That was what was originally installed and that's what all system settings in Windows XP showed. Then, I installed a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card and drivers today -- and it works fine. I'm...

Hi everybody. An old fellow over the street from me was having problems with his computer and I offered to help. To keep it short the problem is his CPU. I said to contact the company that sold the computer to him and he said they have gone belly up and are no longer around. Not a problem I thought...

Well, the AMD Athlon64 3000+ looks like the best thing since sliced bread, based on its un-overclocked results: http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=de%7Cen&u=http://www.hardtecs4u.com/reviews/2003/amd_athlon64_3000/&prev=/language_tools (thx to Derek Baker for the...

I have heard some people say that windows xp and its applications might not run on Athlon 64 bit processor. And even if Windows XP runs, its not gauranteed that all the 32 bit applications installed on windows will continue to run in the same manner with stability. Can someone throw some light on...

I purchased an Athlon 2100+ but it even AMD's own CPU utilities report, " Unknown CPU Type." This is an issue with the processor or my computer's BIOS? Sandra 2003 reports board temps of 55 degrees C and Power/Aux temps of 73 degrees C. AMD.com reports the maximum on-die temp of 90 degrees C. ...

Hi, I have a crappy modem, which, if the power goes off, it needs to be re-initialised by windows. What I mean by that is, I need to go into the modems setup in control panel, and use the !"query modem" option, before I can get anything out of the modem. Does anyone know any automated way...
