The T-Bred "B" CPU's dip as low as 1700+ on the new die process. This information was found here, right at home: How to spot a Thoroughbred As for your motherboard, upon some research, your board is practically identical to my DFI AD70-SC, which supports up to the 2100+, but I know of people...

Randomboy: I said 300"C not 300"F

The Athlons will get hot enough to emit smoke with or without something on them. Case and point, TBird Athlon 1.0 GHz of mine. Guess I wanted to see it first hand. I sure did. I still have the chip to show people what happens. Don't ever ever ever ever run an Athlon without a heatsink and...

Do you mean the boot floppy like what you can create off of Windows 9x through the Add/Remove pane? Because you can do this in XP (just not through that method). I just don't want to post info that doesn't pertain since I'm not positive that's what you're looking for.

I had the same problem with my Cognisurf connection - except I didn't upgrade. This is on my laptop, and it absolutely will not work unless I change one thing. For username, I had to put in my full name. so for example instead of just opterongeek I had to put opterongeek@myisp.com and then...

I've noticed in XP that never quite fixes it. Even if the Dot is in the top option, sometimes Autoplay even fails to bring up the main window. Try this pastorjay: Go to Start > Run and type gpedit.msc and click OK In the new window, go to User Configuration and click the + Under there, go...

I've noticed in XP that if there is anything that was previously using the folder, example is when I listen to an MP3 that was in the folder, then I stopped playback, moved the file to another folder on the same or a different hard drive, re-enqueued it in WinAmp and played it, I couldn't delete...

What happens when you use System Managed?

I found a couple of articles on it - I'm curious, anyone here willing to consider this as an alternative OS? http://geeklog.sourceforge.net/pollbooth.php?qid=osx&aid=-1 http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,496270,00.asp P.S. I searched for this kind of topic on Anandtech here, so I hope...

I vaguely remember having talked to the place I bought it that told me it was an AYHJA core, and I remember checking the die when I got it and it was what they said, so I know the core is capable, I just haven't done O/C for a while on processors. I managed to get 1524 @ 145 Bus default...

Just curious, I did some playing last night, bumping up core voltages, etc. Got a decent overclock, but I'm curious to see what everyone here has seen for an average 1.4 GHz Athlon TBird overclock. What is the AVERAGE O/C for an aircooled TBird at 1.4 around?

Yeah I agree with IRJack, there are a few mobos out there with issues when all 3 banks are populated (not to mention the extra strain on the memory controller when O/Cing) The KT266A is about as solid as I've seen them. I've had this DFI AD70-SC board for a while now, and it's a wonderful...

If you go with an XP based Proc, 250 Watts will be sufficient, but it's indeed pushing it. Keep in mind also that OEMs build systems based on the Athlons for 250w (of course, you won't see Alienware or Falcon doing this...) I did some digging, and I can't guarantee I can find combos, but I did...
