thanks, i'll check newegg and see what brands use that chipset. are the offerings from via and sis any good? are most of the newer p4 chipsets dual channel ddr?

Looking to upgrade my xp 2100 system pretty soon, I think I'm going to go up to a p4 when the prices on the 3ghz start to come down. I have seen that via, sis, and intel all have various chipsets available for p4. What is a good one to get and what motherboard is best? I want to keep the mobo...

Have a recently built system, amd2000+ , soyo dragon lite, 512mb Micron DDR etc. System is rock stable, couldnt ask for more. I have this one problem regarding a memory leak and i cant figure it out. I installed a maxtor ata133 ide controller and whenever I'm running my ftp server and ppl are...

I would think anything 55c or lower is ok for an AMD. However, with my experience, I've found that the cooler your cpu, the more stable your system is, even if the cpu is in "acceptable" ranges. I had an overclocked p3 for a long time and if the temp was 45c or lower it was alway rock...

I have a legit copy of windows 98se if you'd like me to ship it to you for a reasonable fee :).. all serials and book included. I agree with Ionizer, 98se is overall a better OS than ME. Now ME may be ok after you reformat and get all the latest windows updates, but I doubt it. I do tech...

sorry, if your recovery console doesnt recognize the drive, then it cant repair the installation:( When this has happened to me, the only thing I could do was format/reinstall However, if you can boot into XP, why not boot into that to backup any files you need or whatever, If you have XP on...

My cd writer (Teac 4x) has been acting up lately Symptoms... I burned 3 coasters in a row. these were pure data burns just trying to burn a divx file. Nero will burn the cd's fine and when finished i can see the file but it wont open.. it just simply bogs down my pc until i end task. I know...

works fine make sure you have latest drivers for your vid card and latest version of quake

Hi all, I was getting occasional memory leaks in XP so I went back to 2000.. I'm pretty sure the leaks were occurring with 1 or 2 applications I was running (one is Direct Connect becuase I've seen this on others pc's) Anyway, I was wondering.. What can cause a memory leak.. Is it ONLY an...

if its happening every hour on the hour exactly it has to be either a power saving bug/feature out of whack or a Virus.. run a virus scan

Is yours a legitimate copy of XP? Are you trying to boot from the cd or upgrade in windows? Try removing or disabling your raid controller.

Well, unfortunately right now I am fat and out of shape lol :D working on gettin back in shape slowly but surely anyway, I have been a runner and weight lifter in the past and I can tell you a marathon is nothing to play with.. Truthfully, I never have run one but i have run a 30k before and...
