    AMD Mobile and desktop PC problems

    Ah...well then, I may be screwed. The VA-10 appears to have no settings in the BIOS to increase or decrease the multiplier. For that matter, doesn't even list it.

    AMD Mobile and desktop PC problems

    I'm having trouble with a Mobile 2400+ (Barton core) I bought. I'm running it in a Abit VA-10 mATX board (via KM400 chipset). It will POST, but it doesn't recognize the CPU. This is what it reads: Main Processor: Unknown CPU Type 606 MHz. Anyone had similar problems with the Mobile Athlons...

    Abit IC7 (not IC7-G) and onboard NIC?

    Just got my IC7 board from IC7 board from Newegg (it is not an IC7-G). The newegg description very clearly states that it doesn't have a NIC, and the pictures of the board on the site clearly show just a large, solid chunck of metal by the USB ports where you'd normally find a NIC. This is...

    2.6c or 2.8c

    After some deliberation, I settled on the 2.8c. Ordered from newegg today. thanks for the input! *fingers crossed*

    2.6c or 2.8c

    My concern is that I have heard the 2.6c is quite hard to get pushed up to 3.5ghz, and the 2.8c was *very* luck of the draw. I am concerned w/ overall performance (which is what i should've originally said). Just trying to figure out which would be best giving the components i'm already buying.

    2.6c or 2.8c

    I'm planning on buying an Abit IC7 with 1GB (2x512) of Corsair PC3700. With stock cooling, would I be able to generally achieve better overall performance from overclocking a 2.6c or 2.8c? I'm less concerned with the percentage increase I can get in clock speed as I am with the overall speed.

    Geforce2 (AGP 4x compliant)?

    I have an old Geforce2 card, which is 4x AGP. This *should* work in this board. i.e....even though this board (The P4P800, non-deluxe) has an 8x AGP slot, it should be backwards compatible?

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    I'm looking to buy this board and a 2.4c for overclocking. I had read back about a month and a half ago that this board was very finicky w/ memory. What memory has someone had luck with OC'ing the 2.4c with on this board?

    Abit IC7 875P chipset motherboard

    Even if for some crazy reason your old Netgear card dies, you can pick up a reliable 10/100 NIC anymore for less than $15. Even on my University's DS-3, my 5 year old ethernet card never was a bottleneck

    What type of memory works well w/ P4P800

    What type of memory besides Corsair have people got to work with the P4P800 for overclocking? I'm trying to find something else besides shelling out $250+ for a gig of PC3500 Corsair. Has anyone even gotten the Corsair PC3200 to work for overclocking on this board?

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    I am looking at buying the P4P800 board w/ a 2.4c. Though (like everyone) I'd like to get as much as possible out of this chip, I'd be satisifed running it w/ the FSB around 250-260Mhz. I'm looking at some Kingston PC3200 HyperX 512MB (KHX3200/512) memory. Anyone have experience using this...

    Will I need a new case for a P4?

    I've got a P4 certified Enermax 365V. Thanks all.

    Will I need a new case for a P4?

    Do P4's still require a special case and/or mobo to mount their HSF? I've got an Antec case that I bought in September '01 (I can't find the model number on it...it's all painted. there are three (3) 5.25" bays, a single floppy drive, and 3 internal drive bays). I'm wondering if it will be...

    Abit IS7 to Asus P4P800

    I'm looking at getting either the Abit IS7 or the Asus P4P800 with a P4 2.4c. Which board would I be better of getting for OCing purposes if I want to take it up to around 3.1 Ghz or so? (The ~$35 difference isn't really a big deal). Thanks.

    Abit IS7 and P4 2.4c...what type of memory?

    So I'd really be quite a bit better off w/ at least PC3200 (or PC3500) than w/ PC2700? And you think Corsair is the way to go? What about any other brands?
