    Overclocking 939 motherboard with AGP

    I think DFI do a Socket 939 NForce 3 board now.

    I'm bored and want to overclock a P2....

    You need soemthing to raise the FSB. I think the multiplier was locked on most PII's. You might need to cover some of the pins to raise the Vcore too. The Celerons did much nicer overclocks....

    Moving XP-90 from from one CPU to another

    Alcohols aren't that easily reduced (though it can be done) and are not generally known as oxidants.

    ..... MSI P4N SLI-FI NVIDIA Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / Gigabit LAN / USB 2.0 & Firewire / Serial ATA / SLI.....

    Anyone heard of CACJE Opteron 144 stepping?

    AMD Opteron 146 OEM OSA146DAA5BN CACJE 0546BPMW Purchased from Scan in the UK Does 260x10 = 2600 @ 1.5V on a DFI Ultra D with an XP-90 + Panaflo. Tried clocking the memory down but it doesn't help. It needs 1.5V to be prime stable. My previous CPU, a 3000+ Winnie, did 270x9. I...

    Anyone care to explain this one?

    I'd guess the expansion boards will have DDR2 slots on.

    What Is Hyperthreading?

    For AMD 64 bit processors have 2 modes, 32 bit and 64 bit. Which mode it is is decided when you boot your OS. If it's a 32 bit OS it goes into 32 bit mode. If it's a 64 bit OS it goes into 64 bit mode. Hence why you can't run a 64 bit OS on a VMWare virtual machine if the host OS is 32 bit...

    Trying to use a K8NSC-939 to OC but don't seem to have enough options...

    You might need to press F2 (not sure of key) to get all the BIOS menu's. I don't think the S-ATA drives are locked on this board.

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    All 4 power connectors to motherboard must be used. 24pin ATX 2.0 PSU must be used (at least 480W strongly recommended). A 20 to 24 pin adaptor is not recommended. Normally Dimm 2 must be populated (one of the later BIOSes I think gets around this). Use the orange slots for dual channel...

    DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D

    Nah not really. Use a 24 pin PSU (ATX 2.0) and plug all leads in (including Molex and floppy connector). Wouldn't even think of overclocking until you know it's all stable. There plenty of useful info at the DFI Forums Read the critical and non-critical stickies.

    "Official" DFI nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR Thread

    But sometimes there is a drop in peformance when using bridgeless SLI versus bridged.

    A8N-SLI - How serious are the SATA problems

    The Nforce4 Ultra and SLI chipsets support NCQ. The NForce 4x does not (possibly can be done by some unlocking).
