If I skip using the shim, and resort to using just a HSF, specifically the AX-7 and Vantec Tornado, when installing the HSF doesn't it go in at an angle to lock it on one side, then down onto the core (appplying pressure) to lock it in from the other side? Should I be worried that it installs...

It's leaning toward me not using a shim right now. I've found "universal" shims for ALL AMD CPUs, but no company can give me a straight answer as to if the shim will work correctly with the 2200+ CPU. I figure if I use Arctic Silver 3 and the Swiftech MCX-462-U Universal Heatsink w/ Fan, I...

Does anyone know if any company currently makes a shim for the Athlon XP 2200+ CPUs? With the resistors and capacitors on the top of the substrate I have yet to see any shims that are cut to the new specifications. I believe the core of the 2200+ is lower in height than the T-birds and...

I have an Asus A7V-E mobo, with an Athlon T'Bird 1Ghz CPU. Now, when I use Cpu-Z , it lists my CPU Frequency as 1009.0 MHz and my FSB Frequency as 100.9 MHz (DDR). What I'm wondering is, isn't my FSB supposed to be 200 MHz? And if it is, how do I go about fixing/changing it? Thanks.

I just installed a BEFSR41 DSL/Cable router onto my "network". My network consists of my PC (Running WinXP Pro) and my Xbox. I have DHCP enabled on my router. On a normal day I use the following internet applications: ICQ 2000b Beta v5.18 Build #3659 ICUII v5.5.2 mIRC 6.0/6.1 MSN Messenger...

Well, we solved the on-board audio problem by using the Audio_En jumpers on the mobo. Unfortunately that didn't solve the mouse problem. We're still trying to figure out what to do to fix that. Thanks for all your help, CAFlynn

On my Win2K Professional system I'm using an Adaptec 2930U SCSI adapter and a Plextor PlexWriter 8/20 CD-R. Win2K automatically installs a driver for my SCSI card, and I cannot find an updated one for my card on the Adaptec website. When Win2K starts up (everytime) I have to refresh my Device...

UPDATE: I went back 2 BIOS Revisions (1003, 1002) BOTH did not have the option to diable on-board legacy audio support. In the ASUS manual, it clearly states that there is an option in the BIOS to disable it. And I'm sure I have on-board audio because I have the connections and WindowsMe...

Saw a post by Kenn Hoekstra over on the STV: Elite Force boards about a "leaked" 6.28 driver being available. Does anyone know anything about this? As in, does it exist? And where to find it? -CAFlynn

As a quick update: I uninstalled the VIA 4 in 1 drivers, as I heard they were unnecessary with Window Me. Still no luck. So, as it stands, on a fresh install of Windows Me, with ONLY the 6.20 Detonator 3 drivers, and the Live! Ware 3.0 drivers installed, I still get sub-par performance from...

I recently bought an Alienware system, and after a re-install of Windows Me, I noticed that my scores in 3DMark 2000 dropped by more than 70%. Here are my system specs: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1GHz - Socket A MSI K7T Pro - VIA KT133 Chipset - With latest AWARD BIOS installed 256 MB Virtual...
