Hi, I just put the components togheter, installed WinXP Pro SP2, some basic stuff and started tests before overclocking: Asus P5B (Vanilla) C2D E6400 (2M) Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme + Akasa Ultra Quiet 120mm (18dbA/45CFM) 2Gb OCZ DDR2 PC6400 Dual XFX 7600GT Case Fans: 2xEnermax...

Hi, I read a lot of reviews but can't make my self about which one I should get. I need your expertise and knowledgement to help me out. The contenders are: Buffalo HP-G54 125g + Bufallo WLI-CB-G54S 125g or D-Link Wireless Kit 108g (DI-624+DWL-650) or Netgear WGB511 108g...

Is it possible? I just ordered my Abit NF7-S 2.0 and I'm thinking to order an 120Gb HD to join to the current 60Gb HD. Here, SATA is only US$5.00 more expensive than PATA. I read that there's no big performance difference between them (Maxtor 7200/133/8Mb flavor). I'm not a prophet, but I...

Guys, I checked on Corsair's site and found out that the VS1GKIT400 is a "Value Select Memory Module"and at the Corsair's support page they say that "it's either Cass 2.5 or Cass 3 we do not promise the SPD setting with Value select." Can anyone tell me what performance percentage I will...

Help me to figure out what to do: I have a Soyo Dragon+/XP2000+/Samsung PC2700DDR set. I decided upgrade the Mobo to an Abit NF7-S ($120 at Fry's). As I have only $300, I'm thinking about to get some memory and let the processor for 2004 - I believe the prices will drop as 64bits get more...

:D I am so stupid !!! As I cleaned up the CMOS, all bios settings were lost... including FOC setup (which default is "enable"). My Heatsink's fan is a PAPST without rpm monitor. Mobo's FOC considered that the fan was dead so it gave the "beeeeeeeep" and shutdown in sequence to protect the...

Facts: SOYO Dragon+ (266) DDR 2700 Samsung XP2000 @ 1815 (FSB 145) runing for 10 months Cronology: Two weeks ago, the system rebooted during normal operation. Last week, it rebooted 3 times (diferent days) and frozen one time (I had to reboot it). I wondered if PS could be the problem, but I...

The articles were very helpful and you too. Thank you very much!!!

Hi! Probably you read this same question a thousand times: I read somewhere that 98SE cannot address above 196Mb - more than this would be useless ? Is that true ? Thanks in advance...

That's exactly my case : it's for a niece and she needs it for web surfing and school stuff. Yesterday, I discoverd that my brother has an unused Win98SE midia. I'll try the 98SE this weekend. Thank you very much to all !

No jokes, please ! :rolleyes: I know that its a Museum piece, maybe NASA would be interested in purchase some parts of it but I want to know what Windows OS (plus Office) could be installed on it and run stable. No Linux. The performance (naturally) is not a concern. Thanks in advance...

I put mem and video back at default speeds. Changed FSB from 145 to 146. The machine booted up,I surfed net, checked emails, ran some SETI@home(10minutes), handled some word/excel docs and everything seemed OK. For testing, I started HotCPU and... aprox.12 minutes after the screen turned to...

Is there a "scientific" method to check if it is running "too hot". The Northbridge has a Fan on it. What can I do to know about potential problems ? Mr. PhoenixOfWater, thanks about the site. I'll not try those extreme OC's but they give a better view about possibilities.:)

Idle and load ? They are fine. My XP2000@1812 is 36C/42C - room temp 19C Saturday, @1800 was 38C/43C - room temp 25C
