Looks like I have to reset the "jumperless" mode and set it to 133x7.3 on the motherboard in order to run at 133 fsb and still keep the cpu down to 1 gig. I will give it a try. Thanks for the input guys.

No, I use a big Swiftech cooler with a black delta 7200 rpm fan on it ( I live in Death Valley, very , very hot out here) and it works better than any I have used and I have used a lot!! I tried what you guys said and two things happened. It did show 2100 in the boot up screen but since it is...

You guys are right!! I have a 1 gig ( CRUSHED the 1.4) my third one I have crushed out of the last dozen by the way, I am real bad at applying the heatsinks, and I let the bios default at 100 fsb x 10 for a 1 gig. I will try your change. thanks!!

I lost ( bad me) my reciept from my last purchase for ungrade stuff and I got a 1.4 AMD T bird, an Asus A7M266 motherboard, and 2 sticks of 256 Samsung PC-2100 DDR memory. It was from one of my regular places like Accubyte or something like that, always very reputable, but I have a question and...

Found it guys, it was the new USB D-Link 10/100M fast Ethernet adapter, since I uninstalled it and unpluged the USB cable and went back to my cheap ethernet card, got back all my points I lost. Should have know better, should have checked it first. However, I would still love to use it since...

Felix, I tried it both way, no change with the Turbo button. The first week it was on, I tried setting it to normal to see if that helped, but it did not so I switched it back to Turbo. SPD has detected that my DDR is CAS 2.5 apparently since that is what it said and is greyed out, still...

I recently upgraded a bit and replaced a few things on my computer. I did the following. changed the Abit KT7A raid to an Asus A7M266 changed from g force 2 to G force 3 changed from 384 megs of PC-150 SDRAM to 512 of DDR Changed 1.2 T bird to 1.4 T bird. Everything went well, all benchmarks...

I stuck the side on this big devil and fired up all those massive 120MM fans, CPU is now at 46, MB temp went from 40C to 29, guess the fans are doing some good after all. Since it is so hot where I live, I had to get all the air I could get moving, this case has over 750cfm and does a great...

Thanks for the help guys, I will try and plug in all the fans, button op both side, fire up all the wind machines, and see if it gets better. But I did feel the heatsink before when it was an Abit with the 1.2 and is was cool to the touch, it is not now. But I assume 55C is safe?

Help!! I just upgraded my machine a bit and am having trouble with heating, although it is not hot enought yet to cause problems. I hate to do this but I will list what I had and what I changed, I am sorry to take up so much space, but maybe you can spot something from this. I was running...

Geeze, I am sorry, all I have is the 384 megs of PC-150 Mushkin at hand, the two sticks of DDR I have are both 256 each so I don't have enough. I guess I could pull out one of the 128 meg sticks of Pc 150 so I would have 256 and then try the DDR with only one stick ( can I do that? Do I have...

Will do Ledzepp98, I will post the old stuff with the card out and then in, and then the additional gains if any with the addition of the DDR and the new MB. I will leave the 2 IBM'S ATA 100 30 gig hooked up to the promise controler and leave that part alone, they perform very well in the Raid...

I am getting ready to do some extensive testing with 512 of PC-2100 DDR and a 1.4 T bird, as compared to the 1.2 and 384 megs of PC-150 SDRAM. If you ( or anyone else) is interested, I will post the results next week to see what kind of difference I am getting. I already installed a G force3...
