If windows xp is saved as an exe file how do you install it??If in windows it says it can not be started and in dos it says the program is to big for memory like it needs a boot disk or something.Is a download like this not usable??thanks

Thanks for the help on this. I think i will leave it at 153fsb, i will probably only have this stuff for 6-8 months anyway. thanks again

I have a gigabyte Ga-7dxr motherboard and i had been running it at 153 fsb. I don't think the ga-7dxr has any kind of pci divider to slow down the cards. Can running these high of fsb's damage components over time??What would be the highest fsb that would be safe without the divider in the...

I switched my fan around so it is now sucking air in through the fins and blowing out the top. My case fans then suck the hot air out of the case. I sealed around the fan so it would be for sure taking air in through the fins. I think it is running at the same temps if not a degree cooler with...

Yes this heatsink is a bit tricky to clip on because the clip can move around so much. Lucky164 i have the thermaltake 31cfm fan and it works very well and is really quiet. I don't know if it is right for you though if your temps are that high already.

I am using the Gigabyte GA-7DXR motherboard with the sensor that touches the cpu(for more accurate temp readings) and an athlon 1ghz@1.4ghz at default voltage. I had been using the fop 38 with a delta 38cfm fan and it idled at around 48c and with a load as high as 57c. I now am using the sk6...

I just bought a sk-6 with a thermaltake 31cfm fan. I plugged it into the motherboard fan header and it seems to be working fine. Is this safe though?? I know it's power consumption is only about a little more then the little chipset fan on my northbridge. I get fairly decent temps of around 44c...

thanks for the help.I think i will replace it with a bit bigger of a heatsink with some arctic silver. thanks again

I was wondering if the stock hsf on the 761 northbridge is good enough or is it advisable to stick a better hsf on there for best performance??Mine is stuck on there with some thermal tape,so should i at least clean that off and use some arctic silver on it??thanks for any help on this

I have heard from several people not to install Via's hard drive controller drivers and to leave the microsoft standard ones installed. Why are the microsoft ones better then the Via ones??Are the Via ones just buggy with certain hardware or are they slower performing as well??Has anyone else...

I am wondering if better cooling or applying arctic silver is necessary on this motherboard or any AMD 761 chipsets?? I have heard that the fan is kind of slapped on there kind of rough but does it even get very warm?? Anyone install better cooling and see a differencein performance??thanks for...

thanks for your help athlon4all

I was just wondering if anyone knows when the new revision Ali Magic chipset is going to be coming out on the A7A266??Anybody know of any articles on this new chipset and how it compares to the current ones on the market??Thanks a lot for any help on this.

I am looking at sparkle power supplies and the only one they have here where i live is a 300watt pentium one. Is there much difference? Is the motherboard power connector different??thanks for any help

I have a generic power supply,well its a deer 300 watt. I was wondering if i try to run my 1ghz athlon at around 1.4ghz or so will i likely run into problems due to the psu?? I run a few fans off of their own power supplies to cut down on power supply strain. My 5volt line is around 4.85 under a...
