    Chipset fan. Can I do without?

    I've been running like this for going on 3 weeks now. I'm not overclocking but I doubt there would be any problems even if I cranked it up a little.

    Chipset fan. Can I do without?

    Know what you mean. Mine started making the noise of a pending demise so I put a heatsink from an old matrox G200 on there. Seems to work well enough for me, the noise is gone and I don't smell anything burning....yet I've looked around and found what should be a better heatsink from here...

    Cmon now AMD, Hire a New Marketing Team, Quick!!!

    Man. That's just pitiful. It looks like some cheap, 2-bit infomercial you'd see at 2am...only not a third as good. This is what happens when you have the engineers do marketing. I did get one hellova laugh from it though so it wasn't a complete loss. Didn't ya just love that "gamer" kid...

    Does a router need to be physically at the center of a network?

    Doesn't matter. If the 5 PC's are connected to the hub or switch just uplink it to the router (gateway).

    need help with my ecs k7vza and 1.4g athlon

    You may want to try some name brand RAM (Crucial) and see if that fixes the problem. I've had the same problem but on a different mainboard and the better ram did the trick. Hope that helps
