Thanks for the help everyone! Hmm not using any thermal grease I should look into that. Also I could probably get a better heatsink, I'm using the stock one that came w/ the processor. Anyway I will make sure the heatsink and processor are hooked in right Again thnx for the help and now I...

I'm buying memory on NewEgg. Currently I have two sticks of Crucial 256mb PC2100 in my system. I want to buy a 512mb piece of the same speed. Would this have any negative effects? I remember reading somewhere if you mix 256mb with 512mb pieces you cannot have dual channel access or something...

Okay, I ordered all the parts for my new computer. I have: NV7 133R nforce mobo athlon xp 1800 256mb crucial pc2100 ddr geforce 4 ti4200 video card 64mb 40gb silent maxtor drive 7,200rpm 2mbcache antec truepower 380 power supply cd rom drive from my old computer floppy drive from my old...

First, you go to www.ebay.com Search for this thing called a "thumb screw" Win the auction. Then, once its at home, follow the instructions and apply its use to your 2 year old.

Well, heres what I was planning to do: Take the motherboard with all the chips and power supply attached to it, and put it on a 100% wooden open shelf. Its a real big, box-shaped shelf. Two sides of it are open. Then, I would put some mesh around it. Then, I have two house fans. They're of...

Okay, I'm still building that new system. Heres the specs as of now: NV7 133R mobo Athlon XP 1800 256 Crucial memory GeForce 4 ti4200 64mb IBM 40gb fast hard drive Gonna use onboard sound All thats left to get is a case and a power supply. Now, I was wondering if I really do need a case. I...

Uh... I've only had one zit, and it was on my middle finger lol no glasses, i have very sharp vision. infact, i cant imagine how it could get any better.

Hey, I'm getting a NV7-133R coming in the mail. I checked out that diagram, and your right... things look a little crowded. However, I think it'll fit, just barely. I think you can put the memory in any DIMM socket thing you want, so I'd just put it all in the ones in the back, where there wont...

Hey, I'm a little worried about one thing though. Will the Geforce 4 be able to fit on the motherboard? The area where the DIMM goes looks like its in the way.

I also just ordered the processor. Athlon 1800, 1.53ghz or something like that. I think its fast enough...

Okay, I just ordered the Abit NV7-133R mobo. Its cheaper, and comes with USB 2.0 and better sound. As for processor, I'm still sticking with either an Athlon XP 1800 or 1900. Still getting a 256mb Samsung memory, unless I see something of the same quality for cheaper. Geforce 4 TI 4200 video...

I'm planning on sticking with the same keyboard and mouse my HP came with (atleast for a while). As for speakers, the ones I have are pretty good. And as for monitor I have a SyncMaster 753df. Flat screen, 19inch. Never had a problem with it. So, if I'm selling the HP, its only going to be the...

I have a 16gig hard drive already... yeah, i know its small. but HP computers are so crappy! even though I got it back in late 1999, it was still very overpriced. $900 for this POS! it came with a celeron 500, 64mb RAM, a real crappy like 9mb built-in video card, and a real crappy built-in sound...

My first post here at Anandtech! Well, I'm building a computer for the first time. I don't have much money. I'm not legally old enough for a job yet, so making money is hard work. Anyway, heres what I'm planning: Epox 8K3A+ mobo... $98.44 I was originally going to go with a $50 or so KG7RAID...
