I'll have it by tomorrow afternoon.

I tried that and the same thing happens. Do you think the cpu is good??

I have installed the motherboard with hard drive and cpu, memory and also cdrom drive. When I start it up the computer I hear the hard drive spin and its being accessed but that is it. No beeps or video. I am going to get the 2600 XP Barton tomorrow. The cpu is an old one I took out of a...

Ok thanks guys wanted to make sure. Thanks for answering.

Is it better to get one of the Mobiles that are Green or Brown? Do they represent a difference? Anyone have the green ones with good success in overclocking it? I am looking towards a 2500 XP Mobile but the color is green. The ones that I see on newegg.com are brown, so just wondering if in...

Ok.. So is it the 10000 RPMs that will make the Raptor work so well, even at the 66? Will the PCI be finally able to gain all the bandwidth that its meant to?

Will current motherboards be able to gain the full benefits of SATA II (300Mb) with the use of an adapter card? Or will it only be worth getting if one gets an PCI express based motherboard?

Well the thing about that is that I will be using Kingston Hyper X 2700. I've read that one can overclock it to around 160-180 while still being able to maintain 2-2-2-5. So thats why I am wondering since I will be working with the 2700 instaed of the 3200. So the goal is to set the FSB to...

If I have a computer that is overclocked to run at 2200Mhz. And lets say its done with either 12.5 x 176 or 11 x 200 where is the performance difference? What type of things that I will be doing with my computer where I would notice the performance difference by having a higher FSB (the 200...

Thanks for the response guys. I'll give the mobile a try. I heard that for example if a person has there cpu overclocked to like 2700 Mhz at a VCore of 1.7, eventually it needs more power to maintain it at that 2700 or they would have to clock it down. I forgot where I think it was another...

How is everyone doing? I am a bit new to overclocking. Got a few questions to ask. Appreciate some Feedback. I have purchased the Soltek FRN2-L motherboard. I also have a Kingston Hyper X 2700. I was planning on purchasing the 2600 Barton. Then I was like thinking that I would increase...
