i unlocked my XP1900 using an LCD bridge and its well done. (i think so - the computer boots normally...) once i get into the a7v333 bios under Advanced/CPU speed i get 2 options: manual/1600/1200. 1200 set mult to 12 and FSB to 100, 1600 set mult to 12 and FSB to 133, and manual lets me choose...

Hi Damien, your cooler is like this one, correct? I can't find a photo of the bottom, but if it has a "step" cut into it, the stepped end should be at the cam end of the CPU socket where the CPU lockdown lever pivots. If the step is not at that end, the base of the cooler will touch the cambox...

I have an overheating problem! Once i power up the system i went straight to the bios screen. I touched none of the settings and went to see the CPU's temps. 56C... 57... (...) 63.5... 64... it climed up to this in the Bios screen! Its suposed to be idle right? What its max? AMD.COM says its 90C...

lol!!! hey man, im sorry !!... english isnt my primary language, portuguese is! dont try to tell me a joke in english! you'd get a better reaction from a door!! :) :P

my old 486dx2 was a very curious machine: after having it for 3 years, it began going like every 7 days it would fail. Why? nobody knows! What i do know is that every 7 days it would go beep-beep-beep - ya know no RAM present in the system. I never got to know what happened but i would get i up...

<< don't forget the ata-133 screw to mount the hd!!! >> what do you mean by ata133 screws? aren't the screws just some normal screws? I thought that all an hd required was to be screwed real thigh (not to be taken as "fu**ed real tight":) ) so that there are no vibrations! DamienV

I guess i'll buy a7v333 fited w/ 512Mb ddr333 C2 Corsair mem and stick a 0.13u XP in it OC'ed at 150/166Mhz FSB. I just dont know if the ASUS mboard has a /5 divider to keep the PCI bus at 33Mhz... do you? Do you think an Alpha PAL8045 w/ a 80mm Delta 4000rpm fan will keep it cold enough? What...

U pple mean that an external AGP4x vid card wont take advantage of the extra bandw/ provided by something else other than a single stick of 64bit of ddr266?? What if we where talking about AGP8x?

I'm undecided between buying a board w/ kt333 or nforce615 chipsets: on one hand the KT333 has ata133, ddr333, usb2, and its available!... The nforce615 althow still not available (witch is irrelevant since i'm waiting for XP's 0.13u) will also have ata133(?), usb2(?), and ddr333. My question...
