So what's the deal on the pin count for the CPU on the motherboard? Maybe I missed it but none of the posts or the review on Hardware Central have answered that question. I asked a Dell sales rep and she said that it was 423 pin count and she asked the tech support but I still don't believe...

Don't know if this belongs here but i don't think there's any other topic that would fit this subject but just wanted some suggestions on any reviews people had for MCSE and A+ books from different publishers. What are the best books that help pass the test? What are the best books that will...

I don't know if this is the correct forum for this but I couldn't really find a specific one that would fit my question. But does anyone know of any online site or B&M store that sells MCSE books, or any MS Press books, along with any technical books (ie programming, OS books)?

I've looked on Asus BIOS update fixes and I didn't explicitly see anything about the P3B-F supporting a PIII 1.0GHz/100MHz bus so I was wondering if anyone knows for certain whether the Asus P3B-F could support a PIII 1GHz/100?

What about the Midiland S4-8200 Dolby Digital system? How do the Midiland's stack up to the Cambridge DTT3500 and the Klipsch?

I have been using an Intellimouse Optical for a year now that is hooked up to the USB port on an Aopen AX6BC (BX chipset) on a Win2K Pro system. Sometimes when i'm just moving the mouse in normal use without any bandwidth intensive applications running (ie CD burning or games) usually to the...

Anyone know a link where I can download patches, service packs, Internet Explorer for the different Microsoft OSes in particular Windows 2000 Professional without having to go through Windows Update in order that I can save and archive all the patches so I wouldn't have to download them all again?

I have an Abit BX6 2.0 and I flashed it with the latest BIOS. On their website it seems the latest BIOS only supports up to 600MHz is that true? Because I have a Retail Celeron 566MHz on an Abit Slotket that i wanted to overclock to 850MHz. Is that possible because when i tried to overclock...

So leave the jumper on the bus at Auto? and leave the jumpers on the Voltage as Auto? and change it through the BIOS right? Isn't 1.75V a little too much voltage for a 566 to 850 jump on a Retail Celeron 566? I thought most Retail 566s reached 850 on the default 1.50v or at most 1.65v

So they have methods of proving it was overclocked then? What if you say that the CPU was causing problems when you installed it when your previous CPU was having things work fine?

Well I changed the jumper on the Abit Slotket to 100MHz and change the voltage to 1.65V and left the jumper as Coppermine setting and when it booted to Windows I used WcpuID and it said the speed was 566MHz so that's how I know it didn't overclock to 566. Like it says after the POST does not...

Let's just say you wanted to overclock a chip to a certain speed say a RETAIL Celeron 566 to 850MHz and it doesn't reach it. Can you purposely fry the chip and return it to Intel to get a replacement in hopes of getting a chip that does overclock to 850MHz? If you return a chip in general...

I was trying to overclock the Celeron 566 on a Abit BX6 2.0 version and it does accept Coppermine chips because it runs reliably at 566 MHz, but I was wondering does it support the overclock to 850? I checked the latest BIOS and they don't have any support for 850 at least it doesn't mention...

I was wondering if any of you have PC Power Cooling Power Supplies and what do you think of them? How silent are the silencers? How efficient are the Turbo Cools? Should I get a Silencer or Turbo Cool? Any opinions would be appreciated.

I haven't tried a base case in which i clocked the Celeron 300A to normal 300MHz operation. But the PCI Graphics card (Viper V330) works perfectly. I've tried 3 different graphics card so I think I've tried enough. When I installed the Stealth III S540 Xtreme and Viper II the drivers were...
