OK, here's what I'm trying to do. I have 2 video cards, an ati x800 and an ati x300. The x800 is in the top x16 slot, the x300 in the bottom. the computer doesnt even pick up the x300. if i take out the x800 card, the x300 will not even show the bios screen, let alone windows. yet it has power...

<< The 1800= ships with a piece of thermal tape attached to it so you should be fine for now. I couldn't find the arctic tube when I installed mine, so I went with the tape until I bought some more, and it worked fine. I think the CPU was about 45 idles and in the upper fifties on full load. Not...

it is oem, so hopefully it will have one on there.. hehe, if not i'm sure i can find a dollar.. are you sure thats how much it is? i dont wanna go there with 2 bucks in change and find out its 4 dolla.. hehe, since i dont have a car, the nearest radio shack is kinda far.. but, there is always...

Is this stuff really nessecary? I've got a new proc (xp 1800+) coming today, but i dont have any damn thermal tape/paste and i have absouletly NO money to go get some.. heh i know its less that 10$ but thats how poor i am.. hehe.. so i know its going to run a little bit hotter, but not OMG my...

<< DUDE thats $160+Tax+S/H down the draiN! And your still smiling????? You must be some rich ass fool, PLEASE BUY ME A NEW CPU TOO THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D >> i'm smiling only because i am ROFL @ myself.. its seriously the stupidest thing i have ever done.. and with this...

133$ + S/H actually.. what other choice did i have? :(

1800, i did :) i fried my 1800, within a second that i turned it on.. lol, but alas i ordered another one :P

<< << well, i think i've come to an conclusion.. when i mounted the heatsink on there i didnt put it on right, so the core wasnt touching the cpu, so i believe its fried :( >> :( from now on, always make sure you have good contact before booting!:o:frown: >> ok, here's the final story...

lol yea :) i will pay attention more closely next time :P also gotta go get some of that thermal grease..

well, i think i've come to an conclusion.. when i mounted the heatsink on there i didnt put it on right, so the core wasnt touching the cpu, so i believe its fried :(

I just got my Abit KG7 and XP 1800 today along with 512mb of pc2100 ram.. anywho, the damn thing turns on like a normal, good system would, but it doesnt post. !! i need help, plz!! i've tried booting w/ only a vga card and ram.. still no go.. and i've moved the ram to every slot .. pressing...

i dunno. i actually ordered the 1gb of ram on accident, meant to get only 1 512 but got 2, and when i noticed it was too late, the reason i didnt get a better video card is, i dont really need better.. i dont play games often, other then solitare.. lol, j/k.. just wasn't in the mood for a better...

yea, its my first amd system ever.. previously i was an intel worshipper, until i actually looked at benchmarks.. lol.. i think i went all out ordering the system, except video card wise.. some of the additions i bought were ::][ Thermaltake Active Memory Cooling Kit ::][ Thermaltake Memory...

I just ordered an Abit KG7, AMD XP 1800+, 1GB PC2100 RAM, Winfast Geforce2 Titanium TH.. I can't wait until it gets here (thursday).. aahhhhh.. i'm going to try to go to sleep for 2 days.. maybe that will work.. I figured I needed a new computer since I'm running dual celerons @ 466 w/ 386MB...
