Thanks for the replies. It is the 333 and the motherboard is A7N8X Deluxe. The CPU is showing up as a 1.23 or something a lot less than what it is erg

Sorry to ask this but I am dumber than dirt when it come to setting these multiplier stuff. I have looked till my eyes hurt so I thought I would just ask. I just got a XP2600 processor and what and where should I change the settings to in order to get it to run stock. Not interested in OCing. I...

Update on the OptoRite. Windoze says it is a Cendeyne 48x16x48. I installed it and Roxio 5.1.X platinum would not reconize it. I updated to 5.3.X and burned a small ( 40mb ) file. It was on some OLD cheap disk but it burnrd at the max ( 8 ) of the disk. Think I will keep it to stick in a spare...

Nero Express

I just picked one up and I cant tell who the heck made it. Only thing I can tell you is the model number is CW 4802. Only thing I found on a search was a burner called Opti something with that model number. It may be going back to OM erg EDIT: I am pretty sure it is this OPtoRite ( whatever...

Thanks for those reply's. I was just worried about how big a hit I would take ( if any ) by sticking with 98se. If I cant tell the difference with the eye, then I will be happy. Not concerned with benchmarks or anything like that. Just want to fly, shoot and kill without stutters and glitches...

I would like the opinions of some posters. I have been fooling around with computers since win 3.0. For the past many years I have settled on Win 98se. I have never use ME or Win 2000 and have only tried Win XP Home once and had a bad experience. My question is: I am going to build ( what I...

I got the same email yesterday. First thing I noticed when going to the link it was not a secure server. I am afraid some will fall for it.

Thanks for the reply. I cleared the bios but did not replace the battery. The memory I tried is all New, never opened Crucial. Nothing was changed or added to the system, it just quit booting. I swapped the HD over to my computer and booted to a A:\ prompt with a boot disk which it would not do...

I built a computer for a friend about 2 years ago and used a MSI K7Pro motherboard. Well the thing quit booting on him and I think I have it narrowed down to the board but before I buy another I would like confirmation. On boot I get RED/GREEN/RED/RED on the LED. The cheat sheet shows this to...

Thanks for the reply. That gets me headed in the right direction. Any recommendations on a witless NIC card ( brand or model ) erg

I have searched and read until my eyes are crossed and still do not fully understand what I need to do what I want to do. Here is my situation. My computer is a Win 98 SE based system connected to the internet by cable. I just built the wife a system based on Win XP. All I want to do is connect...

This may or may not have any bearing on your problem but it is worth reading. http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WUCritical/q273017/Default.asp I have built about 5 systems with this board and all have went well. I am by no means an expert at this just hope you get to the...

One hell of a nice machine you have there. One word of caution, building puters can be very addictive :-). I started about 2 years ago just like you. Built one for myself. Loved it so much I have probably built 20 to 25 since and have had to almost give them away to get them out of the house...
