    Dell 20 inch LCD and gaming...

    The best price/performance LCD for gaming at 20" is the Dell 2001FP. They currently run $999.00, but if you can catch a 25% off peripherals, then it is only $750.00. Plus you usually can stack coupons with that, so you may even get it for $30.00 less or $720.00. You can read reviews here...

    Has anyone upgraded their motherboard with Windows XP and not done a fresh install of Windows???

    I want to upgrade my motherboard but I don?t want to do a fresh install of Windows. I remember a couple years back upgrading with Windows 95 or 98 and I remember that I had so many problems that I just wiped my hard drive and did a fresh install of the OS. I have a lot of data that I don?t...

    2500+ Barton DOES work with my KT266/A Epox 8KHA+ MB 11X166 (Update - Now 12.5X166 for 2800+)

    I just got a $20 heatsink and fan from CompUSA. I don?t know what model it is but it has an 80mm fan on it and it was the silver plated copper heatsink. It was kind of loud, so I got a $6 dial fan switch (also from CompUSA) and turned the speed of the fan down until I was getting acceptable...

    2500+ Barton DOES work with my KT266/A Epox 8KHA+ MB 11X166 (Update - Now 12.5X166 for 2800+)

    Yes, I am running everything out of spec. I am using the 12.5 multiplier with 166Mhz bus (equivalent to 2800+). The 2500+ Barton came unlocked, so I did not have to do anything with that. I am running Turbo settings on my ram which is Crucial PC2100. The only thing I had to do to get the...

    2500+ Barton DOES work with my KT266/A Epox 8KHA+ MB 11X166 (Update - Now 12.5X166 for 2800+)

    First off, let me start by saying that I heard that all Epox KT266/A motherboards are rev. 2.0 and the ones that say 1.3 were misprinted. I believe this is because the 8KHA [non (+) Plus] board previous to this one was a KT266 that was at rev. 1.3 so some of the early 8KHA+ boards had 1.3...

    Epox 8KHA+, best CPU w/ PC2100?

    Thank you for the tip. I actually go the chip in last night but I have not had a chance to install it. FYI, all the boards made were 2.0 as I understand it. I heard that the ones that were printed with 1.2 or whatever were misprints. I don't know for sure, but I have a 2.0. By the way, the...

    Epox 8KHA+, best CPU w/ PC2100?

    I have the same board that you have (8kha+) with a 1600+ oc to 2000+. I currently am running 11X150=1650. I have crucial pc2100 ram in (3 sticks of 256mb). I have ordered a 2500+ Barton from NewEgg to see if that will work with my motherboard. I flashed the board with the new BIOS last...
