well... afaik it's not until they changed the naming to a7v133 that the boards had support for a 133MHz fsb. I would bet that any athlon with a 100MHz fsb will work fine and anything over won't. It's always nice to get positive confirmation before spending money though. Perhaps this page will...

Probably an athlon 1400 with a 200MHz FSB. Check asus.com to make sure.

Mitsumi 4804TE I've had it years and its burnt hundreds of CDs, not one has been bad.

Perhaps there are devices beside the monitor that are causing interference. Speakers?

Could be a heat problem... or a power supply problem... or if it's overclocked you may have gone a bit too far.

Your right, it can't be done.

I have a quantum fireball drive that used to make a high pitched noise also. The drive was virtually silent when I bought it but it became louder as time passed. It was driving me nuts so I took it out and noticed most of the noise was comming from the bottom of the drive. I stuffed a...

I had a board that would do the same thing when overclocked. If your not overclocked then updated port drivers may resolve the issue. If possible you should consider exchanging the wheel for a usb device.

Based on the system specs in your profile you have gone from pc800(RDRAM) to PC2700(DDR) memory. Perhaps your old dell mobo wasn't such a pos after all.

If you added 256megs of different memory to the 256 that you already had, your memory may have been reduced to the highest common supported timings. First thing I'd try is tweaking memory settings in bios.

Quote: fearorlove, i know i definitely need more than 256mb sdr ram because of the way my current computer runs (yes, the celeron 366 has a lot to do with the performance as well, but i like to keep lots of apps open at the same time so ram is definitely a big factor). my question was more to...

If you needed more than 256megs of ram chances are you would know it. But since your asking the question your probably better off getting the ddr. We would be able to provide better advice if you told us what types of software you plan on running. (games, media editing, mp3 compression, etc)

Dell has the jumper settings online. If the system you have is the one described in the url in my last post then click the documentation link for the jumper settings. If not then select a different system to find the correct documentation.
