46c is not bad at all. My old XP-2800+ with mild OC was 48c idle on a Aero7+

you got a nice system keep what you have and this should be avil soon. costs little more but crank up that FSB over 230 and be flying with once of the best ram you can get. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-985&depa=1 if going to keep FSB at 200 stick...

ouch just checked my local store. need a bios flash and you can't use barton or thor B core XP processors palomino core would work up to 2100+ or a 1.3 duron or lower should work with a bios update. Bios # 1.05 Personally I would get a 2500 barton mobo combo and save the...

was typing missed your info :D 2500+ barton or if things are mucho tight duron 1.6 or 1.8. I had a 2800+ before upgrading to the a64-3500+ and it would make a night and day difference vs what you have now. 2500 barton clocked to 2200 mhz (slight OC) + 9700pro would do well &amp...

might save a few $$$ on a 9700pro I am upgrading to a X800 PE and will be selling mine but it rocks for the most part. 9700 pro is not much slower than a 9800pro and you could put the money you save into a faster processor. as far as the ti4200 I can't get Nvidia cards to work with...

if price is all people cared about you could build an entire system for what my CPU costs. I got a good deal before the price drop last week at 469.00 for my 3500+ People can build entire systems for that. point is speed and Raid0 is faster hell a single 5400 rpm hard drive IDE 80GB is...

by your thinking we should all be using 5400 rpm drives since you could make an arguement that 7200 and 10K drives are not worth it. raidO is faster raptor is faster and 7200 rpm drives are faster than 5400 rpm Hard drives the 10K speeds help transfer rates and does load faster and has...

I have been using RAID and I like it. but when you look at the improvements it looks small but take the Raid0 vs single drive scores then look at how a 10,000 WD740GB compares to a 7200 rpm slower drive and the difference is about the same. forget the Raid0 with two 7200 rpm drives get a...

I think my locks on my A8V are not working due to artifacts on the screen and when I go over 225mhz it stops reading the HD correctly and I get corrupted files. also one of my raptors when in raid is dead now from trying to run at a measly 230 mhz FSB. I got plenty of room to OC if...
