SLK 3000B seems like a great buy.
However I wonder if it can be made quiet with the vents on the left side panel.
Anybody been able to make this a quiet case?

Are you suggesting I should overclock the DRAM from the current setting of 266 to 400 while still using the existing PC2100? Would this be safe?
I still don't understand the "memory divider?" Is this something built in to the BIOS? Or is it software I have to download/purchase...
DMLX--
Many thanks. I think I finally got it. I understand now the DDR/DDR2 thing, which was +/- the missing link. Had I understood this a couple of months ago I probably would have bought a DDR2 Mobo. Live and learn.
Fact of the matter, I don't do any "heavy lifting" with this rig so what...
The Mobo is Gigabyte 8S648XP-RZ. These are the Memory Specs from the manual:
*3 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets, supports up to 3GB DRAM (Max)
*Supports DDR400/DDR333/DDR266 DIMM
*Supports up to 2 unbuffered DIMM DDR 400
*Supports up to 3 unbuffered DIMM DDR 333
*Supports only 2.5V DDR SDRAM...
The CPU is an Intel Celeron D 2.66 Ghz--based on the P4 Prescott.
Maybe I'm thick. I don't understand. On the one hand you say the "quad-pumped effective speed" is 536 Mhz. Then you say the PC 2100 runs at 133--the PC 3200 at 200--a difference of 67 not 77 Mhz. Then you mention "PC3200/DDR...
I'm confused by FSB vs. FSB Speed.
CPU-Z says my FSB is 134.0 Mhz. Right below that it says the Bus Speed is 535.9 Mhz.
Currently I have 768 MB of PC 2100RAM. The Mobo will take PC3200 RAM. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to the faster RAM? Or is the FSB too slow to benefit from it?
Thanks
Sorry about the blank post above.
I have an E-MU 0404 sound card connected to a receiver and a serious pair of floor standing audiophile speakers. No computer speakers are even worthy of comparison to this setup.
If you want good sound you need a good sound card a decent receiver and good...
I recently upgraded to a new Mobo GA 8S648FXP-RZ.
I chose this board because it was backward compatible to my P4 @ 1.7Ghz(Willamette)/PC2100 RAM(768MB) and NVidia 4x AGP card. And it offered features I wanted/lacked on my older board--recognition of 250GB HDDs; USB 2.0; SATA; RAID; and...
Hi--
I've a wonderfully stable P4 Willamette @1.7G on a Gigabyte GA-81RX Mobo for almost 4 years now.
The only reason I need to replace it is because I need 250GB HDDs. Gigabyte says this Mobo flashed to latest BIOS will only recognize 160GB. I also want USB 2.0. I know I could do that...
My P4 @1.7 Ghz Willamette is beginning to show its age. The Mobo is Gigabyte GA-81RX. The video card is NVIDIA GeForce 2MX (AGP). The RAM is DDR 266 PC2100--1 x 512MB + 1 x 256 MB = 768MB total.
I'm not into gaming or any intense graphics. Computer is mostly used for music playback through...
