I think I'll bring the speed down now that I've heard your story, Duvie. Thanks for the advice.

Nate420, I'm not using any usb devices at the moment but I will later for my digicam... As of now, I only installed a nic card and GF3 and using the onboard sound. To run stable at 2.4, I had to push the vcore to 1.75 and that's when the problem began. By turning off the HALT ON in BIOS the...

I have a D-link nic that's about 2 years old and it's working fine in my rig...1.6A @ 2.4, p4b266.

I'm attempting to oc my 1.6a to 2.4 ghz at 1.75vcore, however, during startup the computer stops starting up. The post test indicates a hardware error but I'm able to continue boot up by pressing F1. To alleviate these "stops", I went into the BIOS and disabled the Halt On command. The...

I just bought a Leadtek Geforce3 non-Ti that is overclocked using the bios edit. Is the heatsink/fan that came with card sufficient to cool the card? I attached an 80mm fan on top but now it blocks two pci slots. I would prefer to be able to keep the two slots. I know there are alternatives...

KenAF, If I just used the thermalpad instead of Arctic Silver, will I still be able to achieve 2.4+ with the 1.6A? The reason I ask is because I have zero experience with removing the pad with whatever chemicals and then lapping the cpu. Also, if I wait later for another "stepping", how does...

I'm seeing a lot of success with the 1.6A chip, but I would like to know if people are having similar success with the 1.8A. Is getting 2.4 (133 fsb) with increased voltage a sure thing. How high does the voltage have to be to have stability if I was to use an Asus P4B266 mobo? Has anyone...

thanks for the info. I'll give the onboard sound a shot.

How good is the onboard sound found on the KT266a boards? Is it on par with SB Live? Is it worth just using that instead of installing a sound card?
