Thanks for the great replies! I think I'd rather let someone else install SBS 2003. The question I need answered now is: do I really need a client server network?

I have never setup or installed any server OS. I want to know whether I'll be able to setup Small Business Server 2003 Standard edition by myself or if I should hire an IT guy. My experience consists of building my own desktops, installing XP, and setting up a basic network with router and...

I'm also having problems overclocking on my Epox 9NPA+ using a X2 3800+. I can't get it running stable at 240 FSB, 166 mem div, 4x HT, 10x multiplier. I have a Seasonic S12 380W with dual 12v rails. What is a safe voltage for my X2 3800+?

I overclocked my X2 3800+ to 2400 using these settings: (240 FSB, 4X HT, CPU VID 1.4v, Extra CPU voltage = over VID 6.6%, memory at 166mhz). My cpu temperature was 25C idle and 35-40C load. System temp = 26C. One core failed CPU(FPU) test on S&M and then the computer froze shortly...

Should I try to overclock my X2 3800+ taking into consideration the motherboard and RAM I have? Will I see noticeable gains? Do I need an aftermarket cooler to overclock?

I do have a second hard although not a RAID. I think there was an article on AT a while back that basically concluded that RAID doesn't do much more normal desktop use.

Hacp, maybe you're right. My hard drive might be holding me back a bit.

Even a faster hard drive is not going to be that much of an improvement although it may be more noticeable than a cpu upgrade IMO. My brother has a WD Raptor 74GB in his S939 machine and I wasn't really that impressed. He even complains about the amount of time it takes to load games even...

Yes, I downloaded and installed the driver from AMD's website and the windows xp patch for dual core processors. I'm pretty sure I did it properly.

After seeing all the posts about how smoother my computer would run with an AMD dual core processor, I decided to purchase the X2 3800+ to replace my socket 754 athlon 64 2800+ newcastle. I'm sure the X2 3800+ will encode video faster, but I haven't really noticed that much of a difference...

Does X800XL run CS:Source at 1680x1050 with decent fps? Looking to upgrade because my 9800pro has trouble at that resolution in Source. Does anyone have a similar setup? My system: Athlon 64 2800 (S754) Ati 9800 Pro 1 GB Corsair Value MSI K8N Neo Platinum Antec SLK2650-BQE (Antec 350W PS)
