Not that I'm doing it yet (I just got a P4PE w/ 2.5 gig processor - I couldn't see spending $350 more for the 3.0 gig chip), but I'm assuming upgrading later will require an OS re-install to detect the hyperthreading capable CPU, or do you think XP will be smart enough to detect it after it's...

Okay, so I'm reading the manual, and it says I can't change the bios settings for CPU speed unless it's set for jumperfree mode. Either I'm missing something, or the manual doesn't tell you HOW to get it in jumperfree mode. I don't see any jumpers on the diagrams for it, either. Any help...

I recently purchased an MSI Ti4600 AGP card... I noticed when booting up the system the video card spits out some info to the screen, to the effect of this (i haven't bothered writing it down yet, it goes too fast, but you'll get the idea): NV28 (I think) engineering release not for production...

hmm... I'm beginning to wonder if this is a power issue... is there an easy way to check that (probably off topic for this forum)? I could try just starting up with hard drives, CD, internal zip 100 reader all disconnected, and come into BIOS screens... let it sit for a while and see if it...

I have an abit bx6-v2 motherboard. The manual states that it "...supports AGP 1x and 2x mode (Sideband) 3.3V device". The ATI site says the 7500 is an AGP 2x/4x device. Should this card work in this motherboard? I can get a display, and usually it'll boot up into windows, but after a while...

Is your geforce 2 card an AGP card, or PCI? I'm assuming AGP, but want to double check. Just for my info, can you tell me the card name/manufacturer? I'd like to be able to upgrade the video on this machine to at least a geforce 2 level if possible, and if you have a card that'll work...

I have an older abit bx6 v2 system that I wanted to put a geforce2 mx400 card (PCI) in (it currently has a TNT2 AGP card). Unfortunately, the BX6-2 won't even POST with the card in. Anyone know what the PCI version is for this motherboard? I couldn't find anything in my manual, and abit docs...
