AT?

I dunno, check the 12v + amperage. Mine is @ 28 amps which was one of the best cheap power supplies I could find. If yours is at 14 amps or lower it might be a good time to replace it. See if you can dig up the specs on it

so its still the same ol same ol. 200fsb = 200x16 = 3200 Ok thanks

Alienware, Dell, etc.... Your paying more for the brand name then the actual components in it. I believe alienware won the roundup in October Maximum PC with Falcon Northwest comming in 2nd. But I wouldnt suggest picking up that issue, instead I would buy the issue after that one...

Maybe the Cool & Quite is kicking in because the CPU is too hot and its underclocking itself. I think I read somewhere that the more they overclocked the chip the more it would just underclock itself because of the heat. I could be extremely way off here since it was around 4.am when I read...

Definetly, Im hoping this water/pelt cooling does the trick for a nice performance boost. I went this route instead of buying stuff that I think will soon be replaced because I can transfer 90% of the water and pelt cooling stuff to my next rig. Only time will tell :)

I was wondering how you do the math for the bus speed to find which ram you should be running on an athlon 64. For example Athlon thunderbird 100 bus = sdram pc100 Athlon XP 133 bus = 133x16 = ddr pc2100 Athlon XP 166 bus = 166x16 = ddr pc2600 So how does one figure out the minimum...

Well if you read my first post and see how I prefer Via over Nforce the same applies with ATI and Nvidia. Now Im not saying one is better then the other, it always seems like one always has a faster card then the other, then short time later the other has the faster card. Mostly Nvidia with the...

Yeah I cant even argue price vs. performance on that one. But I do have one argument and that given Intel's history I think the 939 will be around and supported alot longer then the 775. Isnt Intel already trying to work up something to replace the 775 ? Amd did sorta did do the same...

Man I hope so, until then Ive went a little mad with this setup. I dont know how long it will last. Still waiting on some misc parts so no benchmarks yet but heres what i have recently bought out of frustration and what i have on the way. Swiftech Mcw6002 socket A water block with 226...

So I am shopping for a new vid card looking to replace my 9600 pro and was thinking of just going for a modest upgrade in the 9800 pro 256 or the 9800 XT. After checking out some the latest benchmarking results and compairing stats on the cards I bump into the X700 pro Hmmm... whats this...
