I got two of these boards the other day. I also got 2 1.2ghz 266 athlons Fan would just sit there trying to start, but never would. I had to shut the system down before it overheated. Tried the second athlon with the same result. Had some spare fans around and plugged them in and they...

The phone number for KBkids is 303-256-7849 Ask for Greg. See ya! Larry

We bought one of these for 39.99 Got it Friday afternoon. We took it out of the box to wrap Sunday afternoon (4 P.M.) It said on the box that YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR OWN BATTERY PACK AND RECHARGER! What a bummer! After 45 minutes on KBkids phone ( now 4:45) they siad Yep! it says it comes with...

Went back to Best Buy, where Sunday they had them for $199, then you use the rebate to get it for $149, and the price was back up to $249. I asked if my raincheck that stated $199 ($149 after rebate) was still going to be good. The salesman said "I guess so." I asked why the price...

Here in Little Rock, AR, the Best Buy b&ms had the IIIxe's for $199.97 BEFORE the rebate. They sold out rapidly.. I had to get two rain checks! Larry

Me too! I got a 2200, but no coupon. Can anyone help? Thanks, Larry

I can't even play Thief without the system locking up after 15 minutes. Should I up the voltage to the cpu? Would this help stabilize the system. The mx video card is at default, as it is truly not overclockable. I tried and it just locks up. Can't even get thru any benchmarks except at...

I can't even overclock my MX AT ALL without lockups. I have heat sinks on the ram and it made no difference. OH Well, It is still pretty good. Larry

Incredible! Thanks DaYooper! I went from 51C running 850 (600@100X8.5) to 45C 950! (600@100X9.5). Just incredible! The power! Did try to go higher, but don't have enough volts (max volts right now) Larry

Redid Pencil one more time, made sure cpu was securely in socket, tightened spring clip holding fan to cpu, eureka! Only, it still averages 47C at 850. (But it does work, phewwwww!) Larry

Well, Bad news. I left it on 850, which I have done before, for a few hours. I came back home, shut it down from windows and it won't even boot now. Not sure what to do now. Went ahead and removed all the l1 pencil marks and tried to bot, still nothing. It is as if I don't have a cpu in...

When I could measure it, using hardware monitor, never went over 52C. I have the temperature probe that I have placed near the core, wedged under the hs, but not between the core and hs. It measures about 4.5C less than the hardware monitor. I have noticed that the heat is pretty high (57C)...

I run 600 Duron @ 850 with no problems.(1.70 volts) When I try to go to 900, I have to up volts all the way to 1.85 and it works, but heat goes up. Getting a new Taisol any day now. I have tried 950 and 1000, but the system boots as a 600. Think I should redo the pencil trick. Plan on going...

How'd you turn ACPI off? Larry
