    What are my upgrade options?

    I own a Epox 8K5A2+, 2 sticks of PC2700 Samsung 2.5 CLS, and am currently running an ATI Radeon 9600XT and an XP1700+ OC'ed to 2100. I want to upgrade my processor but am out of touch with all the new cores of processors. Looking at EPOX's website...

    Gotta love them XP1600 AROIA-Y chips!

    I just purchased a 1600+ from newegg and got a AROGA 0212TPMW:( The thing that sucks is that when I placed my order, it specifically said (AGOIA Core). I think I'll just RMA it instead of even trying to OC it. Overclockers.com only has a few crappy entries for this stepping. I also ordered a...

    Abit KT7-RAID and Duron 1.3?

    Well, I took the plunge and instead of getting the Duron 1.3, decided it was time for a substantial upgrade. Ordered a XP1600+ (AGOIA), some arctic silver 3, 256MB samsung PC2700 DDR333, and the EPOX 8K5A2+. Upgraded my CPU warranty for $5 from newegg. Hopefully my current HS/Fan will work with...

    Abit KT7-RAID and Duron 1.3?

    Does it run at 1.3Ghz? I was wondering if it would run at 1.2 as limited by the BIOS. I am also wondering how much of an upgrade this would be from a Duron 600 OC'ed to 950.

    Abit KT7-RAID and Duron 1.3?

    Does anyone know if practically speaking the KT7-RAID will work with the Duron 1.3Ghz? I see on Abit's website that it "officially" only supports up to 1.2 with a new flashed BIOS, but have ran across some dissenting opinion as to whether it will work or not. And on the same note, which would...

    The Overclockerz store is SUCK!!!!

    Of course I put grease on:) I don't even know what model Vantec I have (the box and HS show no model# or anything), but the force required to get the spring on was enormous.

    The Overclockerz store is SUCK!!!!

    Just another post complaining about these guys. Ordered a Duron 600>900, Globalwin FOP32-1 and Abit KT7-RAID from these guys. The FOP32-1 was on backorder so I wasn't able to play with my new toys until a week and a half later when I recieved what I thought was the FOP32-1. What I did recieve...
