    Which is better for me to get Athlon 64 3400 or the Pentium 4 3.4GHz 800MHz

    I would say that s a pretty good overclock.

    WD HD 160GB So much noise...is it defective?

    You can enable S.M.A.R.T. in bios which will check the hd for problems or use the diagnostics cd the drive came with. If it is still under warrenty your best bet is to return it for a replacement.

    Physically reattaching pins to CPU?

    Hi Killa, I have the same problem with a P4 3ghz. I bought some liquid weld at radio shack, cause I cant solder worth a crap, and afraid of frying the chip. I am missing the 2 outer ones. I though of the wire thing to, but it seems to flimzy, or the other wire is to thick. So I also would like...

    Is there an approved PSU for a Barton 2500+?

    The one your at looking is fine. 450 watt is plenty. Antec or enermax both are great psu's

    question about the sockets

    940 will soon become 939, the 939 will not work in a 940 pin socket...these are the fx-51 or opteron chips while the 754 socket are the normal amd 64's, which will become 939 pin also supporting dual channel.

    RAM Compatibility Question

    In benchmarking yes. To the naked eye maybe, but nothing to get excited over. Yes it is a better overclocker. But if you intend to use both at the same time, you may have some issues, or it will run at the speed of the value ram. You should probably use pc3200 if you do. It will still work.

    RAM Compatibility Question

    Adding the hyperx isnt going to help if you still plan on using the value ram. If you want more ram just buy the same stick or replace the value ram with the hyperx sticks.

    Battery life for Digital Camera

    Yes, turn off the lcd display. My sony camera eats up the battery too. I have a powersaver feature on mine, I am sure this isnt new technology, your camera probably has one to.

    Best Bang for my buck

    The raptor is loud as hell and I would personnaly wait to upgrade. The amd 64 is going to go to 939 pin and support dual channell, then I would definitly get that over a P4.

    Your opinions please.

    Agreed, A waste of money.

    Kingston Memory any good?

    I see zipzoomfly has the price. Its there everyday price, but never the less its still an ok deal. I would probably get the corsair instead. Its a buck cheaper.

    can anybody tell me why

    I think its because 3 reasons. 1. They have no idea what there bidding on and what it would cost new. 2. They have friends bidding and bumping the price. 3. They cant find the board elsewhere.
