What happens if you place two fans at each end of a tube (maximum length about 20 cms). One of the fans has an airflow of f.ex. 35 CFM and the other has an airflow of 25 CFM. What happens with the total air flow? Will the 25CFM fan be superfluous? Will the 25CFM fan even slow down the 35CFM? Or...

As far as I know, the IDE controller is within the 735 chipset. It's kinda an overall chipset. That's also why there's only one IC on the board (major IC that is). Another thing.... I've just checked the defragmentation of my drives. One of them had a file fragmentation of 85%!!! And that was...

But I've tested with PCMark on two almost identical computers... BOTH with K7S5A mobos and the excact same HDD's.... Do you still think I can't trust PCMark??? Only difference betweem the two computers is that my cpu is slightly faster, and there is a geforce2 on my comp. and a geforce4 on the...

edit... yeah :D When I say ½ or 1/3 I'm comparing it to my friends system. His is identical to mine. Same mobo and HDD (even drivers as they are the standard ones). I don't know if the 80 pin cable will solve my speed problem... I already have an 80 pin cable plugged on my IBM drive... it's...

Never mind the smiley - it was supposed to be ( C: ) indicating it's the primary drive with windows... minor error.... Nimbus

First of all.... forgot to mention my system, it's a K7S5A mobo. How do I know what mode my HDD should run in? And how do I set it? I've by the way moved my WD to the secondary bus so it's now: IBM (C:) and CD-rom on primary (80 pin) with the IBM as master WD on secondary (40) as master USED...

Hi, I have an IBM DTLA 307030 30GB HDD and a Western Digital 20GB (a lot like the IBM). The IBM, however, runs much much sower than the WD. About 1/3 to half speed compared to the WD. My friend has the same IBM HDD in 45GB, and the exact same motherboard, and his run the same speed as my WD -...

In theory asyn should be best. However you should be prepared for instability.... some mobos don't like running asyn. I've had two mobos that wouldn't run asyn and one that would. Regards, Nimbus

Jeg brugte edbpriser.dk så der kan godt være fejl ;) Danish - ain't that something you eat? I'm supprised that the prices are higher in Canada.... Normally everything is expensive in Denmark. Regards, Nimbus

WOW..... huh huh huh huh yeah.... WOW huh huh huh huh huh yeah..... WOOW huh huh huh huh huh ..... yeah!! (Beavis And Butthead). Nice guide :D

I've always wondered how big differences in prices there are between countries... In Denmark the prices for the following CPU's are: AMD Palo. 2200+ (1667 MHz).........: 100$ AMD TBred. 2700+ (2167 MHz).......: 431$ AMD TBred. 2800+ (2233 MHz).......: 566$ Intel Celeron 2200 MHz...

You could also do as I: Order a palo 2000+ and get a TBred 2000+ :D I have no idea why they gave me a TBred instead but I know that the TBred 2000+ originally costs about 38.5$ more :D Regards, Nimbus

I have actually tried to OC a little - right now it runs 1835MHz. I don't think I will keep it that way though - my CPU cooler sucks, that's the reason for the high temps. The case is open at the moment - 49-50 C idle. Unless.... I've thought about using a plastic hose to suck cool air (from...

No I didn't see anything when I mounted it (except the "2000")... My intention was to make a scan of the cpu... but I forgot (been having a rather confusing day so my brain is worn out....) Easier to OC.... hmmm I read an acticle on toms hardware and they couldn't OC the TBred as much as the...

The stepping is what I get in wincpuid and from "set" in command prompt.
