Can't I just disable the page file? (swapfile) ? I have 256mb ram.. do I really need to use my HDD? Also, is there a way to not have to login on XP? I hate the NT-style login. I'm the only one who uses this machine. =) -P

I just installed WinXP Professional on my P4 and I keep having this 1 minor issue: When I was using the welcome screen logon, it would hang right at the blue welcome screen and would never show the users. When I switched to the NT-style login, it worked better, but after logging in I get a...

What would you say a "good" temperature range is for a P4 being slightly overclocked. Just as a mild experiment I bumped my 1.6a up to 1.7 Ghz and my CPU temp is 120F with Seti@Home running. What temperature should I never exceed? I do not have any advanced cooling in my case, so I'm most...

I just put my first Socket 478 P4 together today and I was amazed to see that Intel actually includes a notice in their retail box saying that their fan assembly will warp the motherboard. Installation was very touchy. I heard that plastic clicking noise as I flipped the fan levers down. It...

I'm curious to know the same information for my P4 1.6a - Or if I should even bother to overclock it..

Is 300W too low nowadays?

It looks like all my voltage and bus speeds are controlled by either BIOS or dip-switch.. is there any physical modification I need to make to the P4 before I can overclock? -P

What are your opinions on Gainward products? Do use Gainward video cards? Do you like them? I was thinking about buying a Gainward GeForce2 Ti450 64mb DDR video card and I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with that card.. -P

Hi, I am relatively new to overclocking, so forgive the newbie nature of this question: I just bought a P4 1.6A running on an Epox 4T2A3 (i850 chipset) using 256mb of PC800 RDRAM.. Geforce2 video, etc... I'm not totally sure I want to overclock since the performance seems ok, but I was just...
