OH No! RMA TIME! Seems I was premature in thinking I fixed the problem, the computer was again rebooting randomly. I am RMAing the Motherboard today after 10 months of use. Since it will take 4-8 Weeks, my upgrade plan just kicked into high gear... I have replaced my 4...

I am presently using an Orion 485 Watt dual 12V rail power supply. It is powering my Core 2 Duo E4300 system which is over clocked to 2.4GHz. It was the same power supply I used for 2 years in My Athlon 3200+ system. This same Orion 485W power supply sells here in Canada for only $39 Can...

It seems that not only do we have the same motherboard and processor, but our upgrade plans are similar as well. I too will be looking for 2GB of memory, and a better video card, most likely with Component video outputs to connect to a HD TV as well as my computer. I'm thinking a NVidia based...

Hi Budarow, In answer to your question, I am using an HD DVR Box to record TV series and movies to its own internal drive, then when I have time I play the video back and record using my computer's TV card. I am using Ulead DVD MovieFactory 4 and 6 to record and then edit out commercials...

I am interested in getting some good benchmarks, I havent had too much luck with 3DMARK05 or 06, seems they dont like my ancient AGP card... What would you suggest? I am not a gamer, I mainly use my computer to record, edit and burn DVD's. I have been recording lots of tv show, mostly...

Hi all, I had to finally upgrade to a Dual Core system. I was running an Athlon 3200+ Venice CPU and Nvidia Nforce 3MB with DDR400 and Geforce 5200 AGP card. I was on a tight budget, so I considered the options. As Athlon 939 Dual Core processors are about as scarce as hen's teeth, and an...

I have the E4300, I have all voltages running at stock on an ASRock 4CoreDual VSTA motherboard, see below for specs. I am currently running at 266FSB for 2400MHz. Best overclock of any processor I ever had... totally stable... I would start by using default voltages, overclock in stages, I...
