I'm not sure of the voltage, but I did check with the manufacturer and all the specs are the same its just that the new set is made in the us and the old was in japan. But, after a defrag, and cleanup it seems to have no problem on bootup

Nope, both RAM were installed at the sametime, I used compressed air to clean out the inside of the tower and I made sure that the RAM was in to were I heard the clicks of the clamps. Within the last week the computer has been ok. I ran a cleanup, defrag, adaware, spybot and errornuker. Things...

I wanted to know if there is a way in the system bios to increase the amount of memory being used by the system. I'm using 4 1gb sticks of Geil PC3200 memory and I believe there was a way to adjust either the Latency, Voltage or Timing. Any help will do thanks

I just recently installed new memory which gives me a total of 1gb PC3200 x4, and I notice now when I start my pc it gives me a blue screen (which I can read fast enough) and then has to reboot. Is this caused from my memory, because I noticed the problem started a few days after the install...

The only thing is L2 Cache 512kb on the Athlon and the Opteron L2 Cache is 1mb. how much of a difference can there be

Thats what I thought. I was originally looking at the Athlon X2 4200 but I was told about the Opterons. I was also told that I have to reset the cmos, change the bios, then do a repair of the os and reinstall some of my system software. It seemed like it wasn't necessary for something like a cpu...

You prefer the Athlon 64 X2 over the Opteron 165,170 or the 180?How hard is it to upgrade the cpu? Do I have to reinstall all my software and os again?

I'm looking into upgrading my cpu and I want to know about updating my mobo bios. Currently its 1014 and I am running an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Socket 939 CPU. Is there any other items or processes I need to take care of before I purchase and install the new chip. I am looking into getting...
