orion, Thanks for the warning; I will be careful since I am using stock cooling. I'm thinking about getting the Zalman but I'd like to know if it's much louder than stock fan - my ears still ringing from the Vantek Tornado. heheh Anyway, is my system score decent or should it be higher? I...

porkbun, Thanks for your step by step guide. That's exactly the kind of help I needed and I appreciate it. I see you have the same ram as I do and you were able to get your cpu to clock at 3.6! WOW!!!! Yes, I use 3:2 timing to get my cpu to 3.0ghz. But my on board audio stopped working at...

Can someone help me set my BIOS for max performance, please? IS7 P4 2.4C (Malay) 2x512 GEIL DDR RAM PC-3200 Value 400MHz Ultra- CAS 2.5, 2T GF4 Ti4600 WD 80 Special Edition I got the CPU to run at 3.0 by raising ext clock freq @ 250/70/35 with N/B Strap = PSB 800. GAT on auto My 3DMark 2001...

Well, I didn't know it was going to be so much fun and easy and... ;) Anyway, it's back to default 2.4 because at 3.1, the onboard sound stopped working.

Ok, so through trial and error and couple of no boot, I managed to overclock it to 3.1GHz. The 3DMark 2001 score at that speed is 13786. I think that is kind of low isn't it? I read people getting 20000 or so with their system. Perhaps it's time for a radeon 9800? ;) Anyway, my first Intel...

Ok, I got my system up and running, and I just did a 3DMark 2001SE and I got a score of over 12000! That's a good thing, right? :) Now, my question is, how do I overclock this thing? IS7 P4 2.4C 2*512mb Geil Value 3200 GF4 Ti4600 WD 80gb Special Edition TB Sata Cruz (I love this card!)

Thanks. This is not the first time I've built a computer however, I've never, ever built an Intel system before!. heh So I converted to the dark side...:D What I need is the bios setup from other users to get the best performance/stability. Also, I know for VIA , after windows installed, you...

Hi, I just received these: Abit IS7, P4 2.4C (malay), GEIL DDR RAM 512MB PC-3200 Value 400MHz Ultra- CAS 2.5, 2T, and Western Digital 80 gig 7200 special edition. Can someone give me a step by step installation, and which BIOS to install? I am more concerned about stability than speed, btw. I'm...

After reading this site and sharky for couple of months and for the first time in many years, I am building an Intel system: IS7 + P4 2.4C + GEIL 512MB PC-3200 Value. Just got them from newegg today. I am waiting for the fan and HD to come then I will get to work. :)
