Anybody changed heastink from either FOP32, FOB38, Alpha 6045, Taisol Copper Base, or similar class to Thermaltake AX7 ? How much improvement do you get in idle and fullload ? Tell me also your previous fan if you use non-standard fan, and your current fan in AX7. I still have Duron...

The heatsink uses 70mm fan, which is not sold anywhere. I'm a little concerned if the fan dies, and I have to find the replacement. Anyone modifies it with 80mm fan ? How ? Why the hell they use such a funny size anyway !

You may not believe this, but I have revived my Duron 700@1020 at least 3 times. The first one is about 8 months ago when I used copper shim & artic silver, and it cracked my Duron so badly on all four corners. The crack is so bad that you see it ALMOST OVAL. I fought for 3 hours with it...

Need a quick recommendation for Pentium 4 board system with DDR. I'm avoiding Asus for its price right now, so I need better/cheaper options. Currently considering mobo from MSI, Gigabyte, or Abit. I just don't exactly which model. I'm eyeing ABit BD7 for its reasonable price, but I'm not...

I think you're right. Dell is really overpriced. I have decided to take Toshiba instead of Dell. I've compared the price and spec, and the Dell is about $500-600 more expensive compared to Toshiba for similar config. That is really a huge price gap. With $500 difference, I can buy Geforce3...

Thanks. I've seen the full spec. Looks very nice indeed. And it's good for the money too. Now I'm still comparing the Dell Inspiron 4100 which also has very nice configuration, but I think more expensive. If Toshiba is cheaper, then I think I will go with Toshiba. Thanks Sygyzy for the tip...

sygyzy. What processor is that? Could you give me the spec for the following: - processor - harddisk - ram (& expansion) - screen type & size - dvdrom speed Does it officially support WinXP ? I have bad experience with Vaio FX215. It doesn't have full-support for XP....only Win2K. Need...

I intend to buy another laptop. Which one do you recommend ? I'm thinking of getting Toshiba, or Dell. IBM is not in my list because it's too expensive for the same config. And I'm thinking of getting Intel instead of AMD for laptop, because of my bad experience with Sony Vaio FX215 that I...

It is true that the current KT266A chipset will most probably run no sweat at 150fsb, because most people have tried it. But higher than 150fsb, that is still a bet. Not everyone turns out to be successful ! On average, 150fsb is reachable for most people, but it will still be a problem...

I think I should have said it more clearly. Yes, it will still be pin-compatible to socket-A , but do you believe it will be running or supporting 266fsb.....or will that be a 333fsb ? Sure, if it is a 333fsb, it will run fine at 266 as long as the multiplier can be unlocked. Otherwise, there...

I know there is still no info about this, but who believes it will be Socket-A or KT266A compatible ? I want to know what people are thinking about this possibility. Is there any chance to see XP 2200 ?

I don't think you'll find problem running your 200fsb TBird at 266, because my Duron is now even running at 155fsb (310 MHz DDR). The only problem is you will probably get stuck with your aluminium internconnect which limits you to around 1GHz, which means you might have to use lower mulplier.

Got it. Thanks.

My system is dual boot between Win98SE & Win2k in different partition. Now, I want to remove my Win2K, but keep my Win98SE in partition C. I can simply format the Win2k partition, but this will not remove the Win2k from the boot menu in partition C, which is my Win98SE system. Is there any...

I use Ghost to back up my Win98SE system directly to CDR, and it needs 2 disc. The problem is when I restore it from the 2nd CDR, Ghost refuses to continue. It says it can not find the filename on the 2nd disc. When I check the drive list, Ghost does not even list my CDROM drive anymore...
