Hi, I just upgraded my computer memory from 2gb to 4gb with identical memory modules (OCZ PC2 8500). My Windows Vista 64-bit has no problem recognizing them all, and my stress test plus memtest86 report No error from it. However, I realize that the memory usage (percentage) displayed in vista...

This link has better instruction for Prime95 test on dual-core. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16445

I'm a first-time overclocker (newbie). I got this 4400+ (Toledo) baby overclocked to 2.73ghz @ 1.46-1.49 volts. This is done at 260 FSB x 10.5 with the Thermaltake Big Typhoon (39* idle, 54* full-load). It passed Prime95 for 17 hours. I can get it up to 2.8ghz too, but then the CPU would run at...

Hi, I'll make it brief & quick. I tried to overclock my X2 4400+ Toledo to 260Mhz x10.5 and it's running smooth. However, I figured out that my (2gig) Kingston 400 DDR (pc3200) is detected to be running at 133Mhz when I set it to "Auto" configuration. I tried to force it to 200Mhz (I assume...

sorry, my bad. I didn't create two folders, I created two shortcuts in one folder instead....hopefully it won't appear errors again.

Hi...I'm testing my X2 4400+ using Super Pi with the instruction shown in sticky - run two instances with option 32M for each. After a minute it appears an error message "NOT CONVERGENT IN SQR05". Can someone tell me what does this mean, and how can I correct the problem? Thanks

Hey !!! Thanks a lot, guys !!! Sorry for my wordings earlier, just trying to make you guys mad so that I would get some good tips. hehe, It works!! Since I already made a big mistake with the items I bought to build my computer (CPU, mobo, memory), I just had to ask u guys before buying this...

So you guys just lurking around trying to benefit from my post in hope of finding a good deal from the Expert too?

Wait...so what about the Hard Drive? Any suggestion? Last time I picked up a thread somewhere that linked to a 300Gig Seagate for less than $200. Now I can't find it no more :(

Thanks for coming in. I need your suggestion for 2 hardware purchases and a cheap speaker set. Would these be reasonable to buy? Speaker < $50: Cyber Acoustics CA3550RB 68 watts 2.1 Black Speaker - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836150044 DVD Burner < $30...

I know...that's why I feel like shiet now after a couple days of research & reading people's comment. I only saved $100 by getting X2 2.2 Gig instead of buying a Core 2 Duo. And on the other end I spent another $116 for a second "1gig" memory, doesn't make sense at all when ask myself that...

...Edited to provide better summary for you guys to help me out. Thanks... One thing that I'm concerning now is the Memory brand drifference. Will the Crucial and Kingston work together fine? I checked the CL value and they both are "2.0" . However, the Crucial voltage is at 2.8 while the...

Well if I put the Crucial 1 Gig. (512x2) into the A1 and B1 banks, wouldn't that run in dual-mode itself? Or would it adjust to run along with the single Kingston piece on the third bank? If I purchase another identical Kingston (1gig), and install it on the last memory slot. Will the four...

Thanks for coming in. This is my first time building a computer for myself. I wonder if the components I bought are compatible to each other. Would anyone be generous enough to confirm this? By the way...I have an existing Antec 350Watts Power Supply. Is it sufficient enough to support the...
