Yeah the best I can do at 1.525 is 242Mhz, which isn't bad. If I decided to be content with that, there's plenty of RAM that will do 1:1. Maybe that's just what I should shoot for with this system.

A couple questions for the experts: - I've got a P4 2.8E that I've clocked up to 3.5Ghz, but to do that I have to feed it 1.6 volts. Temps peak at 70 deg. with stock HSF. Is that dangerous? What temp/voltage is safe? - I'm buying 1GB RAM for the board (Gigabyte GA-8KNXP). Is it worth...

I know, the Patriot XBL is good stuff also, but Outpost doesn't have any Patriot modules in stock.

Yeah I would love to try the Patriot memory, but my 2.8E will do 3.5Ghz, so I'm looking for memory that will do 250FSB. I don't believe I've seen anyone get the Patriot to go that high, but please tell me if I'm wrong. The $45 difference between the Patriot and the Kingston HyperX seems like...

Kingston HyperX PC3200 Low-Latency got high marks in Anandtech's recent roundup. MWave.com sells a 1GB kit (2x512) for $267 right now, then they also have a $45 exclusive rebate which makes it $222, a pretty good deal if you ask me. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger myself.

Not sure, I am at work and the board is at home. The guy who sold it to me said he did not clear the BIOS before he sent it to me, so it probably is in the normal position. But I will check the position and try clearing the BIOS. I doubt if the case is shorting the motherboard since I just...

I guess I could try that, although all I have installed is the CPU/HS/Fan, RAM and AGP video. I'm not sure how removing it from the case will change anything.

I just bought a Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard along with 2x512MB Mushkin PC3200 RAM and a P4 2.8/800 Prescott. I purchased it all complete from another ATer who had been running it with no problems. Last night I received the items and installed them in my system, but I can't get the motherboard...

The B revision is available in Asia and Europe but it hasn't been released in the USA yet. The only difference between A and B revisions is that the B rev has a slightly larger knob on the fan speed adjuster in response to user feedback. Functionally they are identical.

Let this be a lesson also...why would you have machines in a corporate setting configured to receive updated from Windows Update? Block users from receiving automatic updates (either firewall or registry setting) and deploy updates via SUS or SMS.

FYI the version sold at HSN is not the same version sold directly from Weider or other retailers. From what I understand, it's missing the preacher curl pad and some other features.

If the CDRW was on the same IDE cable as the hard drive, you might have a conflict with the master/slave settings. It would be ususual for the CDRW to be set as master and the hard drive as slave, but it is possible. In that scenario, you would get exactly what you're describing. Make sure...
