I'm planning to overclock an athlon ii x2 240 (2.8 ghz, 14x multi). It supports DDR3-1333(mhz) max. What overclock is possible and what ram will complement it without being overkill? (i'm thinking ddr3-1600 9-9-9 downclocked to 1333-8-8-8 at 2.8 GHz and climb from there)

...I want to unlock the two disabled cores. Does anyone know the success rate for them, or specific batches?
Also what is a good matx mobo for unlocking/overclocking? I'd like an 890GX board (and use the 6gb/s SATA with the next release of Intel SSD) but that chipset dropped support for core...
Hi, how does this build look? I would use it for moderate playing of Flight Simulator X at 1920x1200, hopefully with gfx as high as possible.

Hi, I've got a notebook that is missing its original AC adapter. The original was rated at 16V/ 4.5A/72W. The closest I have is a 13V/4.2A adapter. Assuming the adapter can exceed its rating by 300mA, would the undervoltage be passed the damage threshold?
I was thinking that as IC features shrink down to tens of atoms, will there be a noticeable increase in failures from things such as cosmic rays and electromigration?
Hi, there are often photos of people holding or otherwise touching an exposed wafer. http://regmedia.co.uk/2007/09/19/idf_wafer_1.jpg
Aren't they dust sensitive? are they 1.used/2.usable after being displayed or handled?
What about this image...
Hi,
I have a printer that specifies the use of a 32V 2500mA AC adapter. I plugged a 31.5V 3.17A AC adapter in instead and the printer worked but I unplugged it after 5 seconds. Later I got hold of the required 32V 2500mA adapter and the printer works fine. Is it safe to use the 31.5V 3.17A...
Hi,
I'm planning to build a new system. I sought out that sticky (this one) that describes the relationship between FSB/DDR.
I was happy that the e8400 was the example 'coz that's what I'm getting:
Unfortunately the url to the chart has turned into an ad-farm and The Internet Archive...
Hi, there.
I'm wondering what would be a good micro-ATX LGA-775motherboard.
I want to put a C2D e8400 in it plus a decent video card for gaming and media center duties.
I'm after (in the following order) reliability, good quality, decent performance. After a few hours of searching...

I like my motherboard to be neat, so getting rid of those two legacy buses should free up a bit of real-estate to make better board layouts that reduce pcb layers, and hopefully cost less too.
I...
If a 65nm design was made with 45nm but keeping the 65nm die size, what would be the result of this extra manufacturing 'resolution' and precision?
Putting aside that the transition in process nodes is not a simple copy and paste, and the less profit per wafer, wouldn't the yield be...
Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has any info about the current status of power over eSATA. It had been expected to have been finalized by now (they said in 'H2'), but there has not been any news.
Also, I'm not sure it power over (internal) SATA was also part of the spec. I think it...
Hi all,
I've been waiting over half a year for the prices of the E8400 'wolfdale' cpu to come down and it did, a month ago it was down to AU $200 at the cheapest seller and averaging around AU $220 (comparing prices at www.shopbot.com.au). However, in the past four weeks or so, the price...
