    Dual Monitor Solution

    I was hoping someone could give me some feedback because I have never done a dual monitor setup. I'm getting rid of my CRT monitor and going with 2 LCD's. Basically, what I want on top of that is to somehow make one of the monitors be able to toggle between Microsoft Windows and cable TV...

    Memory dumps with my new Athlon 4200+ X2

The installation of windows starts off fine at the blue screen but when that finishes and the computer restarts to the windows interface, it most of the...

    Can a processor become more power hungry?

    I was running completely stable at 9.5x275=2612.5 at 1.6 volts. This was pretty high voltage for my liking so I tried to tone it back down after a couple weeks and have not been able to get my previous stable 10x250 anymore unless I use a huge amount of power, same with 10x240. I have been...

    Trying to find a decent projector at a reasonable price for my office.

    The company I work for puts on real estate investing seminars from time to time and borrows a projector to show the PowerPoint presentation. They would like to pick one up and asked me to do some research. This thing doesn't have to be the top of the line but something decent that won't freeze...

    Some tell me what I can do with my

    I have managed to overclock the hell out of my cpu from 2.0ghz to 2.61ghz and its running stable. My graphics card is obviously the bottleneck of my system now. What is the best way to look into overclocking this? If you have had experience with this graphics board could you give me...

    Becoming a little frustrated

    What causes a chip to max out? I see these guys with adequate cooling pushing their chips to 5ghz and above. My chip tops out at about 2.66 and I am sure thats not even stable really. I have a 530wt psu, great ram which has passed memtest86 v3.2 and a zalman 7000 that keeps my cpu at a nice...

    OC Support Please

    I got my system and overclocked it to 10x250 no problem. It would stay stable for as long as I kept it on. (sometimes a couple days at a time) I noticed thought that the heat was a little too high for my liking. It idled around 42-44 and full load at about 48-52 so I put it back down to it's...

    Which would be faster?

    Does it make a difference... AMD 64 3200+ Winchester 939 1.) 8 x 275 (2.5-4-4-8 1t) 2.) 10 x 220 (2-2-2-8 1t) The end product is still the same, 2.2ghz. But does running the memory at ddr550 instead of 440 make a difference? Please discuss.

    When I installed the Zalman cooler on the cpu I used a very thin coat of arctic silver 5 on the entire processor. Its not a crude install - The coat is very thin and even over the processor. Then after the install I talk to my friend who says I should have only used a little bb sized drop and...

    Any need to be worried?

    My 3200+ winchester used to idle at 35 on stock cooling at native speeds of 2.0 at 1.4volts. Now I oc'd to 10x250 at 1.5volts and it idles between 40-42 and when playing intensive games goes up to about 45C. No need to worry or should I be looking for a new heatsink?

    amd64 3200+ msi k8n neo2 1gb corsair4400C25

    Would someone who has a similar system walk me through settings. I am running the memory in dual channel at ddr440 but its rated to run at 2-3-3-8 at ddr533. Whenever I try to push the system to higher limits, my comp freezes at the boot screen. I know the memory runs stable at 2.75 but I am...
