    A8N-SLI Deluxe and nVRAID Power problem

    Newbie Wanting to Overclock

    So got my A8N-SLI Deluxe tiday with an Athlon64 3000+, now my quick question, should my cpu be reading as a 3200+ when I am running at 2ghz? Or will I just see the frequency and not get the actual 3200+ speed showing for the cpu? I have come from a Barton 3200+ (2500+ running with OCZ at...

    ANyone did OC based on AMD63 3000+ (939) and Asus A8v MB

    I am waiting on delivery of the Asus A8N-SLI and an Athlon64 3000+, I have OCZ PC3200 memory, what can I expect to get out of this cpu? I presently run the OCZ with my Barton 2500+ at 220mhz, (Barton clocked to 2.1ghz) I presume the multiplier is locked on the Athlon64? Is it all down to how...

Has anyone upgraded or replaced a HP cd drive with a generic one? I have seen...

    Barton 3200+ to Athlon 3000+ 939 socket

    My Barton is clocked at 2.2ghz with 200fsb. I am hoping that I get a similar performance boost as when I went from an Athlon 1600 xp to the Barton clocked at it's 1700mhz rating. Patrick

    Barton 3200+ to Athlon 3000+ 939 socket

    Have many times considered a RAID o setup ,, have always just been too nervous of losing the raid and all the data, the way I look at my current setup is that if a drive crashes or fails then I lose some data whereas with RAID 0 I could lose all my data.. make sense? Patrick

    Barton 3200+ to Athlon 3000+ 939 socket

    Well i am currently running a Barton 2500+ clocked at 2.2ghz (FSB 200mhz x 11) and I am thinking of moving to an Athlon 64. Will I see much of an improvement over the current cpu I am using? I am running on an Epox 8RDA3+ and 1 gig of OCZ 3200 memory. I am thinking of a 3000+ Athlon 64 and...

    Wireless between 2 rooms via one wireless router?

    Well the one in the PVR is running XP, so you are talking about running it with ICS? Or a software routing solution? I do have a box I could run Smoothwall or IPCop on, is that easy to setup for a wireless card? Not that up on Linux but I have used both Smoothwall and IPCop before (preferred...

    Power supply dying?

    Yup,, sounds exactly like my problem BUT it seemed to get worse the last few weeks, while working hard drives were vanishing and same with the DVD burner. I have 5 fans, 3 hard drives, dvd burner, floppy and Live drive all on this machine. Funny thing is I have another box with same board and...

    Power supply dying?

    Seems it is the -5v which is the problem, with the Antec it was at -1.27, I replaced the PSU with a new Enermax 430watt noisetaker PSU and that reading is now at -5.38, seems a big difference. Also the Enermax is reading higher with all the other voltages also. The 2.61 seems to be the memory...

    Power supply dying?

    Hi, well today I powered down my box, when I tried to power it back up (cold from power switched off) it refused to boot. Unplugged drives and fans and FINALLY it booted. With it still plugged in I got everything working. I then installed MBM to check voltages and the pic in the link below shows...

    KVM Switch recommendation

    Hi all, I have been reading up on KVM switches and I am wondering if someone with experience using a kvm can point me in the direction of a cheap decent quality 4 port kvm. I have read of some issues with kvm's such as poor refresh rates, ghosting on the screen and also slow mouse response. Can...

    EPOX 8RDA3+ Cold boot problem

    When I boot a machine from cold it gives the error message that the cpu settings are incorrect and have been set to default and to change them in the bios. When I just enter the bios and hit save, everything then works fine? Any ideas why this is happening. It is a Barton 2500+ @1980mhz FSB is...

    Epox EP-4PCA3+ Opinions

    Hi, I am considering the above board for a 2.8c P4 , would like to overclock the cpu, I already have OCZ PC3500 memory and so want to use this with this board. I am presently running a Barton 2500+ @2200mhz on an EPOX 8RDA3+ and have found it a great baord. The attraction of the EP-4PCA3+ is...

    Athlon64 3200+ compared to Barotn 3200+

    Well this is actually not a real upgrade, I am buying the board and cpu for another machine, I have the rest of the hardware lying around that will make it a complete machine. So my thought now is whether to go real cheap and but an Athlon 1800 and overclock it or to buy the Athlon 64. If I...

    Athlon64 3200+ compared to Barotn 3200+

    Hey Markfw900 you seem to own both the Barton 3200+ and the Athlon 64, is there a feeling of more speed? Can you flick through multiple windows fast and multitask better? I know when I moved from an Athlon 1600 xp up to the Barton 2500+ at stock speed it was a lot faster, apps popped up that I...

    Athlon64 3200+ compared to Barotn 3200+

    A 3200+ Athlon 64? I looked at some benches on Toms Hardware and it looked like the 64 blew away the Barton, especially in memory bandwidth.

    Athlon64 3200+ compared to Barotn 3200+

    Hi, just wondering if anyone has any views on how much of a speed difference there would be between an Athlon64 and a Barton 3200+ ? I currently have a Barton 2500+ clocked up to a 3200+ with a 400 fsb and I am getting a new cpu and board for another machine and so I am wondering if the extra...

    Any benchmarks out there with a 2.4ghz barton?

    What way have you it running? High memory speed? Or high multiplier? I have a Barton 2500+ but to date have not gotten it stable past 2200mhz, Prime 95 always craps out after that. I have OCZ PC3500 memory in it, tempted to just leave it running with 1.5gig of memory which includes a slower OCZ...

    EPOX 8RDA3+ no LAN sockets??

    Hi, just received an Epox 8RDA3+ Retail Motherboard and in the manual it says the Network is "optional" even though the onboard chips are detected etc, How can this be used? Am I missing an adaptor? My 8RDA+ had LAN as standard and this board is advertised as having Dual LAN , so what is the...

    P4 Memory Bandwidth

    Think I am gonna stick with my overclocked Barton 2500+ , had already ordered 3500 memory (2 sticks) and an Epox 8RDA3+ board which I am swapping with my existing 8RDA+ board into another machine. So with all memory slots filled I will have some extra memory at the expense of Dual channel, which...

    P4 Memory Bandwidth

    Are they P4 800 mhz FSB? I would think the only chip would be the Athlon 64 which at present is VERY expensive.
