    Constant 8-27% cpu usage at idle *confused*

    Some Nvidia 6800 video cards have been causing DPC problems. If this is your video card try swapping it out and see if the problem goes away.

    could it be my Venice???

    Try using only one stick of ram in the orange slot nearest to the edge of the board. Also make sure all four power connectors are hooked up. My board was also very picky about the ram with the old bios, wouldn't boot at all with my TCCD.

    couple questions about Oc'ing a DFI nforce4 Ultra-d board

    With my Mushkin 4400 ram my board wouldn't evan boot into windows. After setting the ram up with the settings at DFI-Street forums I'm running 9x285 with the ram running 1:1. I did need to put a fan on the ram due to the close placement of the cpu heatsink. Is that TCCD ram? I could post...

    Is this 3dMark2001se score right or is something wrong?

    That score seems low to me. I scored 18394 with a Athlon moble 2500+ @ 2550 and my 9800 Pro at 400 core and 350 memory. I would try locating a driver removal tool and reinstalling your video driver if you havn't done that yet.

    Will moblile 2500 work with asus a7v333 (266 only!!)

    vortex- I do use the 1016 bios and ran vcore at 1.8V with my desktop barton at 2200mhz on my a7v333. That was with water cooling. My desktop barton was an unlocked week 3-30 and never overclocked very well. My old t-bred 2100 would run at 2340mhz stable at the same vcore and also would let me...

    Will moblile 2500 work with asus a7v333 (266 only!!)

    The a7v333 will run a desktop barton without a problem if the bios is updated to the latest version. I ran mine this way (ver 1.04) for 6 months (12.5x176) for 2200 mhz. Check out the Asus forums at AMDMB.com if you have doubts. If the desktop bartons work then mobile bartons should be fine...

    OC guidlines for Athlon 2400 Mobile

    If I remember correctly nForce 2 boards don't provide CPU internal diode temps. Try running AIDA32. It does a good job of labeling which temp is which.

    It seems mobile 2600's are better than the others

    My week 7 mobile 2500+ is prime stable at 2600MHz (13x200) at 1.8v. It may have a little more speed left but not to sure about raising v-core. Finally got a good overclocker !!

    Mobile Barton 2500+

    Just purchased a Barton 2500+moble from newegg (IQYHA 0407) and been running prime95 stable at 2465MHZ on a Abit NF7-S for the last 8 hours with a stock AMD heatsink at 1.7V. Going to put it in my water cooled case soon to see what it can really do! Can't see how you can go wrong with these...

    Athlon XP 2800+ Core speed + Overclocking?

    Not sure what you mean by that. A locked Barton 2800+ @ 2.43GHZ would be running on a 195FSB. Should work if you got a good chip and decent cooling.

    Anyone playing to upgrade to a CRT instead of LCD

    I also have the Microtek 18 inch LCD but reverted back to my old KDS 19 inch (Trinitron) CRT due to ghosting. I must say for everything but gaming the LCD is much better.

    150$ budget, what should i get?

    If you could stretch your budget just a little then Newegg has the Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro for $214. If you can wait a while there may be better buys this spring when the new round of video cards come out.

    OCing 2500+ on an abit KX7-333

    Your KX7-333 uses the Via KT333 chipset which has no 1/6 divider so your AGP & PCI will be running way out of spec and hard drive corruption may happen at high FSB. My kt333 board the Asus A7V333 won't run stable above 184FSB and won't post above 192FSB. If your Barton is locked this could...

    How high have you o/c-ed your 9800 NP?

    Picked up 9800 np today at cc Sumsung 2.8 @ 405/355 with no artifacts What would be the advantage of flashing to 9800 Pro over just overclocking the 9800 np ?

    What the heck is a Thorton model 10?? (AMD XPs)

    Thorton is the Barton core with 256kB of L2 cache disabled. Should run about the same as a T-Bred.
