    3 GB of memory in notebook

    Does it matter which slot (top or bottom) you put the memory? By the way how does the 2 processor acces the Ram since they are not equal amounts. The Toshiba has an easy memory opening.

    3 GB of memory in notebook

    .I recently bought a Toshiba A200 notebook (vista home premium 32 with 2 GB PH PC2-5300 DDR2 ram running a T-7250 Intel duo centrino processor. It has a Radeon 2650 M video card 256MB. I do no plan to run anything more than stately games on it. Is it worth getting more Ram? I have seen...

    Overclocking on a 845 G motherboard

    I plan to buy a new computer 6 months after the next windows come out. In the mean time I am considering installing a new CPU on a 3.5 year old machine. I have 1.6 Intel GHZ running currently at 2.4 GHZ. The Asus motherboard is capable of 200 FSB how do the 133 FSB Intel 478 sockets overclock?

    For Overclock P4 1600 a is it better to turn off.

    I am running a P4 1600 a at 2400 MHZ is it better to keep the machine on constantly and let power management reduce setting or turn off machine. Turning off and on is not usually a good thing for CPU.

    The Official i845E, i845G, and i850E Motherboard Thread. All Your Comments and Questions are Welcome Here. :)

    The MSI 845 G board has no information on bios adjustment of fsb/mem/agp/pci divider. Are these speed fixed. How does the fuzzy logic 4 works (a window based overclocking function).

    MSI G845 E overclocking ability

    I read the MSI manual no mention of divider are their FSB/PCI/AGP/MEM divider or does the board fix the rate automatically. Can this board overclock a 1.6 A CPU to 2.2 G or more.

    Best DDR motherboard if you plan to overclock a 1.6a ro 533 fsb

    My clone shop is slow in putting together a PIV 1600 MHz A that I plan to push up to a 533mHz bus, due to delay in delivering a Leadteak GeoforceTI4400 video card. I can still change the motherboard by tomorrow what is better motherboard MSI 845G MAX 2, MSI 645 DMX Max2, Asus P4b533vml. The MSI...

    Would AMDcpu be even better if Intel hadn't messed up so badly

    Intel is talking about coming up with a 486/64 bit solution after spending 7 year and billions in R&D on the IA-64 solutions, where they took a good HP solution and seemed to messed it up. Joining the list of the following dubious Intel accomplishment, the 820 chipset, PIII 1133 MHz, the poor...

    Would AMDcpu be even better if Intel hadn't messed up so badly

    Intel 4th quaters profits are down 77% from last year. If you used different accounting rules they profitability may be reduced further. Intel is also reducing its capital investment.

    Would AMDcpu be even better if Intel hadn't messed up so badly

    It also looks like that there will be no socket A with 333 MHz bus so buying a KT 266a chipset motherboard will have a decent CPU upgradability path (go from XP 1800 to XP 2600 or 2800). Intel chipset motherboard will be useless for P4 in 3-month times. SIS 645 may work with 133/533 speed P4 but...

    Would AMDcpu be even better if Intel hadn't messed up so badly

    Remember the first 3/4 of year 2000 when AMD processor speed almost doubled. Since then, the main Intel product (pre-Northwood Pentium 4) were so inferior, it appears to me that AMD has slowed it speed of development. What are other people opinion and are we about to see a banner year for AMD...

    Performance Hit for using on board sound card

    Has anybody looked at the performance hit ( % of CPU utilized) of using an onboard sound card like in Soyo Dragon or Asus a7v-266-e in game play versus running a SB live 5.1. There is one good effect of on-board sound card and lan cards you do not have to use any PCI slots better stability...

    What motherboard will support XP2500 or 2000 mHz CPU

    Thanks for info Frosty. I believe the change in micron size and added memory will not effect compatibility as longs as socket A is kept. The Pentium Northwood runs on same motherboard as the Willamette Pentium 4 of course Intel going to 133/533 MHz bus will make Intel 850 chipset obsolete. SIS...

    What motherboard will support XP2500 or 2000 mHz CPU

    They should be using a socket A connector, but my question is that none of the current motherboards support over 2000 mHz at 133/266 Fsb if there maxium multipler is 15 or less. Tom in his anlaysis of Pentium versus Altlon commented on needing new motherboards for Pentium, The current Athlon...

    Does your Soyo Dragon Plus cause CPU to run hot

    Most online sources (Tom's hardware, Socket A, Linux, Hot Hardware and The Tech Report) have rated the Soyo Dragon plus as the best KT 266a motherboard.
