    HS/F clips for FIC VG61 Ice Cube

    I got this HS/F with a barebones P4 VG61 Ice Cube but the clips were missing. The heatsink has two side ledges so it appears that the clips should be a simple affair that just attaches to the standard P4 mobo bracket by clamping over the ledges. FIC no longer even has this barebones in their...

    SKT 478 P4 temps question

    I have an older very cramped flex-atx shuttle box with a heatpipe type hsf setup. I recently replaced the 2.53Ghz P4 with a 3.06Ghz/512k/533fsb HT P4 cpu, and noticed that at idle the bios shows mid-to-upper 40C temps and under load (one core thread gets up to around 80-90% and the other to...

    Choice between two older P4 skt478 mobos

    If you had a choice between using this mobo (P4B-MX) that supports 3x512MB PC133 SDRAM memory and has an AGP 4x slot (no onboard video), or this mobo (MS-6577 v4.1) that handles 2x1GB of PC266/333 DDR1 memory (only has onboard video--no AGP slot at all) which would you use? I have both boards...

    Question about OLD SDRAM memory

    I recently inherited an HP computer with a P4B-MX board that uses up to 3x1GB 168-pin SDRAM. It had one 256mb stick of memory, labeled as HP brand 1818-1851. When I tried to add an additional 256mb stick of SDRAM I had, it wouldn't play nice with it. What I did notice was that the HP stick is...

    RDRAM help

    Yeah, I know this is ancient tech but I'm troubleshooting a friends' Dell Dimension 8200 (she is too poor to get a new computer so I'm upgrading what I can for her for free) and I have found that it uses RDRAM. It currently has 256MB (2x128MB) and considering that WinXP needs at least that much...

    Mobo/CPU compatibility?

    I have an older Shuttle box with an FS-51v2 mobo. According to Shuttles' spec page on this box, it supports up to 3.06Ghz/533/512 socket 478 P4 Northwood cpus. In looking up the specs on Intel's processor finder page, I see that there is also a Mobile Pentium 4 cpu with the same specs available...

    Howzabout this budget build?

    Well, money is really tight and lately so are the things I can still do with my old OC'd ASUS A7N8XDx2.0 and 2800+ Barton. I don't do a lot of gaming anyway (mainly FPS WW2 type games) but when I couldn't play MoH:AA due to my single-core CPU I was very disappointed. I've been racking my brain...

    Wireless Headphone Advice

    Greets all I am craving some new wireless headphones as a belated holiday gift and was wondering what the concensus was on this board as to what are the best. I'm in the $100-$150 or so price range. I currently am leaning towards either the: 900 Mhz Sennheiser RS130's...
