    Dell Latitude D505 memory question

    I'd like to upgrade the memory in a Dell Latitude D505. It currently has 512MB of PC2700 (DDR300) memory and I'd like to go to the full capacity of 2GB. I found great prices on name brand 1GB memory sticks but they are PC3200 (DDR400), not PC2700 (DDR300). Will the PC3200 memory work OK in...

    Will E5200/7200/7300 CPU work in Gigabyte P965-S3 v1?

    Yeah, might have to play it safe and get one of the "old" Conroe cores. :(

    Will E5200/7200/7300 CPU work in Gigabyte P965-S3 v1?

    Yeah, I saw that, but those are listed as supported in the v3.3 board and they take the same BIOS. I know the v3.3 board has 1333 FSB and perhaps some additional memory tweaking possibilites, but afaik, the processors I mentioned require only 800 or 1066 FSB which are supported by the v1...

    Max HDD size for Compaq Presario V2000 notebook?

    The Fujitsu HDD failed and want to replace with a larger size. The original is/was 120 gig. Does, by chance, anyone know the maximum size this computer/BIOS (F27) will accept? Since it's PATA, the 320 gig drives are automatically out afaik, but there's at least one 250 gig PATA and I'd...

    Only 200Mbps on new Gigabit system?

    The server is Win2K SP4 running on Asus CUSL2-C mobo with a P3 @ 1.2GHz and 512MB RAM. The NIC in that machine is a (PCI) Intel Pro/1000MT. The HDD is a 160GB PATA Hitachi. The client computer is running Win XP Home SP2 on a Gigabyte P965-S3 mobo with a Celeron @ 3.3GHz and 2GB RAM. The NIC...

    Only 200Mbps on new Gigabit system?

    Jumbo frames were not enabled for the iperf test. I'll try with JF enabled to see the result. Hmmm?? Is it possible the receive performance is better because in this case the client computer uses the mobo's integrated NIC which claims to be PCI-E, whereas the server computer is using a...

    Only 200Mbps on new Gigabit system?

    I ran the basic iperf test using iperf -s on one machine and iperf -c server on the other machine. This gave me about the same results as I had before ~200Mbps. Then I ran iperf with the -c server -l 64k -t 15 -i 3 -r switches and it presented five line of output in two groups. The first...

    Only 200Mbps on new Gigabit system?

    Did not yet try the iperf program, but increasing RWin to 513920 doesn't seem to have made any improvement - speed numbers are still essentially the same.

    Only 200Mbps on new Gigabit system?

    Which ones are wrong and I'll fix them. Anyway, does that prevent anyone from answering the question - only 200Mpbs from Gigabit NICs and switch?

    Only 200Mbps on new Gigabit system?

    Just hooked up a new D-Link DGS-2208 Gigabit switch to a computer using an Intel Gigabit NIC and to another computer using the mobo's Marvell Yukon Gigabit NIC. I have done a speed test using netCPS and also monitored with DU Meter. NetCPS shows about 19.5MB/sec and DU meter shows roughly...

    SATA or PATA CD/DVD burner?

    I think my Plextor 716A (PATA) is slowly dying. It seems to be flakey on reading CD RW and I can't seem to get it to write CD RW or DVD RW - although it stll seems to write CD R or DVD R. Should I get a new SATA drive, or stick with PATA? If I get a SATA drive, will the CD ROM support mode...

    No activation XP Home??

    Uh, evidently not in all cases they don't. I was given a dead eMachines box that had the OEM license key decal on it. I also had a copy of a Dell OEM XP Home disk from another dead computer. Just for fun, I loaded this DELL OEM disk onto a new build using a Gigabyte mobo and a new, blank...

    First PC Build - Please Help

    I may be all wet here, but my understanding (albeit limited at this point) is that Intel mobos are very reliable and high quality, but in general, are limited in their OC ability. Hopefully someone will correct me if that's bad info.

    Fan Issue on GA-965P-S3

    Any chance it's the fan crapping out, not the mobo? Mine seems to work just fine on F7 bios with the stock Intel cooler/fan using the Auto/Auto settings. Actually, I have tried several settings and they all seem to do what they supposed to. Auto/Auto is the easiest so I left it there.

    Has anyone used the Asus board? Pros/cons vs the ASRock? A search did not seem to bring any results about the Asus. Note: The r.2 board is supposed to accomodate 1066...
