    choices choices... need help

    Ok, I am going to upgrade my system (Celeron 366, GF2MX, well cooled big tower etc.). Now I'm wondering what to get... Abit NF7-S Rev. 1.2 (or is there anything against this board?) 2x256 MB RAM (brand? timings?) PSU (should be powerful enough and long lasting..., this special ATX connecter...

    Abit NF7-S... anyone?

    It looks like an interesting board. Alltough I like the A7N8X's DualNet, its price tag is a bit hefty compared to the NF7-S (has all the features the A7N8X Deluxe has (except the second NIC... but then there is a Serial ATA to ATA adapter)... but for much less money). Any comments? Stability...

    strange problems on an old board

    ok... got an old system, based on a VX board (QDI Explorer IV). It has support for EDO and SD-RAM, Pentium and Pentium MMX. I want to get that old box running and have 2x32 MB SD and 2x8 MB EDO RAM, several vid cards, a P120 and a P133. A 13 gig Maxtor and a 4 gig Quantum HDD and atm a Teac CD...

    give up Genome@Home TeAm?

    I've been wondering if we shouldn't give up that team (I recall something like 5 active members)... everything neccessary is to change the team ID to our F@H team (198) so that the points get added to our F@H score. The work done is still the same, so who wants can work on G@H. Only thing...

    installing KDE3 on XP Pro

    Hi, I'm currently trying to install KDE3 on my XP box (running SFU 3.0) and have some problems installing QT. It requires me to set a few variables to directories, the problem is that it won't remember after restart and only accept lower cap variable names, but I need things like PATH or QTDIR...

    EKL 1041

    does anyone knows this hsf? Any reviews? I know a "review" where they used a XP2200 with this hsf, OCed the 2200 to a XP2400 and raised the case temp to nearly 60°C. At that point the CPU ran at 65 to 67°C... while the fan was still pretty quiet. So if that is true I guess we have an excellent...

    XP1600 AGOGA?

    There is an auction: XP1600, AGOGA Stepping. The problem is... the seller says he doesn't get the CPU to work on his board, but that would be because its a non XP compatible board. On the picture there are no visible damages, but the quality is not that good anyway. He sells it as defect... what...

    Asus A7V333 or Gigabyte GA-7VAXP

    Well, which one? The Asus is 102? at eBay, 2 more hours to go. Add 6? for shipping. It was a replacement board. The Gigabyte is 130?, brandnew, shipping free. What do you think? Which one is a better deal? Both are with Firewire, which I need. Oh, and before you ask. The 130? is extremely cheap...

    CoolerMaster HHC-001 on PPGA Celeron?

    No, the question is not if this would make sense (I guess it won't :D ), its just if its possible (just temporary). Or can't the cooler hold on the clip (incompatible?). Or is the whole thing to heavy to stay on the slotket? What about other good cheap heatsinks? It HAS to be compatible with...

    ECS K7S5A or Asus A7V333?

    I want to upgrade my old system, what I need is Firewire, if possible with more than 2 IDE Controllers (I don't like having 2 drives hanging on a controller...). Performance wise it should be not bad either, I will be using DDR RAM with the board (if possible I'd use my old SDRAM before I'd...

    ECC RAM

    I'm able to get some ECC PC100 256 MB RAM from HP. For around 40$. And I have a BX board. So this should work, eh? But are there any speed tradeoffs? Does ECC RAM works beside non-ECC RAM? Can I still activate ECC? Or should I get PC133 no-name RAM for about the same price? I've got a celeron...

    Which CPU is the best for my BX board?

    Ok, what I have is a Gigabyte 6BXC PCB 1.9. Latest BIOS update is from August 2000 (or 2001, doesn't stand there) and mentions that it makes the board (only later versions) compatible to FC-PGA. At the moment a Celeron 366 sits on an Abit SlotKET-III (1.3V to 3.5V, FC-PGA etc.). Can I now just...
