    Well, I finally lost my patience waiting for the P182 last week... ordered the P180B on Wednesday and took advantage of the $25 Newegg rebate.

    ArctiCooler and PIII-compatible Slockets?

    Has anyone had success installing an Agilent ArctiCooler (HACA-0001) onto an Intel Slocket? I'd like to try the arcticooler, but it doesn't fit on my MSI Master 6905 Slocket. The lip on the clip doesn't fit due to the jumpers on the Master, also the lip seems too long to snap in place on the...

    Quiet DVD-ROM drive

    I bought the slot loading Pioneer 16x awhile back and found it to be way too noisy. The Toshiba SD-M1402 (12X) was incredibly quiet compared to the Pioneer. I'm not sure how the 12X and 16X Toshiba's compare, though. Probably worth trying the 16X, just make the store you buy it from has a...

    Coolbits Registry Hack Not Working With Latest Detonator Beta Drivers

    I've tried coolbits on Detonator 6.50 and 6.67 and the hardware options tab for oc'ing is still unavailable. I'm back to the 6.49 drivers and everything seems to be working fine. BTW, I have a CL 32 MB Geforce II GTS. sc

    Soyo or Asus or Abit

    I have been using a SY-6BA+III for nearly a year... first I had a Celeron 366@550 for about 6 months. Now for the past 4 months or so I have been running a C-II 533a@880... no stability problems whatsoever. sc

    Everglide mousepads and Intellimouse Optical

    I have a white everglide that was useless (especially with Quake) with my IntelliEye mouse. So definitely don't get a white everglide. I ended up getting a black ratpad that works great. sc

    Poll: What kinda mouse pad do u use?

    I am using an IntelliEye with the Ratpad... got the Ratpad because the IntelliEye didn't work with my Everglide and using the mouse with no pad was actually eroding my desk's surface. I am really impressed by how well the intellieye works with my (black) Ratpad. Excellent for Quake. sc

    Maximum PC - Maximum BS (Celeron vs Duron)

    I bet the small difference in Quake scores is related to the video card used. FiringSquad shows that with a Geforce 2 GTS, an oc'd Celeron performs close to an oc'd Duron at high resolutions (1280 by 1024 and above)in Quake 3. With a lesser video card the video card will probably limit the...

    any good games for Pentium 75????

    I played Star Control III on my old Pentium 200 (it might run on a P 75)... I was entertained by it, but I thought the game was kinda short and too straightforward. I am completely unfamiliar with SC II. Was SC III a dumbed-down version of (or a complete departure from) SC II? SC III really...

    Returning a Defective Western Digital HD

    Toshiba 12x vs. Pioneer Slot Loader 16x

    I purchased both the 16X Pioneer Slot Loading and the Toshiba 12X. I returned the Pioneer because it was super loud when playing an audio CD or reading data from a data CD. (I never tried a DVD on it.) A few people have said that the Pioneer is only loud when reading data, so maybe the noise...

    Cable Vs DSL

    There are bottlenecks in both DSL and cable connections. I have had cable for 2 years now, and the performance has varied. When I first got cable my connection was excellent; I could connect to a number of quake servers and maintain a ping of less than 50 ms. A few months ago my connection...

    At how high a voltage are you comfortable running your .18 micron CPU?

    Well, I dropped back down to 880 MHz at 1.81 V. Everything seemed fine at 904 1.92V, but I figure the performance benefit is negligible in all the games I play, so there is no point in stressing out the CPU. tielli: I get 1.81 V on my Soyo 6BA+III by setting the MSI Master slocket jumpers to...

    Loud and Annoying Pioneer Slot Loading Drive (105S)

    Hmmm, maybe I will ask for a replacement, then... This drive just makes a very high-pitched sound when a cd is placed in it. I also have a Plextor 8/4/32 CD R/W which is incredibly quiet. No noise whatsoever when playing a CD in it. There is such a huge contrast between the Plextor and the...

    Just installed this brand new OEM bare bones drive. I am playing a CD and the drive has high pitched buzz saw-like sound. Is this the way all Pioneer drives are? If so, I am returning it and asking for refund. If not, I will ask for a replacement. Thanks in advance for any info. sc

    Memory allocation error when looping q3 timedemos, memory problem?

    I get the same error. I'd like to be able to loop q3 all night long to test my system stability; however, that error always crashes quake (usually within an hour when I had 256 MB, now within 30 mins at 128 MB). I was wondering if there was a command that could be added to the demo loop that...

    error in voltages in MSI-6905 Master?

    I have errors in my voltages too. When I set the jumpers to 1.7, 1.75, 1.8, or 1.85 v I get 1.9, 1.95, 2.0, or 2.05 v. I have a Soyo 6BA+iii mobo that allows voltage increments up to 10%. Thus, I can get 1.82 volts by setting the slocket to 1.65 v and selecting +10% in mobo bios; however, the...

    celeron 533 or 566? where to buy?

    ingenue - you want the Thermal Take Golden Orb for FC-PGA processors, not the socketed version for SECC2 processors. I just upgraded to 533a cel, and I'm running at 800 MHz, 1.68 v. Very stable and cool with my Soyo 6BA+III, MSI 6905 Master slocket, and gorb. sc
