    long delay before POST

    AMD xp2000; 512 generic ram I changed the battery. CMOS is keeping up with the date now and wasn't before, but it takes a few minutes before it even thinks about POSTing. When it finally POSTs, everything seems fine - at a slower speed than it should...It won't run at 133mhz bus speed like it...

    I've got a nice fresh install of XP on a SATA drive. I don't have another SATA drive, just a regular ATA. How about your recommendations on backup software and possible complications imaging from SATA to ATA and back.

    Alcoholism is not a disease.

    It certainly IS a disease. It's an incurable, progressive disease. I have no doubt that if I were to pick up a drink today, I'd be dead and gone in a matter of weeks or less. DEAD and GONE! Alcoholics who pick up after a time of sobriety soon find themselves in a condition far worse than when...

    While going through Prime95 tests, MSI CoreCenter is showing my +12V as 11.5 Volts. Here's the PSU I'm using: PSU I think is was 11.8 or so before the torture tests began. Should I be shopping for another PSU??? btw, the machine is 3200+ Winchester testing @ 2500Mhz on a Neo2 Platinum.

    Did your 'brand new' OEM Athlon 64 look like this?

    Well, I probably shouldn't mention any names at this point, but they are a high volume USA reseller and I DO have 60 days to put it to the test. Maybe I'll try to push it a little and see how it does. Hopefully it wasn't a return because it's a clocking dud or something. It's possible too that...

    Did your 'brand new' OEM Athlon 64 look like this?

    This cpu looked a little rough (dirty) to me when I opened it. The image on the left is right from the package, handled by the edges only, exept a fingertip sized smudge underneath the '1144'. The image on the right is after a touch up with a clean lint free cloth and a drop or two of alcohol...
