You just got another Athlon XP1700+ working for you. just one question, if I leave it runnung all the time will it slow down my computer ?

 

[Eponymous]

Yeah! Another Member! Welcome!


As for slowing down the machine..... sort of.

In most cases you won't even notice the thing.

However if you are playing some really intense games you may want to switch it off.

(Just remember to turn it back on when you are done.)

First welcome to the TeAm.

Second what Client are you using GUI ( Grafic screensaver version ) og CLI ( Text based ) CLI is the fastest !!!

 

[CADsortaGUY]

WELCOME!

Short answer is No it will not "slow" your computer down. I'm sure other can expand on this as well.

 

[toft-dk]

I'm running the CLI - Setidriver - Setispy setup on my XP1700+ w/ PC-166 ram cas.2 and the Setidriver set to low.
I keep it running even if i play UT and it works great !!!

Welcome sean2002!!
Same as toft-dk, I play Q3 and UT with the seti CLI running in background on my XP 1600+. Only an occasional, very slight hiccup in games, nothing disruptive. My machine is always on 24/7, last reboot 3 days ago was caused by temp monitoring proggie locking up......
Some have had trouble using Outlook 2000(?) and the CLI.......
