Hi All, I just put together an old AMD Athlon 1 Gig chip with a stick of 256DDR ram, an old WDC HDD, a new case, and a new Gigabyte GA-7VKMP mobo. After about an hour's worth of computing, (installing win2K, service packs, browsing, etc) I was setting up a Win2K/RH7.1 dualboot, when I restarted...

Hi, I was totally confused looking at the AMD model line for 32 bit the other day. Different front side buses and different cpu cache sizes. Of course the famous amd rating system is confusing to me at least. Does anyone know a site that has ratings for the best bang for the buck amd 32 bit...

I recently bought an Athlon 1.4 ghz CPU model no. A1400AMS3C. I assumed (incorrectly) that my motherboard (a Gigabyte GA-7ZX) would support the 266 FSB as well as the 200, but it doesn't, leaving me with a processor that only reads at 1.05 ghz. I would like to trade this CPU with the 200...

Hi, I'm upgrading my current motherboard, since my XP2100+ processor died, and I decided to get a 3200+ to replace it. I don't want to spend out on an athlon 64 yet, so I thought I'd take advantage of the Athlon XP prices dropping due to the 64 coming out. I've already ordered the 3200+ processor,...

Will this combo work. On the Asus site it says the highest is the 2100 Palomino. If not, what is the main problem? CPU core voltage? Multiplier? ? Thanks

Hi, I am a little bit confused... ok, ok, a lot... is the Sempron a 64-bit processor like the Athlon64? Thanks! P.S. Please post all replies here... my e-mail is not real... sorry... just let me know if you want my real e-mail address... :^)

Greetings and Hello, :) I have many times read and found answers among these boards, but this time I feel I need a little more direct help. I need help properly setting (clocking) the processor in my old secondary pc for peak performance and stability. Rather than the default 1g the boards...

On intel boards you can use intel's application accelerator to adjust disk drive accoustic management settings. Is there an equivalent on via amd boards? Thanks Paul

When I installed WinXP Pro to my system, it assigned my first hard drive the letter "E" instead of "C" and my second hard drive the letter "C" instead of "D". This can't be changed under Administrative Tools. Anybody have any ideas how to reassign the correct letters without doing another...

Hi All, My son has just got hold of a new XT 1800 chip that is green rather than the usual dark brown. I've searched the Net but cannot find any reference to the XT1800, is it a chip made for a specific application or a standard XP 1800 by another name? Thanks for any info you can let me...

Hey I have a fairly new system with a 2800+ overclocked to 3200+ equivilant 2.2GHz Clock. It idles at 57C and climbs into the mid 60s under a high load. Are these temparatures acceptable or should i reel it in a little. Thanx Ben

I just had to drop my old 1.4 Athlon chip in my board since my old chip got fried (long story involving a cat, a baby and an open case). I was going to get some thermal paste but a friend of mine says that you don't really need to apply the paste these days. Now my friend is constantly building...

My CPU temperature varies between 50 and 70 degree celcius is that to much??? It reaches 70 at max load and 50 when idle. CPU: Athlon Thoroughbred XP 2600+ 2.133GHz Køler: ThermalTake Silent Boost, XP 3400+, Duron/T.Bird 1400 MHz, 21 db

ok i am seeing more and more of these people thinking that intel is better than amd and that the raw clock speeds are what really matters most. i am the proud owner of a 2700+ that i have stably overclocked to what is considered to be a T-Bred 3200+ which runs at 2.509 Ghz. in sissoft sandra i...
