I'm intending to upgrade this old computer of mine a little, since its Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz is still modestly fast. Its 2GB RAM A-DATA DDR2 800 I bought 3 years ago seems to be low to me. Sometimes the virtual memory go up more than 2GB on Task Manager and the system slows down...

I'm thinking of buying the Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 or DFI 4 Ultra D or the EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra. Would folks who have the K8N Ultra purchase it again or would you get another board? The DFI is highly rated by reviewers and enthusiasts .. but it just looks like it could be a headache to tweak it...

I have just fitted a XP2500+ Mobile CPU and I can only get it to run at 798.76mhz and 133 fsb. I have set the bios to manual and the switches on the board to auto. If I try to change it with Easytune, it won't let me. Any idea's? Many thanks

Hi. Has anyone used a mobile CPU with this board and if so, was there any problems? I want to upgrade my old Palomino cpu as it runs too hot and too slow.

Will a 1.2 Ghz Athlon (Thunderbird) work OK with a GA-7DXE motherboard. I will have some 2100 DDR RAM also. Anything wrong with this combination, and will the DDR RAM work at 266Mz or will it be pegged at 133Mz. I used to have the Athlon on an ABIT KT7A which I blew up by mistake. I have had...

I am in a quandry as to what to buy, either the 7DXE or 7VA. I know the 7VA has USB 2.0 and and a faster FSB and takes PC2700 RAM, but I am really strapped for cash and am using an Athlon 1.2 Ghz at 200 FSB anyway. The price difference from Dabs is £9.00 and PC2100 ram is the same price...

Will not boot on startup, and gives more than 11 beeps when CPU installed? Any help would be appreciated, I've tried different power supply, reset the bios, with a jumper, and by taken the battery out, nothing happens. Only thing is that I don't have is another PCI express video card to try on it,...

Gigabyte 8IPE1000 Hangs on boot at the "press del to enter setup - F9 for express recovery, escape ...missing text" screen for about three minutes, then boots normally. Have any thoughts? What should I check?

Does GA-8IHXP (Rev 2.1) support 250GB drives? BIOS has been updated thru F7 2002/10/4. The explaination of the last update F8 does not mention big drives just HT technology Please help! Thanks

Hi, I've reinstalled Win98 SE on a friends PC & found all MoBo drivers from either the Gigabyte or Intel sites. All I am missing is a driver for an AMR slot modem, I think it could be an Aztech device, the only identifying numbers on it are ACSC93300345 & 6765590000 which are on a sticker on...

Hi, I trying to figure out what the difference is between 7N400 PRO and the 7N400 PRO2 as far as concerned the performance of the Media and Communications Processor(MCP) for 7N400 PRO2 and Media and Communications Processor - Turbo (MCP-T) for the 7N400 PRO. Does anyone now?

I have just upgraded to a new Gigabyte 7NF-RX Socket-A nForce2 (400 FSB) motherboard, and now my chip only runs at 1000Mhz. The memory is 266 which i bought with the processor many years ago.. I have changed the bios to run at 133 (effectively 266).. but it still runs at 1Ghz.. Any ideas

This is the first computer I have built so I apologize in advance for what is probably a newbee mistake. I just built this PC. When I boot the PC the BIOS reports the CPU clock of 1250 MHz. is that correct for a 2800+ AMD processor? My understanding is that the 2800+(FSB 333) runs at 2.08MHZ....

I'm looking for a good quiet cooling solution for my 7N400 Pro 2 based system. I'm currently using an Antec case with lots of fans, and a TI-V77L heatsink which is keeping my CPU at about 19C above ambient case temp. Unfortunately ambient case temp is 35C with room temp at about 25C. And this isn't...

I am looking for a motherboard that will hold 2 or 4, socket 478, P4- 1.5GHz CPUs. 5 PCs at my office were flooded by Katrina. They were a total loss and I have ordered new systems. But looking at the systems, I noticed that although the water came up half way on the MB, the CPU was not wet. ...
