Realistically speaking how soon does everyone anticipate the new processors being available for purchase? Newegg does not even have them posted yet. Amy.

A7N8X Deluxe BIOS corruption: I think so too... A little over a week ago, I received a version 2.0 A7N8X Deluxe. It replaced the A7M266 that was running rock solid for the 3+ years that I had it. All other componets in my system remained unchanged, except for the changing of the motherboard. I...

Hi all! A friend of mine is not really happy with the Intel 2200BG wlan he has on his W1Vc laptop. Is it possible/easy to modify this? I'm assuming the laptop contains a mini-PCI card somewhere that handles the wlan. Is it as easy as opening up the laptop, removing the 2200BG, inserting something...

When I turn on my computer the power light is blinking, like, one time each second. It keeps on blinking until I reboot or turn the computer off. It doesn't blink every time i boot, but at random. Is this an indication of some sort of mainboard failure? I'm using BIOS 1004 ============== Posted...

Barton 2500+ unlocked. I guess crappy memory - Nanya from a PC fair, supposedly 400mhz. No bh-5 chips I bet. Decent PSU (Enlight 420). Gets up to 180 fine. Not over that, the nice post lady tells me the memory failed. Dropped multiplier to 10, no better. Raised it to 11.5, ok. 12 fails P95. I...

I sold a system a year ago using Athlon 2400--unlocked (IIRC). Used regular PC-133 ram--not DDR, and used a ECS--K7S5A mobo which now is losing time & cmos settings--quite common with this mobo. The customer wants me to upgrade his mobo, using same ram. What's a good, inexpensive mobo to replace...
