Doing a slow build and need some advice....finally down to the last two pieces of puzzle. Already decided on the A64 3200+ , now I need some memory. I want to install 1GB, 2 512's preferrably. I'll go with either PC3200,3500, or 4000, doesn't really concern me since I'm not a avid overclocker. ...

Does anybody own or have any experience with the Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboard? I know that the first version of this board (not SE) had some issues, and it seemed like it was more than just bad capacitors on limited shipments. Though the Asus K8V Deluxe earned many positive reviews...

Many of the opteron reviews I read are very old, what is up with that? I'm itching to build one of these.. Brian

In the recent thread by "Hop" I said that I emailed AMD and asked them if the PSU I was supplied with when I bought my A64 3400+ was good enough to run the system...It is a 340W PSU... here is the reply.... "Dear Mr. Coope, Thank you for your interest in the AMD range of products. A 340 W...

I'm looking for a 64 bit driver to use in linux (gentoo or SuSe) with my Ati Radeon 9800 pro XT. I know that Ati doesn't have anything yet, but I'm not having luck finding any 3rd party drivers either. This is the make up of the box: Asus sk8v motherboard , onboard gigabit ethernet AMD Athlon FX...

This chip runs cool. It runs at 12 to 17 c While my AMD Barton 2600+ non-overclocked ran around 35 to 43 C. Same case, but better power supply. ::o) Now I am waiting for Chaintech to upgrade the bios for this new Nforce3 N250 mobo to allow me to disable the onboard Nic, as it is my only hold up...

Anyone have a voice on what to populte this Dual CPU mobo with ?? I can afford 1GB. Shall I look for four 128s or two 512s ?? I heard Corsair Extreme is too edgy ... Any advice on what (and where) to buy appreciated. TIA -bebopper

I have a system with an AMD 64 3400+ on a K8T Neo MSI mainboard. Have two SATA WD 120 gig in a raid 0 on the VIA chipset, not the promise! Have 2 sticks infineon 512 meg pc3200 in dual channel, a Lite on DVD and a Lite on CDRW, a SB Audigy 2 and an MSI 5900 Ultra XT with 256 megs... The thing is...

I think not considering the dividers used today. Consider that running the default 200MHz has a divider of 6. So take it up to 217MHz and the PCI speed is still less than 36MHz. I don't know of any half way decent PCI hardware that won't run on a less than 10% overclock of the bus. All of mine will...

I am hoping to get a Dual Opteron Mobo, 8X AGP along with SATA and LAN. Audio is optional. I cannot find any doing searches, maybe someone here can throw me a pointer in the right direction. Many thanks the_gnome

Well, after some research I have found that my mobo has a BIOS problem. This was reported on several sites that did a review of the Chaintech VNF3-250, and all of them report the CPU temp given by the BIOS as being way too low. One reviewer even said his showed 6c LOL. (42F for those that want to...

Any recommendations on a tried-and-true Power Supply for this mobo ?? According to articles it can run with any 350W PIV compatible PS. Any advantages to a native SATA power connection vs. the standard 4-pin ?? Likewise ATX12v ?? It looks like in order to use ATX12v the board requires a 4-pin...

Strange... I have a Chaintech VNF3 250 motherboard, and an AMD XP 64 3200+ cpu. 3DMark 2001 version 200 under System InfoCPU InfoAMD unknown as Socket Designation ..... Socket 939 Strange, huh? Wayne

I just ordered a 3200+ and an MSI (K8T NEO-FIS2R) board and now I'm wondering what the beta 64 bit windows XP is like. Is it buggy and is it worth using now? I downloaded the iso for 64 bit XP, used Nero to burn to a cd but am I asking for problems? Thanks in advance. Roadkill

Ciao a tutti, sono nuovo! :-) Avrei subito un consiglio da chiedervi!!! Vorrei acquistare un masterizzatore dvd NEC ND-2500 perchè mi hanno detto che è ottimo! Ho però trovato un DVD/R/RW LITEON LDW851S che ha prestazioni simili ma costa 50 euro in meno... secondo voi la differenza (in fatto di...

If I load a 64 bit Linux, such as SUSE, will it run both existing 32 bit and new 64 bit binaries. Not every program I would like to use is available in source. Most but not all. The same question for the beta XP 86-64 release. Normal Win32 OS's did a good job running 16 programs, I am just...

OK I have decided to get some chassis fans for my case as there are none at the mo' and temps of 60C are not going down well with me... OK now I have one 4 pin PS plug thingy left (from the PSU) ...so if I got two or 3 fans (one intake at the front and 2 outtakes at the back) would it be possible...

I'm getting CPU over temp errors when I reset....the cpu is at around 61deg C (140F) is this way too high... My bedroom is pretty hot with the heating on....do you think this is the cause? Cheers Craig...

Anyone know when the mobile 64 will be on the market? I suppose it will be all the rage, like the mobile XP is for the overclockers. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\
