I have an interesting problem with the installation of the OEM version of this operating system. 1st: the OEM Version is the STANDARD version of the Operating System. 2nd: I have previously (and currently) installed the Trial Version of this operating system and had very little difficulties...

On Sep. 1, 2005 I replaced my normal HSF thermal compound with some 30 year old wheel bearing grease that I had in the garage. Afterwards the temps were the same as the original thermal compound. Today they are still as good are maybe .5C better. AMD64 3000+ CPU Temp: +31°C M/B Temp: ...

After flashing the bios, installing the new processor my system seems slower. A benchmark on Doom 3 yields 40 FPS instead of the usual 46. I notice much better multitasking though. Is there anything I should look for in my system to rectify this? Using CPU-Z everything looks fine as I can...

I have MS FlightSim 2004 acquired WinXP x64 Pro with the intent of running it on an AMD 64 platform for a smooth yet fast performance. Which CPU is a better performer in this case?

Hello, I may be building a new PC in the next few months. I have not put in an AMD chip since my 386-40 (which worked very well). I need to get up to speed on 64 bit and dual core systems running on Microsoft XP 64 or Vista. Some background on what I'll be using the system for so you can help...

I'm planning on putting together my first Athlon 64 system. I have built several Athlon XPs but have no familiarity with the 64. On NewEgg I see they're selling Athlon 64 2800+ at $113 for either Clawhammer or Newcastle, and all the specs appear to be the same between the two. What's the difference?

I know this not a 64 question, but rather a XP question; however this seemed like a group with folks knowledgeable on AMD processors all around, and so let me throw it out there. I would like to make a small upgrade to my processor, XP 1600 (1.4 GHz) to XP 3000 (2.1 GHz). Would I see a big enough...

Still more questions.... I currently have an old ATX case for my Athlon XP 1900+ with MSI K7N420 Pro which I'm wondering if I can re-use for my new AMD64 (probably 4000). From what I can see from AMD's website, many recommended motherboards have ATX form factors. I'm guessing it does but just...

Ok, a bit off whack here but I am looking at building a new rig since mine recently decided to stop firing up (narrowed to cpu or mobo problem, don't think it's worth fixing the 4 year old box). I'm still undecided on whether it'll be 3800 or 4400 (4800 seems a little pricey without significant...

Sorry guys...there is no RAM or memory specific ng out there that I can find. So if you don't mind, I'll ask it here since I've been lurking here a lot lately. I just built a new system, but when I run Everest or CPU-Z, it says my memory timing frequency is 200MHz. However, the RAM is 400MHz. ...

I'm still researching componets for my Athlon 64 system. I think I found the motherboard I'll need : ASUS A8N-E w/ NVIDIA nForce ultra 4 These motherboards have a PCI Express x4 slot. Where most others (Abit, Gigabyte, ECS) just have x16 and x1 slots. I don't know if I'll ever need a x4 slot; ...

I've just bought a 24" widescreen flat panel for my main PC, so I'm looking to improve the performance of my system in games at high resolutons. I mostly play City of Heroes, Battlefield 2 & Dawn of War. My current system is as below: Athlon XP 3000 Abit KD7 1Gb DDR333 256Mb Radeon X800XL

Hi, Strange +5v rail readout using both mbm5 and speedfan. Both show a fluctuation between 2.17 and 5.41 v. I have tested the psu using a multimeter and everything is good. So I can only assume the mainboard is giving false readings or there is a problem with the mainboard. The funny thing is...

My bro has just bought a Venice 3200+ with an Asrock Dual SATA (ULi chipset) motherboard and 6800GS. He is now saying that he gets constant random spikes from all programs listed under processes on task man, CPU is pegged out at 100% all the time and the system is lagging to hell. I have got him...

What does it do exactly? Is it really beneficial, or just wasted overhead? Thanks, -Larry
