Trying to boot WindowsXP on Asus A8N-SLI by
Andrew Krieg
I've just put a new system together and I'm trying to install WindowsXP.
I have a striping RAID 0 system set up on 2 SATA drives. After loading
XP onto a partition, the install process reboots. I then get a message
"Error, unable to read from disk" when it tries to continue with the
install. If...

Asus A8N-SLI chipset fan failing; how to replace? by
Andrew Krieg
I'm pretty disappointed this fan is near-inoperable after less than 6
months of operation. How can you replace this fan? It seems to be
attached by a couple of springy bolts. Can you pop the fan off without
taking the whole motherboard apart and out of the case?

No... The interface can only operate as fast as the bus it's plugged into
so assuming the hardwired bus is faster...

Abit AN8-V vs. Asus A8N5X by

Which would you rather?

As an aside, is 4x PCIe a good idea to be forward-compatible with a
totally smoking audio card?

How many Opterons are binned out of an Athlon tray? by
[email protected]
How many Opterons are binned out of an Athlon tray? How many chips
make the Opteron cut?
Because Opteron 165, 170, 175 and 180 are just the best chips tested
from a batch of (potential) Athlon X2s, out of one tray (or wafer),
what is the breakdown of how many chips become binned/selected as...

Opteron 165: when will warehouses run out of 'em? by
[email protected]
Like it says, when will we stop seeing Opteron 165s one the price
lists? And, when it disappears off the charts, how much will an
Opteron 170 or higher cost at that time? Will prices continue to trend
steadily upward as supply dwindles, or would the prudent buyer be
smarter waiting for prices to...

Opteron 939 Price-Trends? by
[email protected]
A month back, I read that AMD was slashing its Opteron prices to let go
of inventory before releasing socket M2. Lately, I've been watching
AMD CPU prices rather hawkishly (the darling being the 3200+ Venice).
Generally, we're watching stable prices with occasional dips, but
lately I've seen...

Budget Solution -- Cheap Core 2 vs Cheaper X2 by
[email protected]
The C2D is definitely superior, see e. g.

Ah, but will Intel's quad-core solution be superior to AMD's? That is
the thousand dollar question. I know next year I'll be able to plug a
quad-core Barcelona...
