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...

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

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...

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...

I'm looking for a 64 bit driver to use in linux (gentoo or SuSe) with my Ati Radeon 9800 pro XT.

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...

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. ...

Hi there I'm more than interested in conclusions concerning maximum hard disk size running on FIC SD11 based systems (1st Gen. Athlon) without additional hardware controllers. So far I've been told there might be some problems with HDD greater than 80GB? Can anyone confirm? Thanks so far, Regards
