Hey there guys :) First post here! I haven't bought a desktop puter since my Thunderbird 800 MHz in 2000 - now I'm gonna build a wicked kickass Athlon64 :D Only thing is, being out of the game for so long, I'm deeply confused with the memory situation. I've got my heart set on the Abit KV8-MAX3...

Just wondering. Keep in mind the mobo is a serverboard (Tyan) which has NO cpu options to speak of in Bios. Wondering if the system would simply downclock itself to something it could handle?

I have an Epox 8RDA3+, Athlon 2600, running XP Pro. Boot Drive is SATA Western Digital 120Gb. D: is Zip 100, E: is CDRW. System runs great except for one problem. When I open a QuickTime movie file from the C: drive, I get the following error: QuickTime Player: QuickTimePlayer.exe-NoDisk There is...

Looking for an Athon MB with the ability to put in 2x512Mb ECC RAM. From what I've seen, very few of the AMD motherboards support ECC (I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe with 2x512 PC2700 non-ECC, and while it works, it's only about 99% stable even with the latest BIOS). Major problem that I'm...

Hey guys just want to get some feed back. My last 3 comouters have all been AMD home builts but my next one may not be. I will be building a new computer to replace my aging 2200+ and I have to say unless something fantastic happens its gonna be Intel inside. No one needs 64 bit computing The...

I'm considering upgrading (I think) from a P4 1.6 to an AMD 2800. My main question is can I use my existing case and power supply that I currently use for a P4? TIA...

I recently upgraded my CPU from an XP 1800+ to a Barton core 2800+/333. All other hardware is the same, namely a Gigabyte 7N400 Pro2 and a Thermaltake Volcano 7 HSF. I wasn't exactly the coldest rig on the planet...my CPU temps as measured by Easy Tune 4 (Gigabyte utility) were in the low to...

Hello, 2 years ago I bought a AMD Athlon 1500+ CPU together with an MSI mobo K7T266 Pro2 (AMD KT266A chipset based). Yesterday, I wasted that cpu ::damn::. Now I want to buy a new cpu for that same mobo who supports cpu from 800mhz - 1800Mhz according the manual. However is it possible to run...

I'm wanting to put an XP 3200+ in a Tyan 2462 mobo - but do they make a 266fsb xp3200+ at all?

Can anyone give my the bios setting for an amd xp2400xp. Amd's web site is terrible to try and find anything. Need correct, not overclocked, buss speed clock multiplier and core voltage. thanks Ray

I'm running a T-Bird 1.2 on a Gigabyte GA-7ZX mobo and 384MB PC2700 RAM. My other components are acceptable (GeForce4200, SB512, etc). What would be the most reasonable upgrade in terms of mobo+processor, if I want to retain my RAM and all other components? I don't game much but do DVD and photo...

scsi or not?

replaced a 300 watt power supply with a antec 350W supply and now the system does high/low beep tones. The system runs and benchmarks fine. Any ideas why the beep? A7v133-c amd XP2000 running 1.5 512 meg ram 9600 xt When I put the orginal 300w back in the beeps stop.

Can someone recommend a decent Athlon 64 motherboard, or perhaps give me a link to some comparison article? I'm mainly after stability, not really overclocking power...anyone have any good experiences with Athlon 64 boards they wish to share?
