Economics of SATA hard drive by

Am in the UK. Running an old system which works quite well: Via 266
mobo with Duron 1800 processor and 768MB of SD-RAM.
Will upgrade the system when I need the extra power. Currently need to
add to my data storage. Don't want to get Parallel IDE (PATA) because
newer mobos will support only...

Power supply EXPLOSION by
Peter Hucker
Ok, maybe watercooling the power supply was not a good idea.
It certainly kept the power transistors with the big heatsinks cool, but what of the poor little diodes and a transformer, which didn't get the airflow they expected?
Been working fine for a few weeks, then suddenly..... about 15 bangs,...

Sempron warning by
Wes Newell
Don't get screwed by purchasing a new Sempron CPU. They aren't new. They
are just Tbred cores rated with a different benchmark suite to give then
higher PR (model) numbers. The fact is that the Spempron 2800+ ($107) only
runs at about the same perfomance level as the XP 2400+ ($53). And...

PCs to change radically in 2004! (The Enquirer) by
Wayne Youngman
Hi,
I'm sure most of you know about these changes, but it seems 2004 is *INTELS*
year to go WHOOOOSH! Makes me question spending £200.00 on a new case and
PSU (sniff bye bye coolermaster/lian-li ATX case and ANTEC TrueBlue 480w)

Bye bye AMD by
Toby Groves
Well having read the reviews of the Athlon 64 & FX today, I have to say
I think AMD are toast :(
From a performance perspective, the P4EE beats the A64 in most
benchmarks in 32-bit at least, and as 64-bit is total pie-in-the-sky at
present, this is really all that matters.
The A64 is going to be...

So what if thermal compound spreads? by
Jim
Depends, depends on how much and the CPU. On the Intel, much less of a
problem (as long as it's not creeping around on to the underside!). On the
AMD, much more problematic. The AMD core is *exposed*, and thus there are
various "bridges" that surround it. The last thing you want to do...

New PC Intel Or Amd by
JustMe
Hello,
I want to buy a new PC. Some friends and so told me:
* Don't chose an AMD, its less stable and gives more blue screens than an Intel and installing XP gives a lot of problems.
* The standard coolers from AMD make a lot of noise, Intel is a lot quiter.
What's true and what isn't?

Need a Kick-Ass Case! by

I have just sold my 4 months old AMD system which was housed in an ANTEC

I intend to build a new system (AMD I reckon) but this time I want to

athlon xp 2800 - Ghz? by

Hi,
I just ordered a replacement for my Dad's burned up 2800 AMD Athlon XP (fan
and heatsink fell off) with a new one.
He insistes that his previous CPU said "2.75 or 2.8Ghz" in the POST when he
booted his PC but the specs on the one I ordered says it's a 2.08Ghz CPU.
Are there different speeds...

AMD compared to Intel by

I've switch back and forth between Intel and AMD cpus for years.
Currently AMD has the best price/performance.
All the graphics card makers try to keep the cards compatible with AMD and
