Last weekend i went out and bought a XP 2500 AMD CPU and got it home thinking it would work in my motherboard. My older motherboard only goes up to 266 bus speed. So I went back and bought anAsus A7V8X motherboard, its a cheap board. But its all I need. Before I take everything out and take it...

I recently bought an Athlon 1.4 ghz CPU model no. A1400AMS3C. I assumed (incorrectly) that my motherboard (a Gigabyte GA-7ZX) would support the 266 FSB as well as the 200, but it doesn't, leaving me with a processor that only reads at 1.05 ghz. I would like to trade this CPU with the 200...

I have an AMD Ahtlon 1.2 Ghz x86 cpu. I think it is a k7. Not sure if it has 3D Now and what the cache size is. All I have is the chip with no type of cover. The chip is on silicon with its pins. I believe the cover, which usually displays additional info, was taken off for a heat sink. The...

With this summer heat, I'm having some serious heat issues with my XP 3000+. I'm reaching 73.5C under load (Painkiller game) after ~45 min using the stock AMD heatsink/fan. From the reviews I've looked at, either the Cooler Master Jet 7+ (the all copper one) or the ThermalTake Silent Boost...

I've just finished setting up my Athlon XP 3000+ system. A week ago, my BIOS read the CP as 2167MHz. Today, I had some massive trouble installing Windows XP Pro, and finally had to grab another copy of it. Now, both Windows and my BIOS read the CPUas1743 MHz. Everything else runs fine. The...

I ended up getting an Athlon XP 3000+ due to the simple lack of availability of the 3200+ in my area (special order only). I set the basic system up last night (m/b, ram, video card) and put it in the case (Thermaltake Xaser VM2000). BIOS reads the the CPU idle temp as 46-47C;. it seems to hold...

I'm in the beginning stages of building myself a new gaming system and I am torn between getting the XP 3000+ processor or the higher-end 3200+. My problems lies in the fact that aside from being $150 more expensive, the 3200+ is very hard to find in my area and mail-order would be...

(Also posted in the ATI newsgroup). I recently replaced a dead motherboard in my system. Prior to the motherboard dying, my Radeon 9800XT had been working fine. After replacing the motherboard, I noticed the Windows XP "Programs" menu would appear very slowly and disappear slowly. I noticed...

Greetings, I recently purchased a 2500+ Barton. My motherboard would not post so I tried my old AMD processor for verification on a bad motherboard. I was having trouble removing the heat sink so I had someone help me by using a small screwdriver to pull outward on the clip so it...

I've got an early socket a Athlon that uses 100 MHz front side bus. I read somewhere that the Thunderbird becomes unstable beyond 150MHz fsb. Is this true? I thought cpus didn't care much about the external memory speed. I think my motherboard is stuffed and would be happy to get a new motherboard...

I have an Athlon XP 1700 CPU with 512 mb of PC 2700 memory that ran at 1.4 mhz just fine until today. That was what was originally installed and that's what all system settings in Windows XP showed. Then, I installed a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card and drivers today -- and it works fine. I'm...

Currentley I have a mainboard 266 FSB & XP2000 CPU, 512Mgb DDR . I am thinking of upgrading with a 400 FSB & XP3000 CPU. Will it be wothwhile or is it better to go for the 64bit AMD Socket 754 with apprpriate motherboard. Bruce

I have been trying to create an account in the mozillazine forums but have had no luck. I hope one of you volunteers can help me out. I had one a few years ago but did not stick with Thunderbird at the time and have long since forgot the username I had set up. It gave no option to retrieve the...

A day ago I got some help with my computer problem after I installed a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard. Those suggestions helped, at least at first, but now I'm in a new nightmare. The problems are probably related, but I'm not sure how. Here's the immediate problem: The computer freezes within...

Hi all, I've been approved for funding to start a web design and hosting business. It's a good thing I have gotten assistance as the costs of startup are higher and the growth of opportunities, i.e. income, is slow in coming. Anyway, part of what was approved, and I am lucky in this...

Sorry, I am a bit long winded! A couple months ago I purchased a USB/Firewire combo card from Newegg.com. As follows: Koutech IO-FUTURE IO-PFU330 FIREWIRE/1394 + usb 2.0 COMBO PCI OEM Installed it & it ran great. I used it for an external hard drive, flash drive, mouse, no problems at all. I was...

My first big upgrade was a 200mgz to a Celeron 300A that I clocked to 450. That was a DEAL & I loved the performance. I was happy for a while. Then it was a flip-chip P3 600 clocked at 800. I was happy. Then P4s came out, over-priced, neutered, & I jumped ship to AMD & got an 1800+ but ran it...

If I go out & get myself a new Nforce2 dual channel board & a 2500+ could I make due with the RAM I got now? 2 sticks, 256 meg a piece of Corsair PC2700 CL2 RAM. Good stuff, & I really got no other use for it.
