Hello People I'm intending to upgrade my Athlon XP 2500+ Barton to a XP 3000+ Barton. Will the existing heatsink and fan (Official AMD supplied with the CPU) installed with the 2500 still be suficient? Thanks John Hellingsworth

I've been offered an Athlon XP 3200+ plus A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard combo for about $195. First, is this a good price ? Secondly, how would this combo stack up against an A64 2800+ on a K8V mobo, running existing games and other apps, all other things being equal ? Thanks in advance for any input.

Windows XP (32 bit) can handle / address / map (whatever the correct term is) 4GB of 'memory'. However if you install 4GB of physical RAM in a system, it is not all accessible to the user as the operating system uses some of addresses in the 4GB space for hardware mapping, so cannot...

Running XP SP2--I'm having a problem that several drivers and apps fail to load at startup intermittently. Most frequent culprits are the volume control, the ATI 9000 TV tuner, and the Norton Password manager. Everything is up to date. You can manually start any of these. I am currently using the...

I updated the drivers, did a clean install on a different hard drive. It still crashes. Which is more likely? ATI video card or its drivers... I've always had problems with this as it occasionally doesn't allow for two monitors and installs an extra monitor, "generic" along with the two plug and...

Can anyone please help me locate Win XP drivers for a Compaq C7194TU laptop? I know Compaq dropped support for XP some time ago and I've been searching for third-party solutions. I found several apparently suitable ones, but none of them has worked for me. So far, I've managed to install only...

For some reason XP has decided to not read my HP 9600si CDRW drive as it should. It only calls it a CD-Rom device when previously it read it properly. Of course the HP website is no help so I am wondering if anyone is aware of any .inf file that exists for XP for this device? I tried to uninstall...

This really is about hardware. 6 months ago my son in London tried to re-install XP. He couldn't get the HD to format. The system hung part way through. Assuming it to be the HD he bought a new 160Gb HD but got the same result. The next thing was to check the memory by taking out one of the two...

Trying to troubleshoot my daughters PC, which won't boot. It's an Athlon XP2500 on an MSI-KT6 board. The drive is a Maxtor SATA 120 GB. Evidently the board does not natively support SATA, and AFAIK, requires drivers. The system hangs at bootup, with the Windows "flag" screen and scrolling blue...
