I'm going to be upgrading my brothers old machine with some memory sticks lying around at my place. His PC is a 1.3 Duron (100 Mhz bus) on a Gigabyte 7VAXP and the VIA chipset on it supports up to DDR400 memory. What I want to know is:
Is it ok to run DDR400 memory with just a 100Mhz bus CPU...
I think you just have to pick your software carefully.
For firewall, you won't need one if you're connecting to the internet through a router. For anti-virus, again you can live without one if you browse responsibly and log on using a restricted account. For web browsers, I don't wish to be...
I am the sort of person who would buy a Ubuntu Dell box. It's a great operating system, but only if your hardware works out of the box-which isn't the case for any of my computers. And if it doesn't work, the instructions to get it working are extremely complicated - enough for me to think...
I agree with the people who say "Speed doesn't kill - bad driving does".
A couple of people have argued that speed still affects the severity of an accident. But really it's when you cannot stop safely within the distance you can see ahead, that speed comes into it. And of course this is...
Hi there.
Another unbloated media player which I like is Foobar. Also, Opera seems rather less bloated than Firefox, although in my experience that can be occasionally at the expense of website compatibility.
Completely agree with you there.
The worst thing about this government has been the lies and spin. When something hasn't worked out, instead of the government admitting it, they just carry on and try to tell us that everythings improving.
Education, education, education? - Just lower the...
Is that clock-for-clock or compared to Intel's top of the line 3 GHz Core 2 Quad? Not to mention that benchmark is just a synthetic one like many of the Sandra tests.
So pretty meaningless really. Let's see some proper benchmarks.
I'm looking into upgrading my memory to 2GB in preparation for installing Vista x64. It's on an Abit KV8 with a S754 Newcastle 3000+. Right now I have two 512MB sticks of DDR400 at 3-3-3-8 2T. I was hoping to just add a 1GB stick, but according to the manual that means that the memory will have...
The thing I'm confused about, is that I've seen nothing about 1333FSB on quad-core chips. Surely they are the ones which would gain more from the bus increase, or is Intel having yield problems or something with 1333FSB quad-core parts?
Haven't tried this myself yet, but I've heard people say that, if you mute the line in and mic connections that can sometimes get rid of the mouse noise.
Yep, go to control panel, user accounts and then the option will be there. You'll need to restart the computer for it to take effect.
Oh and by the way, if you use software which properly works in Vista then UAC should hardly bother you. The only time it's ever got a bit annoying is when you...
