Mini-Review: The Dell Precision T3400 Workstation

I just picked up a T3400 on egay. Bought a barebones system. Put in 8 GIG OCZ ram, Q6600, a 250gig WD HD adn a 8800GTS Video card. Ended up putting Windows 2003 Server in it, Vista was too much of a pain and the harddrive never stopped with Vista. So far, I like it. I upgraded from a...

PCI Express 16x? 8x?

I have a MB with only an 8x PCI-Express video slot- Dell SC420. I wonder if a PCI express card will work in it. It is a second computer, currently a server. I want to beef it up with a good video card. I am not sure it will work. Anyone have any knowledge on this? Thanks...

Asus P5AD2 Premium vs P5AD2 Deluxe

From my research, there is little difference between them. I have tried the board and after 20+ hours, I can only get 3.7 stable. I can get to 1000-250 FSB by reducing the CPU clock, but she can't get to 4.0. All in all, a good board, but it falls short of my hopes. The board...

your thoughts on the p4 extreme

First, EASY KILLER. This is not a FLAME, it is an owner's experience. I have an BFG 6000 GT OC 256mb Ram. I have an Asus A8V with 1 gig HyperX PC 4000. I can't OC cause of the board. My Futuremark 05 scores were poor. It should have screamed. Tell you what. I will do a bench...

P4 with EMT64

I saw a post that they are selling them in England too. I think they want to liquidate all of their current 32 bit chips first. We are talking Billions in lost profit, if the 64 take off with tone of 32's in stock.

Asus A8V, Abit AV8, or MSI Neo2 ?

I also bought both. The Asus is the one I went with. The MSI was nice, but difficult to set up. The Asus is almost plug and play. The asus does not overclock, until board revision 2.0, but if that isn't a concern, than get it now.

I have an Asus A8V version 1.02 with an FX F3. Don't hold your breath too much on the oc. I have dumped up the FX53 to 13X200 with a bump up in voltage. I am using the Zalman copper fan and my temps were 60+ C quickly. My computer would reboot after stress tests. I can bump up the voltage...

CPU heatsinks compatible with the ASUS A8V Deluxe (939)?

I am not overly impressed with the Asus A8V. If you do not overclock, then it might be ok. But if you do, you will be disappointed. I would go with the new Nforce 3 chipset. MSI is coming out with a Neo Platnum 2 or similar with the Nforce chipset. I am going to switch when it comes...

Asus A8V Deluxe pci/agp lock

AGP lock, where. I falshed with 1005.21 and the lock did not stay on. I wish I new this before I bought the board. I would have went with Nvidia's chipset. I did OC by multiplyer, but had to crank the vcore. The processor then got 63C. Too hot for my comfort. I hope they...

x800 Pro Crashing! Help!

I think I solved it, with crossed fingers. I set the bios to have FAST WRITE- Disabled and AGP Mode to 4X. Eventhough, it kind of beats the point of having a fast video card. It seems to have fixed all of the crashing. I want to upgrade to a ATI X800 XT, but am wiery due to these...
