China develops 64-bit workstation CPU

Zebo, that's a very interesting hypothetical question and I honestly don't know the exact answer. I do know that periods such as the cultural revolution and the great leap forward hurt China a great deal and set the country back for many many years. Other than that, I can't really speculate on...

Adjusted CPU FSB clock- did I kill my PC

While I don't think almost tripling the FSB frequency without adjusting any other setting is a good idea, the CPU is likely not fried. Try resetting the bios according to your motherboard manual. It is usally about setting a jumper, waiting a few seconds, and then resetting the jumper. If...

China develops 64-bit workstation CPU

After reading this entire thread, I feel that I should try to dispell some of the misconceptions regarding China and the people living there. First of all, let me say that I was a Chinese citizen who immigrated to the US in the early 1990s. I am not an expert on either country, but I can share...

How to recognize the Venice from the Winnie

I would say if you have a good AGP video card then stick with the Neo2... otherwise go to the NF4 platform with a PCIe video card.

Do I dare venture into OC-land?

I would say that it should not damage most motherboards that are built well, such as the DFI and MSI boards. However, using a high FSB with stock voltage will raise your CPU temperature, and may still damage your CPU if your cooling isn't good enough. To minimize this risk, you need to push...

I think pretty much any stepping would have a decent chance of reaching 2.3ghz.

BIG problem..Can't boot from floppy

I think it's a BIOS problem too. Make sure you enabled the FDC controller, set the correct floppy disk type, enabled boot-up floppy seek, and set the correct boot order to have floppy disk in the first position.

DVD burning problem

Try using the drive to read from a few commercially pressed CD or DVD first, make sure the CD-ROM drive is able to recognize the changes in the discs. I suspect there might be a firmware bug or something that is preventing the OS from recognizing the disc change. Updating the firmware might help.

nVidia overclocking question

Sounds like luck of the draw?

I personally have found more success not always setting the memory to 100mhz (1:2 divider) but rather using a divider that makes my memory run as close as possible to 200Mhz without going over. Perhaps you guys could try that and see.

Geil PC4000 won't go past 240 fsb

1. What is your HTT multipler at? You might have to try a X3 multipler, even though X4 should work at that speed. 2. Which VDIMMs have you tried? With memory there is often one perfect VDIMM for each FSB speed. I would start from 2.5V and go up in .5V increments to check.

Memory timing curiosity

No i don't think it's the memory controller. I think there are two possibilities here: 1. Although your system boots with your memory at 2-2-2 and CPU at 800mhz, it's still not really stable, and running it at 200x10 just exposed the problem sooner. 2. Tighter timings cause memory to...

Looking for good memory

For samsung TCCDs, the OCZ PC3200 EL Rev 2, g.Skill PC4400 LE, and Corsair TwinX PC4400-PT are all good choices. For non-samsung TCCDs, I would go for the OCZ EL VX PC4000. Your board would love that memory!

Strange memory readings

Here is how divider really works. When your CPU is running at 289x9=2601, and your memory is set to 5:6, the memory speed is calculated in the following way: 9*6/5=10.8; the CPU rounds this number to 11, so your memory is at 2601/11 which is about 236. It is NOT 289*5/6=240, but some...
