    AGP w 939?

    I'm planning to upgrade my wife's computer from an Athlon XP to a 939. (Not an Intel or AM2 since I want to use the DDR memory and Radeon 9800AIW AGP video card that I already have.) I'll be using all four slots for the memory (4x512). I'll use my current Venice 3500+ moderately overclocked...

    Use USA Notebook on 220V in China?

    Thanks, this is great to know. I assume they sell surge protectors in Beijing, too. Less weight to carry over from here.

    Use USA Notebook on 220V in China?

    Q1: Simple question I'm sure for anyone who travels overseas with a laptop. Can I plug my Lenovo laptop (bought last month though NewEgg in USA) into 220 volt outlets? Is the proper plug adapter the only "extra" item needed? Will they have USA-to-Beijing plug adapters available there...

    Rate My Laptop

    I'm new to the notebook scene (I build my desktop computers), and I need to buy a notebook for my son to take to China for a year, and also one for my wife to use in teaching. That widescreen Dell would be perfect for my son. Where do you get those coupons? Do you have any other...

    Sempron 3300+ vs. Athlon 2200+ XP

    No, that combo is an old socket A setup, not much better than what you had. There must be two very different Sempron 3300+s -- that combo uses an old NF2 board and an "AMD Sempron 3300+ 2.0GHz / 256KB Cache / 333MHz FSB / Socket A / Processor", but the TomsHardware chart is testing an NF4...

    Antec TruePower 2.0 430watt or Fortron Bluestorm 400watt

    Yes, Fortran has a fine reputation, as does Antec. I have 5 Antecs running my family's compluters. (Also 4 Antec cases.) So I'm a bit biased, based on my personal experience. If Hexium VII is limited to choosing between only those two PSUs, he should get the Antec. If he can spend more for...

    Will a dual core Athlon 64 help me out any?

    You have a good system already. Wait and build a new system this summer with the new AMD platform. Scrounge around in the meantime and collect a cheap monitor, etc for your wife, and give her your old system then, so you don't have to share, plus you'll be able to play LAN games with her.

    Antec TruePower 2.0 430watt or Fortron Bluestorm 400watt

    Get the Antec. It offers significantly more amps (assuming I was looking at the same Fortron on NewEgg). Your setup with that hi-end card may need the extra power. I'm running an Antec 2.0 480 which I like a lot - quiet and powerful.

    New System: Build my own vs prebuilt

    Is the Compaq upgradeable? For this price, it might not be. Is there an AGP or PCI video card slot? Is there physically ROOM to add a video card? How about adequate ventilation if you add a performance (HOT) card? Plus you'll probably need a better PS. My rule of thumb is if you aren't...

    Need Quick upgrade advice

    Consider the Venice 3200 and 3500, the San Diego 3700, the Opteron, and the X2 3800. They get a little better as you go, and have a better likelihood of overclocking very well, but whether they are worth the extra cost is a matter of opinion. Folks have good luck overclocking most 3200s. Buy...

    Is System Temp the same thing as chipset temp?

    I have the same board and was wondering that, too, but haven't gotten around to searching for the answer. If no one answers here, try searching the DFI forums: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33

    Time for a new motherboard, is it time for 64-bit?

    No, his old PC133 memory is most likely SDR, not DDR, so it won't work in a new motherboard.

    Time to upgrade? If not now, what should I wait for?

    Your rig is not bad. I like my 9800 Pro just fine. If your 9700 Pro runs the new monitor OK, be patient. Wait 4 to 6 months, build an M2 rig, and get today's best video card a lot cheaper then.

    2 free computers... which to take?

    They will both be so slow by today's standards that you may soon tire of them. My old Athlon 850 (on Win XP) makes a decent word processor now, but that is about it. I'd go for the one with the best video option. I have a "free" Dell 866 (Win 2000) but it has no AGP slot and its onboard video...

    Best of 3 Hard Drives

    WD 320 is one of the best performers, and at a good price. Do you really need more space than that?

    Is it worth it getting a UPS?

    I, too, have a surge protector plugged into my APC UPS. It providies power to my second computer. I don't know what "stepped wave output" is, or why it might cause a problem. Could MWink elaborate please? (Save me doing the research.) My APC instruction manual doesn't caution agains...

    Is it worth it getting a UPS?

    I really like my APC XS 1000, from CompUSA on sale for $129 a couple of months ago. I have 2 computers and a monitor plugged into it. It tracks power interuptions. I didn't realize how often the power blinks out for a couple of seconds. My old computer developed strange motherboard problems...

    Does anyone have problems with their dvd burner as a cd burner? Or is it just me?

    I bought an AOpen DVD burner 2 months ago that was fine with DVDs but very slow burning CDs. I saw somewhere that I should update to the newest bios/firmware, which I did, and it improved a lot, but still seems slower than my old Samsung CD burner. My 10 month old MSI DVD burner is better...

    To Dual Monitor or Not.

    I got the AOpen F90GS Black 19" 12ms LCD Monitor from NewEgg a couple of days ago, no dead pixels; it plays movies and BF2 just fine. It is $299 plus 12 shpping, and also has a $50 rebate. I have dual monitors at work and at home, and really like the convenience.

    cpu too hot on a venice oc'd???

    A high HTT (FSB) is no advantage with A64. 2700 is better than 2610. But what are your memory timings? Best is to keep memory timings as low as possible, and use divider to get the MHz up. Low memory latency and high MHz is the goal. My temps are 28 idle and 38 load per Motherboard...

    Do German DVDs play in USA DVD players?

    Can a DVD movie bought in Germany be played on my standard DVD player in the USA? We speak a little German and would like to improve by watching German language movies, but find very few here in the US. My son will be in Germany next month, so if there is a cheap way to do it, he will bring...

    DFI ultra-D and ram not working ?

    I have the same motherboard and the same ValueRam, runs great at stock settings. I got some OCZ 3200 Plat Rev2 (great stuff, but expensive) and it wouldn't load Windows until I raised the RAM voltage to 2.8 and slightly relaxed the timings from 2-2-5-2 to 2-2-6-2. With your Kingston ValueRam...

    safe fsb for an axp-m?

    My XP 2600M runs at 200 fsb very well on my Abit NF7 rev2. I usually keep it at 200x11, but it runs stable at 200x12. However, my XP 2400M will NOT run at 200 fsb no matter what the multiplier on my Asus A7N8XE deluxe, even using the memory from my NF7. Don't know why. Both are cooled with a...

    ***New*** Antec TX Case

    Correct. The TX1088AMG has is a mounting bracket for an 80mm fan attached to the front of the hard drive cage, and there is another one below the drive cage. This size fits the drive cage perfectly. The 120mm fan on the back of the case plus the 120mm fan in the included TruePower 480 power...

    ***New*** Antec TX Case

    In reply to: "One other thing I don't like about these cases is that in order to get to the fan filter (covers both front 80mm) you have to take the front panel of the case off. " Actually, there is no need to take off the front panel. The filter slides out through a slot in the bottom of...

    Quiet but powerful Case with PSU.

    With the same goals in mind, I picked up an Antec TX 1088 today. It is one of Antec's new line of cases, complete with the new design TruePower 2.0 480 watt power supply, which has the latest connectors and two 12 volt rails. It is quiet, too. $139 for a top quality case and power supply...
