What is a good MOBO for Athlon XP?

Thanks to all of you who responded. I think maybe I'll go with the Semprom 3100 & ECS combo, or some other combo deal since this system is really an older system that died. I already bought a replacement some months ago (Socket 939 & 3800x2), but I figure I'd try to recover this system to use...

What is a good MOBO for Athlon XP?

I had a Leadtek nForce2 motherboard that has gone dead (due to the well known capacitor problem). I've searched all Newegg to see if I can find another nForce2 MOBO but couldn't find any. Can anyone suggest a good motherboard for Athlon XP? Even better if you can suggest one from this list...

Memory question

Ok, I think I'll just sell my value and get new memory. What exactly is the difference between the OCZ Gold and Platinum? I'm seeing that the price is quite similar... I'm looking at: OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K OCZ4002048ELGEGXT-K

Memory question

Now, if I were to purchase the platinum (2gb), can I use it along with the original value memory? The original memory is still under warranty, so I'm going to either get them to exchange with good memory, or see if I can exchange/upgrade the memory.

Memory question

I have a few questions regarding memory. I currently have OCZ 2x1024MB Dual Channel Value Series memory on an K8N NEO Platinum (non-SLI). I don't overclock the memory and I really don't plan to. One of my memory went dead, so I'm planning on replacing it. So, my questions are: 1) Do I...

K8N Neo4 Platinum and 716SA

I've been having trouble with getting the plextor 716SA working with the K8N Neo4 Platinum MB. I basically could not burn any dvd/cds. The first thing I read was to change the device transfer mode to PIO. This did allow me to start burning dvds, but the performance was really poor... so, I...

reviving my PC

Thanks for the info and link... I'll check this motherboard and see if this is the issue. When you say 'in the power supply', do you mean I need to check for caps in the power supply?? Also, can someone suggest a good (reliable) and cheap motherboard for the 2400+?

reviving my PC

My PC that had been working for 4 yrs has started behaving poorly this year. At first, it was just rebooting/hanging occasionally, but now it is to the point where I can barely use it. I ordered a new PC, but I'd also want to try to get this machine back up. Is this type of behavior possibly...

upgrade processor or ram?

I'm currently looking at a system: Antec P160 PC P&C 470W MSI K8N NEO4 Platinum AMD Athlon64x2 3800+ 2GB OCZ Value eVGA 6600GT I'm wondering whether it's worth getting the x2 4200+ and 1GB of memory instead, opting to upgrade the memory later. Personally, I prefer upgrading memory...

power supply question

Thanks for your comments. Well, I've been digging through other posts in the forums, and it sounds like PC P&C seems to be as good as it gets... so what do you think of PC P&C Silencer 470W ATX 12V psu? I figure 485->470... not that big a difference considering I really don't have much...

My ibuypower Purchase Disaster

I ordered one from iBuyPower 4 years ago. When I received the system, I remember (although not too well) I had to reconnect some cables that came loose, and also found that the FireWire add-on card that came with the mobo couldn't be installed. I remember reading that you need to know a...

power supply question

I am completely ignorant regarding power supplies. I'm planning on buying a new pc from Monarch Computers since I don't feel like dealing with constructing a new one again. I'm looking at a K8N NEO4 Platinum (non-SLI), and trying to figure out what power supply I should go with. I've been...
