It was an Ad Server exploit. They have deleted the old Ad Server and Database and have installed new. All should be fine now.

HS/F clips for FIC VG61 Ice Cube

I saw reference to that name when I googled the mobo, but no luck with finding any other useful info on it. The only info I could find calls it an FIC Ice Cube... I got the case and mobo/hsf as an afterthought because I bought some old stuff from a local business that was liquidating. The guy...

HS/F clips for FIC VG61 Ice Cube

It is a SFF cube and I only have around 2 1/2" of clearance to the bottom of the drive cage. It is indeed the standard Skt 478 mounting bracket, so I just need the clips. I did find a used (and fugly) all aluminum hsf at my local shop for $5, but I had hoped to use this one because it looks...

HS/F clips for FIC VG61 Ice Cube

I got this HS/F with a barebones P4 VG61 Ice Cube but the clips were missing. The heatsink has two side ledges so it appears that the clips should be a simple affair that just attaches to the standard P4 mobo bracket by clamping over the ledges. FIC no longer even has this barebones in their...

SKT 478 P4 temps question

Thanks for the reply. I found an obscure reference on the intel site saying that 69C is its max temp, so hopefully if I can keep it under the low 60's I should be OK. I reseated it with some AS5 I had in the old bin and am going to let it acclimate/cure at idle for today and then try running...

SKT 478 P4 temps question

I have an older very cramped flex-atx shuttle box with a heatpipe type hsf setup. I recently replaced the 2.53Ghz P4 with a 3.06Ghz/512k/533fsb HT P4 cpu, and noticed that at idle the bios shows mid-to-upper 40C temps and under load (one core thread gets up to around 80-90% and the other to...

Question about OLD SDRAM memory

CPU-Z? D'oh! I'm such an idiot not to think of that since I already have it installed on the desktop I'm currently using. I only sporadically mess around with my computers, so I tend to forget the handy stuff I used earlier. CPU-Z shows that the processor in there is a skt 478 400fsb...

Choice between two older P4 skt478 mobos

No, I have some old AGP cards and since it is PC133 memory and the slot is only a 4x AGP anyway its not like that mobo was going to support some serious gaming. It currently has the ATI RagePro 16MB it came with, and I have a Radeon 7000 and an old SIS315-64T that I can put in there if it needs...

Choice between two older P4 skt478 mobos

That was my thought too, but I like to get second opinions. I guess I can always find a PCI Video card if the DDR board needs a graphics update. Looks like that one goes to my kids... I'm not trashing the P4-1.6Ghz PC133 board, though, it will be a good upgrade to my brothers P3-450 that he is...

Question about OLD SDRAM memory

What I meant was maximum 512MB each slot, I should have clarified. I know that 256MB works, it came with one and I currently have 2x256MB in there now. Not that it matters, I think for a system this old 1.5GB is more than enough. I'll probably just run it with 3x256MB anyway once I get it all...

Question about OLD SDRAM memory

And it appears it depends on the board's origin and OEM use. The ASUS version manual allows 3x1GB. Since I have the HP version (narrowed it down to the Vectra VL420) its manual states 3x512MB only. When I go to crucial memory finder, it states that the max memory is 3GB, but then it has an...

Question about OLD SDRAM memory

Perhaps that is possible. I think I read online that it has a limitation that says it can use 3 sticks of PC100, but only 2 sticks of PC133. Like I said previously, I just took that stick out and replaced it with 2x256MB of some other (smaller, normal size) PC133 I had and it boots fine. I'll...

Choice between two older P4 skt478 mobos

The best one (using the P4-2.6Ghz) will go to my kids for the purposes stated above, the least one (using the P4 1.6Ghz) will probably go to my brother to replace a P3-450Mhz box that he is currently using. The lesser build will be for surfing and light word processing most likely.

Choice between two older P4 skt478 mobos

If you had a choice between using this mobo (P4B-MX) that supports 3x512MB PC133 SDRAM memory and has an AGP 4x slot (no onboard video), or this mobo (MS-6577 v4.1) that handles 2x1GB of PC266/333 DDR1 memory (only has onboard video--no AGP slot at all) which would you use? I have both boards...

Question about OLD SDRAM memory

I recently inherited an HP computer with a P4B-MX board that uses up to 3x1GB 168-pin SDRAM. It had one 256mb stick of memory, labeled as HP brand 1818-1851. When I tried to add an additional 256mb stick of SDRAM I had, it wouldn't play nice with it. What I did notice was that the HP stick is...

RDRAM help

Thanks, RM, I have already been to that page. I know that Dell plays tricks on their builds (at least they were back then when this was new) so I wanted to see if this far after the fact that anyone had first hand knowledge that the other memory specs would be compatible as well. I'm just going...

RDRAM help

Thanks for the reply. And I agree, RDRAM sux from what I've heard. I was hoping it would take DDR when I first saw the installed memory total upon bootup (I have plenty of that lying around), but looking up the service tag left me disappointed. I just can't understand why Dell would even offer...

Mobo/CPU compatibility?

Actually, I only paid $50 for the whole setup. A lady I met had a relative that got the barebones kit from shuttle and added the rest (years ago). I originally bought it from her to use as a PVR/DVP media box, but when playing HD matroska files cpu usage jumped to 100% and I got sketchy...

Howzabout this budget build?

So it looks like I'm in the ballpark, this board appears to be a bit beefier version of the one I mentioned (750<790), just without on board video. Definitely something to think about. Mucho thanks for your input akhilles, definitely appreciated.
