Prime95 errors

Confused- Thanks for the reply! I thought this might be the wrong forum- I did a search and did not find many references to Prime95 here. I guess I'll just use my system and see what happens. As long as it doesn't crash during my daily usage that may be all the stabillity I need. That is...

P4 1.6A overclocking

Thanks for the replies. I think it may be time to talk myself into a processor upgrade! It's funny, I can still remember when I took the plunge into a 350 PII, then 700PIII, now this P4. Each time it is amazing how fast the newer system is compared to the old. It seems no matter what speed...

Prime95 errors

I have been using Prime95 to test stability of my system. Does Prime95 test only cpu or memory as well? Do certain errors occur for specific reasons, in other words, is threre a way to tell what in particular went wrong by the type of error I get? Is there a way to get a 'snapshot' of the...

Buying/trading Windows XP

I recently upgraded to XP Home. After using it for awhile, I realized that I would prefer the features of the Pro edition. I contacted Microsoft to see if they had a trade-up type of program but they said the only thing I could do was return the software and purchase XP Pro. Unfortunately, the...

GeForce 4 reviews

About 1 or 2 weeks ago ( I think ) there was an article somewhere that had pictures of GeForce 4 cards that various manufacturers would be offering. Most of them had a pretty huge fan/heatsink on them. I think it also discussed some of the features as well. Has anyone seen this? If so, can you...

System upgrade- worth it to wait?

I am planning to upgrade my system to P4 in the near future. Will probably go with RDRAM memory. I have read that soon Intel will support 533 fsb. Is it worth it to wait for this? I have also read about the Northwood core being SMT or hyper-thread capable ( I could be using the incorrect...

Anybody still having issues with 3DMark 2000 not finishing the benches?

Renob- It bothers me also that there is something that crashes my overclocked system. The thing about it though is that my system, like ingenue007, runs UT, Quake, and all of my other programs without a problem. While during my normal use of my system I have no problems there is a nagging...

Anybody still having issues with 3DMark 2000 not finishing the benches?

I have a PIII 700 @ 933 and cannot get the benchmark to finish. I tried increasing the core voltage but that did not help. The only way it would finish was to take the cpu down to stock speed which makes the score useless since I wanted to get my score at the overclocked speed. So far this...

Technonut- When you say you reset your setting for 'Let Windows Manage My Virtual Memory Settings' do you mean you went from a fixed swap file size or was your virtual memory disabled? I will soon have 256 megs of ram and would like to know what your virtual memory settings are/were. Thanks.

Is anyone switching from Windows 98 to Windows Me?

Switched from 98 ( with all downloadable updates ) to ME. So far has been fine. Did a fresh install ( from the upgrade CD ). Seems faster but could be because my previous setup was upgraded from 3.1 to 95 to 98.
