Sarc seems to be down. I can't get it to submit. Thanks anyway. By the way its listed in task manager as a Microsoft Diagnostic. Going there to search. Like I said thanks!
It is not as simple as all that. I would venture to say you can not build a comparable system for the same price or less. But You can build a better system for not much more. All the hot deals in the world cannot add up to the buying power of dell. And you must remeber to include software if...
Last night while browsing the internet, I noticed that my temprature had maxed out. The last time this happened I found I had a virus. So I immediately turned on zonalarm and I got 197 alarms that my computer was trying to access many ip addresses using a netbios name. I found a program named...
Get an 8 port switch and two nics for $65-70 after shupping. Go to pricewatch and search for "promos52" and leave off the quotes. Have several deals available 5port and 1 nic, 8 port and 2 nics, 16 -0rt and 3 nics. Search around. pcstop still lists them in stock although the promo supposedly...
You are very limited right now. I beleive that some of the slot boards allowed a max fsb oc speed of 110 mHz. To change the multiplier you will need a golden finger device. Do a google search for advice and use of the golden finger device and pricewatch for the device. HTH
set register 52h to EB. I actually think it is bit 7 to 1 but that returns a value of EB in register 52. HTH
The programs you need are wpcredit and wpcrset.
Oh and this is for an abit kt7a mb. Your board may be different.
My dss looks great on my radeon 64 vivo. It looks better than a tv. And the vivo cards are about $150 on pricewatch now (I think.) Throw a dvd drive in and hook everything up and it is really nice. HTH BTW the dvd drive is just for furter watching and not necessary.
Read their return policy closely. These people are not for the faint of heart or the newbie builder. But they delivered in one day to me exactly what I ordered at a very good price. In fact the sx1040 I got from them was the first time I had seen a retail box of the sx series. And this was...
If buying off the web try
www.microbarn.com
they have decent prices and are located in Raleigh. No retail store though. Put together this system through them. HTH
No they are not all the same.
Qualities of a good case should include:
1 Boards fit correctly (mb and cards)
2 Should be sturdy (flexing is bad but livable to a certain degree if never moved)
3 Good cooling
4 No blood should be involved.
5 Ease of use. I like drive rails. I like removable mb...
Seen this problem bfefore in some old epox boards. Make sure the floppy cable is not keyed. Since its not keyed it will go in 4 ways. 2 ways give the floppy light on constantly. 1 way the light will work right but give errors or not recognise disks. 1 way will work right. If you have it in...
To be safe use the 1040. The added pertpherals are nit that much of a deal but the nature of the athlon draws alot of current. There have been numerous discussions on higher frequency athlons needing good ps to be stable. HTH
If you lay the mb on a nonconducting surface and plug in the ps and necessary cards it would boot with no grounding at all. Some of the mbs (well most that I have seen) use the mounting screws as part of the grounding system called a ground plane to help in signal integrity. Its like the new...
The old head crash scenario where you had to go in and physically smooth (file or sand) disks is way gone. But alot of damage done now days is to the magnetic coating. With either the old aluminum or new glass disks it is usually no a gouge in the disk but the magnetic coating that holds the...
My SK6 needed to be lapped badly!
Then I suggest a half round bastard file. That should do it very badly indeed. Or maybe glue it to a car tire and drive for a while. That should do it badly also. :D:D;):P
For a stock setup I think mine is pretty ok. Antec sx1040 with 4 80mm fans and of course the ps. Swiftec mc 462a rev1. AT idle now surfing the net (acpi is enabled for the halt command) case is 25c and cpu is 26c. In any kind of 100% load situation the cpu will be 19c (maybe 20c) above case...
The ability to move heat is caused by a heat gradient. The larger the difference in temprature between 2 objects the faster heat moves to the cooler one. If the air inside your case is significantly above the ambient air temp outside the case and you are concerned about your proc temp (think...
Been numerous threads about trying to compare hsf on different mb and all but even on the same board there can be trouble. I personally think the best way to compare is using delta. At 100% load my mc462 runs 19c over case temp. Thats on a abit kt7a with the thermister bent for good contact...
I can't beleive the incredible nonsense that comes from somme people. Its obvious you do not know a thing about what your talking about. You have absolutely no clue... All advice is wasted on you... How could you possibly like q3 more than ut. :D As far as the amd vs intel thing. I build for...
If they don't fit don't use them. This is very important. I have already seen where somebody used them anyway and burnt up the proc real quick. HTH It was specifically stated in the install paper that came with mine.
If you don't like the price you paid at $63 buy 100 sticks at $50
1 stick $63
100 sticks 50
total cost $5063
avg cost $50.13
My wife saves me lots of money in this manner.
If you don't trust the numbers ask your wife to explain it to you.
Mine just explained it to me and I'n saving like $600...
Built a p3v4x and it ran a 700 at 910. Also built soyo 6ba+iv and 100 they both ran a 750 at 945. Make sure you have quality ram and it looks like you are about where you should be. HTH
My nine chip does 1560 24/7 and will run up to 1600 at 1.89. Chips can vary greatly from one to another. I happened to get one of the better nines that I have heard of. HTH
Have seen this before on different mbs. Could be anything from the 5volt of the ps being hosed to the bios being fried. You are not making it through post. Some things I have seen
cmos clear jumper in wrong pos
Bios flash gone bad
ps dieing
cpu not in correct
vid card popped out
usually...
Think I found it. If you use hdtach with advanced size check enabled it hoses your raid. I could bite the bullet and check it out and see if its safe to go back to 3c bios. I will lose the raid when I upgrade anyway. Have to think about that one. Anywho hope someone else is helped.
