Core colors?

The idea: Blue cores come from Dresden, and normally o/c faster because of copper interconnects (that right word?), and green were from Austin, aluminum interconnects, worse overclockers. Not sure if its true though.

Removing HSF thats on with superglue

Recently I took the heatsink on my KT133A chip off to put on some thermal grease, and to put it back on I put 4 drops of superglue on the corners. I would think slowly prying it off would be ok, but insight would be liked, thanks.

What's best Rain, Waterfall or CPUIDLE?

I believe Win2K and WinME BOTH have built in cpu-idle stuff to keep things cooler, so theres no need for programs.

Is Celeron 800 any good for playing 3d games?

new mobo=$120~ Duron 600=$45 Never forget about that, since duron tends to whoop the celeron2 in benchmarks, doesn't it? And the 600's pretty overclockable too, it it not? (corect me on this)

That 1.3Ghz thing could be true, since I havn't heard anything about it being 133MHz..and it couldnt be could it? If it is the same core, as compuwiz said, we know how the KT133 chip doesnt handle speeds beyond 100MHz very well...I might be wrong and probably am, if so, correct me! :)

I agree. MSI had it going for them, with the success of the Pro2 series and how they were highly regarded. I too was anticipating a new MSI KT133A board...but I've waited long enough. They dug they're own grave and its gonna be hard to get out of it(of course in the KT133A market only I mean!).

Win2k + overclocked system = no go?

All of you seem to be running Intel, or is the person with 700@1000 a AMD? If not I need some AMD peoples response

Win2k + overclocked system = no go?

I've heard Win2k has probs with this...I love Win2k for apps and game support is up-to-snuff but if its unstable...I'd haveto use win98..and win98 doesnt handle video editing very well (since 4gb+ files), any comments?

They're delayed...I think. I read over at some site that AMD forgot to include a spec and the KT133A boards wont be able to do 1.5GHz+...no prob now but in future wih Palamino...correct me if I'm wrong...

Should I get the MSI K7T Pro2-A or wait for MSI K7T Turbo(KT133A)

So with this new KT133A, can you use the current Thunderbirds/Durons or do you have to use the new kind?

MSI Pro2A 133MHz Bus Theory

well I know the board has some big capacitors/resistors (whatever they are)that make the board so stable...and I dont think you'd need a 133MHz cpu...KT133 chip for whatever reason was why the fsb could never really go about 107-110..not totally sure about this but I think I read it...

Next Generation - When?

Soon I'm building a new computer, but just need advice on the video card. Since the NV20 is coming out soon (Anyone know what month? I'm fuzzy on this) and is supposed to offer great improvements, I can't decide if I should wait and hold off with a GF2 MX, possibly GTS since they're getting so...

To complainers of Delta Black Label Fan's Noise

In my system, I've got one 120MM Sunon, 2 92's, and one 80. My HSF is a Hedgehog with black label fan. And YES it is a loud fan, but do to the nature of copper, on my baybus I just made a 7v/12v switch for the HSF. At 7v its about the same temp as full rpm but a managable decibel level. At full...

Does anyone have one of these and had it for awhile? You had any problems with oxidation? If so, does it affect temp much/at all? Thanks
