I probably want to run an AMD processor. Please tell me what the best bang for the buck. I want something that runs all the new games. I don't want to spend a lot of money, so I want the best deal.
I found something, but it sure doesn't appear to be a combo. I can't really get that for the add. It looks as though the Motherboard alone is $69. here is the link:

The CPU looks separate at $73

I would jump on them both for $69, but I just can't find it.
Thanks Sm800 for the info, but i just want to run a higher CPU for now. My current is a 1700 and I want the fastest one for the K7S5A. If an XP 2600+ in the largest, then that's what I need to get. My son needs to run Quake 4. Which specifys a 2GHz CPU or XP 2000. I just don't want to...
My DRAm is currently 133. About a year ago I went with a bios flash from OTC. It is Chep Bios 1.21.11 beta. It has worked flawless. It has a lot of setings:

100/133
133/100
110/100
110/147
112/112

Thank you very much Peter and SM800! If I get a new motherboard, I just want to start over with the Ram and probably a new video card. The most bang for the buck is what I want, not the latest most expensive thing.
I need to make it run Quake 4 and it is currently running an XP 1700. Please help me pick a CPU and tell me where to get the best Bios flash.
Also, what is a good choice of new motherboard and CPU? I have been pleased with the K7S5A. I am looking for the updated equivalent of what the...
I have to send my laptop back to have it repaired and I need to back it up to a USB 2.0 external Hardrive. I need to make an exact copy from the laptop drive to the USB drive. I was hoping there was something free. I think ghost 9.0 will do it but I was hoping that there was something at...
So, if I get DVD Shrink and Nero Burning Rom (I have Nero 6.3.X.X), this is all I will need? I will be able to make a backup of anything that has come out so far?
Is DVD SHrink Free? Will it make a disk to disk backup?
Which version of the Platnium has the ripper, and which version does not?
Maybe there is a better program then DVDXCopy. I hear a lot about DVD Shrink. Which backup programs will back up anything? Is DVDXCopy the only one to battle in court over the copy protection issue? I need...
I have an HP EZ4610US. Windows say it has an XP 2500+ running at 519MHZ. Wintune confirms the 519MHZ. The bios says it is set at 1826. I have updated windows and flashed bios. Still Windows says it is at 519MHZ. I cannot change the cpu speed in the bios. It is automatically set at 1826MHZ. Can...

I know of at least two other people who have this same problem. When I change CDs, my computer stills wants to read the one that I removed and not read the one I put it. Sometimes I can reboot and get it to read and sometimes not. The CD drive reads as if the previous CD is in the drive and I...
I usually dont buy a motherboard with all these things built in, but I need something simple for my sister-in-law. I need to upgrade her Gateway PII 300Mhz. Looks like it's a standard ATX and I will have to get a CPU too. I perfer using a Athlon XP CPU. Price is an issue so I want to get the...
I have a PC133 512MB and a PC133 128MB that are dead. I can't remember where I got bought them. They are supposed to have a life time warrenty. The 512MB has an ITC sticker on it and has Seitec chips and also the numbers PC133U-333-542-Z. The 128MB has a YC sticker and YC chips. The...
It was the memory! I had two bad sticks. When I tried a third, it worked. Every computer I put those two bad sticks of memory in, would not boot. Thanks guys for all the help! The bad news is the memory cost more than the motherboard. I think the memory has I life time warrenty if I can...
Wow! I put the motherboard and CPU in another computer and that particular board works now! However, the motherboard I took out is having the same problem and it too is a K7S5A. I checked the CPU in another (1700 XP) and it works in another computer. So now I have another motherboard with...
I have reseated the ram and videocard. I will check to see if the MB is grounded. I hope it is the CPU because it is under warrenty.
The first time I noticed that something was wrong, I was trying to hook up a second hardrive in the place of the zip to backup my system. After this the...
I think my motherboard is blown. I have taken everything out but the floppy and the video card and it still won?t boot. I have tried a different video card, floppy, and a good power supply. The fans all work, but no picture and no beep, just darkness. I tried clearing the cmos also. I am...
My Father-in-law passed this information along to me that he found at microsoft. Could this have anything to do with my situation?
