Well zeph I think I should eat crow on this one and say your idea is sounding more attractive as I look closer at it and since I can create a more futureproof system in the process. But I am more inclined to stick with Intel C2D tho.
So what it comes down to now is upgrading to a new Intel...
Well I'm not interested in upgrading my recently purchased vid card and moving to pci-e at the moment and since DDR2 performance is not worth it's weight in $$ starting from scratch sounds even less appealing.
I like the idea of C2D, seems Intel hit a home run with this one. Of the mobos...
Since AMD has slashed prices across the board on it's family of processors (See Here) and I have free time over the holidays I figure now is a good time to upgrade my rig.
I am currently running an old but well-loved Athlon XP-M 2200+ Processor with Shuttle AN35N nforce2 mobo & Corsair PC3200...
Thanks Bozo Galora... I will give those ideas a go but I have some new info that has come to light.
I just noticed under Computer Management/Disk Managment the secondary hard drive is listed but the entire drive is shown as unallocated. In addition, the secondary hdd is detected under device...
I am running winXP and have two hdds - one (master) being the boot/game drive and other (secondary) being back-up/mp3 drive. My PC crashed the other day while in game (contents on master drive) and when windows rebooted my secondary hard drive was no longer displayed under my computer. I find it...
Thanks OCNewbie...my local BB has loads of BFGs but all of them with the A60 sticker and multi-colored capicators. If I remember correctly I came across a post that someone with BFG showing both the A60 sticker and multi-colored capicators managed to unlock all 16 pipes so I was hoping I might...
Interesting you say to disable cmss - I have read that enabling CMSS 2 is one of the benefits of installing the EAX panel. I have a 2.1 system and to my ears mp3s sound noticebly brighter with CMSS 2 checked. Can you please elaborate as to why CMSS should be set to disable...
I believe Mik3y is right...Socket A produces little to no benefit however purchasing two smaller modules, as the article below points out, vs. one large module is often cheaper and has better timings.

How does the Fortron ATX350GU 350W ($20, newegg) stack up against the Fortron FSP350-60PN 350W (36$, newegg)? They have the same input range specs (115/230VAC).
Well I found the culprit and boy do i feel foolish. The RJ-11 was the problem.
I followed Jack's suggestion to connect my pc to the nid. To do so I purchased a long RJ-11 to do the job and found the connection speeds to be perfect. I then connected to another phone outlet in my home and yet...
Thanks Jack for that link, alot of useful information.
I'm using Alaska Communication Systems (ACS known around here).
Like the gentleman in the post - ACS sent a technician to my home while I was not there and reported to me that the line was normal. I had no way to verify if that...
Greetings everyone,
I have a DSL connection with 640k/320k caps. I am using WinXP on an Athlon XP system w/512 DDR RAM.
My problem arises from my DSL connection that slows to speeds akin to a 56k modem. The degradation of speeds occurs mostly by day and periodically at night.
Conversly, at...
With all due respect, I find that anything less than 72hz makes the text unbearably blurry with an analog hookup. Are you using DVI? That would explain things...

I know the first part of your statement is incorrect however is there any truth to the 1800FP being a BGR monitor as opposed to a RGB monitor? According to dell's tech specs this monitor's Analog video siganal is RGB.
Cheers!
Quick question that I googled and got me no where:
My electric outlets are really loose and whenever i plug anything really(especially heavier devices like chargers) they come loose and tend to fall out. I took off the plate and looked for something to tighten but nothing immediately leaps out...
The Daily Donation Page enables you to donate to a host of charities automatically with one click. Mind you, this does take alot of bandwith so dial-up connections should perhaps opt out. Any hoot, this is a easy way to pay it forward on a daily basis. :)

Quick Note - A few of the...
I have been following this thread closely because of the great application to my boot up times. One question I have is my cdrw & cd-rom under device manager are labeled as scsi when in fact they are ide. I notice during windows boot up both cd-roms spin up. Is this a normal boot up operation? By...
I tracked my boot and driver delays using Bootvis and found that at the "+12sec" mark the driver cdfs.sys loads for ~9secs before "releasing" control of my system. Among the various drivers that load, the cdf.sys seems to be my limiting factor and kills any hope of a speedy boot up. Interesting...
I am intrigued by this copper(Cu) versus aluminum(Al) debate and found this insightful passage at Amdmb.com:
If I understand accuretly what is being asserted from the above passage, since Al has a clear weight advantage over Cu and thereby conducts more heat then a heatsink with high in...
Very cool man :)
Can you post the specs of your Cpu/Mobo/Cpu fan/ and any Case fans as well as stable overclocking results with voltage, fsb, & multiplier settings - oh! that is if you do that sort of thing ... :P
Cheers!
I appreciate the comments thus far guys...the SK-7 seems like the best hs choice around its price point -- nearly matches the cooling effectiveness of the slk-800 with a siginificantly smaller price tag and not to mention the quality of a Thermalright product: See This Round-Up (scroll down a...
I'm putting together a new ovcerclocking setup which inlcudes an Athlon XP+ 1700 Thoroughbred (hopefully a revision B :) ) , Epox 8KHA Mobo & Panaflo H1a (Specs: 32.0dcb 39.6cfm @2950 RPM) as the CPU fan. Which of the following budget heat sink's(80mm) would y'all recommend for a speedy oc rig...
