Don't laugh please...

Hi Kevin, I recommend you doubly sure that this heat sink/fan is designed for the Socket A - 462 pin processor. It should say so on the box. You are right - you can't afford to make cooling mistakes with Athlon/Duron processors - they cook extremely quickly. You may even want to get a cooler...

New Computer

I would not go for a Dell or IBM etc. IMHO you really pay extra for support that you don't need. Look for a good "recommend" neighbourhood shop that can assemble a custom system for you (with a decent warranty - 1-2yrs). Now on to the parts. If I were buying in June here is how I...

The Asus A7V133 Thread

It seem's like everyone in this posting - including myself - is a happy camper with the A7V133. I don't generally make final statements but for this board I will make an exception. This in most definitely the best, most stable board I have had the pleasure to own.

Not able to reach 1000mhz with blue core 850?

Somehow I don't think it's the pencil job. If it were bad it would work. But try and let me know how it works.

Best AMD kt133a overclockers board?

Switched from ABIT (2-3 reboots a day) to ASUS A7V133 - no reboots - no regrets.

Just got a ASUS A7V133 Made in China!!!

You are correct, because of politics, Taiwan is forced to call itself China. On the real topic though, just got my A7V133 a few days ago with 850MHz CPU. The highest clock I could get with CPU alone is 950MHz. Any out there with a similar config.

Are there brokerage fees with UPS Ground shipping? -- Canada

Yup, in Canada you just have to assume the position. :disgust: I have found it makes little difference to get stuff from the US if it's available locally. In addition if you run into problems at least it's less expensive to harass the supplier. :cool:

Most Overclockable AMD cpu?

Hi folks, I know that there are a lot of gurus out there. :o) I intened to build a second system, so I was wondering which MHz AMD would give you the most bang for the buck. And more importantly, is there a certain batch number or some detail to lookout for when buying. Thanks in advance for...

Poor Raid 0 performance?

Don't worry about UDMA. The HighPoint drivers already take care of this. Your problem may lie in a different area. Are you using ACPI. Win2k will use this by default and lump everything on one IRQ, therefore adversely affecting performance. Check this site out (under the BIOS section)on how...

DSL/Cable runners: Are you using a firewall? Which one?

One benefit people seem to forget about firewalls, is not just keeping hackers out but also sniffing out snoopware. Case in point AOL, RealAudio and all the others who keep transmitting information about you and your computer back to their servers without your permission. I found that...

Is this a Winmodem?

Before you make your final decision, just note the biggest difference between a "software" modem and a "hardware" modem, (as far as I am concerned), is that you need special drivers from the manufacturer of the modem for the particular platform you intend to run on. In other...
