I did notice a performance increase with the fx-55... but I didn't leave it in long enough to do any tests except for the super pi test... 2M took 1:31 with a bunch of crap running in the background... I should be able to cut that down some if I clean up some apps.
It is a little warmer...
Yep, zv6000 uses standard s939 desktop CPUs. Looks like I can get all the single core CPUs to work.. well up the the FX-55... Now trying the Dual-Core X2s...
I am now trying to get a 3800+ X2 to work on the zv6000... So far I only get ONE CORE working... I have tried all the different BIOSs up to F.1C, reinstalled XP, REGEDIT. Any Ideas?
Jason
I don't think they made a .18micron(180nm) FX-55... (but hey I have been know to be wrong too) The FX-55 that I am using is the newer San Diego Core .09micron(90nm). I works very well in the zv6000...
Jason
I tried a 3800+ X2... Works ... kinda.. only shows one core... Tried all the different BIOSs, XP reinstall, Regedit,etc..... Looks like the only way X2 will work on the zv6000 - if HP releases a new BIOS > F.1C
Jason
I installed the FX-55 in my zv6000... and it worked!:D although the bios setup indicates it is an 'Unknown CPU'.:confused: Windows XP booted perfectly. Windows and CPU-Z both recognize the CPU as an FX-55 @ 2.6GHz. I also have a 3800+ x2....hmmm should I try it.....
Has anyone tried to upgrade their HP zv6000 notebook computer with an AMD FX-55? I have a HP zv6000 with a 3500+(s939) and considering buying the AMD FX-55 as an upgrade.. Think it will work?:confused:
Thanks, Jason
I bought a soyo motherboard and CPU combo with MIR. I mailed it in March 04 and finally got the check in Jan 05! I bought the combo through Tiger Direct. They really sucked. I left e-mails on a weekly basis to rebate@soyo.com and they did not reply to any of them! I also sent e-mails to...
I checked my Soyo rebate on the wireless router from March. I have been approved for my $50 since Aug 5 and still no check! Don't get too excited until you get that check cashed!
You can get GPS for pretty much any PalmOS or PPC. I have GPS for my Sony Clie TJ37 and it is great! The old version of Mapopolis(PalmOS 3.x) I find is better than the PalmOS5 version. I bought my GPS for ~$100US
I have a Sony Clie TJ37. It has WiFi, MP3, 310K digital camera, and Palm OS. It is great and you can get them pretty cheap. It was only $300 Canadian ~$230US. The unit itself is the same size as a wallet. I am a long time user of Palm OS. I perfer Palm OS over Pocket PC because of ...
I'll be watching. Canada will kick some US butt. Hockey can be boring to watch if both teams play "the trap". I think this game will be pure offense! It should be action packed and lots of great moves! Go Canada Go!
I bought a used MS FF Sidewider 1.0 at the local goodwill store for a $1. It didn't come with the AC adapter. I called Microsoft to find out where I can get an replacement. The lady I talked to said, "We will send one out to you". Today, I received a brand new MS FF Sidwinder 2! Free of...
I managed to get one. $40 with a 450 W power supply. and free shipping... The one I received was Brand New. Not a scratch on it. I guess I was pretty lucky!
I just picked up the chieftec aluminum silver with window and 450w p/s for $40 including shipping! Wow! I also got the foxcomm super server case TU 150 and 400w p/s for $42 including shipping! sure they are refurbs, but what can go wrong with a case except it get crushed... I have gotten...
If this is a 'My friend has this video card and he wants $38.99 ...' is this a Hot Deal? Post this kinda messages in General or Video. Not here!! I think this 'Hot Deal' is BS :disgust:
You can buy pretty much any of those allergy pills OTC in Canada. I use nasenex(Rx required - Health plan pays 80%) and it is alot cheaper than OTC stuff. :D
It is available on the west coast (Vancouver). Now do it buy it? hmmm... I have a ASUS 7700 Deluxe w VIVO(GeForce2 GTS 64M) Is the 8500LE better than the card I presently have? Hmm..... Must resist clicking the "BUY" button... must resist... Strength fading....
I wonder if I can also get in on this deal... In the application do you have to be a resident of US to open this account? I'm in Canada, but I have a US Mail box...
I have a couple of CAN$$ to blow... It is doing better these days!
Jason:cool:
Great Deals here! I picked up the Gainward/Cardexpet GeForce 2 Ti / 500 XP, 4ns 64MB DDR , VIVO, Golden Sample Plus for $79!! :) Ohh looks like its OOS now.. Ya snooze, ya lose. ;)
If you bought one of the Xircom Portstation from Tiger Direct, they now have the 10Bt module in stock for $9.99!
Xircom PortStation Ethernet 10BT
Now I have the whole set - 56K modem and the 10Bt!
Jason:)
This is super HOT if you can get one!! Hp calculator using RPN are the best! Once you get the hang of it, you will never go back to plain algerbraic calculators...
Jason:)
I remember those days playing ultima 1 on my apple II. And punching the notches on the floppy disk so I can use the other side.. 5 1/4 single sided single density were $45 for 10! ahhh back when times were slow and easy!
I don't think you need to apply it on both the heatsink and the cpu core. Just apply it on one or the other. I think if you were to apply it on both you would trap air in the arctic silver.
Run you monitor at the recommended maximum refresh, but don't got over that. It may cause damage to your monitor. I smoked a old NEC when I tried to get higher refresh rates..
I live about 25 minutes from the border. I have a US mailing address for all those US only deals and rebates! It costs about $100US per year but I easily make that back in rebates! Then you don't have to worry about using borderfree and their fees. I go and check my stuff about once a month...
I just ordered 7 so I get free shipping! total was $111.72... Hope this goes through.
**For Canadians that live close to the border..
Get a US Mailing address. Like from Mail Boxes Etc. Make sure they will sign for your deliveries. Get the stuff shipped there! Works for rebates too...
You know something is up when the addess is the same as the name!?! What happens when they move? change the name? If you order from these guys, you are just throwing your money away! Bad deal!
And looking around their site... I found this...About us? Looks like a prefab, fly by night...
You are right! I have saved myself at least $100 today!:D But I keep comming back... Is there a support group I can join? This is an addiction. I guess it could be labeled a disease too! I need help too!:Q
There is also Viking 128MB Smartmedia $70 after MIR and coupon A little more time and effort for name brand. 30 day warranty VS 5 year warranty. It is your call! MIR expires on June 30...not much time left. I just got mine a couple weeks ago! Don't have to worry about not enough room!
Jason
If it was a aperture grille tube, it would say so. It would be a good selling point if it was. My brother bought a Daytek monitor a couple years back and he had to return it TWICE for repairs! Each time they had it for about 2-3 weeks... I would not recommend these from my experience. But...
I would take the Adaptec 2940 over the Tekram SCSI any day!. Anyways there is no description of the Tekram SCSI card.. ISA? PCI? EISA? etc.. I would not get the bundle unless I knew more about the scsi card.
I know you are not getting "Crucial" RAM but you can probably get micron or similar ram for about the same locally. (at least here in Vancouver you can):D
