    DDR on a standard T-Bird

    Yes, you'll be able to use DDR RAM with it. But only the PC1600 if you don't overclock the FSB. And PC1600 is terrible in performance. PC133 SDR RAM is better. However, if you want to run PC2100, then you'll have to overclock by 33%. Or you can try and manipulate the multiplier, but that...

    Performance delta of CAS 2.5 and 2

    How much faster does is RAM module, running at CAS2, in comparison to one that runs at CAS2.5? An *average* percentage will be great. Thanks.

    Sometimes, If you just ask nicely, you get it.

    Hmm, I had to wait 2 weeks before my DSL line was up :\ But I don't blame CS or Bell because my area is pretty desolate. @Home isn't even available here. The DSL lines were all full, so they told me I had to wait before they could install the line. However, considering that I get beyond their...

    Duron 955 + o/c 64MB GeForce2 GTS scoring like crap in 3DMark 2001 (1745 3DMarks) *UPDATE* Up to 3090 now :)

    Bleh, you know you want this to be asked ;P How'd you do it? I'm getting a V7700 myself.

    confused about KT266

    Yeah, I was surprised too. Probably going to announce it right as it ships. That way people don't lose interest over time, which tends to happen if you announce something far too early.

    A7V266 available!?

    Revival bump. The store said today that the board is on backorder. Hmm.. :\ Anyone seen one? Or can anyone direct me to a review of it? I don't care if it doesn't have benchmarks. I just want to verify that this motherboard is finalized.

    When are the A7V266 (Via KT266) and/or A7A266 (ALi MagiK1) coming?

    It's in Toronto though. Union Computers. 2107 Yonge Street (I think!). It's right at the corner of Eglington and Yonge St., which is north of the Downtown core. They're not friendly. Edit: For all people in Toronto (or near it), I wouldn't recommend buying anything from them until they finally...

    Wow! microsoft did a speedy replacement of my Intellimouse!

    Think Karna will ship me a new mouse? My month old Razer Boomslang 2000 is having creaking problems. :(

    When are the A7V266 (Via KT266) and/or A7A266 (ALi MagiK1) coming?

    Also, no, they don't have a website. I don't have a scanner to scan in the advertisement. I'll just say that the ad does say A7V266 and it's the most expensive motherboard they have. It makes sense yes? If it fails horribly in performance, then I've just wasted a $2500 DDR system as it'll...

    When are the A7V266 (Via KT266) and/or A7A266 (ALi MagiK1) coming?

    Exactly what I thought at first. But after talking to the store owner, the lady said that they'll refund my money if it isn't based on the KT266. And btw, the KT266 chips have been shipping en masse since mid January. Look at Via's site.

    When are the A7V266 (Via KT266) and/or A7A266 (ALi MagiK1) coming?

    I bought an A7V266 (and they say it'll be coming in within a couple of days). Dunno if it's legit or not. :\ It's not even announced by Asus yet. Not even at CeBit. It has me worried.

    Do You Think VIA's AMD DDR Board Will Be Much Better Then AM760???

    Well, V-Link certainly is quite competent. Look at P3 Via DDR chipsets (btw, the KT266 is just a P3 Apollo Pro DDR chipset fitted for AMD CPUs). Ie: Tom's Hardware's Apollo Pro 266 review Via's chipset can compete against the i815. That's quite a feat to be able to surpass Intel's own hub...

    Do You Think VIA's AMD DDR Board Will Be Much Better Then AM760???

    > With the 760, I don't know what's going to happen to make it obsolete. it can't be the southbridge, becuase the 760 is pin compatible with every Via southbridge today (probably tommorow, at least for the short term). The KT266 will be using a totally different North/Southbridge connection...

    Quickie: 7200 IBM HDs

    Hmm, according to one of the Firing Squad moderators, formatting is a completely different type of instruction than read/write. And that doing too much of it (think long term) can be harmful. And I did try to do a quickformat, but that didn't work and prompted me to format it. I also didn't...

    How much power do I need?

    Well, I can buy an Enermax 330/350 watt PS from a local store at https://shop.pccanada.com/sp_cases2.shtml. But they're not listed under AMD approved :(

    reformat or reinstall?

    /q is format's quick erase switch. It just tells your computer "Okay, I've declared this drive empty" rather than going through it all and emptying the contents. I'd recommend a good wipe of your harddrive. Reinstall everything then. Oh, and don't install an OS and then upgrade. Ie...

    How much power do I need?

    Hmmm... AMD says 300 watts if minimal. And I don't think what's listed above is "minimal". But then again, I've never dealt with power supplies until now, so I really have no ground to support my opinion.

    Video card recommendations

    Get the Radeon LE over the MX. -> you can software enable HyperZ -> you can 'overclock' it to a Radeon default -> better picture quality -> better performance (Radeon equivilent if clocked at same rates with HZ enabled) -> all that and it's still cheaper.

    Quickie: 7200 IBM HDs

    Well, the cashier said it was $208, but then I showed her the ad they put out. :) Anyway, okay, I tried putting the HD into my 430VX. Read ok. And the biox only supports 8 gigs max. That's okay too. I made the 8 gigs I could use into a partition, but I can't access the drive. Does this mean I...

    Well, let's see... A7M -> being recalled and AMD doesn't approve of it running at 266 Mhz FSB. AD11 -> great board, crappy availability and price. 7DX -> slowest one out there. M7MIA -> availability and slightly slow. that AOpen board (forgot name) -> Vaporware. K7 Master -> ditto. any MAGiK1...

    My Pioneer DVDROM spins for no reason

    If you mean when you open up Explorer the first time after a fresh boot, then yes. But then again, that's indirectly using the DVD drive since it's trying to read it. More details (ie: context) would be nice.

    Which DVD drive is best?

    Pioneers cost an arm and a leg. :~( I'll see if I can find any decently priced Toshibas. But if that fails, I'll have to pick one of those three. So which should it be?

    Yay, thanks! Hey, it is a 75 GXP :D Haha, I got a great discount on it too. I love it when there's a typo in the price. Especially when it lowers it and the cashier doesn't have a clue as to what the true price should be. Just in case you're wondering, I got this for $196 Canadian. Divide...

    Which DVD drive is best?

    Creative 12x, Sony 12x, or Panasonic 12x? I'm inclined to go with the Sony personally because they know how to make top quality hardware. But then again, Creative is involved in the computer industry far more than Sony is. But both Sony and Panasonic make nice DVD drives. :\

    Quickie: 7200 IBM HDs

    Are all 7200RPM IBM HDs Deskstar 75GXPs? I have a Deskstar 30 Gig 7200RPM IBM harddrive. But nowhere does it indicate what type of Deskstar it is nor if it supports ATA100 or not. So is it a Deskstar 75GXP with ATA100 support?

    DDR Question

    Okay... There're two things that are DDR in this world (available to most consumers). DDR memory, and DDR FSB. Your Athlon and KT133A board supports DDR FSB. Meaning that yes, you can use a DDR FSB T-bird (or as you'd call it, a DDR Thunderbird), and yes, you can couple that up with PC150...

    A7V266 available!?

    Oh man... I just had a thought overnight. The most reasonable explanation is that the store simply messed up their ad and it's actually an A7A266. That'd really suck :\

    A7V266 available!?

    Because all the current AMD760 mobos aren't too good :\ Oh yeah, I meant to say that I'm well aware of Asus' tech support negligence in my above posting. But Asus still outputs fast and fairly stable products.

    A7V266 available!?

    Well, I'd play it safe... if there were any other damn DDR motherboards here in Canada!! :( The A7M266 is selling at insane prices. I certainly ain't going for that. And nobody sells the FIC AD11 here. Nobody sells the MSI K7 Master at all. Nobody sells the Gigabyte 7DX... not that I want...

    Quickie: ATA100 HD compatibility.

    I have an old motherboard (430VX?) with P200 MMX and 32 megs of EDO RAM. I just bought an IBM deskstar 30 Gb ATA100 7200 RPM (for my upcoming computer). If I put it in my P200, will it work? Obviously it won't transfer at ATA100, but as long as it reads it properly...
