thanks athlon4all for responding. do you know if i can just pop the chip in the mobo- or do i need to adjust any voltage settings? i'd hate to fry my new 1700 :( it's ok if it runs a little slow for now- i plan on getting a new mobo in the near future.
hi- i've been running an 800 duron on an ecs k7sem- i know not exactly high-tech- and i've ordered an xp1700 that according to ecs will work in this board. now i'm hearing that it won't? anybody running this combo or have any first-hand knowledge? is there any chance of damaging my new chip...
i just put a swiftech mcxc370 on my duron 800. it has a great clip system that uses all 3 clips on both sides and is very easy to install. it's also very sturdy and my temps went from 48-50 to 35-38. this is with a enermax 80mm adjustable fan running at the middle setting to keep the noise down...
my deer power supply committe suicide last week and took my mobo with it. i'm looking to replace it and i'm looking for one with a fast boot time- it kills me to wait for my machine to reboot. any suggestions would be much appreciated. btw- if my 800 duron survived i'll be using that for...

hi-
i'm using the onboard video on this motherboard but i'm thinking about upgrading to a real video card.
i'm wondering if it's going to be a big improvement and worth bothering with and if so what would be a good card to go with for not a lot of cash?
thanks!
i just ordered the 4922 from allsat.com- total including shipping was $38.90.
i can't wait to tell my cable company where to stick their co-ax.
anybody know when the $9 deal ends?
hi- looking for an inexpensive video card for mostly watching dvd's and occasional gaming. wondering if i will see any difference between the 200 or 400 versions, and the 32mg vs the 64mg?

hey gonzo- thanks for your reply! i have a duron 800 on a k7sem mobo. the manual says i can use 100 or 133 but it doesn't say anything about mixing the two. will it hurt anything if i try?
i love to upgrade but this memory is just sitting there staring at me! plus it's free and i can put it...
ooops!
i meant to say: i just bought a new motherboard and 256 megs 133 ram and i have 128 megs of 100 ram from my old system and i was wondering if i can use both, as long as the board supports it?
thanks for any info!
