AMD 2500xp M ... 1st overclock :)

What voltage are you running to get to 2.2GHz? I have a mobile chip but my board only supports DDR333 FSB and I can't use any multipliers higher than 12. Right now I have an XP-M 2400 running at a little over 2GHz @ 1.6v.

9600 PRO EZ vs 9600 PRO...what's the difference?

Hey, I was checkin' good ole' newegg for some video cards and I noticed that they had the 9600 PRO EZ and the 9600 PRO. The only difference that I can see offhand is that the EZ version has 400mhz memory while the standard PRO version has 600Mhz memory? Is that a misleading product title or...

is the RC5 project dead?

I could also see RC5-72 being useful for old systems. For instance, I have an old ppro 180 laying around that is too slow to complete a lot of F@H projects within the deadline. However, it can crunch rc5 and still turn in work units without going beyond the deadline. Other than that I don't see...

is the RC5 project dead?

I was just looking at some stats of the active users for RC5 today and it was only a few thousand, far less than it used to be back when RC5-64 was still active. I also realize that the current 72bit project will take forever, literally! Does anyone here run RC5 anymore? As far as I know it was...

problems ripping CDs....OS issue with drives?

I'm posting this in the OS part of the forum because I think it has to do with the way XP sees my CD drive. If the mods have better plans for this post feel free to move it elsewhere. :D My issue is that whenever I fire up EAC or a CD burning program they recognize my drive like this. I have my...

XP won't see my Plextor

The CD drive does not have a letter mapped to it when I go into Disk Management. In fact the drive is not even displayed. Its as though the rest of my computer can't see the drive, only device manager reports the drive as functioning. Nothing else seems to be able to talk to it.

Yep, tried that, just for the hell of it I removed the drive and the IDE controller after I uninstalled the nForce2 drivers. I let windows redetect both the CD drive and my IDE controller using the non-nvidia drivers that come with XP. Still didn't work. :frown:

2k server generating some weird traffic

No, I'm pretty sure I'm not hacked, I am behind a decent linux firewall. I think the above has something to do with win2k DNS as all the traffic generated on the above IPs is on port 53 (DNS). Is there a setting that I can enable within win2k DNS that will disable this traffic?
