I recently bought a retail AMD XP 2000+ and I just installed Heat monitor. The program reads my cpu as 50-55 (55 being load) and my mainboard temperature as roughly the same. I was wondering if I should be concerned about this. The mainboard temperature can get as high as 52C on my Abit...

Hi there! My Compaq laptop broke down on me(fried graphics chip) and now I have a six pound paperweight. I was just wondering if there was any way I could use the laptop's lcd as an extra monitor or something like that for my desktop. I know this may seem impossible but I'm just wondering if I...
Hi, I have a DFI AK76-SN(AMD 761) motherboard that I bought about a year ago. Lately the northbridge fan has been making a lot of weird noises. It's hard to decribe but it's louder than my hsf. Do I really need the northbridge fan? I don't overclock nor do I have any plans to. Also, has anybody...
