Thanks for the info on TwinMos memory!
Its just that I hate to spend $72 for 256M of RAM when I got a Gig of it at PC2100 for the same price. I know, I know, you get what you pay for....
I just haven't tried too much tweaking - yet. Changing the FSB in BIOS to 150 was the only thing I have done and it increased it from stock 1.47 up to 1.67 - or thereabouts. I am still running the BIOS that came with it (1/29/03), as I have heard too many issues with the 3/5/03 and the like.
What I found interesting was that my 3Dmarks 2001 SE was 1,000 points higher when I ran the Crucial PC2100 512M, as oposed to the Samsung - in several combinations. Those two chips (PNY) were being sold as PC2100 on the PNY boards by CC but actually contained the PC2700 Samsung chips. I have tried several combinations with these RAM chips - one PNY, two PNY, one PNY and Crucial, two PNY and Crucial, different slots, etc., and the best score I achieved was the original with the Crucial. Interesting....
I am not looking for extravagent increases, just more bang! I did order a bunch of stuff from SVC last night to aid in the cooling of the NB and SB - plus, other crap for now and the future. But several questions occured to me:
1. What about the fan filters? Can's these be made cheaply at home? What materials should one use?
2. I have two, never-used, Golden Orb HS/Fan's from when I was going to add extra cooling (three years ago) for my P3's. Has anyone considered using this type for cooling a SB, or what I feel it might be a better fit for, the NB? They are heavy...
These are the primary ones. Thank you so very much for your patient counsel!
