    Biostar Tforce overclocking stories??

    With the socket 754 non m version I can get to only 268 FSB stable. I'm using a 2800+ with a mix of corsair value select cs 2.5 and Patriot Signature cs 2.5. I suppose 268 is probably average over the course of all 35 pages I have read. I guess memory is not my problem because I can go to...

    hard freezes characteristic of insufficient CPU fan? powersource?

    I switched the mainboards to a Abit Va-10, directron is good with returns.. And I replaced the original fan/heatsinks with something a little more powerful - http://www.directron.com/a4002d.html Now the systems are stable under most normal conditions. Loading up 3D Mark 2001 SE is still...

    Airlink AR410W 108Mbps Wireless-G router.. connects a max of 4 computers? expandable?

    I've had a week or two with this router and I'm pretty dissapointed. It's flaky to say the least in my experience-- particuarly if you enable anything other than open system with no encryption or access restrictions. It reguarly drops connections and won't reconnect. We're running 5 machines...

    hard freezes characteristic of insufficient CPU fan? powersource?

    I've built a few systems recently and they all have two things in common. One they are freezing up when the system is pushed, and two, they all have OEM duron 1.8 ghz chips with this fan/heatsink: http://www.directron.com/dp56j31c99.html At a glance I figured that would be a sufficient and...

    Integrated video on KM400 mobo (S3 Graphics Unichrome) poor refresh rate in windows?

    Is this typical of integrated video even today? I was dissapointed to find out that the onboard video on the systems I'm making with motherboards that use the km400 chipset produce this awful choppy lag when trying to drag a window in xp. Furthermore in xp's display settings I'm given...

    7200 RPM HD and 52X DVD/CDRW combo.. will see slowdowns with master / slave config ?

    Unfortunately I don't have a lot of prior experience to go on. My last two systems used a master / slave configuration as well. So perhaps I won't know if there is a difference unless I do some sort of benchmark between the two.

    Airlink AR410W 108Mbps Wireless-G router.. connects a max of 4 computers? expandable?

    seriously? so that is the norm with these wireless routers? they can conceivably support say 16 clients at once? Is the bandwidth, say 54mpbs or 108mbps shared between all the clients though? or can they each use the full transmission speed simultaneously.

    Airlink AR410W 108Mbps Wireless-G router.. connects a max of 4 computers? expandable?

    I'm setting up a wireless network for about 7 to 8 computers. I got in on what seems to be a great deal at Frys / outpost.com today. In store they had: these 802.11 G pci cards (normally 44.95 on sale for 15.99) I Bought 8. and this 802.11G router - an Airlink AR410W 108Mbps...

    7200 RPM HD and 52X DVD/CDRW combo.. will see slowdowns with master / slave config ?

    Can anyone think of any situations where I'm likely to see a perfomance hit when I have a 7200 RPM HD set as master and a 52X DVD/CDRW combo drive set as slave? For instance installing software? Like copying from CD's to the HD. Or how about when copying something from a DVD at the drive's...

    Better choice for budget PC?

    I'm building 5 or 6 computers for a family member who is starting a business. They will undergo the typical office load I suppose, with a little bit of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop along with anti-virus and whatever garbage his employees choose to leave running at all times. At his request...
