good god! thats pathetic. im glad i asked first.

whats the scoop with ibuypower? bad machines, poor customer service, plain junk? im looking to spend roughly $2000 out the door with 2 gigs of ram. dont need a hug hdd, dual layer burner, hd disc drive, etc. basicly i want a nice display, a lot of memory, a decent cpu, and decent gpu.

anyone heard anything about ibuypower laptops? i am in the market for a new laptop and want something with some gaming power. it dont have to be a world beater, im just sick of hauling my pc to lan parties to play battelfield 1942 (we stick to older games due to older laptops in the group). i...

I was recommended this game by a friend. It's totally kick *ss for a text based game and it's free. Criminal Country Description: You only Heard about Bad before... This is Criminal Country... it ain't a place for the weak.. You think you bad? You think you Tough? Prove it.. This...

another observation using SUPER PI I get errors running these settings: CPU 2247 (multiper of 9), HTT 249, Mem 204 (166 or 5:6 if you like) but if I run a CPU 2050 (mult 10), HTT 205, Mem 205 (200 or 1:1 if you like) I get no errors. I can even run CPU 2300 (mult 10), HTT 230, Mem 230 I get no...

So here is my question. I have seen some say you want to keep the HT link close to 1000, But why? I have mine to 1500 running prime with no problems. I benched it running my a64 3200+ @ 2409 htt 301 mem 200 with HT link x4 and x5 and didnt see much change. BUT, if it will run 1500, why not? Chris

3.70 did not fix my 239 post problem. So with that being said, I have to clock in windows. I just wish I could throw more voltage at my a64 cuz I know it will go muc higher than 2460 which is the best I have seen from it, but for the life of me I cant get back there. is there any other...

i have memtest on a bootable cd. new observation. If you move the HTT to fast or to much with clockgen, even within limits of tested and ok speeds, I get a lock up or a reboot. right now I am retesting my cpu, but doing it slower (1-2mhz HTT bumps) and on lower voltages. I am still stumped...

did everything with clearing cmos. still getting stupid reboots at slowe than it has tested speeds. maybe I should retest, but I dont think it will help. I think something is screwed.either my new bios version dont like to be played with or windows is having a problem having the registry played...

there is no jumper on this board, just a push button. I will do all as you said, but hold the button down for 1 minute. its worth a shot. But for now, im off to bed. been up 24hrs+ now. will post with results. Chris

I just had something new happen. this was really screwy. using clock gen to up my HTT 3mhz at a time while running superpi 32m test. cpu mult 9x, ram 5:6. Weirdness happened @ 241 HTT. Reboot (not realy weird here). post (this is where it gets weird) and my bios was reset. Everything was back...

one other thing, my HT link was @ 4 and @5 X when I was running my HTT @ 300mhz. So I dont htink that has anything to do with it. Chris

if you mean pushing the button to reset it, yes. I tried to start at a higher HTT than 239 and it would not post. So I hit the button. That was yesturday and just before I posted I got the weird video problem, then I rebooted and posted. Chris
