    So I installed the Pentium D yesterday and had no problem booting into Windows. The Pentium D is definitely significantly faster. Windows did completely freeze once while running Performance Test . After a hard restart I was presented with a BIOS message "incompatible processor detected press F1...

    Disable SpeedStep on P4 - faster or slower?

    just ordered one. Im I correct in assuming that if it fits the worst that will happen is that it wont POST or boot, and I can put back the old CPU if needed (it wont harm the motherboard)

    Disable SpeedStep on P4 - faster or slower?

    thanks! for a couple of bucks how can I not give it a try. Are those 2 links the exact same processor? I assume I can keep the same PS (305w), RAM and everything else and just slap some thermal grease on it and pop it in.

    Comparing graphic cards and understanding PerformanceTest results

    I have a really old WinXP box which is used for office work (word processing, Quicken, Web browsing, no gaming). The graphics card just blew up (Nvidia GEforce 7300 LE 256MB) and I need to replace it. I have several old PCI-E cards laying around and was trying to determine which would be the...
