I have almost the same system you do: AthlonXP 2400 OC'd to 3200 and a gig of DDR400. The only real difference is that I've a 6800GT. I tell you this because I'm running Quake 4 at 12x10 with high detail and 2xAA and it's perfectly smooth. In FEAR with the same settings, 12x10 with most...

Nevermind.

The exact same thing has happened to me and I have yet to find a solution. I installed WinXP on my hdd without problems and then pushed the oc too far. The computer wouldn't post and so I cleared the CMOS. Then, when it booted I got an Error Loading OS message just as you do. I've tried...

I'm no RAM aficionado, but given that the ram is listed as Level II, plastered with Level II stickers, and black (the bluish purple bits are just the ram coolers), I think it's Level II.

I've looked at the FAQ about reusing LCD's and the process seems to require a controller for the LCD to intervace with VGA or DVI. My question is, aren't these things in the laptop? Doesn't the laptop come with some sort of controller and if not how does it work in the first place, some sort...

I'll be the first to say, spiffy!

I don't know how exactly you account for that, but the benchmarks stand regardless. Your 2.2ghz is equivilant to a 3.0ghz P4 in most apps/games. Why is another question. I'm not familiar with Pentium 4 based systems, but one of the differences that I picked up on from various overclocking...

I think that the DFI Infinity Ultra and the Abit NF7-S are the two most popular Socket A boards.

As long as you're not overclocking, and you aren't, the generic PSU should be fine. In other words, yes to your first question. As for the second, I don't know anything about any of those Asus boards. I think all nForce-2 based boards are essentially the same in that they all have onboard...

Well at the very least you should've suggested the Mobile 2400+ and not the 2600+. They're essentially the same thing and he's a kid on a budget. Still though, it wasn't bad advice. It was just given to the wrong person.

Remember though that to acheive a substantial and stable overclock you'll need to invest in a new cooling solution, ie. heatsink. Even after that though it'll still cost much less than a new 3200+ and could very well out perform it.

I'm a student living in a dorm so I've become used to gaming with headphones. They more or less block out all external sound anyway so it can make as much noise as it wants and I likely won't care. In fact, the more the better, as it'll annoy my roommate. So long as it cools enough for...
