Thanks for the advice for the OC, and solutions for the rarity of the E8400. I'm trying to do as little OCing as possible, none would be ideal, but if I'm missing out on a lot of power from something that won't harm the lifespan, I'll go for it. I'd probably run it on stock cooling for a while...

I haven't been much into the OC world, the few times I have tried I've always fried a motherboard or a CPU in a couple months. That being said, my rig finally gave out after 4 or 5 years, and it's time for an upgrade. For my new rig, I'm trying to find something quiet and cool, with as little OC...

Motherboard drivers are definitely installed properly. Didn't think about the VIA drivers, but I went ahead and got those installed. Tried it with the new radeon card and it still doesn't boot past post. Have not tried new NVidia drivers yet. I will probably just suck it up for a while and...

I'm having a lot of problems with my old AGP board, the Abit KV8-MAX3. I had been having some problems with my current video card, an XFX 6600GT nvidia card 128mb, and decided to upgrade a little to a newer radeon card, Diamond X1600 512MB. First, let me explain the old card's problem. Any...

I've been thinking about doing the same thing, but don't want to spend nearly 200 dollars for one. I was looking at either a 6800XT, 7600GS or one of the radeon X1300s, X1600. I'd like to just spend 100 dollars or so, sinc eI'm going to be making a core2 system soon, but I want a nice card in...

Just wondering if it were possible to go from a regular TV Coax to any of the multitude of inputs on the Dell 2405FPW. Wondering before I press the purchase button..

Ya, interestingly enough I'm on it right now having a grand time listening to music and watching videos...strange ya? Any ides how I can get windows to recongnize all these drivers?

I'll admit it's kind of cool to be able to say your computer has no devices, but it's also kind of nerve wracking. When I open device manager there's nothing in it. I had a recent bout against a few viruses, and after everything's clean, I get this weird thing. When I try to add devices or...

One reason I don't want buy the refurb mobo is because I don't want to upgrade my AGP video card, which I just upgraded recently. So what should I do with my processor, new keychain?

So yesterday I was at my computer when this ungodly screeching started. I turnedt the comp off looked inside and there was a stringaround my video card's fan. I took the string off and booted again and computer wouldn't post, after trying a few things I decided to reseat the processor and low...

Hmm, Oops, I guess I posted wrong...it's 2x 256 ram. For some reason when I bought it my friend was all hyped about getting 3 different slots and fill them with 3 x 256. But the abit board doesnt' support more than 2 dimms of DDR400...Long story short it's either 3x256ram @DDR333 or...

You're right, this is the old clawhammer with 1mb of cache. Definatly thinking of getting a new hsf. Maybe some better 80mm fans too, the ones in the back of my computer I picked up from a dumpster... ;) I'll probably just stay content with the 220 OC then, as it's really not going anywhere...

Ya, The ram was running at DDR200 at the time, just to see how far the computer would go. There aren't specifically "ram dividers" in the bios either, just gotta do math in your head to figure it out. Least that's what it seems like. Mostly though, using OS software that came with the board.

Been trying to overclock my computer, and as it stands, it's not getting very impressive. I've gotten it up to stable 220mhz HTT, but after that there's just no way to get it faster. On a full load it's got about 66c coming out of it, way too hot for me. Here are the rest of the specs and what...
