    MSI Z77A-GD65 LGA1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I just installed my 3570k on this board. Not sure what the deal with the stickers for you guys but mine came off pretty easy. Just had to be a bit careful with it. I have an Asus HD 6870 installed and I'm not sure how to setup this Lucid Virtu feature. I tried google but couldn't find much...

    Intel Atom vs old Athlon XP, advice please

    Forgot to mention that I was also using Jdownloader and google chrome as my browser. I just restarted the atom 330 and it's a little better but it still performs slower than my Athlon 3200 XP for my use. Maybe if I upgrade to 4GB on the atom it will perform better. It's just that DDR2 SODIMM...

    Intel Atom vs old Athlon XP, advice please

    sorry about posting in the old thread but I just did a search and google and found this. Hard to believe that an Intel Atom will beat a Athlon. I still have my AMD Athlon Barton 2500 XP+ OC to 3200 XP+ which equates to 2.0ghz and that thing is a lot faster than the Intel Atom 330 that I have...

    Networking help... (AP, bridge, or repeater)

    Thanks for explaining that. I'm reading some reviews on Amazon.com and found this in one of the reviews "There's a switch on the back that allows you to select access point mode, standard router mode, or bridge/repeater mode. Looks like this router can do it all and I guess it can't...
