258 re amd k iii and motherboard michael scrivo hi joe  i can try to answer some of your questions first all doubt a board with pci slots isa even exists it's hard enough find alone because you need two bridges so its extremely rare if do pci's it will most likely not have any at there is just no room definitely system resources irq's handle that secondly outperform the celeron pentium iii's same clock speed in business applications integer performance but games don't take advantage dnow falls far behind p thirdly upgradability super severly limited probably only be able go as or mhz they higher now focusing on atlon cpu want killer should look instead mike

414 celeron athlon or piii jeff hey all  hopefully i'm getting a new computer for christmas and im trying to decide something i have budget of anywhere from hope was wondering if should go with an along this most will say right off the bat but do that means more expensive mobo ram because its pickiness save around bucks could towards better on system speakers video card etc so what advice would you hold out price cuts schedule th like get it one other thing dont really care ppga there now is viable option buy bx rev abit then just those slot converters in order use any suggestions be great youre looking put together please check my site some info 
416 re celeron athlon or piii jeff any idea of how much the frame rates etc will take a hit over i dont want to mention here because know it simply slaughters just about everything at same clock speed id ideally an system but prospect trying get thing work first time doesnt make me feel too well also depends on good santa thinks ive been this year 
419 re vs michael scrivo from the benchmarks i've seen i chipset has equal if not slower performance than bx in most applications sdram combination is really worth getting because it just stinks rdram version a little more worthwhile possibly when apps will need higher memory bandwidth but as of now prices are way through roof and much safer purchase think besides boards their fourth generation you would never want to buy first board unless run into lots problems  mike 
417 looking for a bunch of suggestions jeff if you couldnt tell from my last post im putting together machine that hopefully i can get christmas ive been really good this year and it basically still comes down to money so was hoping could some on the following things  creative fps there is about diff in price worth kenwood truex x huge difference between two guess thing would come video card dont want be jipped here thinking going all way with diamond v tnt ultra which more than rest like s rage fury amongst others any guys above most possible out system around bucks or just suggest range cool too pricing pricewatch usually oem w o h 
418  vs raymond i'm in the market of for a new motherboard looking upgradability and speed have been at several bx asusp f etc almost made purchase last week however just found out asus is coming with chipset board p c my question there significant difference between technology or rdram sdram price few 's worth it if are thank guys 
420 re celeron athlon or piii david well i haven't heard many good things about and the pentium iii is hideously overpriced would go with in this case spite of extra few dollars if nothing else fast enough to let you skimp on ram for another month so while save up just upgraded my system am very satisfied 
421 re celeron athlon or piii david about the athlon's ease of install i just upgraded to an and it was easiest processor upgrade i've ever done even recognised my agp video card right off bat maybe lucked out on first try but think you're fears istall are unfounded 
422 video card debate david i have to disagree with you on your assessment of the voodoo it is cheap and fast but bit color argument present hold very little water there are currently few games which even support leads me belive that only assuming will look worse never actually having seen screen shots these cards side by in my personal experience still best for average gamer combining reliability speed quality price do agree other can outdo personally don't think it's worth tossing extra 
423  bit vs grant salmon unreal tournament quake nocturne every game released after this christmas mean these things nothing to you i'll agree at the time there were very few games that used color many people will probably forgo because of frame rate hit i have different tastes twenty frames per second is enough for me and can't really tell difference thirty if buy a snazzy new video card blow it want two from consistent fps greater beauty cheap price don't feel upgrading voodoo worth much only advantage has over speed damn thing's not even true agp can run current with my on mhz k so poor investment carry huge detailed textures lighting or something reasons i'm are as follows setup taking up too pci slots desktop image quality having compatability problems need tv out in hardware dvd i've actually discarded g possiblity looking like an ati all wonder rage fury pro add however side note cool gameplay spiffy graphics being light pathetic no matter how look know bought stupid what i'd get be offloaded physics processed cpu alas sell do developers never heard deformable terrain about penetration location specific damage function form dammit merely aggravated by improvements architecture aka gpu process lot polys but static ones t l without aforementioned items one good thing say geforce allow large forests outdoor environments improving through environment bad trees take nuclear explosions mud ground made adamantium 
424 dma daniel herrera me gustar a saber como debo programar el controlador del para realizar una transferencia memoria trabajando en borlandc sin utilizar las api de windows  gracias 
425 re dma michael scrivo translation  i would like to know as must program the controller of make a transference memory working in borland c without using api windows thanks 
426 re celeron athlon or piii james jeff given your budget constraints i'd take a hard look into motherboard combo offering i saw an abit be ii bxboard w ata and guarentteed to do mhz for around at sunshine star that's tough beat price performance ratio  the extra instructions in help frame rates little on games written advantage of them but chip with same is going cost you use dollars you'll save more memory better video card way ahead game no pun intended jdd 
427 re celeron athlon or piii michael scrivo great advice 
428 gravis xterminator cleanup joe kelch hi all  anyone know how to crack the case on above controller son spilled orange juice it removed six screws but something is still holding together at bottom thanks

441 re cant get computer to boot michael scrivo did it work at all any point after you bought or has been this way ever since took out of the box if have another video card i would suggest trying otherwise guess that you're motherboard is fried and you'll replaced mike ok last night ive tried lots stuff still moved ram around switched positions pci cards everything cept cpu loosened some screws on mobo nothing starts up put doesnt post hard drives spins then sort peters im lost what do here

444 best stuff to oc a celeron jeff hey all recently i am getting very interested in buying and oc'in the thing as far it will go was looking for some suggestions which celery processor board cooling fan etc im kinda stay low end here but sorts of thanks 
445 re best stuff to oc a celeron michael scrivo any is pretty good choice because they only differ in clock multipliers keep mind that the higher multiplier lower bus speed you must use 's are decent number of them will reach with cooling also you're very likely get an mhz or as far fan's i would say global win fdp its huge cheap and does heck job motherboards go suggest getting slot motherboard slocket coverter so can easily upgrade your system coppermine later on without new board brand name but for overclocking abit's boards soyo's sy ba iii iv msi's ms pro if want run dual celeron's grab bp mike 
446 re best stuff to oc a celeron jeff the 's are pretty good choice because decent number of them will reach with cooling also you're very likely get an mhz bus or what kind would you need globalwin fan heatsink be enough we talking peltiers about how high can those go and if set mobo fsb speed anything other than wont that mess pci agp cards is this becoming less problem one more thing chances now getting crappy cpu well i know earlier on some crap out thanks mike for takin all time answer questions sometimes it feels like im only who posts here hehe come guys post 
447 re best stuff to oc a celeron michael scrivo what kind of cooling would you need reach mhz the globalwin fan heatsink be enough or are we talking peltiers about 's how high can those go yeah fdp get if processor make it that for example i have c will with and runs fairly cool but refuse unzip large files works everything else including games so mostly depends on good cpu not set mobo fsb speed anything other than wont mess pci agp cards is this becoming less problem well sometimes especially fsb's board's like soyo sy ba iv they implemented auto clock divider which keep your bus between no matter choose even most part devices handle few hard drives run fine tnt often trouble at speeds over geforce's wonderfully one more thing chances now getting crappy very know earlier some crap out celeron's today better ones in days any you'll likely pretty without problems then again could really lucky great unlucky bad cheap price isn't much gamble thanks mike takin all time answer questions feels im only who posts here hehe come guys post 
448 re best stuff to oc a celeron jeff thanks lot mike you guys do an awesome job on the site one of first ones i was loyal and still am before found all other big name keep it up also does anyone or even hehe have any suggestions as what card that could get for around bucks would with todays games such quake iii tnt cheapy thinkin cutting back comp extras splurging ddr geforce this system too 
449 overclocking be ed franks howdy thanks for your review of the i have a with piii tried to bump up clock speed mhz in soft menu save exit but board dosent accept it am missing somthing or is on not poss i'd very grateful any help advance 
450 re overclocking be michael scrivo hi ed i think you're trying to change the clock multiplier which cannot done on any intel's chips for last years you must front side bus speed from mhz something a bit higher and leaving x same in soft menu custom use as try or that should give respectively p 's are known run well at so if want brave out mike 
451 re best stuff to oc a celeron michael scrivo thanks lot mike you guys do an awesome job on the site one of first ones i was loyal and still am before found all other big name keep it up for compliments we free would be nice get some money but unfortunately don't also does anyone or even hehe have any suggestions as what card that could around bucks with todays games such quake iii tnt cheapy you're tad limited perhaps m price like guillemot maxi gamer cougar i'd splurge full ultra if can thinkin cutting back comp extras splurging ddr geforce this system too well know worth components are extremely important example already should good monitor will much more enjoyable than shit you'll want at least mb ram decent sound so decide go low end

486 re problems with diamond mx michael scrivo new drivers won't ususally fix intermittent sound like you're having in case i'm guessing you have an irq coflict check to see if any devices are sharing not then might format and reinstall windows i seem remember a problem very similar this could for the life of me figure out what was causing it looked aureal control panel applet saw that card would be opening numerous streams but never closing them which is why play sounds just did clean install has happened again mike well finally got celeron boot had replace motherboard now im above sometimes will recognize othertimes wont when load up games itll kill idea how newest maybe

571 re athlon tnt and win michael scrivo the only thing i can suggest is move up to se you should not be running with that kind of system unless have some specific reason for doing so 
572 athlon troubles dennis toland a friend of mine after being impressed with my current system finnaly decided to update his machine better i've got fic sd mb ram v k agp video card has the same specs except that he's mhz problem is i out perform him running games drivers on cards everything can think and we have no idea as why one thing does puzzle me it says unknown amd processor boot up we're both pretty amature so if there's something basic missing please let us in p 
573 looking for a mobo justin rogers hey i'm dual pentium iii motherboard that will run into the mhz processor range and pc ram an agp x slot would be great add on i have some dma hds fit this machine also soyo d iba board supports fsb speeds up to clock multipliers go believe is it considered overclocking high end chip at proper levels even when doesn't say in manual because ba iv does cpu ration could throw or though isn't designed 
574 re looking for a mobo michael scrivo the dual motherboard you should either go with i bx board or an wil run lot more money though because of rdram but it does have agp x and ata would suggest something from tyan supermicro d iba will most likely support higher cpu speeds check bios update your last question if you're asking whether can put p in sy ba iv answer is yes i'm running mine at mhz 
575 geforce dacota just thought you guys would like to know the newest soyo ata sy ba iv will not work with card its being promoted as answer abit be ii over clockers dream but by there own tech support admittance it a i have creative annilator pro ddr and was running well on asus p b mb decided change mainboards for clock capability locked every time tried run video intensive program e games benchmarks dmark win boot up after several calls their in california alot of around they admitted dosen't wish that been box think notable so called hottest mainboard won't top line home com 
576 re geforce michael scrivo ummm i've been running the soyo sy ba iv with elsa erazor x ddr for many months now without any problems so you're statement is incorrect it may be a problem specific to your system as soyo's technical support well maybe they could use little more training 
577 re athlon troubles jeff his could be a mock possibly thats about the only thing i can think of maybe youre ram is better brand or something kind odd except that unknown 
578 re geforce tech support jeff rediger i've been running the annilator pro ddr on my soyo ba iv for many weeks without any glitches view of people is that those talked with either i knew more about issue than they did or were reading from a script and could would not exhibit flexibility inthe conversation so consequently had to pretty much be own person

601 pc mem ok steve hi i just upgraded my mb to the soyo sy ba iv and reviews on it say is an overclocker's dream i've never seriously considered overclocking before but this new board seems make very easy do so since processor 'slow cheap' these days don't have as much loose now by trying a pii with meg of memory will be problem if not what can expect out tnt 
602 asus geforce t wertman i just purchase v deluxe agp video card and cant get it to work right is very slow when try play vcd or dvd any games they keep stopping starting the screen keeps flickering my monitor supports display settings everthing seems be ok got model for editing but this part either input will only run at fps money spent junk old a mb starfighter better than tried different drivers with no luck reply from have abit bh motherboard celeron can anyone help thank you 
603 re asus geforce michael scrivo i have not tried the a on bh but it could be that does supply enough power to agp slot geforce's max out specs and some boards do provide consistency is required has anyone used please let us know if worked for you mike 
604 re pc mem ok michael scrivo should be fine for anything below mhz and most of them even work at or around the processor is going to limiting factor in your case correct me if i'm wrong but pii uses a bus so you're ram probably already running over spec any you won't able go much higher with they don't overclock all that well may get i doubt you'll than mike 
605 re aopen vs transcend michael scrivo doesn't really matter it just depends on which motherboard has better features is more well known and their bx boards are for stability as far the processors go there isn't much difference between but may be able to overclock higher because uses mhz bus instead i would get a p coppermine it's worth extra few dollars will you easily mike 
606 re anthlon asus v michael scrivo the card will have to be set work in agp x mode i believe this option might bios or you need a program do it mike 
607 re asus p a b agp tnt problems michael scrivo i believe that board uses the aladdin v chipset which has some with cards like grab latest nvidia from www dchipset com and install them along ali drivers come package hopefully this will fix your problem mike

610 re pc mem ok michael scrivo that's right i knew they made the transition somewhere around there since it's your possible options are x or mhz don't think you'll be able go much higher and lucky if you get let me know how it goes mike 
611 wont boot up dy could it be i have a defective board put together system from scratch and tried everything just trying to with memory video card having sound guess the biggest problem is my screen doesnt even come on different cards other computer monitor they work fine but if try soyo nothing am missing something here help

621 re athlon sd shelby the new power supply that i bought was on amd recomended list and is w 
622 re athlon sd michael scrivo maybe the processor is getting too hot it retail or oem if it's does have a decent heatsink fan on this and poor power supplies are only two things that i've encountered cause system to reboot for no reason anyone else any ideas 
624 re cool case bioman while the price may make youy pause quality of amk cases are excellent lots options good airflow fan placement design i own oc and have been very happy with it v block option for vibration dampening also seems to help sound though came so no before after comparison possible all told seen other out there a comparable setup more money but these not what would call cheap luck

642 re nec zip drive on cold boot michael scrivo that is very strange one suggestion i have if you haven't already tried in the basic bios setup screen try setting corresponds to auto doesn't work none 
643 re nec zip drive on cold boot r mulders the message press f4 to skip is displayed when setting in bios setup screen auto i set it none then nothing and my computer just hangs refuses find strange that will normaly after a warm reset recognized works properly also funny hdd activity led stays until drives are this was not case before bought 
644 re nec zip drive on cold boot michael scrivo how many ide devices do you have should try putting the other channel depending which one it's now or even it own just to see if works its otherwise that doesn't work can exchange and get another does same thing 
645 re nec zip drive on cold boot r mulders my setup consists of the following drives primary master is a fujitsu 10 4 gb harddisk slave none secundary aopen 36 x cd rom i have tried alone both ide channels with hard disk and removed just to see if conflict other get same results even flashed new bios from version 1010 1012 recognized first time but it failed work that why asked experts for some advise 
646 re nec zip drive on cold boot michael scrivo how are your jumpers set up the i remember that even if you to slave it never worked properly for me only way is removed all know said you've tried every jumper config but try removing them haven't already other than can't think of anything else can do personally used a p2b before have p3b f with there was an option in bios setup somewhere allows choose type device connected master or ide channel and work had hard believe since older model don't has this still seems strange would reboot get

649 re compaq cpu michael scrivo unfortunately it is a bit more complicated than that the motherboard in your current system will most likely only be able to support up pentium 233 if all new cpu's not even fit socket of because they have different pinouts changing may difficult as well case you an at since were 133 age which means you'll probably find with style can good one are atx nowadays alredy then you're luck reason i hate large manuafactures like and dell use bunch proprietary stuff there systems makes impossible upgrade them using standard pc components so uses power supply styling motherboards properly or won't required connectors connect board by way i'm sure how tell but on pc's distinguish vs connector atx's white piece 2 pieces usually black finally check what kind ram it's old 72 pin edo accept sdram modules another consideration should keep mind see expensive would say buy completely least part monitor keyboard mouse etc plenty guides out put together give recommendations for cheap mid high end really hard build could just try machine lot hassles deal legacy standards bull shit perhaps option companies such evergreen offer kits where plug their modified don't do anything this speed increase nothing near had built from scratch

652 re abit slotket vs iwill slocket ii michael scrivo they are both great and do the same thing so either way you should be ok but might as well get one just for reason stated compatibility all supposed to work can sure a company has tested more with their own boards than have other manufactures

682 new intel motherboard chipset mike orlikoff i would like to buy a hot computer for gaming does anyone know when will release the successor 820 i've read that isn't much faster than 440bx and am willing wait latest greatest if it doesn't take more 6 months any ideas thanks 
683 re new intel motherboard chipset michael scrivo well boards based on the i815 are starting to float around was supposed be successor because it supports pc133 sdram no rdram agp4x and ata 100 comes quite close in performance but still doesn't beat bx i820 is i820e i believe don't know what will like that one not support at all only other than you'll have wait for next generation of chipsets cpu's namely williamette mike

692 slot 1 or socket 370 jaw seng i'm thinking of getting a new processor motherboard is better what are the pros and cons thanks 
693 re slot 1 or socket 370 michael scrivo in the terms of motherboards there is very little difference between and boards they both use sames chipsets have same features etc just different processor interfaces when it comes to all new celerons are only available pentium iii's but on most recent smp dual capable whereas ones i personally like getting because you option using a cpu by means converter card some people noted that processors don't overclock as well still pretty hope this helps mike

698 asus k7v cornfed i'm going to buy a mainboard does anyone has some information about equivalent boards or why i shouldn't this board if its good you can mail me too thx 
699 re asus k7v michael scrivo i think the only reason anyone wouldn't want to buy this board is because it uses older via kx133 chipset instead of new kt133 chipset. problem there that apparently does not work well with athlon thunderbird processors and at all duron's. if you old 512kb cache athlons then it's an awesome nothing bad about it. mike 
700 re asus k7v cornfed thnx for the first answer are there boards from out yet that use kt133 chipset because i intend to buy a 750 - 900 mhz processor in about months time 
701 re slot 1 or socket 370 fm the choice is a matter of preference. each will do fine. some slot1 boards not fit in smaller cases where power supply directly above your cpu socket. industry leaning towards socket-370 because they're cheaper and more efficient. for now either 
702 re 5200 vs 7200 rpm fm it will be one of the best upgrades you ever do. when getting a 7200rpm hd try to get that has 10gb platter such as diamondmax plus 40. i don't know exact details on why but they're faster than smaller disks. 
703 re 5200 vs 7200 rpm michael scrivo yeah that's the exact same drive i got .. it's very fast it even rivals beats some scsi drives.
