    System Freeze?

    this is just an idea, so take it how you will. Since you received the same message from the old and the new harddrives. If you are able to boot from a Win98 floppy, maybe the MBR? Maybe the IDE controller is going on the fritz(a very technical term, I know). It sounds to me like some sort of I/O...

    Ram Speed Utility

    Hey folks. I have a simple enough question. Since everything is basically a multiplication of the PCI bus speed i.e. PCI bus X 3=CPU FSB(PCI bus X 3 X 4= P4 FSB), let me know if this is right. My PCI bus is set at 38 MHz, with CPU/DRAM ratio of 3:5. Now my P4 is running at 1849 MHz, with an FSB...

    Memory or Hardware conflict

    Newegg is a great site, they have just about everything there is. Another good one is www.mwave.com, I just built an excellent system between the services of these 2 sites, if Newegg doesn't have it MWAVE will, and the shipping is equally priced between the 2 of them. Just trying to help, hope...

    Applause for a MoBo

    Hey Gang, this isn't really a technical issue but...My new system is built on an Asus P4S333 board, and I just have to say, although it's only the first PC I've built, it's really got to be an expanders' dream.I guess I should tell that the reason I was even prompted to build a system is that...

    I got a new PC, assembled one and w

    For ceh4702 and ITphile, the program is called Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility.It downloads in a flash with anything but a 56K modem, and it's worth having. Just out of curiosity though, doesn't control panel>system>give you a screen somewhat similar? I know that my PC running Windows XP on...

    a question about installing a motherboard + cpu

    Paprazi, this question has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I have been going through many of the posts in this forum, and always, you quote prices in the pound sterling. Now, I understand that you are in England, or Britain if you prefer, my question is this: about what does...

    How much noise is noisy (cpu cooler-wise)

    Buggeroo, Jonathan definitely has the right of it. Sometimes it's not actually the level of the noise, but the actual noise itself. You mention that the fan runs at 38Dba, which is pretty quiet. Normal conversations range from 40 to 60 Dba, but they're not usually that annoying(depending on...

    Apprehensive about buying RAM

    Perry, it's a little known fact that there are actually only 4 or 5 companies that actually make the RAM chips, it's just tons of companies slap their name on them.I'm not sure how it works, but I recently read an article at zdnet, about some PC2700 chips that are actually just overclocked...
