    single athlon mp in a non-mp motherboard?

    Will an Athlon 2000MP processor (Socket A 462)work in a single processor motherboard? My Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW dual processor motherboard died and I don't want to spend the money to replace it; however, single-processor socket A motherboards are less expensive.

    motherboard or cpu--which one is damaged

    I e-mailed Antec. They stated that my PSU appeared to be defective; however, it's not covered under the three year warranty anymore, so I bought an Antec Neo HE 550 yesterday. I guess I should have read the box concerning cable quantity and type before leaving the store, because when I got home...

    motherboard or cpu--which one is damaged

    I checked for bad capacitors on the mobo-- everything looks ok. I checked the voltage readings in the BIOS and it revealed that not only are some of the voltages out of spec for the ATX standard, but they are out of spec for Antec's own product claims.

    motherboard or cpu--which one is damaged

    As originally reported in thread602-934008, my custom-built dual processor computer worked relatively flawlessly for two years, before it developed repeated problems starting the computer. The computer would go thru a series of lock-ups and reboots before it reached a functioning state. It...

    can't install OSX Server 10.2 on G4 1.0 GHz

    I tried to install OS 10.2 Server on a G4 single processor 1.0 Ghz machine with OS 10.2.6 already installed. The OS 10.2 Server installer stated that it would not install over a newer version of the OS. I thought I could just boot from the 10.2 server disk and erase the disk with disk utilities...
