  1. On the topic of 939 vs. 940, i was going to upgrade my mainboard and CPU this summer to a 3500+ Venice core w/ S939 mainboard, but one of my buddies said to wait it out until there are more 940 boards available that can support more S940 CPUs.. He said an Opteron should be my next upgrade... i currently sport a S754 Athlon 64 3400+ Clawhammer. Its already fast enough.. it keeps me satisfied... but eventually im going to want to upgrade to something better.. any recommedations?
  2. We sell that model over at Best Buy. I work in the computer department, and in my opinion, its the best LCD we carry for computers... size taken into account too. Good choice.
  3. Try running the software on someone elses computer... maybe the software is corrupted somehow...if its not the software, then youll have to do a clean format of the harddrive... if THAT doesnt work, then wrap the computer up in some toilet paper, hang it out of a 13-storey building, and at the stroke of noon give it the 21 gun salute...
  4. Came across this site ... http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/show...ad.php?t=107925 I have the AMD64 3400+ Clawhammer.. didnt realize how crappy it really was until after I referenced this chart... 1) cant really o/c it 2) stuck with single channel, though my memory supports dual channel 3) I supposedly got 'horrific' memory controllers with mine 4) ...and to top it off, i got the dreaded C0 rev. instead of the CG rev. (this translates into more difficult overclocking among other things) ...my next upgrade will be to a 939 board (ASUS A8V Deluxe) with the AMD64 3500+ Venice core. Its amazing how much research you accomplish when youre determined to find something.... Im sticking with AGP for the time being.. my X800Pro isnt going anywhere anytime soon... B:) ...however my CPU is beginning to make me wonder...
  5. why is that an issue.. what does that do...
  6. k, i identified that in the bios... do I adjust anything else? ... i dont want to fugg up my processor...
  7. HT i assume is the multiplier then?
  8. So i guess i cant o/c any further than this: (stock 200MHz) ... 218MHz w/ 11x multiplier... Vcore @ 1.525V ..untouched ...this puts me at around 2398MHz ... not very impressive.. a 2.2GHz 3400+ only clockable to 2.4GHz??? <_< I have a ThermalTake fan that spins a maximum of 5500RPM, so cooling is not an issue... especially at this speed... POST completes, but i get a blue screen with alot of 'DOS-like' text referencing errors on the disk and whatnot... Windows will not boot up... ...suggestions please...
  9. What effect will increasing these two attributes have on the performance? ... what are they and how far can i take them...? .. right now, im at 530/505 from 475/450 stock and no problems... any suggestions or recommendations?
  10. ..not sure why its doing this.. when i restart the computer, the monitor just turns off for like a second and a half then turns back on again, like its resetting itself.. this cant be good for the mechanics.. its a huge 21" so to see the sucker turn off then on again so fast CANT be good... it never does this, just today it started doing it... My card is an ATI X800 Pro.... Catalyst 5.5. any suggestions?
  11. ...how do I determine a stable overclock? are there tests to perform, or simply by observation?
  12. alright... stock is 2210MHz... right now, im at 2277.0MHz with a 11x multiplier and FSB at 207MHz HTT. I can overclock anywhere between 200 and 300MHz. VCore is currently increased to 1.575. Ive searched google for info on this, and havent much light shed on the situation... anyone here want enlighten me? How far until 'something bad' happens?
  13. Ive never flashed the BIOS before, and after searching the forums that relate to this topic, I didnt find much direction... Can someone explain to me, in general, HOW you update the BIOS once youve downloaded the file.... i dont want to screw it up... BTW..the size of the file was 512k ... I assume that I would save this file to a floppy and then reboot off the floppy ? ... I understand that youre NEVER supposed to update the BIOS in Windows after reading these forums....
