I joined the US Navy in the hopes of becomeing a nuclear technician. Then after my initial six years of service, get out of the navy and get a 50K/yr job working at a nuclear reactor. Fortunately,...

JM I can honestly say that I can counter your comment to stop overclocking with a yes and no. Here it goes:
My house is rather warm. My desk is situated so my computer case's power supply blows the...

I once bought a Maxtor 850mb HD for my then 486 DX2 66 system. When I put it in, and tried to boot up after having my system detect the HD, nothing happened. I tried again, same thing. So, I pulled...

That legal program needed 512K of ram, as in it was made back in the days that Bill Gates said 640K of RAM is all we will need.
My wife works for a law firm, and sometimes I wish they would hire me...

I sense that you are worried about more then just who makes it. Make sure you get a decent board made by a very respectable manufacturer that will be able to get it fixed if they messed up. My first...

I've been leaning toward 2 fans or trying to squeze 3 of them on the heat sink due to each fan providing less than 10cfm each. Since getting a new HSF with a delta 60mm fan, I would not settle for...

Gotta find another fan. I tried the fan that came with my socket A cooler for my 1GHz T-bird, but it is too big. The case is a baby AT tower. The slot has the top of the processor barely touching the...

4 years 10 months and 7 days so far, and I don't think there will be a problem getting to 50 years unless the "until death do us part" portion of the vows happens to come into play.

Requested pics (I hope this works)

Once I get adding the jpg's figured out, I'll have them up.

It looks like I can't slide that plate off, so I guess I'll have to get some fans, bend the fins in to hold onto the screws and give that a try. Anybody done it that way? If you have, please tell me...

Thanks Darren. It looks like it might be that slid on pate thing you mentioned, but I can't find any latches to slide it off. It came out of an old, don't laugh, Gateway machine. The powersupply and...

I pulled it out of the old computer after the pwrsup died. The heat sink looks like it is rivoted onto the back plate of the slot 1 processor. I want to use it, but I can't get the right idea on how...

Now, let's hope AMD reps don't find it and decide to sick the legal dogs on ya! Other than that, COOL!

It's got a peltier. You will need good cooling and room temperatures that are steady. Peltiers tend to get so hot on the opposite side to the CPU die, that they create condensation inside the case....

Is this computer at home or at work. What else is connected to the same power circuit? Same circuit breaker? If anything else is connected to it as well, is power dropping for these items as well?...

It really depends on what you want it for. If you need it for compiling or creating video or audio, the P4's are the king. This is in part due to the RDRAM. For general purpose, do everything, an AMD...

Hey, at least he has a job and a purpose. I was laid of August 3rd and things are so bad, I am looking into a career outside of IT. It might be a blessing in disguise, but who knows. He's got people...

You know you've been around computers for a while when...

1. You owned a modem that was formed for the hand set to fit in it.
2. When a hard drive weighed as much or more than a sack of potatoes....

Although I use Zone Alarm, Tiny Personal Fire wall has one advantage, it is able to take advantage of a second processor. Tiny has had problems in the past, but most were corrected in short time.

To be honest, I would question the values, morals, etc. of those people that put the blame on games to begin with. I've never tried to kill anyone, though my wife's ex-husband may wish so after he...

I just removed the standard AMD stock fan that came with my CPU with a Vantec 6035D copper heat sink with the Delta 6800 rpm fan.
First, the fan wasn't as annoying as I had imagined, and that is...

The room temps have gone way up since summer arrived and I can no longer get my computer to run at a good low temp. I switched my AOC twin Majesty cooler for a basic AMD cooler and no real temp...
