Hi,

I want to buy a IDE to SATA converter which you stick into the IDE port which allows you to use a SATA hard drive.

BUT i have used both my IDE slots and was wondering if the floppy drive...

Never Mind! I had to get used to the bloody browser and have moved onto opera

thanks for the scanner, my computer is now clean as a whistle, BUT Firefox does not do what i want it to do.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Recently i rebooted my computer to win xp sp2 and installed firefox as my default browser. But however today while browsing a perfectly good website the computer restated itself.

Now upon...

Well a budget of £450 for the motherboard and the processor, RAM, HDD and Graphics Card

Got to be fast - Dual core 2?
RAID? SO that you can stick in lots

The seller has agreed to the refund and i will now be upgrading the whole motherboard instead of the processor. Any tips on what i should be looking out for and whats hot and whats not.

Okay thanks for all the help and i have decided that i will be asking for a refund as installing a new processor requires much more things than i thought.

I will post if all goes to plan.

Question - What would happen if i changed the FSB to 166Mhz on my current system without changing anything?

Okay, so you think the new processor will work after i do the following - take out the 2100 RAM, Update the bios and change the frequency to 200Mhz

Is that right, i want to get it right before i...

Here is the listing details:

AMD Athlon
XP3000+ Socket A (462)

This is a used but fully working processor. The title says it all really but I've included full specs including BUS speed. I'm...

First thing first - I made the SiSoft Sandra list using my old processor and not the new one - hope this does not make a difference.

NooNoo has the correct motherboard and i will list the...

Um another question, CCT said to remove the 2100 RAM i have 2 RAM chips which are 2100, should i take the first one off or both.

Thanks Guys

AH i got the motherboard details when i opened it up, hope this helps:

MSI
KT4V
MS-6712 VER 1.0
NI996

This was written on the motherboard next to the PCI slots

So i should remove the 2100 RAM and then try it, can i be a bit stupid and ask why? What does the RAM have to do with this?

So do you think that i should put the FSB to 200? is it a good idea or will i get problems

Thanks Guys

How about overclocking the processor?

Regarding the BIOS, i went and changed the frequency from 133Mhz to 222Mhz and the computer stopped working, i then removed the CMOS battery and then set it back to its defaults.

I thought that...

Hi,

I was tired of my 1.8ghz AMD athlon processor so i went and bought a AMD ATHLON XP3000+ CPU Processor Socket A (462)

It says that the real speed is 2100 or 2.1Ghz, i asked the seller and...

i tried fdisk /mbr and nothing happened, the virus stayed. I tried all these DOS applications but they wont do.

Is there an antivirus software which can be run through dos?

but he didnt put the hard drive on while the power was still on, nothing else i can do then?

so how can i retrive all the files on the disk?

The computer is working fine. When the power cord is stuck into the Hard drive from the CPU's power supply it makes no noise or anything. The bios does not pick it up and there is no hummimg noise.

My friends 80GB hard drive was recently moved from his computer to another, but when the hard drive was attached to the other computer the bios did not pick it up or work.

However when he took it...
