On my Asus P5B (no deluxe) board I cannot get my E6600 any higher than
2900 MHz (323 x 9).
If I increase the FSB anymore, the system won't even post.
Vcore is at 1.275 but even increasing it to 1.5 won't help.

I had been waiting for RD600 for several reasons which now no longer
apply* but given that the reasons are no longer relevant, the current
price and persistent non-appearance I've given over waiting and decided
to go for a 975X based solution.

I looking at buying some thermal paste for my AMD AM2 5000+ cpu. I know
about Artic Silver and Ceramique, how do they compare? Is there anything
better and what is carbon black?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I've been having a fiddle with my current system, and I've currently got
it running stable at about 1900Mhz from the stock 1600Mhz, this running at
stock voltages and untouched memory settings.
I was going to try upping the voltage slightly to see if i can get a little

I figured out how to set the memory divider to CPU/6 (by choosing
DDR2-667 in DRAM config).
Now, how should I set the CPU voltage to overclock the CPU to 2400Mhz?
Using default voltage and FSB of just 225Mhz, the board beeped with 1

How do you release the metal retention clips from the processor socket
for an Athlon XP 2100+? One side has a large metal hanging edge and the
two metal clips look like they slide up into the side with the larger
metal piece. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It seems to be a hoax, judging from the fact that the die didn't
shatter, but is it possible for this to actually happen? If I were to

What are the different cores and just what do they do thats different?
i.e the 64-X2-4200 has a Manchester , a Brisbane, and a Windsor cores..
Also what are the different steppings and just what do they mean?
Are these power useage issues, or Heat issues? Are there differences in

I have a 6 or 9 month old PC based on socket 754 and Semprom 2800 with
a good overclocking motherboard.
When would be the best time to upgrade the chip to a faster one? I.e.
in a year is it likely I could buy a Sempron 4500 for 40 quid? Or will

I'm replacing my Palomino with a Barton CPU; the chip itself on the
Palomino is square, while the Barton is rectangular. I believe my
current fan came with the Palomino CPU, so it has a square pad
underneath. Will the fan work for the Barton too, or am I better off

I have a new core 2 duo proc. and need suggestions for a good inexpensive,
MoBo for this chip. It is the 1.86 Gig proc, and I have heard it's like the
old 300 MHz  Celery, as far as overclockability goes, those were the good
old days! I got 450MHz easily with an old BX chipset ...

Any point in going to a 4200? Can't seem to find a 4800x2. What are the
4600x2 manchester like?
