I mentioned here a while back that I was going to upgrade my E4500
[65nm/2.40GHz/2MB] @ 3.32GHz/1.375V for an E7300 [45nm/2.66GHz/3MB] and that
I was hoping to get 4GHz out of it.
Sadly I was aiming a bit high. After much non-POSTing, not loading Windows,

Does any one know the identity or number of the motherboard in an Acer
Aspire M1640? Or better yet, a link to the manual for the motherboard?
The M1640 comes with hard/software support for RAID (NVIDIA). Hard
drives are really cheap so I was considering installing RAID 0 support

nVidia & VIA chipsets are far cooler, I'll avoid AMD chipsets
after this Asus M2A-VM : I had to tape 7 hsinks, fit 1 fan to
cool this mboard 's pll ic & 4 regulators & 1 chip & chipset's
2 small hsinks.  Luckily my small psu can cope so I need not

Can someone explain what's different about these two Crucial memory

I just installed Everest Ultimate monitor & diagnostic program, and
noticed that my Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (2800 MHz) is running at 1005 MHz and
the clock multiplier is at 5x instead of 14x.  I went into the Bios to
the MB Intelligent Tweaker, and the CPU frequency, PCIE Clock, and ...

I'm thinking of replacing my E4500 @ 3.32GHz with a 45nm part as this was
always my plan on buying this mobo (P5K-E WiFi-AP).
I'm on a tight budget. I was considering getting an E8400, that was always
my plan. However, I see that an E7200 is only 2/3 of the price, has a higher

What new is available in rev.E0 that is missing in rev.C0? Is it much better
to pay extra $?

It seems that the Q9550 prices were not cut along with the E8400 and E8500.
They were supposed to drop to the level of the Q9450.  Even then, the price is
a bit steep for an 8.5 multiplier when compared to the Q6600.
Somehow, I lost my Q6600 overclock stability on the Biostar P965.  ...

Is Arctic Silver 5 better over Intel stuff?
Any comments...

I got an old video card from a near by computer shop.
He advised me not to put it in here, or I could burn out
my board.
There's more then one thing wrong with that.

A few months ago I posted about a AC electrical power meter I'd found
advertized for $18.95.  I just purchased one, and have found it useful and
accurate.  My initial idea was to use it to check PC power consumption for
different operating modes and loads.  But what with the ...

What would be a normal iddle/working temp for a aircooled Athlon XP 2500+
(roomtemp mid to high 20's).

I am looking at a new laptop and Frys is offering one with a TL-60
processor, 4 GB of ram running Vista 64 bit.  I have read that PCs
can't really use more than a little over 3 GB.  But I wonder if this
is a limit of the OS or the CPU?  Does Vista 64 have this same

XP 2000+ CPU
Yeah I know, it's an old CPU.
I want to up the vcore, but can't find it in bios....
Can any1 help me?
