    Will a standard Pentium 4 chip work with a mobo designed for a Pentium 4 Prescott??

    Hello guys Here is my predicament, My mobo (Soyo P4X400 lite: TERRIBLE btw) recently suffered a fatality. I am looking to buy a new mobo on newegg and was wondering if a standard Pentium 4 2.4 chip (not a prescott, no hyperthreading) would work in a motherboard designed for a Prescott. I am...

    Can't connect directly to my DSL modem anymore...?

    So i used to have this issue where sometimes a file would be corrupted and no matter how many times i downloaded it, it would be corrupted. Now, i found out that by connecting directly to my DSL modem rather than with my router (D-link DI-604), this problem never occurred. So i used to switch...

    DSL Uploading problem

I can download just fine, ~60-85Kb/sec.. but if I try and upload even at 2Kb/sec I have problems loading webpages, pictures, or pretty much anything.

    Epox 8kda3j - nvidia nforce network controller problem

    ok so here it is in a nutshell. I RMA'd my mobo a couple weeks ago, got it back two days ago. Installed it with no problems, except of course that lame undervolting shit. Last night i updated the bios (5/14) to hopefully fix the issue. Upon reboot, my network controller in the device manager...

    E-Power (Tagan) "Cheetah" 450w...whaddya think?

    I noticed this on newegg today for only $62 (+$7 shipping), and it seems like a good PSU, high +12v amps, shielded and sleeved connectors, etc blah blah...but i only found one pretty pitiful review on it from ClubOC. I am curious, do any of you guys know about better reviews out there, or about...

    Two diff PSUs, same HUGE undervolt readings

    So i got myself a Tt 420W PSU a few weeks ago and recently i have noticed that MBM5 and SiSoft Sandra 2004 are BOTH reading my 3.3v rail at 1.60v and my 12v rail at ~TEN volts!!! So i plug in my old Antec 400w from this old server computer i had, and now i've booted up and get the SAME EXACT...

    Now, before i get into things, i am posting this here because my friends are all saying "its hot because you are overclocking blah blah" and such things. But now that i think about it, this might fare better in the motherboard section. But its too late now since im just editing the topic at...

    idle: 35-37C...when prime95'ing: 52C...

    Just wondering if its normal for my A64 [email protected] to jump up that much when under load...i mean i notice alot of people with similar idle temps getting load temps of mid to high 40s, but i get a 15C increase from idle to load w/ an slk-948u.

    Chipset Drivers before GPU Drivers, except after "C"

    So, lets say for example that i installed directx and my gfx card drivers, and maybe a few other things, before i updated my chipset drivers...is there any way for me to go about fixing this, since apparently the chipset drivers are supposed to come first?

    Weird (and disappointing) eVGA 6800GT OC experience...

    So i went and bought this evga 6800gt, installed it and got the 61.72 whql drivers, installed the coolbits thing, etc. So when i went to overclock it, i thought i'd find out how high the "autodetect" optimal frequencies thing would give me... ...so i try it the first time and it says 389mhz...

    so i got an A64 3000+ last week and when i tossed it into my rig and ran cpu-z, it read as a SH7-CG revision, but the code name was "ClawHammer", not Newcastle. Aren't all CGs Newcastle cores? Oh yeah and the cache is 512kb, too. /me = confused
