Is this enough power?

This part confuses me. You say "current systems." What exactly do you mean when you say this? I doubt that a Sempron 3100 with integrated graphics and a single 80gb hard drive needs as much power as an fx-55 with dual 6800 ultras in sli and two WD Raptors in Raid 0. In fact, I know it...

How to remove thermal grease/paste?

What the title says. How do I safely clean thermal paste off of a processor and heatsink? I managed to seperate them without incident, but now I need to clean them off before I install the processor in its new motherboard. I want it to be polished nicely when I put on a new coating of Arctic...

Where's the rest of the RAM?

Both DIMMs are double-sided, yes. However, the newer one is lower-profile. It has fewer chips, but they're larger than the chips on the old one, and they're mounted lengthwise on the DIMM. How do I run memtest? EDIT: Google is my friend. Downloading memtest now.

Where's the rest of the RAM?

Sounds like I need to make myself clearer. The motherboard is a MSI MS-6191, the processor is a Slot A Athlon (650 MHz.) The motherboard, according to the manual, supports 2 DIMMs of PC100 SDRAM, up to 256MB per DIMM. (That's right. No DDR. This thing is OLD.) It had 1 DIMM in it...

Where's the rest of the RAM?

Sooooo, I just installed a second stick of RAM in my parents' computer. It's an old Slot A Athlon with 650MHz, and now it has 2 x 256MB PC133 RAM DIMMs. According to both the Windows 2k control panel and the BIOS at startup, I have 327MB of RAM. So where's the rest of it? How can I get the...

Socket A Sempron vs Athlon XP

So, I'm getting ready to build an "El Cheapo" computer. I'm using a Socket A motherboard, and want to know what the difference is between the Socket A Semprons and Similarly-priced Athlon XP's. I was under the impression that the Socket A Semprons were just rebranded Athlon XP's, but I know...

ECS PF88 Extreme

http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20050427/index.html So, it's a Pentium 4 motherboard. Unless you buy a special expansion card and insert it into the special PCI-Express slot. Then it becomes an Athlon 64 motherboard! You cannot run both processors at once, nor can you run either...

Adaware - a scam ??

You downloaded one of the many disreputable anti-spyware programs that are floating around the net. To learn who you can trust, (and about spyware in general,) go to Spyware Warrior. You can see that noadware is listed on the Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware List.

So, just how much game can the 9600 handle?

In my new system, I'm using a scrounged Radeon 9600 as my video card to save cash. I'm not a hardcore gamer who has to have the latest video card to play Doom 3 or to compete in UT2k4, so I'm sure I'll be satisfied with it. However, I am curious: what's the limits of the card? How...

What will you do with an X2?

Wouldn't those two actions cancel each other out, leaving you with nothing accomplished? :D Me, I'll probably just do what I do now, only I'll do it all at once. That is, browse the net with multiple Firefox tabs at once, type documents with Word, run spyware and virus scans, rip CD's to...
