NEED IN DEPTH HELP FOR P4 1.6A+ASUS P4B266

good quality DDR memory is good at overclocking, so you can keep the FSB/SDRAM ratio to full 1:1 you need to set the FSB/SDRAM speed to 150 MHz to get to 2.4 GHz, any PC2100 (133 MHz) DDR will do 150 MHz quite easily. As for core voltage, about 0.5V over stock should be good enough. just dont...

ASUS P4B266 OR P4T-E

P4T-E is one of the better overclockers in RDRAM boards, while the P4B266 is better for DDR systems. But there are a number of models available with P4B266 - P4B266 SE/C/E so that you have a better choice. In general, both are good overclockers, but the P4T-E might be held up due to the fact...

you have a very good prized piece, the Pentium-III 700/100! It can be pretty easily overclocked to 933 MHz without much effort by simply switching the FSB to 133 MHz! Of course, you have to do it step-by-step to ensure proper voltages are applied and how far it could be overclocked with stock...

do slotkets perform the same as slot 1?

there is no performance loss, but you might experience problems with overclocking if you use a cheap slocket. Powerleap Powerleap makes a special slotket iP3/T that supports the Tualatin core Celerons (1A~1.3 GHz) and Pentium-IIIs (1.13A~1.53 GHz), they sell a 1.2 GHz + adapter + cooler combo...

Do I need a Raid Mobo

really depends on your budget, if you have lot of money, get a SCSI disk and if possible a SCSI RAID controller. but you can still make a decent system with RAID 0 (stripping) with a good 7200 rpm IDE disk with a good onboard RAID controller! The Asus P5B266-E is a good board for such an...

Lots of AMD Hammer PICS

that was cool! interesting, the motherboard with no 64 bit PCI slots, onboard audio and just 2 DIMM slots, just 2 USB ports and a cool CPU! look at the heatsink/fan, pretty small, guess it consumes lesser power! but the other components seem to use much more of it, that 4pin extra P4 powre...

question about motherboard BIOS viruses

well, if the BIOS is socketed you can order a new one, or might reflash the BIOS by hotplugging into a known working identical board. but as for virus trashing the BIOS, it cannot trash it compeletely. it has a protected bootblock of about 8k, which can be activated by starting the system with...

Geforce 2 problems on Asus P2B-DS

The GeForce draws a lot of current when working full steam, just like the RivaTNT2. Older AGP2X slots found on the BX boards are designed with AGP2X spec with ~6A current specification, while the RivaTNT2 and GeForce draw more than 9A. Maybe this is the reason your card isnt doing 3D good. girish
