EDIT: was a 256, so no deal. 512mb Geil Pc-3500 for $78 at newegg

I'm pretty sure it DID say 512, at least for a little while. I placed an order for that stuff yesterday morning, even showed it to a friend here at work. But when I got the SO# and pulled it up the order showed 256 sticks as did the webpage by that point. It's possible we both misread it (plus...

Funky problem with Audio CDs

Okay, this one came out of the blue and I'm stumped. All of a sudden my system is only semi-recognizing audio cds. Pop one in and windows says there's an audio cd in, but no apps recognize that there's a disc there. Check drive properties and it says that there are 0 bytes used on the drive...

Prime95 - What am I doing wrong?

I did the memtesting with the cpu at 133fsb and underclocked, don't remember if I had the cache turned on or not. So it's not overclocking at this point, either way. =)

Prime95 - What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, memtest86 started turning up errors right away. Not a whole lot, but more than 30 over a 40 minute span. Mushkin has a new stick on the way to me now.

Prime95 - What am I doing wrong?

The memtest is the latest version from the hcidesign page, 1.3 (copyright 2003 in the manual). The processor is designed to run at 133x11 (1463) but is currently at 166x8.5 (1411). I didn't think it was possible to be the FSB is the processor itself is clocked at or below stock speed. Is it?

Prime95 - What am I doing wrong?

Nope, doesn't look like it. Memtested for over two hours today and everthing is kosher. Also looped 3dmark while I was at work, 10 hours and it was just fine when I got home a few minutes ago.

Prime95 - What am I doing wrong?

Okay, been bashing on it a while and still nada from Prime. I'm running an athlon xp 1700+ on an abit nfs-7 board. FSB is set to 166, multi to 8.5, vcore to 1.625 (yes, this is slightly underclocked and slightly over volted). Ram is mushkin value set to the most conservative values (7-3-3-2.5)...

Prime95 - What am I doing wrong?

I'm getting the same kind of behavior. Everything seems fine, no lockups, CPU temps havn't topped 44.5c, memory is at stable settings (7-3-3-2.5) but prime dies in like 20 seconds.

Help! New nf7-s Install getting NOTHING

HOT: $.01 for 2 Gamecube Zelda games at Target (YMMV)

If those things are supposed to street on the 18th the Nintendo people really need to start informing the corporate reps about what's going on. CompUSA has had those out for several days. On top of that before they arrived the CUSA corp. gaming rep had no idea if they were even doing the...

sy 5ema+ only seeing half RAM with PC133

You've probably got a high density ram stick and the mobo doesn't support those. We've been seeing that a lot lately at the store I work at. Almost all pc133 ram coming in the doors right now is high density. If you can swing it try a stick that is labeled in particular for 66/100/133 and see if...

7vaxp bios updates?

Does anyone know if Gigabyte has improved the overclocking options on the 7vaxp since the reviews have come out? I'm trying to decide what board to get for the new computer and that one is perfect save for the lack of multiplier options. The kt4 ultra will do in a pinch, but the layout, design...
