Official MSI K7T Turbo Thread - Anyone got an MSI Turbo R running yet? Udate: Got it, and so far it sucks! ***Update, it might not suck***

Hmm, I'm glad I bought my Asus A7V133. My 1Ghz 100FSB athlon is running at 9X133 or 1.2Ghz right now, rock stable. I didn't have to deal with any of those stuff you guys mentioned. Thank god, all my multipliers were there and I connected L1 bridge also. My 1Ghz was able to go to 1.2Ghz at...

Not alot of A7V133 posts is a good thing!

I just finished installing all the software on Saturday. My Asus A7V133 is great, my Sandra score for CPU benchmark even beat Tomshardware's Athlon 1.2 Ghz DDR system CPU score :) Rock stable, not even one crash, once I figured out how far I can push my processor. I OC my 1 Ghz athlon to 1.2...

CPU/Overclocking Recommendations

Ok, Intel used to be much better for OC, now it seems AMD is a better choice, both for potential and cost. Depending on your budget and taste. For me, I am willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for stability as running my wife's require no crash in 48 hours or more (I was just running her...

CPU/Overclocking Recommendations

If you are buying a mb anyways, unless you don't want to reinstall your system and you're using same or similar mb (at least the same chipset), there is no reason to go with Intel now. I just finished installing all the software last Saturday on my new system. It really rules. The system is...

Are the 200fsb T'Birds Better than the 266fsb T'Birds for Overclocking?

It doesn't matter, since you can unlock the multiplier. My 1Ghz athlon, 2001, week 1 batch was able to hit 1.2Ghz both at 100 and 133FSB. I decided to use 9X133 instead of 12X100 to get my 1.2Ghz athlon. Stick with newer batch though if you can. Newer CPU tend to be better than the old as...

This is what im getting people, rate me on performace/price on a scale of 1-10 (tbird 1.2 system)

plextor or yamaha?

Either one is fine, I've been burning since the early 90's, back when 2X is considered fast. I still have an external Yamaha 400TX SCSI burner (4 times CD-R, no RW) and a defunct Yamaha 2X burner. I also owned Plextor 8/4/32A as well as my current 12X SCSI plextor burner (in my signature). If...

SCSI vs IDE- Need you technical guys w/ hands-on experience

abracadabra: it depends on what you want to do, what are you planning to use it for? I'm a programmer and plays some games (tribes, AoK, BW, and D2) at home. I also compile stuff, among other things. For games, the ones I play doesn't require a fast HD (except D2). If you want game...

SCSI and ATA 66 hd performance question

IBM 75GXP series have very good sequential transfer rate. However, sequential transfer rate usually doesn't play a role as important as access time unless you do a lot of large block file copy/read/write such as copy your video files from one HD to another HD (and the HD has been defraged...

Poll: What's your personal upgrade criteria/ policy?

I upgrade when I need to, usually due to system can't handle what I want to do. I also tend to do more incremental upgrades, unless I neglected it for too long. For example, some of my more recent upgrades and reasons. Upgraded my memory from 128 MB IBM PC133 RAM to 2 128MB Mushkin rev 2 PC133...
