My 1st AMD PC... Wow!!!

[SleepyGuy]

I was the guy with the floppy problem... I had the cable backwards like everyone said! lol! Anyway happily running my Duron 700 @ 927 Mhz. Here are the specs...

Duron 700 @ 927
MSI KT7 Pro 2a
384 MB Generic pc133 - Cas 3
IBM 20 GB ata 100 7200 rpm
AIW Radeon
Asus DVD 8x
Ricoh 7060a
Inwin Q500A
Using integrated sound... it's not that bad!

Temps are very low using the Taisol 742 big @ss hs/fan (using Sunon fan instead of the factory taisol one, 26cfm instead of 21cfm). Had to file down one corner though. Case temps are 22c. CPU idle 32... full load around 40-42c. Any multiplier above 8.5 or FSB above 110 gives me funny beeps and errors... so i run it at 8.5 x 109. All on Win2K Pro. I'm very impressed! Might even upgrade to a 1 Ghz AMD Thunderbird just to give AMD some business! Pencil to O/C and Artic Silver to help out. All those Intel lovers out there, give AMD a try, you'll really like it. Later. Oh btw, this kicks the crap out of my friends P3 800...hehe.

I could not agree more. I to am a first time AMD user (Duron 800@900) and I could not be happier. My last PC was an PII 400 and the one before that was a Cyrix 6x86 (P.O.S)! Anyway, enjoy!!

I'm a born again AMD user. Back in early 98 I use to own a K6-2 300 when they were first released. After that I've been using Intel CPUs. Now, I'm back to AMD with the Athlon 1.2GHz. The Athlon has matured to where it has a really stable motherboard platform and the prices are excellent.

SleepyGuy,
Sorry had to say this.........lol

Have you tried Viagra?

 

[AdamK47]

So, Viagra has a secondary purpose... keeping a person awake? I guess it would. LOL

Take No Doze. Those are some powerful pills. Just don't take too many of them or you'll be bouncing off the walls.

Ohhhhhh..... Floppy problem. LOL

 

[mustang659ut]

Just curious what was your first system?? I am looking at a Duron or t-bird to replace my P3 450... but still thinkin that I like intel.... except for the cost....

 

[gtd2000]

Mustang can you overclock with your motherboard?
If so - this is typed to you on a PIII450 @ 600Mhz - and totally stable in all situations

 

[AdamK47]

I use to have an overclocked P3 450. I got it up to 630MHz with 2.2V on a BX board.
