I got picked for the Diablo II stress test!! yaaaay!! *cough* oh.. excuse me

hehe..

Who the hell wants an old Athlon?? gimme a Duron or Thunderbird

Fixxer

Win98 will use as much as you put in your computer but don't expect noticable performance increases over 128, except never hearing your hdd use virtual memory again

I think the limit is 1 or 2 gig tho for 98.. I could be wrong

Fixxer

If all you do is surf the web and write email... I dunno about you but I can never have enough power, everything takes too damn long.

Fixxer

Even if you don't o/c it much raise the FSB setting.. my old K6 233 ran on a 3.5 x 66 setting and on 3 x 75 even tho the clock speed was lower it ran alot faster due to the FSB being higher.

Fixxer

Try something like 4x105, then 4x110, and maybe 4x115.. 4x120 would be good too if your components can handle it.. with the k6 series the higher FSB is better then a higher mhz rating.

Fixxer

You'll prolly have to send in for a replacement bios chip.. that is if yours isn't permanently attached.

Fixxer

Maybe I should just make a little script so it'll just auto respond when you post that question.. hehe

Fixxer

It doesn't matter anyway, you won't be able to get a Slot A Thunderbird... unless you buy one from like Gateway or Compaq, but I doubt they'll sell ya one.

Fixxer

nope.. I think u asked that before

Fixxer

I'm holding out for a Duron or Thunderbird, but if they aren't out by the time I get my GST check then dual celermines it is.

Fixxer

Unless your going to run your FSB at 150 I'd just stick with 133 or even PC100

I have no idea when its gonna be coming out here.. As for Abit I think they are good. I haven't really heard any major complaints, and they seem to be the board manufacturer to have if you overclock. Also the BP6-2 would give you lots of options as to which cpu. If yer looking for a cheap home dual ...

Fixxer

Abit is apparently coming out with a BV6 or BP6-2 that will support dual coppermine PIII's and Celeron II's in SMP mode.. *drool*

Fixxer

www.stupidcomputers.com www.ncix.com

those are both online canadian stores
www.onvia.com has a canadian branch thing too I think.

Fixxer

You should maybe try overclocking your existing chip... might be able to get that to 350-400 if your lucky.

Fixxer

See that light brown slot, that is an agp...

Fixxer

Thats weird.. If you had to use a evergreen adapter it shouldn't have a agp. All SS7 boards have voltage settings low enough to use K6-2 and K6-3 processors. Unless you bought the evergreen upgrade without testing a regular chip first, or checking your manual. The difference between your 333 and a ...

Fixxer

ok...any way here's my stats..
Mobo:Unknown
Prossesor:AMD-K62 333mhz
Video Card:Voodoo3 2000PCI
Ram:64megs of pc100 sdram
Note:The prossecor was originally a genuin Pentium 166mhz prossecor but we bout a EverGreen upgrade module which is basically an adapter and it alowed us to use up to date ...

Fixxer

I wouldn't mind getting a Abit BP6 if I had some cash.. it works with Celeron processors. I'm not sure if it works with Celeron II or Coppermine PIII's tho.

Fixxer

If its a Super Socket 7 (SS7) then you can run more then 64mb... look inside and see if your mobo has a AGP slot (brown slot above the white PCI ones)

Fixxer

Tried linux... didn't like it. Tried Be... didn't that either. Tried Windows 2000... been in Win98SE about twice in 4 months.

Fixxer

I'd get the burner first.. then you'd be able to get the next gen mobo's.

Fixxer

Thats not scary.. If you buy from a little no name start up on the net then don't be suprised if you get something other then you ordered. Buy from big name companies or ones who have a good rep.

Fixxer

I like my HP, but when I buy a new one it'll be a Plextor.

Fixxer

The only one you can buy right now is by Elsa

Fixxer

I can't remember the exact figure but its over a gig. Anything over 128 and you start to get deminishing returns but if you can afford it, put it in.

Fixxer

Abit KA7 or Asus K7V

Fixxer

64mb of cachable ram.. anything over that would slow down your puter

Fixxer

chuckle.. but then you woulda got a new house and another new puter..

Fixxer

Actually if he would have built his own with a nice BX board he prolly coulda got 2x the puter for less money.

Fixxer

Intel owns RDRAM so I'm not suprised they are trying to push it upon you.. heh

Fixxer

GO with the ATHLON. At any clock speed it is faster then the intel, and ive heard from freinds its just a lot better.

Thats not really true anymore.. The older Katmia version was slower then an Athlon but with the new coppermine version its about the same speed. This changes above 900mhz tho ...

Fixxer

I'd like to get the Imac version of one of the Epson printers (I think its made by Epson.. can't remember the model number). Its USB so I'm pretty sure it'll work with a PC, just want something other then grey or whatever.

Fixxer

One more thing.. With the P3 600EB you won't be able to o/c it at all hardly. You should have went with a 600E instead.

Fixxer

Personally I'd wait about a month or 2 until AMD's latest crop of chips/mobo's come out. The compatibilty issue is outdated at best, I haven't heard of any such problems with the newer VIA KX133 chipset. I can't wait to see the new boards based on the AMD760 and AMD770 DDR chipset.. *drool*

Fixxer

try everything.. your multiplier is locked so it doesn't matter what its set at, it'll always default to 6x. Keep going up in FSB settings until either it won't post, windows won't load, or you get GPF's. Once you get instability raise the voltage a bit and see if that helps, or back the FSB down ...

Fixxer

Flanker 2.0? nope, haven't played that before.. is it a flight sim or something?

Fixxer

unless you want a 10k rpm hdd.. *drool*

Fixxer

I've seen a few 600E's running at 900mhz but you'd need some good ram to get a 150mhz FSB setting... not to mention hardware that can handle the raised PCI and AGP. I'm not familiar with your mobo so I dunno if this is possible for you tho.

Fixxer

I'm gonna have to disagree again

hands will thank you for it

my explorer is so comfortable if I'm just doin light surfing (checking forums) my hand actually falls asleep..
