well, since no one seems inclined to answer my bold-letters question and equally disinclined to or incapable of helping me with my video problem, i'll continue trying to figure it out on my own while looking elsewhere for help.

just curious. i noticed all the subjects are in bold letters except mine. oh, yeah, and also a little help with my above-listed problem.

i installed an operating system on a comp the other day for a friend. the install was problematic but eventually got it. the os was vista. the comp had 512 mbs pc-2700 sharing 32 mbs of that with onboard video. to install i ended up disabling that to free up the 512 mbs vista wants...

i'm not sure what you mean about throwing the old cpu back in to see if my rip times go back down cuz they never went up. as far as windows loading, i never really paid attention to how long it took but, i think, if there were an appreciable difference, i'd have noticed. what i'm thinking...

512 mhz pc-2700. i know about the card but it has digital out with a crt adapter and i use that second monitor alot and i get great performance with it in the most graphic-intensive games. still, when you strip everything else away, the increase in mhz, fsb, cache and the barton core, i...

first, i wasn't expecting a huge increase ; i only pointed out that people o/c'ing around 500 mhz were seeing 25-30% increases and that i should see something. my vc is nvidea ti4200 8x 128 mgs ram. ripping (dvd decrypter) one particular dvd9 started at 2.1, went up to 4.6 and back thru...

...you mean if dma is enabled, if so, yes. this is driving me crazy, if not bumming me out a little. setting aside the higher bus and increased cache, its 500 mhz faster than the 2000+. i went to an overclocking site and people who o/c'ed around 500 mhz enjoyed a 25 to 30% increase in...

there are two options: auto and 333. it was on auto ; i changed it to 333 but it didn't make any difference. also, i'd still like to know if the chip could be bad or if its a case of, it works or doesn't.

as far as my ram goes, i do have pc2700 ; i plan to get a stick of ddr400 soon. i also have a copy of sandra but i wanted to see the speed/preformance in practical applications. the bios added a preset speed of 2167 so i set it at that. system properties, dirx and amd's cpuid all...

i don't mean to multiple-post but this is also in my old thread then figured people who already responded would think its the same problem. ok. i bought an athlon xp 3000+ off ebay w/original heatsink/fan. put on some arctic silver and slapped it in. i made notes of how fast various...

ok. i bought an athlon xp 3000+ off ebay w/original heatsink/fan. put on some arctic silver and slapped it in. i made notes of how fast various things were w/the 2000+ so i could compare. everything is the same [or actually slower] w/the 3000+ put in. does any one know why. it...

paparazi, glad to hear about the improvement i'll experience going to a 3000+. you must have read my recent mind. when i do upgrade, i'll be going 64 so i won't be using this chip anyway. its all academic now, though, i found a good deal on a 3000+ at my local retailer but he only...

thx for all y'alls help. paparazi, the reason i'm looking at the 400fsb is in case i upgrade to a 400 board. btw, i like your signature but it should be redundant. imho, it should be an unwritten law in forums: take a penny, leave a penny. i've been looking thru posts for a chance to help...

appreciate the help but am still unclear on the answer. anyone know if this particular board will accept the 400 fsb processor and clock it down for the 333 board or not accept it at all. thx

i've got the a7v8x mobo w/333 fsb. the bios has been upgraded to 1013. first question: probably stupid, but do bios upgrades ever upgrade the boards fsb and if not... question two: will my board take a chip with a 400 bus and clock it down or not accept it at all. i want to know because i'm...
