    DDR difference between 266 and 333

    I have the exact same mobo. Unfortunatley i got PC3500 which is 433mhz DDR and it wont read anything higher then 266 Mhz. I tried setting it manually in bios and my benchmarks are still low. Intel is lame and wont let me overclock so i guess its time for a new mobo. I suggest waiting until the...

    What video card?

    I have an older PC w/ close to the very same specs. Its a via mobo and i went and bought a 64mb Gforce 2. Works great and really sped the system up. It was a great fix for under 50 bucks. Runs XP Pro a lot nicer.

    IBM T21

    Ok so you wiped your Hard Drive? You cant boot to a blank hard drive. So you have to go into your BIOS and look for the boot order. Make your CDROM drive the first device on your boot list. After that just restart your computer, put your prefered OS into your CDROM drive and press any key to...

    Brand New Won't boot

    300W should be enough. To check plug in only your mobo and Hard drive. Leave everything else unplugged and see what happens. I dont know about your board but mine needs the 4 pin 12v connector. Most of the newer p4 boards do, make sure you PS has one of these. if you see an empty 4 port spot on...

    1 bit VS. 1 byte clarification

    OK the way i understand a bit versus a byte is that it takes 8 bits to create one byte. So therefore a 100 megaBIT network connection is equal to 100/8 so in essence it is really a 12.5 megaBYTE network connection. Am i getting this correct? This is why it takes 2 min to transfer a 200 megaBYTE...

    Brand New Won't boot

    Try going into your BIOS and making sure that your video is pointing to your AGP slot. Boards sometimes get confused when you first put them together and may not know which video device you want to use.

    What software does it have problems w/? is it only office? or internet explorer also. If you having trouble w/ a range or programs then it is most likely the cable. But if its only certain applications then make sure you have the latest drivers, patches, sp's, etc. etc. Also go into the print...

    1 GB? or 2 512 MB stick O' RAM

    Thanks for the help tyrant. I really didnt think that an upgrade of less then 500 MHz would require a new mobo. But you have some very good points. Time will tell. As for RDRAM and DDR Intel is going to begin producing DDR2 SDRAM. While DDR2 may phaze out like you say it will not be any time in...
