    Intel to ditch Pentium Name

    Even starting with Pentium 2 the name was a bit silly, since the Pentium was a way of saying that it came after 486s. So it was like "Number 5.. 2" instead of 6. Then "Number 5... 3", instead of 7. Going to Pentium 5 would just be reaching a point of redundancy that I think all the Intel...

    CAS 2 or CAS 2.5 ??

    And if you're lucky, you'll get a stick that will run cas2 anyways. I bought a cheapo stick of ram (no name, not even Samsung or anything) that is rated at 3-4-4-8, but somehow I'm able to run it at 2-3-3-7. I had to up the voltage a little bit, but still, pretty nice performance from the...

    New to SFF, wondering about vid card size/power

    Hi everyone, I've never built a SFF PC, so I'm wondering if you could help me or point me to the best places for me to help myself. I'm currently looking at a few possible shuttle cases (SB61G2, SN45G, SN85G4 V2) depending on which CPU I decide on, and I'd be hoping to use a Sapphire...

    Which CPU for the $$

    They are talking about the mobile chips. Only the desktop chip has a 1.65V stock voltage.

    Prescott Survial Kit from AMD

    Socket 939 is all you have to say? With respect to what? Heat? It's already been stated that it has lower power consumption than Prescott. Price? Well yeah, it's brand new, it's not going to be at the bottom of their price lists. The fact that they still have nicely performing processors...

    Prescott Survial Kit from AMD

    How stupid AMD can be? 1) Kyle said he didn't think it came from AMD 2) AMD weren't the ones doing reviews on Prescotts at dozens of different websites all reporting that Prescotts ran hotter than any previously known processor. I think your flamethrower is pointing in the wrong...

    Bye bye hard drives

    Ah, I missed the storage forum. I've never been here. Sorry. Yes the computer was on, as stated in the original thread. I'm running an Antec PSU. I put it into another computer as the slave, and the BIOS didn't detect it. Not sure how to manually put it's information in. Both drives...

    Bye bye hard drives

    There's no hard drive section, so I figure this is general :) So here I am, re-routing the wires in my case to improve the airflow (with the computer turned on, oops), when suddenly, *zap!*. I have one of those 3-to-4 pin adapters 7V modded plugged into my delta fan, so the 3-pin header is...

    Which is faster?

    $219 is a lot for a P3 1GHz. Unless you really want it for some reason, just buy something newer.

    Is the AMD64 make up for the loss of GHz?

    Oooo.. I like that analogy. I had never thought of a nice simple way to explain it in layman's (sp?) terms, but that is perfect.

    Mobile 2500+=roxx0r overclock

    Folding = running Folding@Home (just wondering if you had some other application eating your processor cycles by accident) A 5MHz o/c on your video card shouldn't make more than 100-200 difference on 3dmarks, in my experience. So, you should have cleared 18,500 with your 9800 at stock, I...

    Mobile 2500+=roxx0r overclock

    Were you folding during your first benchmark or something? There is no way a 5MHz o/c on your vid card would add 4k 3dMarks.

    need help with cooling

    Aside from the already supplied answers, in general people have their fans arranged to have them blowing in from the front/side, and blowing out the back/top. I'm pretty sure you weren't asking which way the wind is blowing :D Your case temps, as mentioned above, depend a great deal on the...
