    What's the oldest AMD chip you still run?

    Just un-retired an Athlon 1200 for a friend. Built a cheap PC out of old parts that I've stored for 2-7 years and everything still works. The Athlon hadn't been in use since 2000. I'd rather see these old parts working again than just sitting in boxes collecting dust....

    What's the oldest AMD chip you still run?

    Slowest I have is my K6-2-500 running office apps on a FIC VA-503...a classic combo I built back in the mid 90's. Running Windows 2000 on a 15 gig WD drive, with an Nvidia TNT card, Soundblaster PCI card, and a generic ethernet card. Reciently checked the caps on the board for leaks or bends and...

    Black Friday...what did you get?

    Thanks for the info and the firmware link, thats the same model I got. :( I saw that CD Freaks review of this BTC last year and the original firmware was very picky about what discs to use and the burn quality was very inconsistant. Hopefully the newer firmware will fix that, or it winds...

    Black Friday...what did you get?

    Someone's going to get trampled to death The Who In Cincinnati (1978) concert style, all for cheap Celeron laptops with lousy IGP graphics. Anyway I'm on a business trip in Lawton Oklahoma, and the deals were pretty skimpy here. No Best Buy, Office Max, Circuit City or even a Target here –...

    Free Sonic Cherry Limeade

    They'll proably get there. I grew up in Oklahoma and watched Sonic grow from a tiny regional chain of drive-in's, and then screw up in the 80's with inconsistant food quality and lousy service. A lot of stores closed down. But Sonic has really gotten thier act together in the past 5 years and...

    worlds most flakey mo-bo's

    Worst board, and this may be a surprise: ASUS A7V8X-X, some websites regarded it as one of the best ever KT400 boards ever made, but mine started acting flakey after 7 months (thought it was the memory - it wasnt) and the thing died after 10 months taking the XP2000 CPU with it, no overclocking...

    ECS KN1 Extreme Motherboard Review

    How was the quality of the KN1? ECS boards always seemed to be thinner than Asus and Abit boards. Newegg already has them in thier referbished bin...$60.59 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135175R

    Who is teh b3$+ motherboard manufacturer?

    I agree, with the way these companies design these boards as quick as they can, and then crank these boards out by the millions, youre always going to have lemons. I have had boards that were made by Asus and Abit come DOA, or die after 4 months to a year, while boards made by OEM board...

    office max law suit

    VERY glad to see this happening! :D OfficeMax has screwed me on several rebates. I have had several those missing or invalid information cards sent back to me when I made copies of everything. The worst ones were on Khypermedia and Mad Dog products I bought from them. I proably should...

    Whats the best deal you've ever gotten??

    I bought a used Athlon 1200 off E-bay (about $25 with shipping) for a budget PC I was building out of old parts which worked fine. Two weeks later I recieved another box from the same guy with another Athlon 1200! :rolleyes: I emailed him about it and he said some were damaged with a tiny chip...

    ECS KV2 Extreme

    ECS/PC Chips need to get them to websites like [H] and make a really kick ass board that beats Asus and Abit if they want to be taken seriously. Thats why the K7S5A got so much attention at first. Same with Jetway - another Chinese company that made cheap OEM boards for years but has started...
