    My PSU has only one 12v rail, why 8 wires going to mobo?

    Then make the power connectors better, not more numerous.

    My PSU has only one 12v rail, why 8 wires going to mobo?

    Heat generated is relative to how much resistance a current has to overcome, not how many conductors there are. I maintain that one thick wire generates no more waste heat than several smaller wires in parallel which have the same cross-section of copper, seeing as how the resistance is the...

    Then 2 thick wires going to teh mobo. Edit: Sorry, 1 thick wire going there, one coming back.

    My PSU has only one 12v rail, why 8 wires going to mobo?

    I'm just wondering why every 5 years they add more 12v pins to the motherboards. All of the 12v power comes from the same place in the PSU, and 4 of the wires connect to the same spot on the mobo. What electrical advantage could this have over having just 1 wire which is really thick? Seems to...

    VAIO extremely slow

    Yep, my brother routinely runs spyware/virus checks. And to forrehmmnd: No offense taken. I personally build my own desktop PCs, I'm not into all of the added garbage that the OEMs install. I built my brother's last PC, but unfortunately I was living out of town, so I couldn't drop by to fix...

    VAIO extremely slow

    My brother has a Sony VIAO desktop, model VGC-RB34G. I believe it has a P4 3GHz CPU. It feels slower than my Toshiba Satellite laptop with 1.6GHz Celeron processor when it comes to loading up programs. We put in another 512MB DDR, so now it has 1GB total RAM, and that sped things up only...

    The AGP outlook (reopened and updated 01-19-2006)

    My XP2500m clocked at 2.4GHz and my 6800GT own. When the card gets too slow for new games, I'll OC it. But yeah, I agree with the theory that it's all about money (since when is it not?). We had ISA slots for years after PCI came out.. why the rush to get rid of AGP? I think I'll wait 2-3 years...

    Low Budget Vid Card

    64MB GeForce(TM) 4 Ti or Radeon(R) 9000 video card So a GF4 Ti card will run it, according to them. In my personal opinion, F.E.A.R. is playable with <30fps in single player, but then I made use of bullet time a lot. :P

    Why should we care about 3DMark?

    But I know 2003 does a CPU test, not sure about the later version. I mainly use the 3Dmark programs to see what differences in my settings make. As for trying to get higher marks than your friends, well.. it's silly. People go and turn down the settings in their drivers to get the crappiest...

    Best BIOS for XP2500+ Mobile with NF7-S rev 2.0?

    Thanks for the reply. I think it's tictak who provides this particular bios. It's very nice anyways. Was running windows at 240FSB with my Crucial CAS 3.0 RAM running at 2.5 and lower timings all around. Not stable though, but I couldn't even boot at 220 before. It ran prime 95 for 6 hours...

    How do I take advantage of soundstorm??

    NF7-S is a soundstorm board. The way I see it, saying that I should have investigated more to be certain that the nVidia audio processor was actually involved in the sound production of my SoundStorm board is tantamount to saying that I should have also done investigation before buying my...

    Best BIOS for XP2500+ Mobile with NF7-S rev 2.0?

    Well, I downloaded the Mantarays XT bios, and it works great. FU Abit! Get your act together and give us a BIOS that delivers on your promise of being THE mainboard manufacturer for overclockers! Sad when someone can hack something in their spare time to be better than what an entire software...

    Best BIOS for XP2500+ Mobile with NF7-S rev 2.0?

    Wow, I would have thought that someone around here would have had experience with this combination of CPU/Mobo. One of the best overclockers among Bartons, and best mobo to support it.

    Best BIOS for XP2500+ Mobile with NF7-S rev 2.0?

    Hello all. I have an NF7-S Rev. 2.0 and I've flashed to the newest BIOS version available on the Abit website. loaded BIOS defaults, etc. I'm running an XP2500+ mobile CPU. This processor should have the multipliers unlocked, and yet the machine refuses to post at most multiplier settings. The...
