    OC P4 630 equiv to 3200+

    OK, i want to OC a P4 630 (3GHz) to match a AMD64 3200+ 939 Venice CPU in gaming. Q1: how high to OC the 630? Q2: how high to OC to match 3500+ Venice? I would buy a AMD in the first place if I could get a new M/B with a AGP slot. The only ones around seem to have the lousy VIA Chipset with...

    TI4600 Ultra v's 6600GT

    Ok, 8O how much of a difference as a general rule, in gaming framerates is there between a Leadtek GF4 TI4600 Ultra and a Leadtek 6600GT AGP with average settings and no AA. (Looked for a chart with both on and could not find one) Thank's.

    i848 V's i865

    Q: 8O Do you know what the main differences (advantages/dissadvantages/problems) are between the i848 and i865 intel chipsets on ASUS Mainboards. The ASUS P4P800S-X (i848) and ASUS P4P800E delux (i865) have much the same features but price difference is considerable ie. P4P800S-X (i848) = $68...

    6600GT on a 240W PSU?

    1) 240W PSU is realy working hard to supply that G/C and the volts to it would be dropping as the load varies - could reduce performance or crash the GC/PC. Remember that if the PSU fails ie. shorts or burns out it could destroy your PC through "voltage spike". 2) There's heaps of free software...

    Windows startup and log off

    CPU @ one thousand four hundred volts (1,400V), that's a little bit high. :D

    Does the risk of overclocking justify the gain

    I'am not right up on the new games out now, but I thought that a 6600GT is quite a powerful G/C to run games with a AMD 3500+ CPU as long as you don't have all the games settings at max and resolutions not too high.

    DDR 3200 in DDR 2100 Main Board

    Q1: What about the default voltage to the ram modules - is the DDR3200 ram volts the same as DDR 2100/2700? Q2: Does the voltage requirements vary with brand and better quality types when not overclocking? Thanks,

    DDR 3200 in DDR 2100 Main Board

    Question: 8O If you were to instal DDR3200 memory into a eg. ASUS MB that is designed originally for DDR2100 or 2700 memory, would the DDR3200 just automatically underclock/would not fit/not boot/cause errors? Other Specs - Intel P4 2.4GHZ 533 FSB CPU/WinXP. Thanks :)

    Increase MB FSB Capacity

    CPU - P4 Northwood 2.4GHz 533FSB Sock 478 MB - 533 FSB :? Question to people who know or have done this before - Can a BIOS update usually increase a MB FSB capacity from 533 to 800 FSB :?: Ie. so that I can instal a P4 800 FSB Sock 478 Northwood or Prescott CPU. Thanks,

    GF4200TI 128 V's GF6600GT 128

    Thanks the GF4 4200TI is faster :wink:

    XP V's 9X Speed

    Q: Does WinXP use/need more CPU resources than 9X - ie. if you had a AMD XP 64 3500+ CPU in a PC running games with a 9X OS 512mb ram, would the framerates drop a little or game run slower if you uninstalled 9X and installed XP with the same amount of ram?

    GF4200TI 128 V's GF6600GT 128

    As a "general rule", how much faster would a GF6600GT 128 be over a GF4 4200TI 128? Thanks,

    Athlon XP 3200/3500+ 939 Max Safe Temp

    Q:1 What is the Max safe operating temp for the current Athlon XP 64 3200/3500+ S939 CPU's? Q2: What is temp that the CPU automatically underclocks - and does it underclock or shut down when it reaches this temp? Thanks,
