939, and I check the voltage in the setup menu I tried cnet to find a voltage checker that would run in windows with no hits.

I ran SANDRA and it gave me the following warning, Warning W236 - (Vcore) is higher than rated maximum. Unless the reported value is incorrect or the processor is a different type that is not correctly detected, the voltage is higher than it should be. If you’re over-clocking the processor you...

My old desktop took a dump, so on my new system I go through and hook up my old HD's to the slave to claim my data and it worked fine untill I get to the drive where XP is installed. I get a OS not found error message on boot up. I'm confident that drive is undamaged, how do I keep my system...

I need help in weighing the pros and cons of installing the 64 or the 32 bit edition of XP on my new build as I curse my lack of knowledge of linux and there compatibility issues. So which should I run on my new AMD 64?

Powered up great, and I felt silly. Thanks all. And the CPU required no pressure when installed it litterally fell in to place. The only thing stubborn as always with me for some reason was ram. It always seems like it requires more pressure than is safe. Now I just hope people at my next...

This is my first build, though I've done every component before with the exception of the mobo and proccessor and power supply. What can be damaged if not installed properly? despite being on my triple check I can't bring myself to power it on. Trouble shooting I am capable of if something is...

My box has standard DDR The card i'm interested in has DDR II memory Compatible? I apologize but last time I upgraded they didn't have DDR II I'm considering a Arcade FX GeForce 6200 / 256MB DDR2 / AGP 8x / DVI / VGA / HDTV / Video Card It's the only card I found under a 100$ that has HD...

Why do you prefer the Asus P5WD2-E over the D975XBX The specs are comparible, The D975 runs on average 50$ cheaper and has conroe compatibility (supposedly)

I've found many reliable sources that say the D975XBX rev 304 has been confirmed conroe compatible, It's a bit pricy for a mobo but Considering what i'm saving on the d 805 it balances out and my build should be ready later for upgrade. But there consistent statments I see is that any conroe...

The D975XBX looks good, and the reviews suggest it's great for a first time builder, I can pick it up locally Tax free in oregon for 179$ so this is what I'm leaning towards. Has anyone tried a overclock on it with the D 805? And not to be skeptical but anyone know where I can find a bit more...

I'm moving on from simple upgrades to attempting my first build, and was seeking mobo recommendations, I liked the sound of this project on many levels. I was seeking a mobo that someone has already had good success with and was confident would work with conroe. I'm only planning to OC to...
