Also I think.....the setting concerning mem multiplyer in relation to fsb was off. NOt really to smart about that and I changed it to 2xxxB for a 333fsb and it works. Many...

    looked up the mb schematics and removing battery is NP but getting a screwdriver head btween the jumper would be a bit of a major operation since I didnt assemble the rig, and my case doesnt provide easy access to that location . <bottom right towards front , blocked by various hard drives and...

    My overclock is dead.... but why?

    but if date and time is fine doesnt that mean the battery is good? btw, the stock config is 12.5 multix 200 fsb, so its the fsb that doesnt adjust at all anymore. THis is something that Ive done many times as the mod I play really pushes the computer so once and a while it would revert back to...

    Is socket 775 future proof?

    tnks for replies. I was really thinking intel because I do love my E5200. Its performed flawlessly and was so cheap and powerful with just a basic OC on stock air. If he had more money to play with I guess I would just go with the sandy bridge for socket reasons etc as previously stated. BUt...

    Is socket 775 future proof?

    Im not sure if anyone looked at the retailer you have to deal with here. Also, there is no used market. there is no amazon, or craigs list or any of that. There is essentially one major store that I linked. If you look through it, they are still catering to agp clientele . Old. real old...
