Cool...then I guess i'm not an id***..... w00t

I see 74!

I verified that when it came cause I ordered the chip on line. I also read the info on the chip itself. So, we'll see when I go hom and check it with CPUID.

The BIOS screen flows by too fast to read the CPU frequency....I haven't installed CPUID yet to check it. I'll have to check it tonight when I get out of work....Which today is my last day, leaving NYC and moving to warmer weather. wooohoo!

Back again about this new PC, I am in tweak mode with it now. Brief specs: A7N8X rev2.0 Athlon 2800+ 333FSB Corsair PC 2700 RAM (512 MB) The board came with the bus frequency set at 100, and when accompanied by a multiplier 12.5, I hope we all know we arrive at a chip frequnecy of 1250 MHz. I changed the bus frequency to 166 and keeping the same multiplier (which was the default), we now have a chip frequency of 2078 MHz or 2.08 GHz. I know the 2800+ chip is supposed to run at 2.25 GHz, which translates into keeping the bus at 166, and changing the multiplier to 13.5. Here's the kicker...when I changed the multiplier to 13.5 and kept everything else the same...it resulted in a chip frequency of 914 MHz. WTF (I have obtained a chip frequencies from the Windows+Break key combo). Any insight I could borrow from someone would be appreciated.

Look at the bottom right corner border....

I haven't, might you be able to point it out to me????

I was concerned about the weight of that thing....I'm hoping the two screws used to hold it in place will work. It is very heavy. Seriously, I'm thinking i'll be able to make breakfast on the bottom sink... Anyway...thanks for your imput. :beer:

All jokes aside regarding the description.... I whipped together a computer last night and before I installed the OS, I was reading the temperatures in the BIOS. While in the BIOS, with no software installed, the CPU was running at 114F (45C). That seems a little warm, but the sink/fan were working so no real issues there. I put an ASUS 9900 video card in, the Geforce 5800. The heat sink on bottom of the card, couldn't hold on to it due to the temperature being so hi. I could find no information on the spec ranges. I also thought I was getting the card that vents out a PCI slot, with a copper sink. I got the one that has a black and silver sink...with red on the fan. Any thoughts, why this puppy is so hot on the bottom of the card, and other than installing case fans and/or modding is this going to be acceptable?

I have had to "force" a refresh more lately.

GROLSCH if she's hot ....GUINNESS if she's not

I own and burned about 500 disks with the 12x Plextor...have no complaints. I have "upgraded" to the Lite-on 52X and am having no issues there. Have burned, over burned, and have only made one coaster...due to my own fault. I recently built a computer for someone and purchased the newest Lite-on [black]. It's a great deal for everything plus delivery at $61.00. I would recommend the Lite-On burner.

Tools>>options>>general tab>> "untick" the box that says sing me in automatically.

Feel free to spend some time in NYC and you'll get the picture....
