  1. The only thing 64bit will offer at this point in time over 32bit is better security, that's it. You will not get any speed increase on most applications, and at this time in development you may even experience a slowing of the application.
  2. Well, you have to be MS certified, get certified and you can copy all day long. Been such a long time, I can't tell you exactly what cert it is but you will need to start here. http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcpexams...e/findexam.mspx
  3. No need to flash bios as of yet it is not your troubles. You can change the the FSB in the bios to get it to recognize your CPU size. First I think the problem is with your OS recognizing your new hardware. you will need to call Microsoft and tell them you did an upgrade and reinstall XP. Thats if you have XP
  4. Visit www.pcpitstop.com run full test.. it will list everything that is running on your computer and will categorize them in suspicious,not needed ext... it will also tell you how to make your system run better. no need to buy any of the programs it offers you to buy just do allot of reading and it will show tell you everything you need to know in order to do it manually. The programs offered for sell are just an easier way to do it but all the information is provided for doing it manually as well
  5. Just wanted to know the story behind this.. are you buying a new case or are you buying a new mobo?
  6. 1. if computer has onboard sound Turn computer off reboot Press delete key to enter the bios (could be f8 ext.. depending on your bios manufacture (usually says at bottom of screen what key to press when Boot up screen )) Look for "onboard sound" or something relating to "onboard audio" Select "disable" Press F10 and then press enter (this will save changes) let boot all the way then shutdown If no onboard sound then skip 1 2. Turn computer off Open left side of the computer case Types of computer cases There are many different types of cases available, far too many to be covered in one tutor
  7. Okay i am going to recap a little here for you things you may want to try 1. Heat Yes, I know you already looked into this, Yes, the common response to heat is take a can of air and clean it. This is my way in diag heat issues, Take a house fan open the side of the case and turn on high blowing into the computer while you are doing whatever made it crash before. If this helps at all then "Buy a can of PCB cleaner" (Printed circuit board) at Radio shack ext... Unplug the computer and let sit for oh about 20 minutes (just unplug it before you goto the store to buy the can and do it when you get
  8. Buy a new one is the only way to update power supply All of them, if possible Motherboard Video card Modem Any other hardware you may have go to the manufactures web site and get them Well, the your going to have to open case and get a flash light and start looking for numbers on the components to get this info. write them down and start entering them into Google and you will get you make model and manufacture by doing so
  9. I posted that same statement the other day in another forum Here I know all about it pretty much when it comes to cooling and price/quality. But when it comes to Heatsinks there is a great difference in quality/performance. All depends on what you plan on using your computer for or how much money you want to waste
  10. Xoide is another shop you should bookmark. they have terrific sales that beat zipzoom,newegg and pricwatch sometimes. very trustworthy site well. Good luck!
  11. Thermaltake Silent Boost for K7 and 370 $23.69 Or Thermaltake Volcano 12 $26.89 Both would work fine
  12. Okay no one said you didn't know what you was doing. you asked a question that had have been having a recurring problem of overheating and I've used artic silver5, 5-6 times... I would be looking for the reason it runs a little warm and I'm just doing the process of elimination. You say you know what you doing Okay then why do you say i have been told i could have contaminated it with oils from my hand which I very well could have the pics clearly show gloves being warn during the process.. But if you insist on not really trying to find out why and would like to buy a new heatsink and fan t
  13. Here is the instructions with pictures on the proper way to apply paste. This so happens to be arcticsilver as well. How to apply paste About the fan, this could be a reason but in most cases you will start to hear a noise from the fan or it will just totally stop. do you keep the fan + heartsick clean of dust? What brand of motherboard do you use? some like Asus have a motherboard monitor built into the bios that pretty much would detect a dysfunctional fan
  14. My Xp3200 system stay at 95F ( 35 C) and back when it was my gaming machine (have a 64 machine now) it never went over 128F (53.33 C). This was done all with the stock heatsink. I would guess your putting to much thermal paste on. Your only supposed to use less then a size of a grain on the CPU before attaching the heatsink. i have a pic somewhere give me a sec and i will try to find it.
  15. I used to enjoy watching Tech TV's Call for Help and The Screen Savers. But those days of good shows have long past and will never be as good as before. Reason: It's just like the old TV shows, Bewitched, Dukes of Hazard and others, the new shows lack the original players. You just can't replace Daisy Duke with a Blond and it be the same. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh i don't know about that. Jessica Simpson sure did look really good in that show LOL
