<0> **** it doesn't have a AGP Slot
<0> http://www.nxgen.biz/ecommerce/os/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=29&products_id=441
<0> i mean I guess a lot of motherboards would take a 478 pin chips right?
<1> sure 478 is a popular socket.
<1> just of course make sure the cpu is compatable with the mobo.
<0> how can I tell?
<1> the motherboard manufacter should have a list somewhere of what cpus the motherboard can handle.
<1> gnerally if the specs match up its good, ie supports the same FSB, the the correct socket. it should be ok.

<0> are they ok together?
<1> http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us look up the mobo there, but from what i could find, looks like it does.
<0> thanks
<0> I bought it
<0> for $80 you can't go wrong
<2> I return ;x
<3> w00t
<4> would it be safe to run a Zalman Northbridge cooler on an nforce 3?
<4> in a shuttle case?
<2> sure
<4> the stock is about the same size as the zalman though, and its got a 40mm whiner
<2> its perfectly safe
<2> it just may not necessarily be stable under periods of heavy load
<4> lol
<4> thats dumb
<2> ..
<2> you asked "WOULD IT BE SAFE"
<2> yes, yes it would be.
<4> i'm fully away that it won't burn down my house.
<4> aware*
<4> I meant for the safety of the system... periodic instability I would call as potentially harmful temps
<2> probably not, but there are plenty of situations in which you can kill a mobo by not cooling the northbridge enough.
<2> which would "hurt" it
<4> bah
<4> worst case I'll 5V the 40mm
<2> because pulling the stock hsf off, chucking the fan, putting some decent thermal paste on the northbridge, reinstalling the stock hs and adding some decent quiet 60mm would be just ****ing impossible.
<4> I'll definitely use AS5
<4> as for the fan
<4> whatever I can find to mount...
<4> http://www.barbones.com/Images/sn95/image007.jpg
<2> bleh
<2> I'm sure you can find a 60x10mm fan for dirt cheap on some hardware retailer
<2> or go to a local computer store, tell them what you need and ask them if they have anything in the back
<4> I have plenty of em lying round
<4> stock AMD cooler fans
<2> well then
<4> it's a matter of concocting a mounting mechanism
<2> a couple zip ties?
<4> prolly gonna be plastic ties
<4> yeah
<5> anyone here have an ipod?
<6> yo WHAT UP
<7> Hey all
<6> yo yo yo yo yoooooo
<2> heh
<2> ****ing hell
<6> rook!
<6> rewk.
<6> you have not responded to me for like 5 days
<6> so I cut myself
<6> WANT PIX?
<2> two days of cooking 3 meals a day on a unreliable propane stove on the deck of a wildly moving boat without proper utensils, using a coffee tin as a pot, and now that I get home I burn myself heating some ****in canned soup :\
<2> Fidelity_: die
<2> not all of us live infront of the computer :p
<6> true that!
<6> i just got home from a friends ;)
<2> lol
<8> For the new AM2 chips, I see hardware sites showing up statistics that indicate that the increased cache on the AMD chips doesn't make much difference. Besides those tests, would there be any reason to get the increased cache? What does an increase do anyway?
<2> k8 chips have never gained much from cache increases
<2> this is mostly due to the incredibly low latency memory controller integrated into their dies.
<2> unlike, you know, a p4.
<8> so it would be best to get the 4200+ with the smaller cache as opposed to the 4000+ with the larger cache?
<6> rukk Ive been playing with all my ram settings all week
<6> its fun
<2> heh
<8> do those dual cores get significantly hotter?
<0> yup
<6> i keep purple stuff all in my cup
<0> dual cores run plenty hot
<2> depends if they are intel or AMD
<6> 84's when im rollin up
<8> I'll be getting AMD
<2> then the difference between a dual and single core is negligible as far as heat goes.
<2> intel is a very different story
<6> overclocking suffers
<8> ahh.. intel is hotter on the DC side, i take it.
<7> have you used a Pentium D 830 vs a Pentium 4 630 Rukk?
<6> single cores clock higher
<0> I heard the dual core 2.8ghz can be overclocked wickedly
<7> cause the 830 is a hell of alot cooler than the 630
<2> its also got a much better stock cooler
<2> but anyway
<2> the 630 is retarded.
<7> same cooler actually
<7> yeah it is, I have one
<2> really?
<2> wtf
<7> I traded a Celeron D 3.06 for it
<2> well, just proves how dumb intel can be :\
<2> lol
<2> not bad
<2> shoulda sold it
<6> bleehahah
<7> nah, the mobo in my work box is a pos. Only supports single core P4s
<5> did yall see that conroe that did 10s in pi?
<5> 5ghz conroe
<7> what was it running at, Absolute Zero?
<5> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1478875&postcount=122
<5> lol
<2> hm
<2> being on land is odd :\
<5> eh... whats that suppose to mean
<2> that being on a boat is better? ;x
<8> anyone know if DDR2 800 memory would really serve me noticably better than DDR2 667 on VMWare?
<7> 4 MB of cache on a core solo?
<6> NOE
<7> its highly unlikely drumline, Vmware isn't all that speedy to start with
<6> drumline probably not
<6> VMWARE IS LIKE
<6> ok im going to open firefox now
<6> ill come back in 3 days when its done loading
<0> get virtual server 2005 its free and FAST
<7> Vmware is fast on a dual cpu system
<7> its not gonna work for gaming, but app development and such is decent
<8> Fidelity_: VMWare wont be that bad with an AM2 :)
<6> i suppose not
<6> but its still sl000000w
<6> Im happy with my single core
<6> as a gamer...I dont really need dual core
<9> my intel d975xbx is hiding certain bios menus because my cpu isnt an extreme edition. Are there any known work arounds/hacked bios files?
<6> not going to help me for a while
<7> bah its only free for 180 days
<6> id rather upgrade to dual g80 video cards when they come out
<8> well... with the Pacifica, the overhead percentages are supposed to go down to mid single digits.
<8> Fidelity_: doesnt a second core help with gaming?
<6> no
<6> not right now at least
<8> Fidelity_: i suppose it would only for a multithreaded game
<6> It might get you like an extra 5 fps, but single cores can clock higher
<6> so it evens it out
<6> this AMD64 4000+ I have right now is running 2.85ghz
<8> nice
<7> You'll want a dual core for gaming next year
<6> doubtful
<6> id much rather have new video cards
<9> no one knows :(
<6> than a new processor
<8> I would think that the programmers will increase the threading on the games to make use of dual cores.
<8> ...and the quad cores coming out in 2007
