The problem of lag could be a loaded up OS. It depends. If the AMD is less loaded, it could take the plasma gun to fire with less lag.

RAM is a lot harder to OC, but if you're CPU is stable, don't mess with voltage. you can OC your GPU.

Heh, mine with a lot of ariflow goes idle at 36C. The lowest tepm I've seen on it was 19C, but I had to literally open up the window in pure winter.

Nah, I can't take that. I had a 486 and it eventually got to the garbage. This one will be faster.

Use your 2.5GB. You'll have no lo0nger to worry with that ammount in Vista.

This is Ubuntu on my Celeron 2.26. Runs with 3D effects on.

Usuakkym it's on the board or in the BIOS.

Heh, those were the prices. My first PC was an old 8008, with the old black and orange screen. Some random DOS oriented OS with Test drive and golf as games. However, the family PC was a 4004...so old, it was slow to boot. Then, the real serious PC I had a a 486 66MHZ that lasted til 2002.

Just a typo, but really drawn me in! Would of been nice.

My opinion is to borrow a friend's CD, or buy a new copy and then, reinstall Windows by erasing the Windows directory. It will be prompted if you leave the system intact.

Anyone?

Basically, this board was given and I think it has potential to work again. I can unsolder and solder the parts. Here's the deal: This motherboard has not had any problems until a SmartPower 2.0 failed. The caps in the PSU was shorting out, so the board was having pusling power. I could...

Yes.

I trust you there, but you missed the part that I do not want to use Windows XP anymore. But at least, I'm happy to hear inputs rather than just choosing another.

Okay, this isn't really easy. My WinXP Pro is crapping out on me, so I need to reformat. Now, I have several OSes. I do not wish to use Windows XP system, nor the 2k3. Windows 2000 is painfully slow, and he earlier versions are a pure joke to use. Now, I have either Vista, Linux or a MAC...

I preffer ASUS motherboards. The one I got is a very good one, and the next one is the P5B. I'm thinking for Intel boards though...we'll see. EVGA is a good brand. I never tried them, but I'm sure they're as good as ASUS.

The Athlon 64 will destroy the Celeron with ease. The reason why it's cheaper is that it's OEM, so no heatsink+fan.

No, the wiring problem is on the Truepower. That bag o' crap fried a fan controller in 15 mins. The One I repaired blown caps is a SmartPower. The wiring is great too. The Truepower has either bad wires or there is a problem in the rails.

Probably. The reason why I wired the fans is because the fans didn't work. The replacement caps are not cheap fuhjyyu. It's from a tough Socket 7board. The problem with my TruePower 1, is that the 430W I have, has very flimsy wires. It has like cuts in the wires, because if I move them in...

no, they are exact replacements. Same everything...and you know what? My True Power is a complete problem box. HDDs quitting for no reasons, boards aren't booting, 10V on the 12V Rail...nice. Lately, the kid's been more quieter on those problems. SmartPower stuff isn't the best thing, but...
