And my 800 ram went up to 858. Put it all back to stock for now waitin for further instruction... Don't want to fry my ram... Is...

    Overclock Pentium Dual Core E6300 GA-EP43-UD3L

    I may be able to, but haven't tried yet because Windows is already seeing it as 2.8GHz and figured maybe to motherboard needed an update or something to properly read the chip settings??

    Overclock Pentium Dual Core E6300 GA-EP43-UD3L

    it's weird because i didn't change the multiplier at all...it is showing at an 8 (plus that +0.5 setting) but windows is seeing it as 2.8Ghz. Motherboard maybe isn't reading it right? I haven't done anything to update the motherboard since I bought it and just built this pc...is there...

    Overclock Pentium Dual Core E6300 GA-EP43-UD3L

    Thanks for the info so far...couple of questions: (1) What would I need to set the FSB to for it to be at 3.0GHz? Would I have to make any other changes in the BIOS settings when I do this? (2) Whatever I need to set the FSB to to get to 3.0...what will this make my RAM go to? Is there any...

Kind of want to just get what's easily safe...

    Video freezes when move mouse around

    yes, in fact, after you mentioned that, i went back and reinstalled them, but still no improvment there. perhaps the additional strain on a cpu that has such weak specs of just moving the mouse around is too much for it forcing it to 100 percent cpu usage? in fact, i just had my task manager...

    Video freezes when move mouse around

    My streaming video freezes when I move my mouse around. I have disabled my sound and video hardware acceleration which helped make the video smoother and not choppy, but i still can't figure out how to make it so the video doesn't freeze up when I move the mouse around. Any ideas? On an...

    Dual-Core or Core 2 Duo

    core 2 duo is the better processor architecture, so i think even though it's .4 GHz less in it's listed speed, the core 2 duo will still be faster. you can't compare GHz across different chip arcitectures equally as far as i know.

    Since i installed AVG my computer wont run the internet properly

    maybe try Avast instead of AVG....Avast is another great free one, and as far as i know, the free version of AVG doesn't check for rootkits where the free version of Avast does.

    How to 'Bomb' a PC?

    i think you are looking for something like killdisk. just google it, or other similar programs. i've used killdisk before, that's why i can recommend that one. you can burn it onto a disk, then run the disk to wipe you hard drive repeatedly so that recovery is pretty much impossible. useful...

    over air hdtv receiver what do i need?

    i think you just would need a hdtv antenna...just google search products and look at some. they have them just about everywhere..there seems to be mixed reviews on how good they work..probably depending on how far you are away from the broadcast towers. they don't seem too expensive, so you...

    Best way to scan in and email a document?

    What is the best way to scan in and e-mail a document using a Dell all-in-one printer 922? I have done it, but it saves my scan as a jpeg image file, and then the file is too large when I send it in an email. I would like to be able to save it and email it as a .doc file using open office...
