nice beer,

3300 are you sure ???

Nice, and welcome to the 'Light' side, errrr re "Dark" side. :D
sorry if ya felt laughed at! not nice, not nice at all :p

If you are into tweaking
In my asus Bios, there is a memory setting to enable the
1T command. I found that helped with seti classic, so still use it.
- My memory is Premium, which is a step above standard, nothing special; not like the Corsair in this Giga-Mobo.(which has no 1T control)

Found this:
Command Rate This is the setting that selects the speed of the SDRAM signal controller. If set to 1T the memory controller is running in synchronization with your bus speed. 1T will increase your memory bandwidth but a LOT of memory brands will really have trouble running this at decent speeds. This setting will have to be played with a LOT while your increasing your FSB speed. It does in fact increase your memory bandwidth but will often lower your max bus speed so much that it just isn't worth using.

Hey beer, in what will this mean green machine be used? :D

[Ototero]

3300+ Are you sure, they only made 3200+ or 3400+.

Still.....welcome to AMD Users ;)

Are you now going to throw your old machine away :shock:

[meckano]

Wow, actually got my premium ram looking stable.
from
2.5-3-3-7
to
2-3-3-6, w/ 1T command

Too bad this mobo doesn't have settings, I'd get the Corsair stuff doing magic. ;) (it's stuck at 2.5-3-3-8, 2T command :p )

If you don't know what I am talking about, I'll say now, I don't know enough to explain it, but I make changes, run burn-in software, check temperature.
I do Not play with voltages. No death wish here lol

[Empty_5oul]

thats what i meant ototero when i posted before.

[Jeff]

I am so proud of you!

[Beerknurd]

3300+ Are you sure, they only made 3200+ or 3400+.

Still.....welcome to AMD Users ;)

Are you now going to throw your old machine away :shock:

3300+ is what is says on the box.... 2.4 Ghz. Yall are the experts on these things...

Here is the exact cpu I bought...

Beerknurd's AMD

And no I am not throwing anything away....

[AMDave]

Nice rig.

The borged P4 sitting on the floor in my study is in exactly the same case.

HP do a good software install and good updates and restore settins too. I only had to remove the "Internet assistant" software because it was doing random web searches and pulling in viruses and spyware like nobody's business. I'm not sure if the owner put that on there or if it was part of the original install.

One thing - you are going to enjoy that PC.

Congratulations.

Welcome to the brotherhood :D


Ototero:
Throw away? Just how cheap are CPUs in England today ?
Hey. Look at it this way. You can breath a sigh of relief. You can pay out your mortgage now without having to buy Beer an AMD now.
