I reently spoke to a friend that uses an Asus P4C800-E deluxe board, what is the difference between that board and the P4C800 deluxe?

Here is the problem: There is a virus detected in a file in the system volume information folder (a dialogue box popped up from AVG) so I ran the full scan. AVG did not scan the folder so I tried PC Cillin, no luck there I tried to enter the folder and it rudely said that access was denied...

After returning home after one semester of working towards becoming a professional nerd at University, I was somewhat embarrased to find that my parents still had a 466MHz Celeron based machine (I'm writing this post on it right now). What is really amazing is that it is somehow managing to run...

After all the grief I got from my old rig, I've decided to build a new one with parts that will work well. This will bet an Asus P4C800 m'board and pair it up with a P4 2.4 GHz CPU (all with 800 MHz FSB) and 2 pairs of DDR400 RAM modules (as I understand, they can run dual channel so it acts...

My PC which is running 256mb DDR 266 RAM (1 module), Athlon XP 1900+ and MSI K7T266 Pro m'board is locking up. It locked up on XP, so I booted in to 2000, same story, 98, you guessed it. I then logged in to Linux (RH 9.0) and I have the same problem. It has been getting more frequent, now...

After a recent regreasing of my CPU, I have ended up losing one of the round pads on my CPU. Is there any way of replacing these or will a Shim be ok?

Having shut my Athlon 1.4GHz system down (due to reaching 57 degrees) I have found my cooler to be quite badly scratched. Seeing as I have an aluminium case with 4 fans, I am looking to upgrade my CPU cooler (for that day when I manage to aquire a faster CPU) and I am unsure of which is the...

I like the old X-COM UFO Defense game (Win95 Rewrite) but it is linked to the clock speed and because my old Cyrix 200MHz PC is pushing up E-Daisies, the Geoscope is proving a little problematic. Does anybody know of any programs that can trick the program in to running at a slower speed?

I am thinking about getting a PC case with a window (Lian-Li PC65b). Does anybody here know if I should abandon this and get a window with a rubber seal around it? I'm new to case modding

I have recently cleaned my CPU/heatsink (Athlon 1.4) and applied arctic silver 3 This reduced it from running at 50 degrees to running at 35-39 degrees (idle in XP) My question is what types of CPU do you all use, what temp they normally run at and what cooling measures do you use?
