Why wast your money

JMD

Can anyone tell me why a person would pay all that extra money to up grade from a 933 prossessor to a 1 gig. Is there any differance in speed, I don't think so. And why spend the extra for the 1. 5gig when you can save the money and by the 1.

Windows 2000 Professional and voice modem

Marsha

I have Windows 2000 Professional and am running WinFax TalkWorks Pro 3. 0, but I cannot locate a voice modem which is compatible with Windows 2000. I had no problems with Windows 98 and an earlier version of WinFax, but upgrading has meant my computer cannot answer my phone.

1.2 Ghz Tbird 200 Unlocked vs 1.2 Ghz Tbird 266

Mark W

I am thinking of jumping on the AMD bandwagon any day now. Is there a difference between an unlocked 1. 2 Tbird running at multiplier of 9, 133 fsb and the new Tbirds made to run at 133 fsb? Is there any reason to get one over the other? Also, any suggestions about putting a new tbird rig together would be welcome.

Dual Socket 370 + VIA

weerin

Well, its time to buy a new machine. After using the 440bx chipset and a dual slot 1 board (gigabyte 6bxd) for a long time, it is time for something new. The 440BX was stable and performed well, it was a really great chipset.

Hard drive RPM?

Brian Frank

Okay, how much of a performance gain are we talking between a 7200rpm and a 5400 rpm ata100 hard drive. I play Half-life and UT as the main things that really tax my system at all. Is a 7200rpm really gonna be a major contributor to this stuff like video editing or what?.
