Go to the highest end mobo on both chipset, guarantee you will have the good result.

Prescott is easier to o/c. Your proc can even go higher than 2.8GHz.

Why not you go to google by yourself if you know that well.

Get value or performance RAM from someone? If performance RAM is worth,else value RAM is slightly higher in price.

Yup RM40-45 should be reasonable for a stick of 512MM of value RAM.Are you going for another 1GB for your system?

Someone seems like eying on the spare parts already,maybe he has a good mobo around.

Welcome to the old school club.

I'm using Delta fan here,it is even louder.

Opps,the best one would be P4 3.4EE

Your proc can support 64bits,that's why you recommend 4GB of RAM.P4 cannot support 64bits OS man.

3GB RAM in 32bits Proc is just nice.

I'm using that on my rig too. No problem so far. P3 can run but is it smooth enough to run?

P4 with integrated display would be a cons in Win7 or Vista because the their aero t effects are really high graphics depmanding.

Running Win7 themes in Win XP ? Maybe you will need to let the themes be installed first. Windows 7 advisor says ok with your current rig?

Lol,1.0 score only use without complaint.

I'm using Win7 with my 3.2GHz rig,no problem. Tried to play Frozen Throne too!

My 3.2Ghz rig is as under my signature there.


HDD burnt your P3 mobo?What a sad case.Impossible that the OS not allow you yo format your disk.

Not really powerful,we have some members here which is more high end in their rigs.

Opps,shifting to Win7 already? RTM version?

@khai84siong,HD4650 is a wiser choice. Don't worry with the memory on the card,since it is on DDR2 only it will not go high in RAM freq. 128bits and 256bits are different in bandwidth,the higher the better. The cooler on card is seems like very low profile. You may get a better cooler to cool it down.

Hmm...I guess it's bettter to take HD4650 as it has newer technology. Have no idea if the warranty will void when installing a 3rd party cooler.

Haha,good to hear that the P4M is capable to run well in Win7 Ultimate. I see my proc is always busy to process something,guess is the background themes from dekstop.

rtm= release to manufacturing ...starter pack should be something lite from the full version,not too sure with it too!

No problem,go for HD4650. I bet you will be very happy with it.

The heatsink can be used as long as same socket. No problem.

This is S478 thread,not S423. Well i have a S423 RDRAM system too! My INtel board gone last time and replaced with Asus P4T-CM,it works great until today.

Got burn smell form your pc?

@toottut89,your PSU issue solved?Decided to grab Huntkey?

They will search drivers from their website with signed version to be installed to your PC.

@ravewar,big project over there ? Nice work log reported.

@khai84siong,you grab a P4P800?Nice board over there. But how come your RAM slot will have problem while on dual channel? Confusing here,the RAM2 culprit? Single channel seems to be working well,but could it be timing issue? Dual channel testing,maybe you can put the CL from 2 to 2.5?
