I have an old socket 478 motherboard and I checked it's specs it's supports up to prescott processors.Currently I'm on willamette,but can I fit a socket 478 northwood processor into my motherboard?

Ok here is my question,my ram is ddr2667 running at dual channel.When I open my cpu-z is seems my ram frequency is running at 315 instead of 333.What's the problem.My rig is stated in my siggy.Thanks alot people as I'm still quite new to computers.

To determine ram chipset you can try looking at the chips on the ram.You will see the manufacturer of the chips stated on the ram stick.(Correct me if I'm wrong)

Ok I got a supernoob question,my motherboard supports up to ddr2-800 rams.If just say if I were to put in DDR2-800 memory modules will it run at 400mhz or must I do something for it to run at 400mhz.What about ddr2-1066?

Can an old VGA cause short circuit.The graphics card is all along been kept nicely in the box it came from without

moisture or anything.I wanted to put it inside an old agp motherboard of mine,the card is radeon9000 by the way

agp4x.Pc was using on-board at first then i decided to the new card in then my computer would't even display

anything then i took it out inserted it again still no image.Figuring the card is spoilt i've decided to use back my

on-board,unfortunately my monitor then didn't display anything.The graphics card was working fine the last time I tried it.

Anyone knows where I can download the hotfix for HD2600XT for 3dmark03 till 06

I got a stupid question here.I have an 8600gt ultra.Does overclocking it 50mhz causes any damange in a long run if I were to leave it on at night?The stock speed is 650mhz.

I know this is a Noob question but how do you remove your CMOS batteries?Do I force it out or is there any special way to replace it?I'm afraid I might spoil the motherboard or something..
