Now this is very odd. I had a look with CPU-Z. It said it was 100 with 15x multiplier. Fair enough! But when I go into my BIOS, is says 133 and no matter how many times I exit and save, it stays the same values according to CPU-Z! I had this same problem when I first bought the computer and...

I don't know what's happened! I've just freshly installed Windows XP Pro (I was on Windows 2000) and for some unknown reason, I've lost 0.5GHz of my processor! It was an Athlon 2400 but now it it seems to think it's an Athlon 1800!! What's going on?!?!?!

How would I go about making Windows 2000 connect to my ADSL connection on startup, without me having to dial-up? I can't figure out how to do it! Thanks!

I tried that but it didn't solve any problems, unfortunately. I'm just putting it down to hardware fault and I'll get yet another replacement and hopefully, that will solve it! I'm tempted to get another drive from a different manufacturer so hopefully, that will get rid of the possiblity of...

I've got the latest nForce chipset drivers ... although I can't remember what version they are! If there are other chipset/IDE drivers that could help, could you give me a link to where they might be? Bare in mind that I do have Windows 2000. But even when the guy at the store tested the DVD...

I'm using an MSI K7N2 Delta-L (nForce2 Chipset) board ... would this make any difference, you think?

I'm currently running Windows 2000 Pro (with Athlon 2400XP, 512 PC3200 RAM, Maxtor 80GB and Radeon 9600XT) and I've been thinking of upgrading to Windows XP. I'm quite happy with Win2k but I feel it's time to move on! Is it really worth the hassle?

Hi, I bought a new NEC DVD-RW drive. So far, I've had no luck whatsoever. With most DVD tools, an error almost always occurs (usually 'whatever.exe' has generated errors and must be closed) I've tried VLC Media Player, PowerDVD, WinDVD and NVDVD and so far, no luck at all. I can play...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes anyway! Just bought a subwoofer to assist my computer's speakers. Problem is, it was part of a DigiTheatre system and I don't have the control unit to make it work. I can use the speaker and box but the sound isn't much...

Well, I fitted the RAM and after a few snags, (I dislodged the video card without knowing and was scratching my head for a while!) it works fine, even though they are different speeds. I played Farcry and some other games and the extra memory makes a massive difference. Anyway, yes I do have...

It's set at 1024x768, like it was when I last benchmarked it. after I got the low score, I installed the new Catalyst drivers but it's only made a 100 point improvement. I'm going to see if there are any new drivers for my nForce 2 chipset though, because they haven't been updated in a while...

I don't know what's going on. I bought a new 9600XT card nearly six months ago, and then was getting a score of 11000+ ... now six months down the road, I've changed nothing else about my setup/BIOS/hardware, yet I'm getting a score of 9000. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks!

I've just had a look at what memory is like at the moment ... I've found out it's a SpecTek PC2700 256MB module and there are three slots ... one green one (which it is in now) on its own and two blue ones together. Would the Corsair PC3700 module be OK to fit with it and would I just put it in...

I've got 256MB of RAM on my computer and I've decided that it's not enough! The thing is, I don't know what memory it has installed now so does it matter if the two modules are not matched? I have an MSI K7N2 Delta-L MoBo if that helps! I'm thinking of installing either OCZ PC3200 RAM or...

A couple of days ago, I placed an order for a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256MB card from overclockers.co.uk but they said it was out of stock and offered me the same card but 128MB as an alternative (with refund in price, of course!). I've actually heard that it makes more sense to get the 128...

It's ok ... I just reinstalled DX9, rebooted and hey presto, sorted! Thanks anyway!

For some reason when I try to play certain games (Need For Speed Underground ... or when I now try to run 3DMark2001 SE), the screen goes very dark and I can barely see what's there. Very wierd! Does anyone know what the problem might be? It was fine only yesterday!

I've just got hold of 3DMark2001 SE but whenever I try to load it up, it says that I need DirectX 8.1 or higher ... of course, I have DirectX 9 but it only seems to register as DirectX 8.0. Any suggestions? I've tried reinstalling DX9 and I've updated all my video and nForce2 chipset drivers...

How do you unlock a CPU and how do you change the multiplier? Also, I know have my FSB set at 133 ... would it be worth setting it any higher at all and it is safe to do so?

Well, it would appear something as simple as installing the latest drivers slipped by me because I've just done that and now I have a score of 5835!! Whoopsie-daisy!
