Dayem, they just did it to a Barton!

Interesting Sudhian article, Opening the nForce Floodgates--Modding the AthlonXP for a 400 MHz FSB.: ". . . XtremeSystems . . . forum readers . . . have found a solution to this problem. . . . The problem, apparently, is that the nForce2 (and possibly the KT400 as well) destabilizes when the...

Oops, that's Saturday 2/8.

I am pretty satisfied with my Brother HL-1440 - good quality and speed, horizontal paper feed, and a print driver with manual-feed duplex mode. A little loud, though. $200 after instant rebate at OfficeMax. And my daughter likes the Samsung ML-1210 I got her. The newer ML-1430 model is $170...

Sorry to be pedantic, but I believe you meant abecedarian. (Af first, I just thought you made up the word, with "abced" as a typo of "abcde".)

Just as an aside, what CD-ROM drives do you like?

Could you elaborate on that one, if you please?

FSB Limitations How often, if ever, is an Athlon "FSB limited" when it isn't "MHz limited"? For instance, an unlocked Tbird that works fine at 100 MHz FSB × 12 multiplier, but doesn't work at 133 MHz × 9, or that works at 100 × 12.5 but not at 166 × 7½? Or an unlocked XP Tbred that works at...

According to replies to my cross-post at SR, the ASUS Nforce2 boards have a (retro) socket thermister, so I could get an indication of my 1200's temps. Since I've heard ASUS mobo's bad-mouthed recently, and Epox (maybe) has that soft-unlocking BIOS thing, I'm looking longingly at the EP-8RDA...

Thanks for the replies so far. I intend to get 2 PC2700 DIMMs and run memory and FSB sync-ed at 166 if possible, otherwise at 133 (the FSB of my current Tbird [which the KT7 doesn't support, of course]), until I can get either a 166 FSB Tbred or an unlocked 133 one (either hard-unlocked, or...

I'd like to do a stepped upgrade to an Nforce2 mobo but keep my Athlon 1200 non-XP processor for now. Epox support says it "should work fine". Any experiences or hear-say? Will CPU thermal monitoring be the problem I anticipate? I'd love to get to 166 MHz FSB. My (factory unlocked) 1200 is...

Back on-topic, I haven't found any confirmation of that Inquirer item on multiplier O/C'ing "locked" Athlons in the past few days. Has anyone else seen any verification of this information, or even tried it themselves?
