Hey Sock. Just gonna let you know, that the front side bus of a 2400+ is only either 266 or 333. If your ram is gonna be a 400 mhz DDR, you should get a Chip that can actually handle 400 FSB. If you do want to keep the higher speed ram, I suggest going for a higher FSB capable Chip. Otherwise, you're spending unneeded cash on the extra RAM. If you do stick with the 2400, again, i suggest going to lower speed ram. Either or, if the Chip is a lower FSB speed than the RAM, then the RAM will run the same speed as the FSB. Therefore, spending more money on the RAM would cancel out the speed upgrade, making the more money you spent a waste. I might sound like I'm rambling, but I have some knowledge First off, price difference between PC2100, PC2700, and PC3200 memory isn't much. Memory rated at speed beyond that are when prices differ greatly. I would suggest that you get the amd 2500+ mobile which has a 333mhz fsb. The 2400+ has a 266mhz fsb. Since amd's are dual pumped the actual fsb speed is half of the effective speed advertised. 2500+ = 166mhz fsb, 2400+ = 133mhz fsb. At stock speeds yes the memory will not run @ 400mhz. But Socky wants to overclock. For example the 2400+ mobile uses a multiplier of 15 and a fsb of 133mhz, so 15 x 133 = 1995mhz cpu speed. Since this mobile cpu is multiplier unlocked you could change the multipier to say 11.5 and then raise the fsb to 200mhz, so 11.5 x 200mhz = 2300mhz cpu speed. Since the fsb was raised to 200mhz that ddr400 memory will be allowed to run @ 200mhz (effectively 400mhz). If slower memory was used in this situation he was need to use a memory divider to lower memory speed without lowering the fsb so that the memory would run stable. So yes its possible to run you memory @ 400mhz with a Xp2400+ mobile. edit: just realized the 2500 mobile is 266mhz fsb unlike the desktop version being 333mhz.

You would not be able to hide your external ip(the one your isp provides you) , because then browsing web pages would not work otherwise. You must protect yourself in other ways. Antivirus will protect you from viruses, scripts, and trojans. A firewall is a must these days which will block most ports not in use.

Oh just remembered that some A64 systems are picky when it comes to brand choice of memory. I would get a brand that is recommended by the mobo manufacturer. On the left hand side of this web page will show you supported memory for this board. Note that Geil memory is not recommended although that doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that they haven't tested it. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo_Platinum&class=mb

I have never heard of a mobo manufacturer put them on floppy for you. So don't count on it. You will need to consult the manual to help in explaining the method in doing this as it may vary with manufacturers. Basically they are either called storage drive drivers or raid drivers. Depending on the mobo, sometimes there are two controllers for sata. For example on my motherboard I have a Promise raid controller with two sata ports that support Raid 0 & 1. It also has a Via raid controller with two sata ports that support Raid 0 & 1 & 0+1. If your board has more than one controller make sure that the drivers extracted to the floppy disk is for that controller. It's good to have another working computer nearby with an OS installed so that you can make the driver floppy.

I have the 3200+ with 1mb cache (clawhammer). They run very fast. Only allows to run memory single channel but its not necessary as the memory controllers are built into the cpu instead of the northbridge cpu so it isn't bandwidth starved like Pentium 4's which benefit from running dual channel.

First of all stay away from that hitachi hard drive. It is crap. I rma two in a row and finally just got a refund. Spend a couple more dollars and get a western digital, seagate, or maxtor. One of the drives would not detect. The other worked for one day and all data and the partition was corrupted and the hitachi diagnostics said it was defective due to excessive shock. If your staying with 7200 rpm drives you can just get a pata drives instead. It would run the same speed, the only advantage which is a good advantage is that the cables are smaller. If you get a sata drive just remember you will need drivers from your motherboard Cd onto a floppy disk before installing windows.Otherwise everything looking good. As Mac suggested if you going with Nvidia 6800 get the GT model even if it doesn't have the fancy aftermarket cooler on it.If going with A64 get the Nforce3 250gb chipset as Mac suggested. If you want to overclock in the future make sure the board has an agp/pci lock which I believe all the boards with the chipset recommended does.

It's true that ATI drivers for mobile, they say to get from the manufacturer of the laptop. Check Hp's site to see if there are available for download. If not just a guess and don't know if this would work but may there is a different manufacturer that uses the same hardware and has the driver on there site.

A friend of mine has a radeon 8500 and its does ok playing doom3 on medium settings.

You seem to be in the right track. You probably will need some kind of geodesic/survey tool to measure the height and make sure that you are really pointing to the second Antenna. With Length 2.4GHz coax cable cause very fast RF deterioration. I.e. you shold Install the WAPs on the Antenna's masts and run CAT5e and power (Or POE if your hardware is POE capable) down to your source. All of this must be adequately protected from the Weather elements, other wise one lighting storm and it is Toasted.I personally would not like my hardware outside.Other things to consider are these. 1. that signal will be out there for anyoine to grab. 2. You may be in violation of FCC rules by mounting a High power radio transmitter. 3. Weather will affect the thing quite a bit. Basically every thing that you look at would cost alot and You have to have line of sight as well so may need to mount the thing UP HIGH and if not being licenced it would be like speeding with your hazard lights on. The last other thing is read your TOS with the ISP. I doubt they would allow you to connect you neighbor into it much less beem that signal 2 miles away.

Well I've registered for a download. I recieve a link in my email. I'll post back after I try it out.

If you have a 32-bit processor then there would be no value in this OS.

lol, thats retarded

I only installed it on my intel cpu laptop, so I have not install on my amd64 and have nothing to report. I've heard from a couple other people with these cpu's that have not experienced any problems so far.

http://news.com.com/Windows+update+harbors+AMD+conflict/2100-1016_3-5326707.html?tag=nefd.top it pretty much says that AMD's 64 bit CPUs may not be compatible with Service Pack 2. anyone encounter any problems yet? the article stated that AMD 64 cpu owners should bypass install of the service pack.
