Hey guys
First of all, sorry about my previous post about the win xp prof cd key.
It won't happen again, i didn't know it wasn't allowed.
Anyway, i have quite a few questions and i hope you guys can answer
all or most of them. Here goes
First, I would like to ask about ram. I'm choosing between two types
but can't quite figure out what to do. On the site, www.ocsystem.com
they hare 2 types of ram, first one is 2100 ddr 512mb for 123 dollars.
And the second is ddr 400 3200 512mb for 117 dollars. Why is this so?
the only differences i see, is that the 2100 has 5222 timings, and the
ddr 400 has 3622 timings, and the ddr 400 even comes with a copper
heat spreader already. So i'd like to know, would it be wise to buy the ddr 400 and then buy a barton 3200 that runs at 400 later on? I'm running an nforce 2 asus a7n8x, so i would use dual channel.
Second, i'd like to ask what i should put in my asus board bios settings.
Things like ram sync and voltages and such.
Third, should i get a volcano 11? i'm running a volcano 7+ but if i put my athlon 1800 at normal 133mhz, then it will run at 68 degrees. I did put the highest setting in my volcano, so now i'm running at 1144 mhz, with 100mhz, and put the voltage down and the ram voltage to 2.6 instead of 2.8, and i run at 45-50 degrees.
Fourth, my speakers, the 6.1 creative inspire, sometimes make a weird sound every so often when there is no music playing, it's like a nasty sound. I"m running an audigy 2 and i can't figure out what the problem is.
Fifth, is the viewsonic p95f+ the best 19 crt?
Sixth, should i upgrade my dual optical to a mx500, is it worth it?
Seventh, what's the best dvd drive? cuz my asus 16x is screwing up, it takes really long to load a disc, and makes noise too.
Eighth, can i use asus update to update my bios? cuz in the manuals it always says to do it through dos, but this program just lets me do it in windows, is it just as safe? whats the difference?
Ninth, is the difference between 48x asus, and 52x asus big?
ok i think thats about it, i know it's really long, but these have been things i wanted to know a long time, it would be great if anyone could tell me.
Thanks
