I really want to put my Athlon 2400+ Mobile into my Biostar 200V - the regular 2600+ Barton that's in there now is just way too hot! The only problem is, if the 2400+ is running at anything other than 800 or 1000 MHz, the system freezes after waking from sleep. Who knows why, it just does. So, I'd l...

How the heck do you mount that thing - hire elves to come in an pop the clips over the retaining tabs on your socket??

I've built an iDEQ 200V, and it's pretty quiet for day-to-day computing. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Mobile Athlons very well (won't low-power stand-by), so I've got a regular Barton 2600+ in there. Trouble is, it's hot. Really hot. It sits in a computer desk (with a door) - I punched a 3" c...

I just tried it and mine comes out of standby just fine! Except.. it never fully goes IN to standby. I still have mine sitting on a kill-a-watt, conveniently enough. Folding, it draws 85w. Idle is around 68w. In "standby" it dropped to 41w, so it definitely did something but you could hear it spinn...

I don't know how the BIOS is different on the 200N versus the 200V...At least on my 200V, multipliers from 3 to 13.5 are available. This means you can clock as low as 300Mhz (!!!) by doing 3x100 or in theory, as high as 13.5x199 for 2686Mhz. Since the 200V doesn't have any voltage options, the high...

.. and source all the leftover 1.4 - 1.6 GHz Pentium M's that Intel will have laying around after the May 1st (?) roll-out of the new models!!!

So, when you go to buy the processor, how do you know if you are getting the new core or not? It looks like all the processors are labeled "BOX", and don't give the core stepping. I'd really like one of the newer core ones, but assume that the channel is filled with old ones. Anyone know if Mobile A...

Anyone know of ANY OEM machines that support Cool'n'Quiet? I've looked, researched, and haven't found satisfactory information yet...

I just got back from Circuit City, Best Buy, and Office Depot. I was looking for the new Athlon 64 a550e Pavilion from HP, or any Athlon 64 computer that: a) Was pretty quiet as standard b) Was silent when on Stand-by (all fans off) c) Was EnergyStar rated d) Supported Quiet'n'Cool The first 2 were ...

I'm getting tired of the "coming soon!" Pentium-M motherboards, so I'm considering building a Shuttle or similar box - but does anyone know if it supports the mobile chips at stock voltages? I can't figure / find out that information. I want a pretty fast (not Epia), but quiet, and lower-power machi...
