And found this with an hour left on the auction

I got one of them smaller size signs, but it looks nice the way it is together with a gas mask. I think I got it for $10.

They've got those up on ebay all the time...usually in big lots of them.

no props for owning one unless you stole it

I take computer parts from hotels and put them in mine. Soon I will be the proud owner a 3.2ghz P4 processor. That is.. not until I learn how to put it in and take it out.

Nobody should proud of owning a P4. It's really just a miniature space heater.

<3 AMD

Well, yeah, except that the new Core 2 Duos actually kick the shit out of anything AMD's currently got. It's just that the P4s were complete turds. Funny part is that these new Intel chips are basically just souped up Pentium IIIs.

I have AMD64 FX-53, got it pretty much when it came out, and I'm happy with it. The only damn annoying thing is that my memory controller has fucked up, so I can only run on 512 RAM instead of my usual 1024... And I don't know whether it's the memory controller within my motherboard or processor :@

Any advice?

Can't you just upgrade your RAM? I don't know computers.

Yes, you can.

That doesn't help if it's a problem with the motherboard or something like that.

Virtual memory is not nearly fast enough to replace physical. Although, better virtual memory in addition to his 512 megabytes than none at all, of course.

Frater Perdurabo: The only way you will know is by using another processor or motherboard. If it still doesn't work, it's the other component that is faulty. But with this new generation of processors which has recently emerged, perhaps you wan't to get rid of your current CPU/motherboard configuration altogether some time soon. Core 2 Duo is looking hot.

Have you checked the actual memory module? One of your 512 RAMs might have gone bad.

TinyTeeth, you are banned.

I was actually thinking about getting a new motherboard (provided that it's the fault of the motherboard), but my problem is that I have a Shuttle, so it's a pain to dismantle, replace components, etc.

Besides that, I just got this bad boy about a year ago so I'm not exactly rushing to get a new one. My stats are:
AMD 64 FX-53
1024 RAM (1/2 of that now -_-) Dual sticks of Corsair XMS3200 512
ATI Radeon x800 XT Platinum Edition
my shitty motherboard: NVIDIA nForce3 250

That's pretty much it. Apart from that, I got a 400 gig HDD and DVD-RW, etc. All the goodies. I just wish that my damn RAM worked though -_-

I ran memory tests on both of the chips. I can start the computer up with either one of them inside, but when I put both in, the computer usually fails to boot

edit: at the moment, I have assigned 768-1536 MB for virtual memory, should I increase that?

update your bios or mainboard drivers, mango

I miss my p2, it was like an immortal mule. With proper tweaking, there wasn't anything I couldn't run on it. Now it's all BIG FUCKING NUMBERS TIMES TWO r30000 X64 BONANZA TRIPOD MASTURBATION and nothing to show for it -- a few years and your comp chokes on notepad.

Yeah, like back in the days when I still used to have my 486 lol.
