Oh mine is already on the way, but i've payed more than that. You don't get good deals from ebay over to Portugal without high shipping costs. Or even worse, the seller won't send to any other country that not his own. Note: Never mind!! You were talking about the CPU right? Fail on me. I plan to …

I'll have to remember that. I used to just use rubbing alcohol. Arctic Silver actually dis-suggests using automotive cleaners/solvents to clean CPUs and heatsinks, their argument is that if it has any sort of oil base (which many do) it can adversely affect adhesion of TIM<-> devices and cause poor …

High proof alcohol should dissolve/evaporate fairly quickly ("quickly" is certainly relative though - I guess if you want instant evaporation that's another story :lol:). That said, good TIM (like AS5) shouldn't need chemicals to remove (I just use a shop rag and an eraser and can get good results). …

Almost looks like I'm staring down my board. I've always been nervous that overclocking any of my PCs would shorten their lifespan, even at stock voltage. At least you're not fighting an Aureal to the death right now. I'll never bring myself to purchase a Creative product. Too bad it won't see any …

My Pentium 166 MMX gets 14fps in Quake 3, so I would say a touch low, but maybe 3dnow helps the K6-2 a lot? What FPS 66 or 100?

your performance looks ok. even k6-2 is pretty slow, and the k6's lacking of 3dnow instructions does make some difference. pure fpu performance: p55c>p54c>>k6>k6-2>>winchip2>winchip real game performance: k6-2>winchip2>p55c>k6>winchip>p54c

The k6-2 450 will be much faster especially when 3dnow! is supported in the software or benchmark.. A k6-2 will benefit quite much from a 100mhz fsb vs 66mhz fsb. According to my own benches a k6-2 @ 3x 100 is about equal to a 3x 66mhz mmx cpu in worst case scenario (fpu scores in everest 2.20). in …

I tried with a game called breakneck (n.i.c.e 2) wich has an in-game benchmark. a k6-2 @3x 100 with a voodoo3 did 24fps where a p2 @ 300mhz and a slow 66mhz fsb did a whopping 38fps!!! @ 450mhz and 100fsb the pentium did 55,5fps where my k6-3+@600mhz did only 43,7fps....... in my quake3 test(which …

The v2 will scale but only @ 640x480 imho... I use v2 12mb sli in my k6-3+@600 and with 1024x768 it is hardly a bottleneck. Lower resolutions, my p3 is much faster but at 1024x768 the v2`s are getting a much harder time and the k6-3 is just a little bit slower. Same scenario for the v3 2000, only …

Yes i have a decent power supply, dual rail, but still those 25 amps are really only required when the card is being stressed out with benchmarks or games. For testing the video card running my computer bios i shouldn't get artifacts, even if the power supply isn't strong enough. The card would beep …
