For anyone in Europe still interested in these CPU's, Komplett has them:

Doubt they give much extra performance over a Sempron 64, but they are at a great price.

Im going to give it a try but this program crashes XP with my Abit NF-7S v2 if I let AutoFSB change the FSB by more than about 25 mhz. I hear other people have the same issues.

Handbags, ladies?

Damn your eyes sir for making me spit my mouthful of tea over my monitor screen. Funny though

Im interested to know if a P4M would work in my desktop replacement Acer 427LC? It currently has a desktop P4 chip in but the chipset is the 845MP (mobile chipset). It would definatly make the thing run more quietly and give longer battery life if a mobile chip would work at its default voltages.

From what Ive read underclocking does very little to reduce heat output, its all about voltage really. Try: http://www.cpuheat.wz.cz/html/AXP_multiplier/AXP_Multiplier.htm This might allow you to soft change the voltage in windows. Then again it may cause you PC to explode which will Im sure for a b...

Thanks for the info, Ill be aware of that. Im hoping that then new rev 2 Nforce 2 boards (ultra 400) are running cooler than their older counterparts so changing that NB fan for a heatsink shouldnt be a problem. Another theory unfortunately... Has anyone thought of a good use to put all these spare ...

...and how often is Shrove Tueday in your house :roll: ß Try dropping the Shrove and your about one seventh of the way there. :) Ive decided to go for a abit NF7-S revision 2 and a 1700+ t'bred. Ill change the multiplyer to 8.5x, the vcore to 1.4v or 1.3v and the bus speed to 166 in the Bios. When ...

When a plate of pancakes is in front of my great fat northern gob, they arnt just startled, they're bloody terrified... For anyone interested in underclocking in windows it looks like from the the reviews that they Aopen boards cant do multiplyer adjustment or FSB underclocking within windows (the u...

DDR SDRam is a real power hog (10-15w per 256 Mb stick at 133 MHz I believe) so underclocking it doesnt hurt either. Have you seen comparative power figures for different memory types ? ß[/quote] I cant remember where I got the info, it could have been from an article on PC power consumption on Dan...

For uses I mention (downloading and running windows) an Athlon XP at 750 with 66 Mhz FSB is more than suffcient. If anyone knows a motherboard that allows mutiplyer adjustment on the fly, that would also be an excellent option. DDR SDRam is a real power hog (10-15w per 256 Mb stick at 133 MHz I beli...

Although Im more interested in power consumption than in silence (although the two go hand in hand to some extent) Ive been experimenting with my system in order to reduce the clockspeed whilst running overnight downloads. Using CPUFSB on my ECS K75SA (SIS 735 chipset) Ive been succesful at underclo...
