Stability question

I fired up my old BP6 while I'm waiting for an Athlon Mobile to replace my dead cpu and noticed I'm having the same problem I've always had, computer locks up with the sound stuttering when playing games. I've got 2 400's that I got from Allstarshop running at 550. My vcore is set at 2.2 but runs be...

Vcore problem

I have both Vcores set to 2.2. Sandra says they are both around 2.16 while motherboard montiro says cpu 0 is 2.16 but cpu 1 is 1.52. Cpu 0 has always run about 2 degress celsius hotter, right now they are at 43 and 41. Who do you think is right?

I did find a post saying it was not uncommon for Live cards to have problems with SMP. Can anybody reccomend a good card for SMP. I do have an old SoundBlaster AWE ISA card I could use.

Yes the caches were disabled. Setting the cpu speed has been very bizarre. I orignally tried the stock settings 433/66 but when booting up it would report it as 400 and refuse to boot. I had to disable the speed hold and set it to 6.5x 94 mhz. It reports this as 500 but it finally would boot. I'm th...

When it booted bac...

The boot screen says its the RU bios and the HPT125 bios. I tried hitting f6 during the win2k installation to install third party drivers but it doesnt seem to acknowledge it and goes on to the hardware detection.
