i assume you mean like a cpu usage monitor. rainmeter is nice and will display both cpu useages and lots more if you set it up too do so (requires making a skin for it basically unless you find one you like).
i use rainmeter on litestep

wow man this was a hell of a del. if only i saw it sooner

should be able to go up to the limit which is 137gb i think. higher than that will need a new controller card (which some of the larger hard drives do include)

diligently

take your front side bus speed and divide it by that fraction and thats what the other things (like pci slots will run at). so its best to try and get it close to 33mhz as thats what they are most happiest at.

most of the actual useable motherboards i have laying around will be used as i always find some random use for them. The ones i know i wont use are the 386 ones (though i also have 386 to 486 daughtercard upgrades for them but still i dont use them). No socket 7s though, just lots and lots of socket...

Motherboard monitor lists all 0s for the temperatures of the computer for the cpus and case and such. It obviously isnt 0. The bios seems to read the correct calues (around 30some celcius under almost no load as its not really doing anything). it would be nice to get some real temp readings somehow ...

alright here goes. I have three 486s one with a maxed out 96mp of ram and the others with 32. These have some isa network card. The one with 96mb of ram has a triden vl bus graphic card and i dont have a clue what the others have anymore. THe BP6 which is dual 366s@466 has the p3-500s linksys networ...

lol wow i didnt even think about the simple idea of just getting a new fan to do this. yeah i hear the stealth fans are quiet good at doing this so i would look into those.

you can buy things to do this but buying things tends to be the less cool way of doing things. all you need to do is create a voltage regulator which can be done by using a variable resistor to eat some of the voltage for the fans. of course this would lessen your cooling power but i guess you would...

i dont know actually, its one of the many random free things i got (the bp6 was another) and so well i ended up pulling my linksys network card out of my p3-500 system and using that instead. I have a new problem now of motherboard monitor not working as it lists all 0s for the temperatures. I dont ...

alright well the computer is slightly more stable and happier now (yes useing happy for lack of better word). I think the reason it only finds half the ram is i have high density ram and i think the motherboard only takes low density ram

Ok I got WinXP to install and the system working almost how its suppose to. For some reason though it thinks i only have half the ram that i do (and yes my ram is only single sided) which i think might have to do with the error it gave me earlier. Also my ISA network card needs a driver and i do not...

So i finally built my system and started it up. I have my IBM Deskstar connected to the white ports (i think thats the Highpoint controller) and the DVD drive conencted to the black ports (the regular ide ports for the motherboard i guess). On turning the compouter on, this happens. VGA BIOS comes u...

Most linux apps are smart enough to use both processors as they are mostly smp aware (assuming you have built your kernel to support it). Also almost all BeOS apps are smp capable and BeOS itself is silky smooth with dual processors. Its really worth buying BeOS (or waiting the agonizing long time f...

no. lower your fsb to make them both run at 533 or something lower than what you have and it will eventually work

Has anyone used all the slots on the motherboard at the same time and had the thing run stable. I already am going to use 3 of the pci slots and one of the isa slots and am thinking of buying a ide raid card instead of using the hpt controller and well i was wondering how well it would work out. on ...

anyone hear of raidmax. I found a raidmax 400 watt (all black ) power supply for $50 shipped. It is quite a good price and its all black and has three colored leds on its fan which makes it look even cooler. anyways yeah is this a good power supply or should i stick to the antec

alright yeah thanks. i am trying to not spend to much money so yeah i will stick to old school celeron 366s. also i got the memory as 2 256mb sticks as yeah i quickly looked a bit up on the board and found it cant get higher than 768. i am looking into a antec case with 300 watt power supply as we s...

thanks for the advice. Yeah i am eyeing a couple antec cases that best buy has (shipping a case cost more than its worth) and they come with nice 300 watt power supplies and also numerous places to put fans.

Ok well my school has an installfest where we went and install linux onto peoples computers. Since i was one of those that helped out, i got to pick any parts out of a box i wanted and well i found a bp6 motherboard in the box and instantly took it. I want to build a really good cheap computer from ...

I just got a abit bp6 for free. I am trying to build a decent workstation out of it for a small amount of money. I bought a 40gb ibm deskstar 60gxp hard drive for it. I found this site and have read all these horrible things about the hpt controller. It would be nice to get a raid 0 though. thing is...
