thsi really sux, tried replacing ram, video card and the darn thing wont boot, just powers up, the annoying thing is that, it kept giving me hope, i swapped the video card and then it booted up at 400, then take it up to stock speed, and reboot, then put my own video card in and it boots up, and i realize that all i have plugged in is the keyboard so i reboot and plug the fan on my video card back in (oops) thanks to my modded PIII heatsink it didnt get to hot, but after that i cant get it to post with anything, right now im posting on a Celly 300:eek: ...its not even a 300A:(

Sucks dude... maybe it's a blessing in disguise, pushing you towards that illustrious 1 GHZ plateau ;).

Get a ski mask, a 12 pack for courage, and something large to put in your coat pocket... 'visit' you local small town bank and politely ask the teller to deposit all the money in the drawer into the brown bag (oops, forgot to include that :p )...

Then go to your local small town PC Hardware shop (remove the ski mask first!! and preferably immediately after leaving the bank ;) ) and buy yourself the fastest CPU other people's money can buy!!

Or you could wait and see what your grades will be :p
