well i finally got the parts to build a new rig. My wife being the cost consious person she is wouldnt let me get everything that I wanted but oh well.
I got an Athalon 1.3. when I check my system, it says it is running at 996. I thought that this was a 1.3G? How o I get the rest of the performance outta this?
My next questiong is about the thermal goop under the heat sink. I got a Volcano 6, a bit loud but it seems to work good, but it is a bit loud. When I put it on I used quite a bit of goop under it. the bottom of the HS has a copper disk about the size of a silver dollar. I covered teh whole disk with goop. is this to much?
thanks for your advise....
