Well the new system seems to be running pretty smooth now, I think I have worked most of the bugs out, I'll soon have 2 new 256Mb sticks of PC-2100 DDR Ram from crucial.com, The original ram I got was from a site online that was advertizing a sale on micron ram, well I don't know all that much about this stuff but I don't see where it says MICRON anywhere on the ram I got, but it does say POWMEM, does anybody know anything about this stuff? One of the sticks I got died already, and the company that I bought it from is not answering my e-mails, Well, it was cheap anyway!

I wanted to say thanks to the people here that answered my questions, and also to all the people that had alreay asked the same questions I had (you saved me having to type)

Now I'm wondering about OverClocking, can anyone give me some reasonably safe guidelines for my AMD Athlon XP 1600+ on an ABIT KG7-Raid using the
SOFTMENU III
