grandma & i just fastened together our new fry's electronics system that was
too simple and works great. we "joined" the abit group, but were thinking
they think our questions are stupid:
1. we use a coolermaster copper core cpu fan with rheostat. cpu fan speed is
3629 currently and cu temp is 44c. shutdown is set at 56c. we would like to
dial down the fan speed even more in interest of noise. we have two addl
case fans. is dialing down the fan and raising the cpu temp to say, 50c, ok?
2. we have one stick of retail new kingston 2100 512. can you mix different
mhz? sticks; eg, 512 of 2700 in the other slot?(we know we could have
purchased faster ram, but we did not intend to buy this faster athlon and
board, but were glad we did. the install was just too simple)
3.we have win 98 se full version installed. we were told that it would be
better if we formatted (again) our 60 gb wd hard drive, and installed win xp
full home version.
we use our pc mainly for word and photos (minolta s414) and general home
stuff.
thankyou. tony & karen, oregon
