Thanks D.

Now you lot all better be on on your best behaviour, 'cos I'm in charge!

As we now have a new section for the eagerly awaited Windows Vista (thanks Derek!), here is a link to the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor.

Use it to see how much of the new features/bloat/bugs you will be able to enjoy.

That's good to know ReD-BaRoN2.

I have only ever used one controller card in my BP6, so thanks for clearing that up.

A UK-based eBay vendor is selling two BP6s with Celerons on Buy It Now.

BP6 + 2 x Celeron 400MHz

BP6 + 2 x Celeron 466MHz

NB Not my listings.

Yeah, and ThermalTake's stuff is not too well made in my experience. I had a Blue Orb on my BX northbridge and it was awful. I took it off and lapped it, then put it on my GPU. A GlobalWin LAC08 then went on the northbridge. I've got GlobalWin FEP-32Ms on my BP6 Celerons. No modding needed. Look a b...

But the Orbs do look jolly smart!

Please read the whole article (my first post). Anyway thank you for your interest. ales: I think you would get more people to look at your post if you separated it up into paragraphs. What you've written looks very monolithic and unreadable, and more folks will look at it if you break it up a bit. ...

I have, I now use a trackball and it's much nicer.

MICE ARE EVIL!

The only console I ever play is my GB Advance. I'm not really into games these days but I love to have the odd quick game on the GB. Also, it's great for the titles from yesteryear!

That DIY phone is nice.

I took the easy route and bought one of theseto use my cordless phone with Skype.

The full compliment of RAM made this pretty attractive I thought!

NB Not my auction

I have one unused Neo S370, still in the shrinkwrapped box, but postage to Oz from Blighty would probably be too much.

You interested?

Hi there s4brains.

Have you checked that the capacitors on the SA6 are OK? Have a peek at this if you are unaware of the problem.

Hi Larissa.

In your capacity as a model, have you ever been photographed with an Abit BP6 motherboard?

I hope so!

Hello all! I haven't been around for a while due to problems with tendonitis. I've had to curtail my computer use dramatically, but the ol' wrist is a lot better now. Great to see some old friends are still around, and a big "HELLO!" to all the new members. My BP6 had been in bits for a few months, ...

Eh? I was only messing around and playing the pedant. Not sure what you were implying. Please don't be offended by me in any way. I was simply pointing out that Degrees Fahrenheit isn't an American measurement. Perhaps I shouldn't have done it in such a flippant way, but I did mark it with a smiley....

All my PCs except my first 486 in 1993 have been self-built.

I have no idea what I'd buy if I was looking to get one pre-made.

Funny. I always thought Fahrenheit was a European scientist.

Three cheers!

Quite often over-clockers will "lap" the CPU using various grades of wet sandpaper. You should be able to find good information on this in this as well as many other "overclocking" forums. Have a peek at Derek's KB article here . OBTW, IMHO the BX chip set ALWAYS benefits from some form of active c...

Ouch! Careful with that DVD!

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer to find out the component ratings?

There are no guarantees with overclocking, so you may simply be unlucky.

If you suspect that your PSU is not quite what it could be, a better PSU may give you the results you want.

What sort of cooling are you using on the Celeron? Do you have any thermal compound between the heatsink and the CPU?
